The waxing obsession with the planet Nibiru , which conspiracy theorists say is a planet swinging in from the outskirts of our solar system that is going to crash into Earth and wipe out humanity in 2012 — or, in some opinions, 2011 — shows that an astonishing number of people "are watching YouTube videos and visiting slick websites with nothing in their skeptical toolkit," in the words of David Morrison, a planetary astronomer at NASA Ames Research Center and senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute. Morrison estimates that there are 2 million websites discussing the impending Nibiru-Earth collision. He receives, on average, five email inquiries about Nibiru every day.
The idea that doomsday will result from a planetary collision was first proposed in 1995 by Nancy Lieder, a self-described "contactee." Lieder claims she has the ability to receive messages through an implant in her brain from aliens in the Zeta Reticuli star system. On her website, ZetaTalk, she stated that she was chosen to warn mankind of an impending planetary collision which would wipe out humanity in May 2003. (When no such cataclysmic event occurred, Lieder's followers chose 2012 as the new date for the Nibiru collision, which coincides neatly with other doomsday prophecies focused on the ending of the Mayan calendar.) [Doomsday Facts (or Fictions)] Lieder originally called the bringer of doom "Planet X," and later connected it to a planet that was hypothesized to exist by a writer named Zecharia Sitchin in his book "The 12th Planet" (Harper 1976). According to Sitchin (1920-2010), the ancient Sumerians wrote about a giant planet called Nibiru — the "twelfth planet" in the solar system, after the other planets (including Pluto), the sun and moon — which has an oblong orbit that swings near Earth every 3,600 years.

In late April 1945, staff in the Fuhrer Bunker realizing they were about to die had a big orgy.
As a Christian, I think my concern will focus on the rapture rather than a planet collision.
I’m witchu bro, I ain’t gonna live forever.
I hope I am standing at ground zero when that baby comes down. I have two good middle fingers, and I know how to fly them.
Ping.
Isn’t Nibiru the first name of the Enterprise’s Lt. Uhura?
She had some great junk in the trunk, but not earth-shattering (that would be Beyonce)
Well ... something to look forward to. LOL It would sure screw up Christmas.

I can only hope the real end-day will be as depicted in the movie “2011.”
I will die laughing (and get to watch Woody Harrilson get wiped out again, which is definitely worth it).
the doomsday scenario was proposed long before 1995

terms nibiru, elenin, nemesis all make for entertaining reading

if Elenin is the object, we will know one way or the other by October! My skepticism says the science commnunity could not keep obervations of this “object” (comet?) a secret as it gets closer, too many amateur astronomers with powerful equipment, too many loose lips
Yes, they have been pushing this idea for a very long time. Each time their date fizzles, they just move it forward.
It will NEVER happen. Liberals won’t allow it.
Myself..I think man will destroy man.
It won’t come from an outside source.
These individuals are aliens from Planet X.

Women and minorities to be most affected.
These people are very serious about all this. You should check out the Zeta forums and websites. They are also big believers in the polar shift. The poles will literally shift and our globe will look completely different. They have a guide that spells out safe and unsafe locations. It’s quite interesting.
Well—there goes the Christmas retail sector...
