Nibiru, Take Two: September 23, 2017
Nibiru Scheduled for September 23, 2017; Nibiru Reschedules
Author David Meade said Planet Nibiru would collide with Earth on September 23, 2017. Earth kept its appointment; Nibiru didn't.
What was claimed (paraphrase)
Claimed that on Sept. 23, 2017, 'Planet Nibiru' would collide with the Earth.
— David Meade (author of 'Planet X - The 2017 Arrival') · said 2017 · due September 23, 2017
September 23, 2017 came and went with no collision and no Nibiru. He then made new predictions for October 2017.
The Story
Paraphrase from USA Today's summary of his claims. He first pointed to October 2017, then moved it up to September 23. After that date passed he made new predictions for October 2017.
On September 22, the eve of his date, he told The Washington Post: 'The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending.'
Later spin
The world is not ending, but the world as we know it is ending. A major part of the world will not be the same the beginning of October. (To The Washington Post, the day before, as reported by USA Today.)
