IDK Cal, I'm not even saying this isn't presenting the possibility of fear mongering only. I don't see anything that is indicative of it being TYCHE that is refered to here. Why wouldn't they say TYCHE ? Is that name taboo now too ?
Up telescope! Search begins for giant new planet
Tyche may be bigger than Jupiter and orbit at the outer edge of the solar system
If you grew up thinking there were nine planets and were shocked when Pluto was demoted five years ago, get ready for another surprise. There may be nine after all, and Jupiter may not be the largest.
The hunt is on for a gas giant up to four times the mass of Jupiter thought to be lurking in the outer Oort Cloud, the most remote region of the solar system. The orbit of Tyche (pronounced ty-kee), would be 15,000 times farther from the Sun than the Earth's, and 375 times farther than Pluto's, which is why it hasn't been seen so far.
But scientists now believe the proof of its existence has already been gathered by a Nasa space telescope, Wise, and is just waiting to be analysed.

He refers to an article in the British newspaper The Independent. Here is that article:

All CNN was doing was reporting on someone else's reporting. This is not "confirmation." It's the same old stuff from Matese and Whitmire.

Hoax.
For those of you who don't know, using Google Sky to find an uncharted planet or comet is like using Google Earth to watch a parade.

I think its time we stop with the Nibiru fantasies. There's much bigger fish to fry.
