On
January 21, 2004, Unknowncountry.com published a story
about a strange object that appeared near the sun in an
image taken by NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.
The object was dismissed by NASA first as a system artifact,
then as a star or space debris. Now, almost exactly a
year later, another such object has appeared in a new
SOHO image. This one has somewhat more of the appearance
of a system artifact, but it is also the only one we have
observed since last January that is not obviously a star,
an artifact, or some other natural occurrence.
The January, 2004 object had faint lighted
material moving between itself and the sun. This one seems
to have a string of solar matter moving between it and
the sun. Normal system artifacts do not show these additional
phenomena.
Both of these objects might have perfectly
ordinary natural explanations, but it is worth noting
that the two appeared a year apart. There are a number
of repeating UFOs in the world, the most notable being
the Camarillo UFO in California, which has made appearances
each thanksgiving for eight years. The larger version
of the SOHO image is seen below.
