Diamonds in Sudan Meteorite 'Are Remnants of Lost Planet' (theguardian.com)
Diamonds found in a meteorite that exploded over the Nubian desert in Sudan a decade ago were formed deep inside a "lost planet" that once circled the sun in the early solar system, scientists say. From a report: Microscopic analyses of the meteorite's tiny diamonds revealed they contain compounds that are produced under intense pressure, suggesting the diamonds formed far beneath the surface of a planet. In this case, the mysterious world was calculated to be somewhere between Mercury and Mars in size. Astronomers have long hypothesised that dozens of fledgling planets, ranging in size from the moon to Mars, formed in the first 10m years of the solar system and were broken apart and repackaged in violent collisions that ultimately created the terrestrial planets that orbit the sun today.

Isn't this true for all diamonds? That's kinda how it works.
Diamonds from the planet Krypton have great value and special powers.
Remember kids, if you're not paying for the service, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT THAT IS BEING SOLD.
How long before an idiotic celebrity buys the sudan meteorite diamonds to put into a ring to demonstrate their eternal and undying love to another idiotic celebrity 2 years before the inevitable divorce?
Couldn't the meteorite just be part of the Earth that was knocked loose when a huge rock smashed into and created the moon?
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
I hope they can find this lost planet and return it to its rightful owners.
Anyone who has lost a planet within the past 4 billion years should please contact lost and found, and provide a description of the missing planet.
I'll see your senator, and I'll raise you two judges.
Krypton?

Especially when they're alien diamonds coming down in a rain of fire from the sky
Hard to call it a planet, since there is a fair chance that it might still be in one piece if it had cleared its orbit...
So I was watching one of those Babylonian Ancient Aliens videos on Youtube, to kill time, and they started talking about this extra planet in our solar system that apparently held a more advanced race and were seen as Gods according to some ancient Babylonian manuscripts / legends. Three weeks after laughing that one off I come to read this. Expect the Ancient Aliens community to go nuts :/
Could that planet be... Forbidden?
Let's just call it Bob.

I find the brilliance of our scientific community astounding, their ability to form the opinion that the planet these rocks originated from was in our solar system is an astounding break through in science, considering how large space is and how many other places these may have come from, to narrow it down to our solar system is truly amazing.
Studies show that the meteorite was aiming for Nigeria instead of Sudan, in an interplanetary effort to release a certain prince and allow him to recover his billion dollar financial empire.
It seems the email hoax is more widespread than we thought.
