I personally think you (Phage) are a disinformation agent
Be glad. More people share of your opinion.
I'm just saying, some people don't believe things, it doesn't make them disinfo agents.

I just needed to chime in and say this, because over the past few years I've heard the term "Planet X" misused again and again and I tire of biting my tongue. "Planet X" was what they called Pluto before it was officially found and named Pluto. If you must call this supposed brown dwarf something, call it something other than planet X, as that name was taken long ago. That, and the other name sounds a whole lot more interesting.
Lowell proposed the Planet X hypothesis to explain apparent discrepancies in the orbits of the gas giants, particularly Uranus and Neptune, speculating that the gravity of a large unseen ninth planet could have perturbed Uranus enough to account for the irregularities.
Clyde Tombaugh's discovery of Pluto in 1930 appeared to validate Lowell's hypothesis, and Pluto was officially considered the ninth planet until 2006. In 1978, however, Pluto was found to be too small for its gravity to affect the gas giants, resulting in a brief search for a tenth planet.
The search was largely abandoned in the early 1990s, when a study of measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft found that the irregularities observed in Uranus's orbit were due to a slight overestimation of Neptune's mass..
Today, the astronomical community widely agrees that Planet X, as originally envisioned, does not exist. However, the concept of Planet X has been revived by a number of astronomers to explain other anomalies observed in the outer Solar System. In popular culture, and even among some astronomers,Planet X has become a stand-in term for any undiscovered planet in the outer Solar System, regardless of its relationship to Lowell's hypothesis.
In addition, probability arguments have also been used to suggest the existence of planet-sized objects in the outer Solar System. Sedna's 12,000-year orbit is so eccentric that it spends only a small fraction of its orbital period near the Sun, where it can be easily observed. This means that unless its discovery was a freak accident, there are probably a substantial population of objects roughly Sedna's diameter yet to be observed in its orbital region. Mike Brown, the discoverer of Sedna, noted in his 2007 Lowell Lecture that, "Sedna is about three-quarters the size of Pluto. If there are sixty objects three-quarters the size of Pluto [out there] then there are probably forty objects the size of Pluto ... If there are forty objects the size of Pluto, then there are probably ten that are twice the size of Pluto. There are probably three or four that are three times the size of Pluto, and the biggest of these objects ... is probably the size of Mars or the size of the Earth." However, he notes that, should such an object be found, even though it might approach the Earth in size, it would still be a dwarf planet by the current definition, since it will not have cleared its neighborhood sufficiently

Unless they were correct, that would make them sensible. It is this type of narrow minded, CLOSED minded illogic that is plaguing us so badly. If you honestly believe what you just typed, you are dangerously close to becoming worse than a disinfo-agent. It would make you a purveyor of ignorance and narrow-mindedness. Just because someone disagrees with you only means one thing, they THINK differently...
Hmmmmmm, lets see:
The Sumerians said Nibiru does exist. The sumerians didn't know about Uranus or anything beyond much less Nibiru. They offer almost nothing in the way of astronomical records.
The ancient Hindu (Rama Empire) said Nibiru does exist.Ditto
The ancient Hebrew said Nibiru does existThe Hebrew couldn't muster anything past Saturn
The Mayans and other Meso American civilizations said that there's a cosmic body that passes periodically through our system and shakes the thing on Earth. As far as astronomy the Maya were on par with Ptolemy.
9 in 10 ancient civilizations, reported this same "crossing cosmic body".... "Nemesis", "Absyntho", "Marduk", "Baal Star", "The abomination of desolation of prophet Daniel"... Horribly innaccurate interperetations of ancient literature. Vague at best. More likely completely wrong.
But it's OK, they were all lying and those who regard the possibility of this body being real, are "narrow minded"... Way to go guys, don't trust them... Trust the guy on ATS that say it doesn't exist...

jesus people just go back and have a good look at the two photos that phage posted, the stars in both photos match up almost perfectly, which should tell you two things...
1. the co-ordinates in the original you-tube videos are bogus
2. it is mars
but by all means ignore the facts and carry on just making it up as you go along.
Honestly phage i really dont know why you bother mate!
1. the co-ordinates in the original you-tube videos are bogus

Each other, yes. EVERYONE? I'm just saying, some people don't believe things, it doesn't make them disinfo agents. If you look at most of what is discussed on this forum, most people would think we're crazy for even being members!

I don't think it's Betelgeuse, when he pans up he goes too far left, those coordinates are bogus too, very convenient them being in the middle of that blacked out patch
However, after staring at google sky, stellarium (til I was boggled eyed) and checking a few sites I think it's Mars.
Mars is in about the right place.
Just my opinion.
And a fine opinion it is! Thanks for boggling your eyes.

don't listen to any of the disinfo bloggers on ATS who say it's nothing without any proof whatsoever.
