Planet X does exist, and it is the <http://www.zetatalk.com/science/s04.htm>12th Planet, one and the same. When first sighted via infrared readings and reported by the IRAS team in 1983, the IRAS findings were taken in many ways by the human scientists reading the reports, and thus they cast many interpretations on just what the 12th Planet's infrared reading might imply. Infrared heat can be taken to mean many things, depending on distance, size, and composition of the object being sensed. A very hot object far away can be comparable to a barely warm object near at hand, or a very large object far away can be considered to be a smaller object close at hand, and as the compression caused by the mass of an object is considered to produce infrared rays, then a very heavy but cold object could be considered comparable to a lighter but warmer object. The scientists reading the IRAS findings took the 12th Planet, a.k.a. Planet X, to be larger, colder, and farther away, as the mind does not want to comprehend the alternatives.

When first sighted in <http://www.zetatalk.com/usenet/use90191.htm>; 1983 , it was on the right hand side of Orion, as viewed from your northern hemisphere. It will first move left and up toward the elliptical plane as it nears the Earth's Solar System for its passage, as though to assume a place with the other planets in the Solar System, at this point being slightly to the left of Orion. In 1998 it will veer right, moving toward Taurus and Aries, assuming a retrograde orbit, and will come up through the plane as viewed from above the elliptical plane, in its first passage.
