Nibiru Cataclysm

RecordOBS-0622
CategoryExtraterrestrial/UFOs
StatusDEBUNKED
SummaryThe Nibiru cataclysm is a prediction that a large planet or brown dwarf called Nibiru (or Planet X) would collide with or pass near Earth, causing catastrophic destruction. This was often linked to the 2012 phenomenon. Astronomers have found no evidence for such a planet in the outer solar system.
OriginThe modern version originated in the 1970s with Zecharia Sitchin's interpretations of Sumerian mythology, and was later popularized by Nancy Lieder in the 1990s and 2000s.
Claimed
  • A hidden planet called Nibiru is on a collision course with Earth.
  • Nibiru's approach would cause pole shifts, earthquakes, and tsunamis.
  • NASA is covering up the existence of Nibiru.
Evidence / consensusAstronomers have conducted extensive sky surveys and found no object matching Nibiru's description. The claim is considered pseudoscience with no observational support.
> OBSERVER NOTE:
Another phantom planet. The orbit required would be unstable and visible for decades. No such object exists in any survey.
