What stories does Phaeton appear in besides Ocean? Whoever that wrote "many stories" section should have added them.

-I recall that Stranger in a Strange Land mentions a nameless fifth planet being destroyed, so I shall add it. If anyone with better memory than I can disprove it, by all means do so. -Anonymous Idiot

It does indeed. Many thanks. Mrwuggs 20:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moved Sitchin stuff...

I moved Sitchin's stuff from the intro down to the bottom. I believe that this article should deal first with the Phaeton hypothesis, then explore and mention similar theories, recalling that Olbers theorized on Phaeton centuries before Sumerian cuneiform was even deciphered and Sitchin first proposed his theories of Nibiru and Tiamat. Sound good? TuckerResearch 00:16, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging with Phaeton Fifth planet (hypothetical)

  • Disagree with merger. Phaethon has a storied history in the "hypothetical fifth planet" field. TuckerResearch 04:10, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge, the same topic. гык 17:01, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Pheaton is related to the "hypothetical fifth planet" and has a huge part to play in it.
