That was an email rumor about Mars.
Take a look at this site:

Thats not true. Mars will be almost be closer to Earth than it ever was. It was closer a few years ago. Mars will still only be visible as only a bright point of light, not as big as the moon as some idiots suggest.

No... that's just a rumor and it was about Mars. Not going to happen... Never ever.

I don't see how a neighboring planet could do that. Maybe they meant a comet.
