Yes sir I have a question there is a lot of chatter out there corrrelating crop circles since 1980 to Niburu arriving visible by the sun on Nov 7 2015, and entering our magnetic field 30 days later, then passing ,what are your thoughts on this????
Does that crop circles indicated that in 2015 nibiru would appear in our neibourhood?
