If you were a betting man, you could get a wager going against Planet X showing up in 03 and do well for yourself. With only a year to fall in, it couldn't be that far out, so it would have been detected by amateurs by now, so even with a "conspiratorial" astronomical community, the news would be out. It would be the single most important topic in the astronomical community overnight, then the media would get it and eventually even the politicians would stumble upon it.

Kinda quiet out there.
