Earth-sized spheres in vicinity of Sun?

A YouTuber has posted a video showing some images he pulled from NASA's website from their recent SOHO images that show several Earth-sized spheres near the Sun's corona. What are they? Why are the images now gone from NASA's website?

According to the video description, "these huge spherical [objects] started appearing around January 18, 2010. They are on both the forward and rear images taken by NASA's Stereo Spacecraft in space. They appear to be moving as they are in different positions on many photos. ...If they were planets or some type of huge asteroid comets, they would already have been pulled into the sun by the strong gravity the sun produces as in the case of the recent comet."

Adding to the mystery, the images became inaccessible today.  "Nasa removed the photos. I saw the photos on their site yesterday. ? Very strange!" -- aurayon 

Some speculate that the images seem to be a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy in Luke 21:5 "And there shall be signs in the sun."

In a spirit of humor, we might speculate that perhaps they could be solar-energy-harvesting modules by some advanced extraterrestrial civilizations unseen (surely with cloaking capability to hide their presence from backward humans) -- or perhaps a breed of ET's that need that much heat to thrive.   Matt Imber speculates: "Maybe they are here to help and prevent the mass coronal ejections or gravimetric energy from being so bad during the alignment."

See the video for yourself:

 In a related story, Alfred Webre writes:

"In a quantum physics solution to the mystery of the giant solar UFOs, physicist Nassim Haramein, whom this reporter knows, states in a video-taped analysis (below) that Earth-sized UFOs are in fact giant extraterrestrial or interdimensional spacecraft, which are accessing our solar system, using the Sun as a black-hole singularity, or star gate.  Mr. Haramein contends that NASA Stereo data of giant solar UFOs prove that extraterrestrial civilizations access our solar system via a star gate on the Sun when using large (Earth-size) vehicle spacecraft."

NASA spokesman, Bernhard Fleck, Ph.D., ESA and SOHO Project Scientist, gives a much less titillating explanation.  In phone interview with Linda Moulton Howe of Earthfiles.com on January 26, 2010 he said:

"Cosmic rays leave white dots or short trails in our SOHO images all the time, even though we have software that is supposed to help clean up the images. Cosmic rays are high energy particles from the solar wind, and from the galaxy as a whole, that whip around the SOHO spacecraft and interact with the detectors. These produce spots and streaks on the detector ranging from a single pixel, to large streaks that span a large fraction of the image. These are most evident during a solar storm, but are always present at some level. The software which puts the images up on the web will fill in these blocks from the last good image, and if there's a cosmic ray in that block from the previous image, it will appear in this image as well. The way to check for this is to look at the raw data files, which are also available on the web through the SOHO catalog interface."

As I poked around, it became apparent that the SOHO portion of the NASA website is presently down and is likely to be recovered soon; and these particular images have not been targeted.  No suppression going on here, just a technical glitch -- like the spheres on the images?

    The signs in the sun, moon and stars, as related in the passage at Luke 21:25-8 involve the heavens being shaken, the heavenly bodies out of place. The Sun, Moon, and stars are at this time, showing themselves to be moving erratically. How much of this is related to our present earth wobble is open to conjecture. But there is MUCH proof that Luke 21:25-28 is in fulfillment at this time.

    I would expect shadow cast by object going outwards the sun however the shadow seems somewhat perpendicular to the imaginable beam from the center of the sun.

  • Tuhan Sayang Kami 2 years ago

    Please click on Bible Prophecy at Bibleuniverse dotcom; Scroll down to and click on "Sun Turned Into Darkness," "Moon Turned Into Blood," and "Stars Fall From Heaven" for further clarification on these endtime signs. Note: These signs were fulfilled in 1780 and 1833, respectively.

  • lol 2 years ago

    I love how many crazies and biblical nutjobs stories like these bring out. How would Luke know that in the future we're going to develop satellites that watch the sun? These aren't visible from Earth.

  • MW 2 years ago

    Did you even look at the photos and find the "raw data files" that the NASA spokesperson is referring to?

    "No suppression going on here, just a technical glitch -- like the spheres on the images"

    Those raw files are the modified versions.

    Mystery solved? No it isn't, chump.

  • observer 2 years ago

    Just to add to this story... During the last full moon here, approx 2 weeks ago I took a picture of the moon and there are two objects in the image that bare a striking similarity to these objects. I didn't notice them on the cameras preview screen, when uploaded to the computer they literally jumped off the screen. Now perhaps there is dirt on the lens, perhaps not, the similarities are striking.

  • Randolph 2 years ago

    Since this is happening all the time, then logically, noone should have noticed anything unusual. According to Bernad Fleck, these optical disparities are always there by their very nature. Are they? I have have many pics on the sun throughout the years on my PC. I'm still looking for the same spheres. Did NASA downgrade their equipment?

  • Larry Olson 2 years ago

    OK Look at the lighting on the sphere. Main light source at 9 o'clock secondary light source at 3 and the sun at 5...... Hmmmmm

  • EN 2 years ago

    Ahhh, I love when the biblical nut jobs come out of the woodwork.

  • NEAT 2 years ago

  • Luke 2 years ago

    The lighting is wrong. This guys a nutjob and faked the video. NASA would love the publicity of reporting something like this (if it actually happened). Religious people should be embarrassed by people like this assh*le.

  • RW 2 years ago

    Has anyone notice that the way the "spheres" are illuminated doesn't fit their position relative to the Sun? Come on there has to be a explanation better then UFO's or prophesy.

    Quote from the STERIO Website:

    "Wondering what those odd sphere-like features are in recent STEREO EUVI images?
    Date – January 27, 2010

    We have investigated, and determined that these are artifacts caused by an interaction between the high compression factors used for the beacon data, and cosmic ray events on the detector. Our discussion of image artifacts has been updated to include this phenomenon. Another factor which has contributed to this issue has been the recent delay in receiving the full resolution images from the spacecraft. This was caused by a server problem at the Deep Space Network, and has now been resolved."

    Also, as to why the images were supposedly removed:

    "images on the STEREO Science Center browse tool will always be beacon images. These are replaced with the full-quality versions as they become available, generally about 2-3 days later.

    Beacon images can always be recognized by having the character "7" near the end of the filename, e.g. "n7euA"

  • Doug 2 years ago

    Until it's IDed what the objects are Unidentified Flying Object remains appropriate. The end has been prophicised many times in the NT to occur in the prophets lifetime or soon after, but we are still here. No doubt there is an end to the reality as we know it. I'm not sure faith, nor science can tell us when and how.

  • Doug 2 years ago

    "Sun Turned Into Darkness," "Moon Turned Into Blood". Come on give us a break. Chances are that event occurred multiple times before Joel was to have spoke those words, and he was aware of it. Pretty safe making deceptive prophecies if you aren't going to be around to be held accountable. In the event the Lord did come in 1790 and again in 1833, history failed to record the events.

  • Mike 2 years ago

    The guy speaking on the video had got at least one thinground his neck.

    He says that anything that close to the sun would fall into it (due to sun's gravity). Not if it is in a stable orbit.

    If anyone is in doubt about read upabout the maths of "orbits" (Google or Wikpedia would help I think.)

  • jay b 2 years ago

    I believe BUT there's no sign of reflection from any kind of sphere as it is so close to the Sun. Unless the photo is reversed I don't think that is a UFO it's a photo of a meteor passing. Those pics are taken at intervals so who knows.. the light is not right

  • Matt Imber 2 years ago

    For a lot of folks reading this, it may be a shock to discover what is going on & are looking for vital information, but don’t know where to go to learn the truth, knowing the lies from NASA and our “government” (puppets of the NSA & Fed Reserve), who've stolen trillions from us, kept free energy from us for over 70 years, etc. Check out YouTube Channel for Project Camelot, & watch the Richard C Hoagland videos, Bob Dean & David Wilcock videos. Also, watch all National Disclosure Project videos & visit the Orion Project to involve yourself politically. Concerning the UFOs around the sun, it’s all speculation, but isn’t fun to speculate? Maybe these are a giant pico-wave dampening network of ships and planetoids, and will help Earth through the transition upon us from the dark rift alignment. The polar shift may still occur, but maybe these ships are here to lessen the effects from pico waves, but now the earth must be cleansed by water, and will let this occur. Only time will tell.

    Stupid conspiracy theorists. Critical thinking skills have been hijacked by the virus of weak mindedness which has caused the disease known as stupidity. These are optical allusions from video compression from earlier footage super imposed on recent footage. GROW UP

    I suppose all u ppl who think this is all silly and a hoax are the same ppl who think men armed with boxcutters managed to convert the twin towers from solid to dust in less than the time a building would take to fall under gravity.
    Wake up ppl

  • Dan 2 years ago

    One question... Exactly why did NASA pull the photos if they are not real?

  • Anonymous 1 month ago

    Sounds like everyone saying "Wake up conspirator theist", don't even realize that NASA is still trying to figure out even what makes the star hotter on corona than on surface.they are hundred years from even trying to chew on these anomalys. Glitches, that was easy!
