Zecharia Sitchin, scholar and author of The Twelfth Planet and the Earth Chronicles series, presents his interpretation of ancient Sumerian texts describing an additional planet in our solar system called Nibiru. He explains that Sumerian records detail a celestial collision billions of years ago between Nibiru and a planet once located between Mars and Jupiter, with one half becoming the asteroid belt and the other half becoming Earth. Nibiru orbits the sun every 3,600 years in a retrograde direction.
Art Bell asks about the recently discovered Comet Hale-Bopp, which shares several characteristics with Nibiru including a retrograde orbit, an estimated return period near 3,600 years, and its appearance from the constellation Sagittarius. Sitchin considers Hale-Bopp not Nibiru itself but potentially a harbinger, noting that Nibiru should be three to four times the size of Earth. He discusses how the Anunnaki, meaning "those who from heaven to Earth came," used genetic engineering to create modern humans from early hominids roughly 270,000 years ago.
Sitchin addresses the UFO phenomenon, suggesting current sightings represent android emissaries rather than the Anunnaki themselves, and warns that overpopulation and human evil may determine whether advanced beings choose to assist or abandon humanity when Nibiru eventually returns.
