It depends on the exact definition of a planet. 2003 UB313 is a an object that is out past Pluto, AND it is bigger than Pluto (and yes 2003 UB313 orbits the Sun).
In September, the IAU will give the exact definition of a planet. At this time, our solar system could officially have more planets, or it could have less.
Some people don't think Pluto should be classified as a planet, and many say that if Pluto was discovered today, it wouldn't be classified as a planet. But if Pluto remains a planet, it is likely 2003 UB313 will become our tenth planet.

I am a science junkie especially about outer space and I have seen and heard on tv that there seems to be something pulling on pluto. They don't know if it is another planet that we might have or a large piece of something or even another solar system.

Well, the jury is still out on whether pluto is actually a planet or a large asteroid from the Kuiper belt. It is not nice and round like the other planets, and kind of looks like a big rock.

according to the space station that we have on Pluto, there are no other planets in this solar system

There is more, there's the Kuiper Belt, with objects maybe larger than Pluto, then there's the Oort Cloud... but probably no Jupiter sized planets, if that's what you mean, at least, in orbit around our star.

There are more planets, but not in this solar system. No more, at least, that we're aware of.

My work shows me how everything has relevance to everything else.
No energy travels further than 16 (need to read my work to understand) so I wonder if this relevance even tells us how many planets there are?
There is something in it, just not quite figured it out yet but I will if just allow the answer to come to me rather than look for the answers
