A former CNN intern has posted what he says is a "never-before-seen video the last living CNN employee will be required to play" if the world was to end.
Michael Ballaban, who was an intern at CNN back in 2009, said he uncovered the video on CNN's MIRA archiving system under the name "TURNER DOOMSDAY VIDEO" - after a tip-off from his college professor who previously worked for the 24-hour news network.
Last night, he uploaded the clip along with a post on the Jalopnik blog.
The video shows an unassuming military band playing Nearer, My God, to Thee before fading to black - presumably as the world meets its unfortunate demise.
Perhaps it comes as less of a shock for those who have long speculated about the existence of such a video.

Many believe it was commissioned by CNN founder Ted Turner who said upon launching the network in 1980: "We gonna go on air June 1, and we gonna stay on until the end of the world. When that time comes, we'll cover it, play 'Nearer, My God, to Thee,' and sign off."
As if to verify the authenticity of the CNN Doomsday video, Ballaban claims the clip "is in standard definition, with an aspect ratio of 4:3, perfect for the cathode-ray tube televisions of the 1980s" - the decade in which CNN was founded.
"The video didn't take long to find; it turned up after a quick search in the database. There is no date attached, but the title reads "TURNER DOOMSDAY VIDEO," he writes, adding a supposed screen-grab showing the file, with the red-lettered restriction: 'Hold For Release till end of world confirmed.'
Mr Turner, who has since retired from the media industry, has yet to comment on the authenticity of the video.
