Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual says, ‘The concept of a Planet X is a cornerstone of Zcharia Sitchin’s ancient astronaut theories. After studying ancient Sumerian texts he concluded that the planet Nibiru exists beyond Neptune and visits our part of the Solar System every 3,600 years.

‘He claims that Nibiru collided with a planet called Tiamat that was situated between Mars and Jupiter. The result was the creation of the asteroid belt and planet Earth.’

‘Nibiru is populated by the Anunnaki, an advanced humanoid race, who visited Earth thousands of years to mine gold in Africa. As an outcome of needing workers to carry out these mining operations they used genetics to create Homo Sapians.’

‘This is a well thought-out theory based on ancient texts, but most of it cannot be proved and the concept of a planet on such a large ellipital orbit around our Sun doesn’t fit with
our current scientific understanding of the Solar System.’

‘Nonetheless the popularity of these type of ideas makes it certain that every new discovery by our spaceships will be be minutely studied for any evidence of Nibiru, or any other similar body that might be populated by extraterrestrials.’
