Tenth Planet Discovered

Bigger than Pluto, way far out in the Kuiper belt (which Tom Van Flandern points out is probably the remains of one or more exploded planets, like the asteroid belt). Dips way beneath the ecliptic at a crazy angle. Is it a planet, a Kuiper belt object, or a giant comet?

Velikovskians would say this the kind of object that occasionally wanders into the middle of the solar system, has its orbit circularized somehow, and becomes a new planet, but not before wreaking havoc throughout the solar system ... the Velikovskians say Venus is such a former giant comet, which supposedly settled into its present orbit just a few thousand years ago.

Could something like that actually happen? Well, leaving aside the issue of circularizing an elliptical orbit, looking at this new planet's crazy, comet-like orbit gives me the eerie feeling of being haunted by Velikovsky's ghost. Wild speculation dept.: could a Van Flandern style planetary explosion have caused a Velikovskian style catastrophe? Although we don't like to mention them in the same breath (mainly to avoid conflating the two), there is some overlap. They focus on many of the same anomalies.
