hi guys,

i have been hearing a lot of speculation about planet x / Niburu's orbit taking it through the centre of our solar system in 2012 obviously with catastrophic effects to bio life.

the documentaries i have seen on this event have not come sources which i would consider concrete evidence. i have never seen a documentary from a source i trust that even suggest that planet x exists, can anyone here shed some light on the matter. is there any scientific proof of planet x existence and its projected orbit, or is this just another " The World is going to end" scare tactic?.


thanks :D
