OK here is the conspiracy, planet x is a massive object (possibly a brown dwarf) identified by IRAS (Infared Astronomical Satellite) in 1983. It is on an elliptical orbit around the sun. Close proximity to Earth during the elliptical orbit directly effects the Earth as shown by Katrina and New Year Tsunami amongst others. In 2012 it will be at it's closest point resulting in potentially apocalyptic events. This has been of interest also regarding a mathematical discussion which indicates such an object should mathematically exist. The conspiracy states this is highlighted by a perturbation in Uranus and Neptune's orbit.

The point IS NOT to discuss physiological considerations of conspiracy theory.

Question - What is the truth?

Points for consideration
1. What is current evidence of a "planet x"?
2. What could "planet x" be?
3. Has recent times seen any real increase in major weather / tidal event?
4. What is any potential reason of any observed increase?
5. Is there really a perturbation in the orbits of Uranus/Neptune? If so why?

There is no there there.

And the full account that there was not one object, but several, all of which were successfully identified and none of which were planets or nearby stars.

If Rpenner doesn't mind I would like to examine these claims just on their own basis to see if they can logically be correct.


OK... let's see

1. Katrina formed in August 2005.

2. The New Year Tsunami was December 26 2004.

That is a difference of 8 months. Do you know of any orbits that would come close to us every 8 months? It would have to be in an orbit very near ours I would assume. How has it not been seen?

Also...

Why is 2012 specifically a date when this is to happen?

If it's based on the Mayan calendar, I have a few surprises for you.

Does this mean that it's orbit would take it near Uranus and Neptune. If so, it could not possibly have a small enough orbit around the Sun to affect us every 8 months.

Well..that's all for now.
