Well, this is very coincidental timing to Planet X's expected arrival and to it's colour description. So hmmmm, what do you think? Is this true about lunar eclipses appearing this way...reddish, orange, cooper glow?

I'd suggest reading some back issues of Sky & Telescope magazine or Astronomy
magazine dealing with prior total lunar eclipses. You'll find they all mention the
reddish, coppery glow. A list of dates of past lunar eclipses can be found
here.
Magazines from the months of the total eclipses will contain descriptions of what to
expect, and issues from a few months later will contain pictures.
(And for those readers who haven't seen the
Eclipse web site, it's
worth a look. Lots of information on upcoming solar and lunar eclipses, and lists of
solar eclipses from 1999BC to AD 4000 (!) and lunar eclipses from 1999 BC to AD
3000.)
