Wait til we discover the launchpads in the geologic record.
I have it on good authority that the dinosaurs didn’t go extinct, they predicted the Chicxulub collision and escaped the Earth on arks. Of course they realized that their warm blooded servitor species would survive the impact and evolve sentience much like their own (they created our genomes, so it was easy to predict), so they hid the launchpads until we would be ready to see them.
The arks landed on Planet 9 (the big one, not the lil one), since it was less likely to be hit by similar events. They hollowed it out, helping to create Pluto and Ceres, and have been living in there ever since.
Discovering the launchpads will show them that we’ve achieved sufficient technological prowess for them to reveal themselves to us. I can’t wait!
As a subscriber to /c/insanepeoplefacebook it took me a couple paragraphs to figure out if you were serious.
Took the words right out of my mouth.
It’s going to be glorious.

Idk how to feel about Jerusalem Post links. I was going to comment about how the article is devoid of any details, and then I read the last line: they use GenAI to help write their articles.
The evidence is like a million textbooks from 30 years ago that all say there are 9 planets. Pretty convenient.
That’s good enough for the AI.
I never supported the discrimination against Pluto and all the mobbing calling it names like “dwarf” and saying that he is too small. It’s just disgusting how mean people can be sometimes. Want a ninth planet? I’m in team Pluto!
If you accept Pluto, you have to accept at least half a dozen trans-Neptunian objects as well as the asteroid Ceres, in which case planet nine already exists and would be Neptune. Well, most of the time anyway. Sometimes Pluto passes inside Neptune’s orbit.
Or maybe you’d like to consider Triton, Neptune’s retrograde moon as a planet as well, on account of how it was probably a dwarf planet in its own right until Neptune plucked it out of its orbit. Once a planet, always a planet, right? Neptune even tried to do the same to Pluto which is why it has such a weird orbit.
Be team dwarf planet. Lots of new friends outside the regular eight, and Pluto’s a founder member.
Yet no planet to be found! And they’ve looked. I propose a micro black hole instead, much harder to spot with similar gravitational influences
