I read that we could fit all the planets in the solar system in the distance between the Earth and the Moon. What is the breakdown of what would happen if a Jupiter sized planet suddenly appeared in between us and the Moon? How fast would everything fall apart?

I have two more videos that may help. This was taken around 7:45pm yesterday evening. I have second video I’ll be posting in the comments section. The position is West. I am in the Colbert, Ga area of the US. I started noticing this “star” 2 years ago. Anyone know what it is?

If we detect an object at the Kuiper belt near Neptune traveling 38,000mph, and it's on course to pass close to Earth, how long would it take from detection to passing close?

The Milky Way is faintly there I think. I couldn't see it naked eye due to the wing lights
