This topic will be discussed in further detail at a later time. There are three widely quoted and circulated conclusions regarding the issue of an intruding celestial body, now popularly referred to as Planet X. The first of these statements concerns a projected appearance of such a body in the spring of 2003. The second concerns a statement of astronomical coordinates (right ascension and declination) of purported observations of such a body in the neighborhood of the constellation Orion. The third is in regards to the reported finding of such a “planet” by the IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite) sensor in 1983 in the direction of Orion. These statements appear to originate from a restricted set of sources.
Let it be stated that this researcher can in no way support any of the above determinations or claims in any way at this time. As a matter of fact, information analyzed up to this point is contradictory to the above claims, and no factual basis has been identified for either the pinpointed 2003 date, the specified astronomical location or the conclusion of sighting by IRAS in 1983. In addition, a claim from the so-called “2003 Problem” article authored by a Soviet journalist that is used to validate the issue appears to be seriously flawed. These particular claims have been made by certain parties that are receiving considerable public attention; from this researcher’s point of view these claims appear to be without substance at this time. Readers are encouraged to discern any emerging sound and reasonable findings from any acts of speculation, extrapolation, conjecture or sensationalism without basis on this issue.
The consideration of an intrusive celestial body into our solar system does, however, remain a legitimate and viable topic of serious research. The questions of location, orbital path and solar system effects of a candidate celestial body are to be properly examined. Further analysis of this issue and any potential linkage to the aerosol operations will be expanded within these pages in the near future.
