Apparently he retired from ULLLLAL and teaches at Arkansas now. LINK

Though scientists have been looking for Planet X for 100 years, the possibility that it’s real got a big boost recently when researchers from Caltech inferred its existence based on orbital anomalies seen in objects in the Kuiper Belt, a disc-shaped region of comets and other larger bodies beyond Neptune. If the Caltech researchers are correct, Planet X is about 10 times the mass of Earth and could currently be up to 1,000 times more distant from the sun

Whitmire and his colleague, John Matese, first published research on the connection between Planet X and mass extinctions in the journal Nature in 1985 while working as astrophysicists at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. Their work was featured in a 1985 Time magazine cover story titled, “Did Comets Kill the Dinosaurs? A Bold New Theory About Mass Extinctions.”

The Post says he is a "top space scientist" so there's that.

I had no idea UL had such a world-renowned space program. Who knew?

I don't get the science behind this. Supposedly we found this planet due to its gravitational pull on other objects but then we are saying that it will knock asteroids out of a belt instead of pulling them into itself as gravity would normally do.
