Theoretical physicist James McCanney (website) appeared in the first half of Friday night's show to discuss his ideas about Planet X. While he doesn't subscribe to the notion that a rogue planet is headed this way in the next several weeks, he does believe there is evidence that extra solar objects do pass our way on occasion. McCanney theorizes that comets on elliptical orbits can gain in size as they draw in material with their electrical charge. "Hale Bopp had a nucleus the size of the moon," he said, explaining a scenario whereby comets can turn into virtual planets.

McCanney correlated his data with other sources of information such as Hopi Indian prophecy, which refers to dramatic changes associated with the passage of objects (Kachinas) in the sky. According to one interpretation he received, the "Blue Kachina" could be Hale-Bopp (1996) and this was said to be followed by the "Red Kachina" in ten years or 2006, which McCanney surmised could be Planet X.
