Clouds of debris are not planets. We have similar "clouds" of Trojan asteroids preceding and following Jupiter in orbit in our solar system. I can't give credence to the idea that this cloud 370 light years away was once a planet or will 'coalesce" into one. It is reasonable to hypothesize that Trojan points everywhere in solar systems will have asteroids and debris. This is evidence for that, not any more.
