Planet X Researcher Solrion Dies

Robertino "Rob" Solrion, approximately 68, has died. (Thisinformation first reached me ~ thanks to Tom Ritchford ~ on February15th, and I communicated this news to others I know then. I am postingan update today due to the amazing coincidence of the mediaannouncement of the search for another planet in our solar systemcoming on the same date as Rob's death news...from a Lafayettelocation.)

As Fox News noted on February 16, 2011,

"A duo of planetary astronomers grabbed media attention by claiming aplanet four times the size of Jupiter may be lurking in the outersolar system. They call the planet Tyche.

"The claim by John Matese and Daniel Whitmire of the University ofLousiana-Lafayette is not new: They have been making a case for Tychesince 1999, suggesting that the giant planet's presence in a far-flungregion of solar system called the Oort cloud would explain the unusualorbital paths of some comets that originate there.

"'There's evidence that some Oort cloud comets display orbitalpeculiarities,' Matese said. 'We're saying that perhaps the pattern is

indicative that there's a planet there.'"

Intriguingly, as this news was coming forth, it was learned that oneof the foremost researchers on Planet X has died.

Here's what is known about Rob, a frequent correspondent of many, andfriend of the Forteana list, from his own website. (More info will beadded later when details about his passing come forth.)

Rob was born and educated in Texas. He was a 1964 Phi Beta Kappagraduate of the University of Texas at Austin, majoring in Russian andminoring in French. He joined the Peace Corps that same year and wasassigned to Massaua, Eritrea (then a part of the Empire of Ethiopia),

where he taught English, science and mathematics at the local highschool.

Subsequently he attended the Foreign Service Institute in Washington,D.C., and was assigned to the Refugee Program in South Vietnam duringthe war. Fluent in both French and Vietnamese, Rob also served as atranslator for the U.S. Embassy in Saigon. He has studied a number ofother foreign languages, has graduate credits in linguistics from UCLAand has widely travelled across 50 countries in North America, Europe,Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

Rob became interested in "catastrophism and ancient history" in 1972and avidly pursued the ideas of Dr. Immanuel Velikovsky. He became a

part of the so-called "Velikovskian School" as propounded by theformer KRONOS Journal. Following the death of Dr. Velikovsky inNovember 1979, this "school" fractured into smaller, often rivalgroups. After a hiatus from 1980 through 1993, during which time heworked as a professional photographer and writer, Rob becamefascinated by the books of Zecharia Sitchin concerning Planet XNibiru. His original website was uploaded in 1996, after he had madethe assumption, now shared by many, that the "cosmic cataclysm"described by Dr. Velikovsky was caused by the "comet-planet" of Mr.Sitchin. Subsequently Rob developed his theory of "The Cosmic Tree" by

integrating both these men's ideas with those of Giorgio de Santillanaand Hertha von Dechend in Hamlet's Mill. Rob's theory of "The CosmicTree" is unique and has not been explored by other researchers on theInternet.

In June 2003, Rob was interviewed for the video Planet X Nibiru -Assessing The Science.

Rob Solrion was also one of the world's leading authorities on thelife and times of Apollonius of Tyana.

Rob wrote Apollonius of Tyana and The Shroud of Turin in 2005. Heearlier wrote Osiris, Isis & Planet X: Chasing the Centuries andPlanet X Nibiru: Slow-Motion Doomsday.

Jacques Vallee (with Tracy Torm) wrote a sad but interestingbook, "Fastwalker." One part of the premise is that there is genuineweirdness going on, real high strangeness. But at the same timesomebody, for some reason, is creating counterfeit weirdness,counterfeit high strangeness, that is hard to tell apart from the realthing.

Solrion must be smiling in the afterlife, seeing the Planet Xnews and news of his passing creating a kind of harmony. Somehow.
