Great, and needed, post, but this bit is slightly more complicated.

It kind of implies that perturbations of Neptune/Uranus, earlier attributed to a 'Planet X' (not Nancy's!) were explained by the accumulation of small bodies in the Kuiper Belt. In fact, perturbations of the size claimed turned out to be mis-observations as a result of the fly-bys of the Voyager probes past the Outer Planets. These allowed revision of the masses of the gas giants, which in turn have eliminated the perturbations. So there is nothing to explain.
(Of course there may be large bodies out there at sufficiently great distances - and there could even be Mars-sized objects in the Kuiper Belt, but these are not either of the Planet Xs mentioned above)
Other trivial nit-pick - evidence (including her bitterness towards him - When Kooks Collide!) suggests that Hazelwood was originally a Nancy camp-follower rather than proceeding straight from Sitchin. He just seems to have been quicker to realise the commercial opportunity TEOTWAWKI represented...
