The claim
A leaked NASA document called "Project Anchor" predicts that Earth will lose gravity for seven seconds on August 12, 2026.
Original review summary
Fact Crescendo Sri Lanka reports that it found no evidence of a NASA document or project called “Project Anchor” and says NASA denied that Earth would lose gravity on August 12, 2026. The review explains that gravity cannot simply switch off and that gravitational waves cannot cancel Earth’s gravitational field.[S1]
Additional context
A total solar eclipse is scheduled for August 12, 2026, but the review says it has no measurable effect on Earth’s gravity. [S1]
