The speculation being Saturn used to be a Sun which Earth orbited around instead of Sol.
Never heard of the Black Sun mumbo-jumbo rhetoric and all that jazz?
The Nazis and Himmler were apparently in to the subject.
Anyway nether Saturn nor Jupiter contain anywhere near enough mass for nuclear fusion to occur with even the smallest brown dwarf being about 20 times the mass of Jupiter.
Just stories and hyperbole but great science fiction.
