    Yah there is a local talk station that has this "Doctor" on about once a month to talk about the paranormal, conspiracies, and doomsday astronomy. Anyway, he claims that calculations were just a bit off and that it will pass by earth this fall. Now this is what he claims planet X is:

    Approximately the size of Jupiter, but much more dense
    Travels on an elliptical path that brings it near earth every several thousand years
    The last time it passed earth it caused the axis to shift into the angle and position its in now.
    Planet X is to pass with 10 million miles of earth in the next month or so.

    That last point is really the one that makes no sense. Mars, at its closest this past month, was 33 million miles from earth, so this planet X will be approx. 1/3 the distance Earth was from Mars. Also if it’s the size of Jupiter, it will be more than 800 times the size of Mars. Given the distance to earth times the size, Planet X should be appear 2400X the size of Mars in the night sky (and/or day). I would believe that anyone with a reasonable size telescope should be able to pick up the gigantic object.

    I know its BS. He had to explain why someone in the Midwest could not see the planet, but he claimed people at the equater and at the pole could see this planet but due to "the physical position" of the planet you could not see from the middle of the US!!! WTF, If you can see from Quito, Equidor and you can see it from Barrow, Alaska, you [b]should[/b] be able to see it from a middle latitude.

  • I remember some guest on Cost to Cost with art bell, She said that Planet X was going to smash into earth Some time this year.


    And if I remember those voyager probes slowed down abit, My theory on why they slowed down was becuase then mite have been pasing near Planet X, So Planet X is where is should be.

    You should've seen that episode of SoB.. I mean, that huge muscular guy shouting with teary eyes that "The war never happened! It was just allied propaganda!" or something. :)

    Great, now you've set off Warleader. It'll take use hours to get him calmed down again (well, calmed down for him).
