As an astronomer, married to an astronomer who's principal work has been an all sky survey and catalog, and being acquainted with many, many extremely capable amateur astronomers with high end gear and an obsession with hunting for and capturing images and data of near solar system objects, I am positive a planet sized object due to arrive in a year would be well known and well documented. It would not be possible to keep this a secret.

Like the Fermi Paradox, we have the Trump(tm) Paradox - "If aliens were real, Trump would have tweeted about them already". This, of course, leads to the Trump(tm) Paradox-Paradox, "If Trump says it, it's not true." Then, the super-secret Trump(tm) Paradox-Paradox-Paradox that says, "Aliens ARE real and all alien activity is subject to a 10-50% tariff (can be paid in the preferred currency of your home planet depending on the exchange rate)."
