By The Interstellar HousewifeBack in 2001-2003 when everyone was screaming about Nibiru, I was caught up in the new Mars photos of the Cydonea region, waiting to see if that damn mound was a friggin' face or not. It wasn't, in the end (though Hoagland certainly stood his ground for a bit).
Outwardly, these seemed like two fairly separate camps -- Camp A. being those people in to new martian photos and hopeful of data showing traces of microbial life, if not photos of some extinct civilization and Camp B consisting of those who were proponents of a rogue planet (Nibiru wormwood, X, etc), and it's impact (ha!) on our history and/or creation. But somehow, these groups began to connect, along with a few other 'fringe' groups, by a modest (though significant) number of Internet para-junkies.
Oh, it wasn't a natural connection, to be sure. It required a bit of -- um, leniency. And manipulation. Personally, I never bought into half of the stuff flying around at the time. I did entertain the Nibiru idea, briefly, because some of it seemed plausible enough - but only up until the part were it was a hollow planet that played home-world to a race of beings called the Annunaki, who just could not get enough gold!
