Is Planet X / Niburu causing comets to fall into the solar system from the Oort Cloud?

0

Recently astronomers have seen evidence of disturbances in what is called the Oort Cloud. They theorize that these disturbances could be caused by a large object, possibly even an undiscovered planet, which they dubbed Planet X. Such a planet would stay outside our solar system in the Oort Cloud, but may be responsible for comets falling into the system in a somewhat regular pattern as it knocks them out of the cloud. This Planet X could never have been in, nor fall into, the inner solar system based on what we know of gravity and orbital mechanics.
