That's right ET_Man you need to do some research and separate the garbage from the real information. There are no planet sized objects with 340AU of the sun. Pluto is out 39AU.
The link you gave talks about a fanciful pile of garbage. One of the silly notions is the earth tipping over. The earth does have a wobble. That wobble causes an effect known as precession of the equinoxes. If you work this wobble backward about 5000 years you find that the north pole pointed at a star called Thuban. That is a dim star to have a name. The reason it has a name is that it was used as the north star 5000 years ago. So what does ancient literature tell us? It tells us that the earth has been stable in its known motions for 5000 years! Nothing has tipped or affected the earth's motions in 5000 years!

More fanciful claims.
As the object continues its passage-the shaking of the planet becomes ever greater and the Earth begins to 'tip over'
As the Earth's axis of rotation shifts, the planet's tectonic plates begin to buckle, large areas of coastal cities fall off into the oceans' abyss where they will lay undisturbed becoming largely forgotten by future generations to come.

You need to read the Evidence & Facts to further understand such objects.
I suggest you go over the documents provided and then come back with a more educated reply.
There is no debate about this, you need to do the research period. period. period.
I would like to add: There are references contained within those documents, have you followed the references? Do you somehow feel qualified to make such counter assumptions/statements? Based on what?
Another fanciful claim is that a change in the magnetosphere is making the core unstable. What does that mean? What does making the core unstable mean? It means nothing. It's word salad, a collection of words with no meaning.
Show us the evidence with references and let's go over the evidence that support that such objects do exist.

The first video is a typical fanciful account of Velikovsky. It claims that the myths are actual historical accounts.
False claims that are made:
1. The length of the day has changed.
2. The orbit has changed.
3. Mountains other than volcanoes were formed in historic times.
4. Tilting of the axis of the earth
Evidence presented:
1. Modern artwork published in a newspaper
2. An oral presentation of the myths
3. Ancient people liked looking at the stars
Think out of the box and further research, this information is important for people to further investigate. I am not up for debate and have more important things to do with my time then stick around and debate the possibility of such objects (that I already know exist for myself) with no pun intended to unlearned researchers showing zero credentials and credibility thus far. Yes that is a challenge and a push for you to further research.
They can't hide a planet.

Search for the Tenth Planet
Dec 1981
Astronomers at the U.S. Naval Observatory (USNO) are using a powerful computer to identify the best target zones, and a telescopic search will follow soon after. ... Van Flandern thinks the tenth planet may be between two and five Earth masses and lie 50 to 100 astronomical units (4.6 Billion-9.3 Billion Miles) -from the Sun. His team also presumes that, like Pluto's, the plane of the undiscovered body's orbit is tilted with respect to that of most other planets, and that its path around the Sun is highly elliptical.
The observatory also made headlines briefly with the discovery of an "unknown object" that was at first described as "possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system.

Something out there beyond the farthest reaches of the known solar system seems to be tugging at Uranus and Neptune. Some gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object that may be the long-sought Planet X.....
More credence was given to the hypothesis that a “brown dwarf” star accounts for the mysterious force. This is the informal name astronomers give to celestial bodies that were not massive enough for their thermonuclear furnaces to ignite; perhaps like the huge planet Jupiter, they just missed being self-illuminating stars.
Most stars are paired, so it is not unreasonable to suggest that the Sun has a dim companion.

"All I can tell you is that we don't know what it is," Dr. Gerry Neugebauer, IRAS chief scientist for California's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and director of the Palomar Observatory for the California Institute of Technology, said in an interview.
The most fascinating explanation of this mystery body, which is so cold it casts no light and has never been seen by optical telescopes on Earth or in space, is that it is a giant gaseous planet as large as Jupiter and as close to Earth as 50 billion miles....
The mystery body was seen twice by the infrared satellite as it scanned the northern sky from last January to November, when the satellite ran out of the supercold helium that allowed its telescope to see the coldest bodies in the heavens. The second observation took place six months after the first and suggested the mystery body had not moved from its spot in the sky near the western edge of the constellation Orion in that time.
"This suggests it's not a comet because a comet would not be as large as the one we've observed and a comet would probably have moved," Houck said. "A planet may have moved if it were as close as 50 billion miles but it could still be a more distant planet and not have moved in six months time."
Whatever it is, Houck said, the mystery body is so cold its temperature is no more than 40 degrees above "absolute" zero, which is 456 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. The telescope aboard IRAS is cooled so low and is so sensitive it can "see" objects in the heavens that are only 20 degrees above absolute zero.
When IRAS scientists first saw the mystery body and calculated that it could be as close as 50 billion miles, there was some speculation that it might be moving toward Earth.
