“The model that is the simplest explanation for this is that there's a perturber in the Oort Cloud, and calculations suggest this would have to be Jupiter mass, maybe a few times the mass of Jupiter.
A swarm of comets on the fringes of the solar system, and gets close enough to Earth for us to see it. But they don't seem to be scattered at random.
There's an abundance of them around a great circle in the sky, and that suggests that there's something perturbing them in from this great circle.”

interesting stuff;
I vote the planet be called 'ninja' as it is 'hiding' behind the oort cloud, and 'flinging' comets at us
the way these nasa types give human traits to jupiter sized objects dazzles the mind
nice find OP

Certainly though as the awareness of this hypothetical planet gains momentum it will fuel more doom threads.
So to anyone who reads about this hypothetical planet, again it is way to far away to have any effect of us.
Thanks for bringing that to our attention

Now that is interesting. Imagine how cool it would be to live as an alien race on a planet that is hurtling through space at such a
speed. Their atmosphere is heated by space friction and if they pass a planet they like they just throw out a big old hook and tug it allong for eternity. Now thats a comic i would buy.

There must be some kind of point to dig out an article that's purely speculative.
