Scientists spotted two of most distant objects found in our solar system
One of them may be a super Earth, according to the Swedish-led studies
Their speed and brightness suggest the objects are unlikely to be stars
The studies have already drawn scepticism from other astronomers who say they are likely to be something known as super-cool brown dwarfs

The paper has yet to be peer reviewed, but it presents some interesting conjecture. Our solar system may be far more interesting than thought.

I read reports about this, too, some days ago. Some do speculate one of them could be a brown dwarf star.

It was also discussed in yesterday's news report on Suspicious Observer, where they do - rightfully - point out that this is NOT Nibiru (because that's what a lot of people will start claiming) because these objects are in a regular orbit around the Sun, and not 'approaching'.

There has been speculation of undiscovered super-Earths in our solar system before.

Though I'm not sure if this may be the same one.

Now if some 'aliens' told us about any Mars size or larger objects lurking in the outer solar system and we were actually able to confirm it then that would be very exciting news indeed.

Maybe the probe that just passed Pluto can capture some images. I find it unlikely, but it is a thought.
