Nibiru PROOF? Scientists 'uncovered Planet X' after finding heat 50 billion miles away

The Nibiru cataclysm is said to be a future disastrous encounter between the Earth and a large unknown planet – which many say will take place in the early 21st century. Believers in the doomsday event usually refer to the object involved as Planet X or Nibiru, with countless predictions over a collision with Earth surfacing over the years. However, it was an event in 1984 that sparked this outrageous conspiracy, according to a new documentary. 

2017 Amazon Prime series “Nibiru: Return of the Gods” detailed how an article in the New York Times headlined “Planet X” provoked a frenzy. 

The piece, which made the front page, revealed how US astronomers had discovered what they believed to be another planet after detecting heat in a distant solar system.

An extract read: “In observations with an infrared telescope, they found a huge, gaseous object orbiting a dim and distant star in the constellation Ophiuchus.

“They believed the object was nine-tenths the size of Jupiter, with a surface temperature of 1,000C.

“Some other astronomers, however, said the object might be too hot and massive to be called a planet in the usual sense.”

Eight years later, NASA confirmed they had discovered a new celestial body in space, yet revealed it was not a planet. 

Further analysis detailed it was an “interstellar cirrus” – a flaming hot structure giving off infrared light.

However, that did not stop the conspiracies. 

In 1991, Dr Robert Harrington, chief astronomer for the Naval Observatory detected an approach of a strange object to the solar system, first sparking rumours of a destructive planet. 

Dr Harrington calculated that Planet X would be at roughly three times the distance of Neptune from the Sun and its orbit would be highly eccentric and strongly pulled in by Earth’s gravitational pull.

Dr Harrington died two years later after this discovery, prompting conspiracies he had exposed a NASA cover-up operation.
