It's as real as Hogwarts Castle and however much disinfo you watch and read won't make it any more real.
If you want the real truth, try here:

Of course, those who beleive the world is flat will, of course, take no notice. After all, if it says planet x is real on the internet, it must be real. Right?
(actually, correctly speaking, planet x is real - it was the term used to describe a theoretical planet thought to orbit beyond Neptune. It's now called Pluto)

One thing I have noticed here on ATS is that the "skeptics" come out on these threads about Planat X in reletively high numbers and successfully trash many of the threads about it.

Sorry, the information is pretty much all search engine material and forum chatter. It's hearsay
it's in the constellation Orion
it can only be viewed from the southern hemisphere
Well that clears it all up for me, Orion is in the Northern sky, and well, NewWorldOver contradicted himself, I realize that you are fairly new but at ATS conjecture and facts are two different things

The whole Planet X idea has been chewed, swallowed, partially digested and spit up again, like a camel's cud. I've been to a number of websites purporting to show pix and data relative to Planet X. I too was concerned for a while until I realized something: There are many, many amateur astronomers all over the world with high tech telescopes and imaging capabilities. Many dedicate years of their lives, just for the hobby of it, to study a star that seems to blink unusually. See: www.slackerastronomy.org... at the bottom of the page "publishing" link .Why haven't we heard about Planet X from some non-governmental amateur astronomer? They do the math and they are looking up and around! Are they also in on the "conspiracy"? IMHO, no. Until I see some independant reliable data, I will have to say that Planet X is still in the fantasy or theoretical phase, but not yet factual.

As a filmmaker and scriptwriter myself I take severe umbrage at the first video being portrayed as any scientific proof
Perhaps the poster would review the definitions of proof and theory.
and the scientific method
please trace another thread here Dysgenics, my THEORY is you may be a victim. Please prove me wrong.

So basically, because Joe Schmoe isn't observing this planet with this dinky telescopes from his backyard, You don't believe the planet exists.
If you bother to read the thread, you'll notice that I've already outlined this common way of thinking. It's called living with preconceived notions of reality. You are a skeptic because people all around the world aren't able to whip out their telescopes and take photos of the planet. I call that ignorant, and small-minded. If you can't find 'reliable data' than your not willing to look, and that's the straight and hard truth that I am offering you skeptics : YOU DO NOT ACKNOWLEDGE RELIABLE DATA WHEN IT SPITS YOU IN THE FACE You want it to corroborate with every other skeptic and paid-off scientist on the planet before your willing to even conceive it. You want to see it with your own 200 dollar telescopes from your backyard, or else it doesn't exist.
So be it.
Willfull ingorance, the skeptics mode of operation.

God is energy, that's it...we just put a face to it because most can't believe in something they cannot see or understand. We could have called it Steve and nothing would change.
And we kill each other, elements kill us, other energies kill us, but only our physical state which is created by the balance of energies on Earth ( i don't know how to write that.)
If something does happen in 2012 or whatever...what can you do? Nothing, just let it happen...and everybody needs to stop thinking so negative because the smallest inconsistancey will be made into a large negative situation. IE Y2K computer clock will go to zero...oh no....how did we fall for that???!! You'd think the people would learn from that farce....but...we're humans...we think negative so we can attempt to sound like an intellect while assuring others of our knowlegde...pfft, just sit back let everything flow.

Yes, NASA found a 10th planet. Yes, there are other planet-size masses in the Kuiper belt, etc. That knowledge has come out of the theoretical realm into the factual for me. Not one person of professional or amateur hobbyist stature has stepped forward with reliable reproducible data to suggest that the earth will be hit (or near-missed) in 2012.
