On the origin of planets at very wide orbits from re-capture of free
floating planets

Hagai B. Perets, M. B. N. Kouwenhoven
(Submitted on 10 Feb 2012)

In recent years several planets have been discovered at wide orbits
(>100 AU) around their host stars. Theoretical studies encounter
difficulties in explaining their formation and origin. Here we propose
a novel scenario for the production of planetary systems at such
orbits, through the dynamical recapture of free floating planets
(FFPs) in dispersing stellar clusters. This process is a natural
extension of the recently suggested scenario for the formation of wide
stellar binaries. We use N-body simulations of dispersing clusters
with 10-1000 and f_FFP=0.5-2 to study this process. We find that
planets are captured into wide orbits, ~100-10^6 AU, and a thermal
eccentricity distribution. Typically, 3-6x(f_FFP/1) % of all stars
capture a planetary companion (f_FFP is the number of FFP per star).
The planetary capture efficiency is comparable to that of capture-
formed stellar-binaries, and shows a similar dependence on the cluster
size and structure. The capture efficiency is almost independent of
the specific planetary mass; planets as well as sub-stellar companions
of any mass can be captured, where the capture efficiency decreases
with increasing cluster size. For a given cluster size the capture
efficiency increases with the host/primary mass. More than one planet
can be captured around the same host, and planets can be captured into
binary systems. We also expect planets to be captured into pre-
existing planetary systems as well as around compact objects, if these
formed early enough before the cluster dispersal. In particular,
stellar black holes have a high capture efficiency (>50 % and
5-10x(f_FFP/1) % for capture of stars and planetary companions,
respectively) due to their large mass. Finally, although rare, two
FFPs or brown dwarfs can become bound and form a FFP-binary system
with no stellar host through this process.

There really could be a giant planet hidden far beyond Pluto

Pluto is about forty times the distance from the Sun as Earth. But the
Solar System is over 50000 times that length across, meaning it could
be hiding some huge secrets. That's now looking like a small but real
possibility.
In recent years, astronomers have discovered a bunch of planets
located at least 100 astronomical units, or the distance from the Sun
to the Earth, away from their host stars. These planets are gas giants
- they would have to be for us to see them at all - so this is
something very different the dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris
discovered in our solar system's Kuiper Belt and beyond.

There's almost no chance that these giant planets could have formed as
part of their host star's planetary disc, considering their immense
distance away. That strongly suggests that these are former rogue
planets captured by the star's gravity. Hagai Perets of the Harvard-
Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics and Thijs Kouwenhoven at Peking
University's Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics teamed up
to figure out just how often we can expect stars - potentially
including those like our own Sun - to capture these giant wandering
planets. ScienceNOW reports their results:

Because most stars are born with others, Perets and Kouwenhoven ran
computer simulations to see what happens when a star cluster contains
free-floating planets. If the number of free-floating planets equals
the number of stars, then 3% to 6% of the stars succeed in capturing a
planet, and some stars capture two or three. Most of the captured
planets end up hundreds or thousands of times farther from their stars
than Earth is from the sun. Furthermore, most captured planets have
orbits tilted to those of native-born planets, and half the captured
planets revolve around their stars backward.

Their work depends on having a good grasp of how many rogue planets
there really are, and we can't be sure our current estimates, which
suggest there area as many wandering planets as there are stars, is
accurate. But if these results are accurate, then our Sun, whose mass
is slightly above average, had a real chance of capturing one or more
planets eons ago.

The chances aren't huge by any stretch - probably only a few percent,
according to Perets - but if their numbers are accurate, then the
possibility of such a planet definitely exists. Coupled with some
recent, admittedly far from convincing signs pointing to such a
planet's possible existence in the Oort Cloud, the Solar System might
just have one gigantic secret waiting for us to discover.

Thanks so much for posting this, David.  This is one of the most exciting scientific papers on this subject to emerge for some time.  It's practically describing the entry and capture of Marduk into the solar system in a scientific paper, albeit in a theoretical way.  Their cluster idea has been something I've been discussing for a while - that the brown dwarf was loosely associated with the Sun in a star-forming cluster early on, and then came crashing in some time after the formation of the planetary system.  I'll write something up about this for the site.

Many thanks,

David,

 

The idea of a 10th planet in our solar system was known as far back as the ancient Sumerians, and maybe further back in time.  I wonder where the Scientists first got the idea of a 10th planet in our system?   Maybe they followed the tried and true way, but just maybe, they followed the ancient records/accounts from the Sumerians & Egyptians of The Destroyer and its 3,500 to 3,600 year orbit?  Its last appearence was sometime between 1586 to 1600BC.

 

Or, just maybe, they were warned about its coming arrival from some of those off-world visitors President Eisenhower met with back between 1954-55?

 

Project Camelot had an interview with the Italian Reporter Luca Scantamburlo in 2008.   Here are the links to the two part video interview ...

The people mentioned in this interview are:

KC  Kerry Cassidy

BR  Bill Ryan 

LS   Luca Scantamburlo

 

The Vatican is a small state, you know. But, it’s a tradition, it’s a reputation. Moreover, the importance... You have a state in which you have politics and also you have faith, you know. You have it together. And...

                        KC: So this man is coming forward secretly. He’s backed by a couple other people in the Vatican?

                        LS: I don’t know the numbers, but I can imagine a few of them.

 

                 KC: Okay.

                        LS: A minority of course, because it’s not an official position of the Vatican.

                        KC: Okay. And what they’re saying is that there is a planet out in the solar system, approaching...

                        LS: Approaching us.

                        KC: ...approaching us. The Earth.

LS: Yes. There is the...

BR: Is it a planet, Luca, or is it just some large body?

LS: That’s an interesting question. An interesting question because... well. What Barbato knew about this - because we had a conversation, we had many discussions - what he knew without doubt is that the Jesuit told him that this planetoid, which it seems that is coming in the solar system, would be - according to the Jesuit it is - the so-called Planet X, or the ancient god Nibiru. And Marduk, according to the Babylonians.

So “Planet X” is a scientific expression for something that should be out there. But at least officially, up to now, there is no evidence. I mean... indirect evidence there are, but direct evidence, officially, observation from some observatories, there aren’t, officially. But, there are indirect evidence that there should be something out there.

But the Jesuit pointed out this - that planetoid is the Sumerian planet. I mean, what the Sumerians called Nibiru, “the planet of crossing,” that everybody, you know, should be familiar with this because Zecharia Sitchin, for example - the well-known historian, Russian historian, who lives in New York - wrote many books about this. The Jesuit told Barbato the planetoid IS the so-called Nibiru planet.

BR: Do you know what they called it, in the Vatican? What their name for it is?

LS: No. I don’t know. I can have some ideas about this. Because if you look in the New Testament, John’s book, the Book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, there is a passage in which - maybe - there is a reference to this body. But if you consider that book, the Book of Revelation, not just a book about metaphysical or, just, you know, a future which will involve the spiritual forms; if you consider that book as a book with a, I mean... [searching for correct words]... I mean, how can I call them? Future events?

KC: Prophetic.

LS: But retaining symbolic, in symbolic...How do you say?

KC: Language.

LS: In symbolic language. If you consider that book under these terms, there is a strange passage in which there is a word. This word is Wormwood.

KC: Ah. Yes.

LS: And it seems that there could be a connection with strange phenomena. I’m talking about celestial phenomena. Because if I remember well, in that passage the book is telling us about a strange star which will appear and its color will be red. And its name is Wormwood. But coming back to your question, Kerry, I have never... I have no idea about what is the name in this secret agency.

KC: Okay, then can you tell us, what is the background of the Jesuit? In other words, what did he tell Barbato besides the fact that there was a planet coming?

LS: Yes. He confirmed this.

KC: Was it connected with the Third Secret of Fatima? Was it connected? Because we know that Barbato has written in the past, articles about this.

LS: Yes. Yes. To answer to your question... One of the main reasons for which the Jesuit and his colleagues DECIDED to contact Barbato was because of his articles published in the year 2000, on Stargate, the magazine (the monthly magazine, not Stargate Magazine, which is the following magazine which was published, but the former one, Stargate) in which Barbato wrote several articles about the Third Secret of Fatima, especially on the base of the researchers which are ... who are Portuguese researchers - Fina d’Armada. And the other gentleman is a historian.

And that book has a strange title, you know - Extraterrestrial Intervention at Fatima, something like this. [Note: The English title is: The Apparitions of Fatima and the UFO Phenomena.] You can find that anywhere, perhaps you want, on the Internet. And because of his articles about the Third Secret of Fatima. And, at that time, the year 2000, there was also a conference press held by the Vatican and there was the official revelation by the Vatican of the Third Secret of Fatima. And, if you read the revelation, there is a vision of a Bishop dressed in white, who dies, together with other Christians.

But, there is no sign of cataclysms, you know, problems for all the Earth. But, for example, there is a nice book, this one [takes book from shelf] written by a very famous Italian journalist. His name is Antonio Socci. He wrote the book and the title is, Quarto Segreto di Fatima, which in Italian means The Fourth Secret of Fatima. It doesn’t mean that there is the fourth secret. It’s just a play of words, but supported by strong evidence which indicate that there is a part of the secret that - maybe - was not released to the public yet. And according to this book, to the author, Antonio Socci, he found out that because of his researches, that maybe the secret written by Sister Lucia Dos Santos, was divided in two parts.

One part is the so-called VISION, which was made public, and is the official version, according to the author, released by the Vatican, in year 2000. Maybe - according to the author - there is another piece of the secret, which is still secret. And, that one would be the explanation of the vision.

KC: Okay, now the vision was of the Bishop in white...

LS: Yes.

LS: The strange thing is that Barbato did not come out with information about the Third Secret of Fatima. There is not a single word about the Third Secret of Fatima. [sighs deeply] Maybe because it was a choice made by the Jesuits. Maybe because it was a choice made by Barbato.

Anyway, according to me, in my opinion, there could be a connection between this planet, which is an intruder - which WAS an intruder in our solar system in ancient past - and now it seems is a part of our solar system, and the Third Secret of Fatima.

KC: So are you saying that you’re making the connection but the Jesuit did NOT make that connection?

LS: No. There is not a single word from Barbato, which, you know, is a link, you know. Barbato did an outstanding work before the Jesuit footage came out. But...

KC: Okay. So you’re saying this is sort of what we call a “synchronicity?” Do you understand when I say that word, “synchronicity?”

LS: Yes.

KC: It means two events that are happening...

LS: Barbato is... in my opinion, Barbato is perfectly aware, is conscious of what there is behind the Third Secret of Fatima. First of all, because...

KC: Because he knows...

LS: First of all because he studied the subject, you know.

LS: For example, this book [picks up Socci book] is very important but it does not mention Cristoforo Barbato. But for example, it mentions Malachi Martin, who was a former Jesuit, very famous in the United States of America, because of...

KC: Malachi Martin?

LS: Malachi Martin, yes.

KC: Ah, yes.

LS: He participated to the Coast to Coast talk show...

KC: Yes, absolutely.

LS: Hosted by Art Bell.

KC: Very respected.

LS: And he died in 1999.

KC: That’s right.

KC: Yes.

LS: But he did something about the Third Secret of Fatima. He was not Jesuit any more because... He worked by the Holy See, in Vatican, in the ‘60s, in the last century. He was one of the assistants of a Cardinal. So in my opinion, he had the possibility to be involved in some secret aspects of the Vatican affairs. Anyway, in that book, Antonio Socci wrote a few lines about Malachi Martin and is not too much convinced about his witnesses, about his testimony. But anyway, it’s important because it mentioned Malachi Martin in the book and it doesn’t mention Cristoforo Barbato’s researches. It mentioned Malachi Martin because of his statements made at the Coast to Coast, the Art Bell show.

KC: Uh huh.

LS: But it doesn’t mention what Malachi Martin said at Art Bell show, about something that is approaching us, according to Malachi Martin’s words. And this is a quite important point.

KC: What did Malachi Martin say was approaching us?

LS: Yes.

KC: Do you know?

LS: Yes. I remember. I have the transcript of his words. I can read it for you. But anyway...

KC: That’s okay. We can put the words on the screen...

LS: Yes, I can tell you...

KC: ...and you can tell us your version.

LS: Yes, but the main point is the building of a new telescope by the Vatican on Mount Graham, in Arizona. This is an official astronomical site held by Vatican, in collaboration with the Arizona University. The name is Vatican Advanced Technology Telescope. It is in public domain, they have a website, and the telescope has a mirror with a diameter about 1.8 meter. It’s expensive, a few million dollars.

KC: Why is that significant?

LS: Because it’s a little bit strange that you build an advanced telescope if, I mean, the main affairs of your country is keeping the faith, the Catholic faith, alive. So, the question made by Art Bell to Malachi Martin was: Why did they do this, Father?

And the answer of the former Jesuit, Malachi Martin, was the following, if I remember: Because those who are amongst the highest levels of the Vatican and the geopolitics know that what is approaching us could be of great import in the next 5 years, 10 years. Unquote. And this was said in 1997. Now we are in 2008.

But, you know, the problem is that we are facing radical climate changes. So if you give a look to the scientific articles about climate changes, there is not, you know, just one line. There are different lines. There are many scientists who say, Yes there are radical changes, the climate changes. We are guilty of this because of the pollution, because of the...

KC: Right. But they’re also saying – and, you know, we’ve interviewed David Wilcock and Richard Hoagland about this, which is - saying that the outer planets of our solar system are heating up.

LS: Yes. As a matter of fact, Richard Hoagland is the author, if I remember well, of the first article, written in 2003, about climate changes in the solar system. It was made available on his website.

LS: And, it was in 2003. One of the most important points was that during the conversation between this Deep Throat - the Jesuit from the Vatican - and Barbato, the Jesuit said to Barbato that this planet, the presumed Planet X, Nibiru, would begin... would have begun... to affect the solar system from year 2004. And this happened in year 2000 or 2001.

LS: And he used an expression that I like so much about extraterrestrial affairs, about possible extraterrestrial presence in our solar system. He said this: This story is dynamite.

I perfectly agree with him! This story is dynamite because if Nibiru DOES exist, first of all, it’s a threat to all of us because its orbit, if it is the orbit described in the ancient text in Mesopotamia, is a cometary obit. So it means that at a certain point, this planet will be close to the sun and close to the other planets. And if its mass is bigger than Earth mass, we can have a lot of problems.

Also, because of - I can imagine - this planet has a magnetic field. As a matter of fact, there are... there is a strange behavior in the solar activity. And for a strange coincidence - but I don’t believe in the coincidence - this solar cycle, the solar cycle 24, will have its peak, its maximum, in the year 2011, 2012. And this doesn’t come from me, it doesn’t come from the Jesuit, it doesn’t come from Barbato. It comes from scientific forecasts made by NASA employees.

BR: I have to ask: what did the Jesuit say in terms of hard information about this planetoid’s orbit and its size, and its nature? Whether it’s a rocky planet or a big gas giant like Saturn? Or is it...

LS: The planet was described by Zecharia Sitchin. So we have an atmosphere, and we have the possibility to have life on the surface. It’s the planet described by the Sumerians.

BR: That’s what the Jesuit said?

LS: Yes, it’s Nibiru. But, he said more about the space program that they would have... that the Vatican, by secrecy, would have. We are talking about the Siloe Space Program. The Siloe Space Program would be part of the bigger one, and its name is Kerigma. Kerigma is a Greek word. It means “proclamation, annunciation.”

KC: Ah!

LS: And also, [turning page] these two gentlemen here - of course everybody knows him, should know him - is President Dwight Eisenhower. And this gentleman here is James Francis McIntyre, the former Bishop of Los Angeles. And the Jesuit confirmed to Barbato that this gentleman was present at Muroc Airfield in February 1954 because Dwight Eisenhower wanted to have a spiritual support to take an important decision for mankind.

Because there were already rumors about this presumed meeting, occurred in February 1954, between a delegation from Earth and a presumed alien delegation from outside our world.

And the Jesuit... This is very important. For the first time we had a deep throat from the Vatican who confirmed: Yes. This meeting happened. Yes, James Francis McIntyre participated.

And moreover, the Jesuit told Barbato that later on, a few days later, James Francis McIntyre broke the rules. Because, of course, the American administration - we’re talking about the leaders who were participants of that meeting - said to the Bishop: Yes, you were present because of Dwight Eisenhower’s desire. You are not allowed to talk about this, even to the Pope.

But McIntyre took another decision, and a few days later took a flight and went to Rome, and told everything to the Pope, who was, of course, shocked. And, according to the Jesuit, this was the first reason for the creation of this presumed secret service, the Servizio Informazioni del Vaticano - SIV.

Okay, now we have another problem. Other beings from other regions of the universe are here on the Earth. This is a threat, of course, not only to humanity, but first of all, to the faith of the Christians, of the Catholics, even to the existence of the Vatican. You have to consider this problem. One of the reasons was to keep a secret service to avoid, you know, to ... [searching for words]

KC: Maintain the secrecy?

LS: No. To have the opportunity to know what other secret services abroad could learn about these creatures. This is what I understood. This is what Barbato told me. And this is what is public. The Pope was very worried. And at the same time - this is another important point - other creatures from other regions in the universe, according to the Jesuit, begin to have contact with the Vatican, with the SIV, Servizio Informazioni del Vaticano. Even a couple of meetings took place in the Vatican gardens, involved other creatures and the same Pope.

KC: Okay, but when was this?

LS: Maybe in the ‘50s. We are talking about the ‘50s.

KC: Was it after the meeting with Eisenhower?

LS: After.

KC: After.

LS: At the same time you have at least two races. According to the records, you have at least two races. One of them is the race who had the contact at Muroc Airfield, which became later Edwards Air Force Base.

And at the same time, just a few months later, you have another race, human-looking - you cannot distinguish them from us - and they had contacts with the American administration. I’m talking about the people who had the need to know.

 

(A break here ... it is also known that President Eisenhower met with off-world visitors at Holloman AFB in 1955.   Air Force 1 landed, and parked out on the runway ... two saucer shaped craft appeared, one landed right in front of Air Force 1, while the other craft hovered overhead.  Eisenhower was seen leaving his plane, and walking to the craft and entered.  This meeting took about 45 minutes.  The two craft leave, and Air Force 1 leaves)

 

LS: At the same time, they had contact with the Vatican. And those creatures said: You have to be very careful with the other creatures.

This is very important because usually, when somebody talks about the presumed meeting which occurred in February 1954, they think that those creatures were just human-looking, like us. Yes, maybe they were humanoid, but they were different.

There is at least one other race, human-looking, much more than them. And they were very worried about the secret agreement signed among the Eisenhower administration - by secrecy - with this race.

BR: Did the Jesuit say all of that to Barbato? Or is this your own summary of the situation?

LS: This is what the Jesuit told Barbato. Barbato told in the interview, and even in other...First of all, in the press release that Barbato made public in the year 2005 at the same time when there was the first meeting in which he showed the Jesuit Footage to the public. The Jesuit Footage was never given to anybody.

KC: Okay. How did the Vatican react when Barbato came forward with this story?

LS: No reaction.

KC: None?

KC: Okay. But the Jesuit - did he say anything to Barbato about this?

LS: Yes, yes, yes. He said something that became public, because in the interview it became public. In the interview that Barbato released to me, vetted to me, he said that the Jesuit told him that this extraterrestrial race which would be present on this planetoid which is approaching us according to him, are a warrior race. He may have used another word... but... The meaning is, it is a warrior race.

KC: Did he use the term “Anunnaki”?

LS: If I remember, yes. There is no doubt. He identified that race with the race which was adored in Mesopotamia thousands of years ago – the Anunnaki, which means “those who from heaven came to Earth.” There is no doubt about this, according to the Jesuit.

And this is the reason, maybe, for which this story is dynamite. Because, it not only changes our perspective of humankind in the universe, but also, if it is true, is a threat to us, because of the effect of the passage of this planet, not only because of the presence of this race in the past on this planet and their activities on Earth.

Now, I can add something else. If this planet exists, and it is the ancient planet adored by the Sumerians and the other civilization, Mesopotamia, it means that this planet came into the solar system as an intruder.

So, it means that in the very ancient past, this planet was not part of our solar system. And this could explain the strange features of our solar system. For example, think about the planet Uranus. The way he rotates and about the inclination of its axis about the ecliptic plane. He rotates like this. [demonstrates rotation out of camera view] The astronomers cannot explain why.

Another mystery is about what the Jesuit told Barbato about the nature of the Anunnaki. This is a sensitive point.

KC: What do you mean by “about the nature of the Anunnaki”?

LS: Yes. About how they look like. About their history. I mean, read for example The Lost Book of Enki, one of the most outstanding books written by Zecharia Sitchin. There are no comments by Sitchin, no comments. No, just a translation from ancient text. You read that text, and you will see that the ancient history of those gods, in Mesopotamia, is a history of wars, of Anu’s peoples, of the... You know, all the evil relationships that we had. And even, many times, you know, moments of kind... moments of generosity, kindness. Discussions, you know. Struggles. Moments of peace. Struggles /Moments of peace. You know?

KC: But, tell me something. You know Barbato has had this information from the Jesuit that he has not released.

LS: Yes. He told me this.

BR: But there are two entirely different situations here that are being described. One is the presence of a large planetary body - whatever it is - that’s coming this way, possibly causing effects on the sun, possibly causing other effects if its orbit should come near the Earth ... the problems of Earth changes, resonance effects on the Earths’ crust. All kinds of things like that. 

LS: If this race comes from another star system, they survived, maybe under the surface, and they have many outposts, maybe even in our solar system, maybe Mars, maybe, you know, on Jupiter’s satellites. And maybe, they have outposts even here on Earth, even now.

BR: In the Jesuit Footage, there’s a small object that is clearly shown. It looks like a small moon, or space craft, or...

LS: The problem is that during, you know... The frames are... You know, it’s a footage. So you are frame-by-frame. You know? We are talking about thousands and thousands of frames. But the behaviour of that object is not a behaviour of a possible satellite. Because all of a sudden, the object - the mysterious object - appears. And after a few seconds, the object disappears.

So, if the footage is real, is a real observation in deep space of a planetoid, it means that we are facing a possible space craft which is able to materialize and dematerialize. The problem is: Is it an authentic footage or a fake?

[laughs] What Barbato told us is that he checked the credential of his whistleblower, his deep throat. [speaks slowly and with emphasis] He was really a Jesuit on duty in the Vatican. This is the most ...

Listen, guys, we have different problems. One is the coming of Planet X. Another one is that other people decided to do something. In the countries of the world, we doubt the knowledge of the people. And maybe these people are responsible for the situation that we are facing NOW. Maybe - this is my point of view - maybe 9/11 is related to this.

I cannot imagine that the only reasons for which United States of America are losing so many lives of his sons, you know, young guys, soldiers, and killing civilians by chance - not by chance - and losing their reputation in front of the world ... because in the last years, after 9/11, the US administration lost so many reputation because of its decisions ... I cannot imagine that the only reasons are economics. Are, you know, taking advantage of the fuel. No. It is not possible. Of course, a lot of money, you know, this is one reason. But, you know, I’m sure that the 9/11, Planet X, and this possible structure are pieces of one big puzzle. This is my opinon.

I had a spare hour this evening, so I knocked this out for the site, setting out the implications for this paper from a Sitchinite perspective.  Many thanks to David!

 

The Free-Floating Planet Solution

It has become apparent in recent years that interstellar space contains a very large number of free-floating planets, or FFPs (unfortunately, the same acronym as Fresh Frozen Plasma, which will only serve to befuddle my health professional brain!) These FFPs are not orbiting around stars, but are plunging through the depths of inter-stellar space, and many of them are giant planets - Dark Stars using my obscure nomenclature.  Where did they come from?  Likely, they were expelled from the fledgling stellar system they first formed in, knocked out of their planetary nest by a gravitational thrust, perhaps caused by a near-miss with a neighbour, for instance.

 

Now, scientists are tying these objects up with the additional discovery of wide binary objects - massive planets, sometimes brown dwarfs, which are found orbiting their companion star at such a great distance that it seems unlikely that they could have formed at that position in the first place by the standard model of planet-formation.  They have to have got there somehow, though, and capture is now considered an increasingly likely possibility, despite the immense distances between stars.

 

It seems as though the galaxy is a lot more dynamic than astronomers first thought.  Where initially they thought all the galaxy's planets would have formed alongside their stars, and been protected by them, it is now realised that things are a lot more complex.  Planets seem to come and go, migrating out of one system and finding themselves then migrating into another.  Consequently, for the first time, astronomers have started trying to put some numbers to these events - to come up with some probabilities.  Work done by Hagai Perets of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and Thijs Kouwenhoven of the Kavli Institute for Astronomy and Astrophysics at Peking University, Beijing indicates that the chances of any star capturing an FFP is reasonable (1), and not, as previously thought, vanishingly small.

 

"In recent years several planets have been discovered at wide orbits (>100 AU) around their host stars. Theoretical studies encounter difficulties in explaining their formation and origin. Here we propose a novel scenario for the production of planetary systems at such orbits, through the dynamical recapture of free floating planets (FFPs) in dispersing stellar clusters." (2)

 

The implication is that even a star like our own Sun might have captured a massive FFP - one that, perhaps even now, might be found orbiting among the comets in the Oort Cloud.

 

Until recently, such a possibility was considered extremely far-fetched.  I remember the late Tom van Flandern railing against the idea that the planet Nibiru might have been captured by the Sun.  The possibility was statistically negligible, he argued, damning Sitchin's theory in so doing. Many other sceptics down the years, have argued the same, putting off many open-minded people from realising that the existence of a Planet X body could be a distinct possibility.  Yet, now we have a reasonable chance that such a capture scenario might indeed have happened. 

 

So what's changed?  Well, the sheer number of FFPs has surprised astronomers, which raises the likelihood of Sitchin's scenario being a real possibility. Additionally, there's also the fact that many stars - ours included, perhaps - form in stellar nurseries: hot-beds of stars popping up in clumps, like seedlings in a Spring garden that need thinning out and planting elsewhere.  That gardening metaphor seems very apt: planets can be tossed from one star to another within this dense patch during the early spring chaos.  That may create some interesting scenarios, according to new computer simulations:

 

"Because most stars are born with others, Perets and Kouwenhoven ran computer simulations to see what happens when a star cluster contains free-floating planets. If the number of free-floating planets equals the number of stars, then 3% to 6% of the stars succeed in capturing a planet, and some stars capture two or three. Most of the captured planets end up hundreds or thousands of times farther from their stars than Earth is from the sun. Furthermore, most captured planets have orbits tilted to those of native-born planets, and half the captured planets revolve around their stars backward." (3)

 

So, here we have the possibility of massive loosely-bound captured planets exhibiting retrograde orbits and tilted planes compared to their home-grown siblings. Where have we heard this before?  It sounds remarkably like the scenario proposed by Zecharia Sitchin - long before FFPs were anything other than simple blood products!  And given that many of these FFPs are Dark Stars, it seems that the scenario that has been put forward on this very website over the last 13 years is moving one step closer towards some kind of reality.  Because, as discomforting as this may be for many, the indirect evidence for the existence of another massive planet in the solar system is growing by the year, as can be noted from the various items posted in these Dark Star news pages.

I strongly suspect that many astronomers, especially younger ones, secretly have Sitchin's books stashed at home, if for nothing else, inspiration for "new" ideas for new theories. At this point they would never, never, reference him in a paper. Al C.

Right, and for a a very good reason.  If they did, someone may make a data plot like Figure 2

VULCAN IN ANCIENT DATA

And then someone might ask how the Ancient Akkadians of 4300 years ago knew about the relative mass of the Sun and the Jovian planets.

Remember, it was Newton that came up with the concept of mass in the 1687..

The only viable answer is that they were told.  Then who told them?

The only viable answer is Extra-terrestrial aliens unless someone can point to evidence of an advanced technological civilization here on Earth.

Then someone might wonder if these aliens could be a good source of other information and why there is not open recognition of them.

And that is a really embarrassing question to pose for those who hand out the salaries to our astronomers.

ET ALIENS INTERACTING WITH GOVERNMENTS

Money can easily corrupt the most competent scientist.  The only exception I know of is Sir Fred Hoyle.

"Together with disease, the next ice age ranks as the biggest danger to which we as individuals are exposed. The next Ice Age is not specific problem of the distant future. The causative agent, the strike of a giant meteorite, could happen at any time. 

He had the courage to warn us, and he was subjected to career assassination for his attempt.  His book ICE, THE ULTIMATE HUMAN CATASTROPHE  The book was written without the aid of others I think because he did not want their careers to be assassinated also.

The only problem is there certainly is evidence of an advanced race living here long long before us! The pyramids, how the crystal skulls are so highly polished, the south american aeroplane models, the asian scroll depicting a detailed diagram of a flying machine, australian cave painting of flying machines, atlantis and the list goes on.

It would be great to point the finger and say for sure that alien contact was made, but there lies one simple fact, its not clear the ancients new mass, there is no data to suggest such, but you don't need to know mass to visibly observe distant planets and see there size and this data could of been past to them from the Atlantis, if a social civilisation advanced enough could achieve manned flight, technology to machine polish the crystal skull. Possibly even know have anti gravity flight then its well within there ability to build a telescope with better imagine ability than we have. We ourselves proved we don't need to travel out there to know there relative mass size, distance and we can even guess at there colour...I certainly would love that some data 100% could verify the existence of E.T's but its not conclusive sadly

The ET Aliens shutting down nuclear ICBMs seems pretty convincing.  Those ICBM  launch officers seem to be a pretty hard nosed and credible bunch.

The Map of "The Creator"  

is the most technological thing I have seen from an ancient civilization, but it is from 120 million years ago and humans were not around then.

Noah's Ark has been found, but I trace it to alien and it is not that technological except for the titanium nodules.

I've felt for a long time that the one thing ET would not allow us to do is contaminate the earth with all the nuclear weapons and power plants we have. That would ruin the earth for all of us and who knows ETs plans for the future. Evidently they do not want to annihilate us so they let natural disasters thin the herd periodically - making sure they've saved the gene stock. Why? Well, maybe there's hope that the positive can be separated from the negative. Al C.

[semaj...@googlemail.com]

Well that maybe true, one thing is for sure, we will never find out while we thirst for war and have so many of these tools (nukes) around.
