The sentence wasnt mine.
It was qouted above the video at beforeitsnews.

As for what I thought about it.
I dunno exactly.
Its based on sources and he said stuff.
I cant prove or disprove the guy.
Im just leary of anything about a Nibiru.
So I guess if you wanna give it a watch and come to your own conclusions,

Just more 2012 nonsense that has no bearing in reality. If a body as large as a planet approached earth, we'd know about it.
Please elaborate why you are so certain it would even be visible to us in the first place. Do you honestly believe that if we can't see it it's not there? You might as well take the hot-tub-timemachine back to the middle-ages if that's the case
Please, just for 5 seconds, wonder what else could be POSSIBLE in this infinite universe. EVERYTHING. But no, it's not visible to use, humans, the center of the universe, all knowing creatures, so it's not real! Wrong, we know nothing, everything we know now will be wrong if given enough time, it takes a fool to believe these things as if they were eternal truth, you are about equal to medieval man if you believe everything you know now is truth, while in reality, nothing is.

The earth being flat is a bit more work to discover than a huge massive object that should technically be so close it would fill the sky in the daytime....
I'm an avid astronomer, and have been for a long...long time, and have a good background in physics. I still think the hole idea is ridiculous, not to mention impossible.
Its a shame really that a lot of people dismiss science for spirituality and other faithful believings. If you could tell me 1 possible scenario where we could miss such a massive object, id be more than interested to read it and take it on board
About half of the stars in our Milky Way galaxy are, unlike our Sun, part of a binary system in which two stars orbit each other.
Anyways, this gas giant would only be visible with an infrared telescope.
The NIRSPEC Brown Dwarf Spectroscopic Survey (BDSS; McLean et al. 2003, 2007) is a large sample of high-quality near-infrared spectra obtained with the Keck II 10 m telescope. One of the goals of the BDSS is to provide as direct a measurement of effective temperature, surface gravity, and metallicity as is possible for non-eclipsing objects. In principle, this can be accomplished by comparing observed infrared spectra with synthetic spectra from atmosphere models, without relying on spectral type, distance measurements, or estimates of radius, mass, and age. Other authors have applied this promising but as yet imperfect technique to brown dwarfs. The primary difficulty of applying this method to low-mass stars and brown dwarfs is the complexity of the spectra to be modeled, leading to imposed limitations on resolution, wavelength range, and/or sample size.
A brown dwarf only emits infrared, true. So, if a brown dwarf is far from any star it can only be detected by the light it emits. However, if it is near a star (like the Sun) it will reflect the light of the star just as Jupiter reflects the light of the Sun.

Such an object would be visible to the naked eye as far away as Saturn (at least). Such an object would be visible in visible light telescopes at a much greater distance than, say, Pluto.

Brown dwarfs are NOT planets and have to be looked at with special equipment.
From this paper, it sure seems as though you need special equipment to view brown dwarfs.

Oh, it's coming alright.
It's coming "soon"
