A "giant invisible comet (that's sometimes actually a planet or a brown dwarf star) that nobody can see but it's really coming and heading straight
for us."
(sigh)
You've fallen victim to one of the "People don't bother to learn anything about science and astronomy so let's see what they'll swallow" sites.
We need some sort of derogatory name for these junk science sites... we really do.
No, there isn't a great periodic comet/planet/spaceship/BigFloatyThing that shows up every 3600 years and causes havoc. We have plenty of written
records of all kinds of civilizations (not to mention the archaeological records) and it just didn't happen. This doesn't stop the Overly
Imaginative, however.
No, NASA isn't covering up anything. There are hundreds of thousands of amateur astronomers around (including our own CdrKeenKid) who would be
shrieking and rounding up the public if anything of the sort showed up on their scopes.
Yes, Sitchin and others are not telling the truth. Some are just deluded and have a bad understanding of science, but a few seem to be motivated by
finances.
No, the Sumerians didn't have 12 planets, and this is very demonstrateable in their own astronomical observatories. In fact, they didn't know that
there was anything beyond Saturn.
The planet was supposed to demolish us in 2000... and then in 2001... and then in 2003... now I think they say it's 2007 and when it doesn't show up
then, they'll reschedule for the ever popular 2012, and when that doesn't happen, they'll try 2020... and so on and so forth.
