From http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Project_Serpo

"Project Serpo is a science fiction fantasy launched as though true onto several UFO-oriented web forums starting in November 2005. Gullible UFO "researchers" such as Bill Ryan, Kerry Cassidy and Linda Moulton Howe[1] were totally bamboozled by this fiction. Author Len Kasten swallowed the story so completely that he wrote a book about it[2]. As late as August 2016 the yarn was re-told as true on the overnight radio show Coast to Coast AM, when Kasten was a guest[3]."

I remember being into this when it came out. I was also TBM then. Serpo is the 21st century BoM. It appeals to a certain group of gullible people using a fantastic mix of pop culture. Spoiler alert: It is physically impossible for planet Serpo to exist as described. A habitable planet cannot orbit binary stars. Holy wooden submarines, Batman.

Project Serpo still has followers among the coast-to-coast-AM crowd. No, it's not true. Some guy wrote a fictional book and passed it off as a true story so it would sell. Seems like like old times.
