Space boffins who discovered Nibiru died in ‘mysterious’ circumstances, conspiracy theorists claim
One of the scientists mysteriously died at a South Pole telescope location 'shortly before he intended to publish new findings about the alien world'
CONSPIRACY theorists are claiming boffins who reportedly found evidence of Planet X died in mysterious circumstances.
It is alleged two leading stargazers were bumped off after they found out too much about the planet, known also as Nibiru.
Conspiracies suggest it is hurtling towards Earth and set to destroy us.
The bonkers claims have been made by doomsday theorist David Meade, reports .
He alleges two top astronomers found proof of Planet X and both died in mysterious circumstances.
Dr Robert Harrington, a top astronomer at the US Naval Observatory, had only just revealed his findings when he suddenly died in 1993.
In a series of outlandish claims, Dr Harrington insisted that Planet X was an “intruder planet” which was capable of supporting alien life and that it was approaching Earth.
When he died six months later the official cause of death was cancer, but theorists reject this.
Then there is Australian astrophysicist Dr Rodney Marks who is said to have died in mysterious circumstances in the South Pole in 2000.
Mr Meade said: “Have there been strange instances? Yes.
“Dr Harrington was mysteriously done away with in the 1990s before he could say anything and he was head of the naval observatory.
“Then you have the mysterious death in 2000 of an individual at the South Pole telescope, who supposedly died of alcohol poisoning.”
It is alleged by some that Dr Marks was about to publish new findings about the planet when he returned from his research station in Antarctica.
The southern hemisphere, particularly around the South Pole, is said to be the best place to see Nibiru.
But the 32-year-old Marks suddenly collapsed and died while still out there.
Test later found evidence of methanol poisoning but it was also pointed out that Marks was well stocked with booze and so would not have resorted to drinking the liquid.
There is also no sign of him wanting to take his own life.
