The countdown
What is predicted, and what happened last time
Most conspiracy claims are safely vague. A few name a date, and a date is the one thing that answers itself. Below are the dates still ahead of us, and then the record of the ones that arrived.

Predicted: Earth's gravity fails for about seven seconds, an event a leaked NASA programme called Project Anchor supposedly confirms.
Posts circulating on social media
What happened: Nothing happened. There is no NASA programme called Project Anchor and the agency said so publicly. The claim had also fixed its own moment at 14:33 UTC, an hour before the eclipse it was attached to began anywhere on Earth.

Predicted: A total solar eclipse over Greenland, Iceland and Spain fulfils biblical end-times prophecy.
End-times readings circulating online
What happened: The eclipse happened exactly as predicted by every astronomical table, giving mainland Spain its first totality since 1905. Nothing else did. The prophecy rode on an event whose timing was never in doubt, which is the pattern this genre depends on.

Predicted: A coordinated nine-day shutdown of the world's power, internet and communications begins, concealed by governments as a step toward a global reset.
Posts circulating on TikTok and X
What happened: The date passed with no shutdown anywhere. No government or space agency had ever issued such a warning, and there is no integrated global grid that could be switched off. This was the single biggest traffic event in this site's history, which is worth stating plainly: the fear was very widely held.

Predicted: A six-planet alignment pulls hard enough on Earth to trigger major earthquakes, tsunamis, eruptions or a pole shift.
Posts circulating on social media
What happened: The date passed with no unusual earthquakes, tsunamis or pole shift, exactly as astronomers had said it would. The combined tidal pull of every planet on Earth is a few parts per million of the Moon's.

Predicted: Jesus returns to gather the church, on dates revealed in a vision and amplified under the #RaptureTok banner.
Pastor Joshua Mhlakela, amplified on TikTok
What happened: The dates came and went. Its originator reinterpreted the vision toward new dates in early October, which is the move that keeps a failed prediction alive: the date moves, the belief does not.

Predicted: A catastrophic megaquake and tsunami strike Japan, as supposedly foretold in Ryo Tatsuki's manga The Future I Saw.
Ryo Tatsuki, The Future I Saw
What happened: No megaquake came. Tourism to Japan fell measurably in the run-up, so a prediction that turned out to be about nothing still had costs. Japan is genuinely one of the most seismically active places on Earth, which is what made the guess feel safe.

Predicted: A tetrad of four total lunar eclipses falling on Jewish feasts heralds a world-shaking, biblically foretold event tied to Israel.
Pastors Mark Biltz and John Hagee
What happened: The window opened in April 2014 and closed with the fourth eclipse on 28 September 2015. No such event occurred. Lunar tetrads are ordinary astronomy and recur on a schedule anyone can look up.

Predicted: The world ends or is transformed as the Maya Long Count calendar completes its 13th b'ak'tun.
Widely circulated from the 1970s onward
What happened: The cycle completed and the calendar rolled over, which is what calendars do. Maya scholars had said so throughout, and no inscription ever predicted an ending.

Predicted: A spacecraft from a Next Level travelled concealed behind Comet Hale-Bopp, and members could rendezvous with it by leaving their physical bodies.
Marshall Applewhite and the Heaven's Gate group
What happened: Thirty-nine people died by suicide in Rancho Santa Fe between 22 and 26 March 1997 in order to make the rendezvous. There was no craft behind Hale-Bopp; the comet was photographed continuously by observatories worldwide and remains one of the best documented of the twentieth century. This entry is on the board because the cost of a dated prophecy is not always disappointment.

Predicted: A planetary alignment raises tides on the Sun, disturbs Earth's rotation and triggers a great earthquake on the San Andreas Fault.
John Gribbin and Stephen Plagemann, The Jupiter Effect (1974)
What happened: The day passed without incident. The book's own lead author had publicly disowned the theory before the date arrived, which is rarer than it should be.

Predicted: The ancestors return to raise the dead, replace the herds and drive the colonists into the sea, if the living first destroy their own cattle and crops.
The prophetess Nongqawuse, from 1856
What happened: The appointed day passed like any other. No ancestors rose and no cattle appeared. The famine that followed the slaughter of the herds killed an estimated 40,000 people and broke Xhosa independence. This is the entry that should stop anyone treating a failed prophecy as a joke.

Predicted: Christ returns on a fixed calendar date, reckoned from the 2,300 evenings of Daniel 8:14.
William Miller's followers, the Millerites
What happened: Tens of thousands had expected it. The day came and went with no return, and the movement itself named the outcome the Great Disappointment. A modern echo ran the same arithmetic to 21 May 2011, then revised to 21 October 2011, with the same result.

A date gets onto this board because an editor put it there, not because a script found a number in the text. That is deliberate: the corpus holds 412 files carrying some date, and almost all of them are history rather than prophecy.
