Haven't heard of this yet. Can you please tell me where you have heard of this? When I was very young I had a reoccurring dream. It was going out in the backyard , I think at night, and seeing a very large orange planet in the sky ....much bigger than our moon. Maybe 5 to 10 times the size of our moon. I never thought about it again until in the last couple of years when I started to hear about something called Planet X.
Kindest,

Hello, my name is Anon, in New Mexico.
There was a time last fall a very long appearing 'venus' hanging around as an 'evening star' but I saw this for many months and it did maintain stable briteness until the news said venus was supposed to be a close brite evening star at which time, that thing started to behave as a regular planet...and started moving as if it might be venus, and slowly exited the evening sky.
This week I see a star in the N by NW and I am always leery of these things.
It amy have been a Russian Cosmodrome space thing; and they do hang around out there.

Space Weather News for May 19, 2007
DON'T MISS THIS: When the sun sets tonight (Saturday, May 19th), go outside and look west. Venus and the crescent Moon will pop out of the twilight barely 1-degree apart. It's a spectacular pairing of the two brightest objects in the night sky. The display will be visible from brightly lit cities and even through thin clouds.
