Out of curiosity, what about this particular comet made some of you think it was something other than a comet?
I just don't get where the wild ideas are forming from. It looks like a comet, acts like a comet... is there something special about this thing that made some of you jump off the normal astrological object bandwagon?

IT is a BLACK dwarf, that is why it tends to look faded and disappear the closer it approaches to the sun! It doesnt Reflect the light..

You mean a black dwarf that takes 13.7 billion years to form? This has been brought up by another user and its almost as ridiculous as Hoagland's claims. It is absolutely impossible for a black dwarf to exist at this time. Maybe in the next billion years or so a black dwarf will exist, but not now. Especially not one in a solar system that is only 4.5 billion years old.
