So in the video it says it is "lurking at the edge of the solar system"

2011 SE58 was a minor asteroid that wasn't even discovered until September 21. If NASA provided warnings for every minor object that came near Earth that's all they would be doing. Despite that it was never even rated on the Torino Scale as far as I know. Also, the media is not disclosing anything about a brown dwarf because there is no brown dwarf. CNN wouldn't even have shown that segment if the viewers hadn't voted on it.

The whole reason for this post is because the media has been denying anything to do with a brown dwarf star and now they are slowly disclosing it. They say at the edge of our solar system...but they do lie. Do I expect you to believe what they say...no. I just find it interesting after all the denial that they are slowly letting out some disclosure. I pointed out NASA because I believe they know more than they are telling us. That is why I showed the example of asteroid SE58 with its near miss of earth and no warning from NASA.

Why are the Draconids unusual? They're an annual meteor shower. Even the thousand meteors an hour isn't that odd for it. It's a bit stronger than normal, but in no way compares to the showers of 1933 and 1946 when there were thousands of meteors per hour.

Well I know that NASA is worried about it damaging satellites and other things in space. I know there has been damage from falling meteors lately...like the one that fell in Argentina.
So 1,000 meteors per hour is scary...they usually have 10 per hour.
You don't know how many of those are going to come through...you will think differently if one hits you in the head.
