UFO captured on SOHO coincides with crop circle prediction

UFO captured on SOHO LASCO C2
SOHO LASCO C2 image of UFO heading into the sun 

[Update 7/13/09 - UFO is a star (see below)] The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has captured satellite images of what appears to be a UFO entering into the sun after a solar flare. The flare was part of a series that had been predicted by a crop circle. The Milk Hill crop circle evolved over three stages from June 21-30. It had a coded message predicting solar activity in the form of Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) beginning on July 6/7. The UFO is not a planet and does not have the characteristics of a comet both of which are regularly captured on SOHO images. The UFO is seen moving through a solar flare that appeared on July 9 after a CME is ejected. With the large amount of interest generated in the crop circle prediction, the UFO may have been related in some way.

The LASCO C2 SOHO jpeg movie clearly shows the UFO moving towards the large solar flare and into the sun from the left or 9 O’clock position on July 9.

 

The UFO does not correspond to any planet as its trajectory makes clear. .Nor does the UFO correspond to any comet which characteristically have tails as the following image shows of comet C/2002 X5 (Kudo-Fujikawa)

 Comet Upon magnification of the UFO entering into the July 9 solar flare (see top image above), there is no tail that for a comet would be normally pointing away from the sun due to the solar wind. 

Also, no known satellite has been announced with a trajectory to crash into the sun. At this stage, the UFO is either an asteroid or an intelligently guided vehicle heading directly into the sun. If the latter, then it might qualify as a Type II extraterrestrial civilization that has sufficiently advanced technologies to work with stellar energies. Prof Michio Kaku popularized the typology of extraterrestrial civilizations first proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai Kardashev in 1964. Furthermore, if the UFO belongs to a Type II extraterrestrial civilization, it may also have sufficiently sophisticated technologies to create complex crop circles with coded predictions about solar activity. The crop circle's succesful prediction of solar activity beginning on July 6/7, does strengthen the possibility that a Type II extraterrestrial civilization was involved.

If the UFO was an asteroid, then it is an interesting coincidence that it crashes into the sun around the time of the predicted solar activity. Alternatively, the creators of the June 21-30 Milk Hill Crop Circle may have revealed themselves to SOHO for the world to see. 

[Update 7/13/09: the UFO has been identified to be a star. I have been notified by a reader that Delta Gem is the star that the object corresponds to.  The SOHO satellite captured the object in exactly the same position moving at the same speed exactly one year ago which proves it is a star since the Earth takes a year to rotate to view the same celestial sky map behind the sun. See the following SOHO movie: http://lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/daily_mpg/2008_07/080709_c2.mpg  To see the object again for earlier years go to http://sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/soho_movie_theater and load the C2 data for 2008-07-09, or 2006-07-09, or 2001-07-09... Thanks to Sungrazer for identifying the UFO as a star - Delta Gem]

    You're half correct -- it's neither a comet or a planet. It's a star. One of a couple of dozen visible in those images, all moving at exactly the same speed, in the same direction (but with varying brightnesses, of course). Specifically, I believe it is the star "Wasat" (Delta Geminorum). Any sky map software will tell you this.

    I must say that those images taken are real, I have them for 8 years and was rejected by the Vatikan and is now newly released as something new. Old information but repeatingly happens.

    Spaceships with the size of Planet Earth use the Sun as the Entry points to their own Multiverses.

    I agree, It seems clear to me that the objects (there are many of them in the video) are all stars traversing the image. They are all moving in the same direction at precisely the same speed, this includes the UFO.

    Back in 2001 Mike Murray of the UK presented a bunch of SOHO pics claiming that they were UFOs...and was roundly and convincingly debunked. While he is an image expert, the specifics of the SOHO imaging system was not considered in his analysis.

    Salla has made the same mistake.

    By not conducting careful and thorough analysis of his claims before publishing he has, again, presented unvalidated data that is of almost no value to a scientific engagement of the UFO matter.

    He also failed to personally validate the authenticity of the original crop circle and has not presented proof of his contention regarding the meaning of the symbol.

    He has also failed to acknowledge the work of others that is at the foundation of his claims.

    GOOGLE SOHO Images UFO and click on the first link titled "SOHO Hotshots for the truth about image anomalies in SOHO pics.

    Educate yourselves and learn the validated facts vs someones unvalidated opinions and know
    the truth.

    It's important to point out that the article is clearly speculative. For example, "At this stage, the UFO is either an asteroid or an intelligently guided vehicle heading directly into the sun." Ted Roe makes the error of confusing speculation for a factual statement on the object as an intelligently guided UFO. By definition, until identified, the object is a UFO. Making the case for an intelligently guided UFO does require more detailed analysis as he suggests. However, it is appropriate to speculate on facts (SOHO images) and offer possibilities for further investigation and analysis.

    Sungrazer suggests the UFO may be a star. That is possible though I have not found SOHO images of stars appearing to enter into solar flares. Alternatively, it may be nothing more than an asteroid. However, dismissing the possibility of an intelligently guided UFO based solely on earlier debunking of SOHO UFO images doesn't get very far. Debunkers have their own problems with bias and sloppy method

    I was not "suggesting" it was "may be" a star. I was stating a fact. If it is not a star then there is a previously cataloged star that has suddenly disappeared from the universe! :) Also, nothing is traveling into the flare (actually it's a CME...) -- it's just a line of sight affect. You are looking at a 2-D projected image of a 3-D system. The stars are actually far, far behind the Sun.

    It could be that famed Polish mission to the sun back in the 1970's.

    Remeber?... They were going to go at night?

    They could have got lost in the dark and are just now reaching their target.

    Sungrazer, the LASCO C2 movie has many stars flashing in the background. They are moving very quickly, i.e., flashing by, relative to objects closer to the sun. Their speeds and behavior don't match with the UFO. Here's another LASCO C2 movie that shows the behavior of stars: lasco-www.nrl.navy.mil/daily_mpg/2000_05/000514_c2.mpg Again, nothing corresponds to the UFO. Unless you can find similar behavior by stars captured by SOHO LASCO C2, then your certainty about the object being a star is still conjecture.

    Don't...And won't....

    This is the equivalent of banging your head against a brick wall. - Or speculating 'the meaning of life' for example. This is not something within our grasp whereby we can obtain a validated answer. The worst thing anyone can do though...Is allow themselves to get wrapped up in the hysteria and therby assume that simply because it has been labelled a UFO that it is extra-terrestrial.
    Lets not forget what U.F.O means eh?

    Do I have to become an Examiner to get some what Dr. Salla has been smoking? Or did he write his own scrip? It's a near-solar asteroid, of course, as it does nothing to convince us it's not an asteroid (like make a right-angle turn, speed up or slow down). And while I am astonished by many crop circles, I have yet to hear a convincing explanation of how anyone could construct one with any type of technology, other than a board and string. Has anybody thought to ask "entertainer" Uri Geller if he's taken up weaving recently?

  • Sungrazer 2 years ago

    OK, I'll bite one last time. Let's approach this from a slightly different angle.

    If I am correct, and this is indeed a star, then we should see it in the same place in the LASCO images every year (because SOHO orbits in the Sun-Earth line at L1). So do we see this "object" every July 9 in LASCO C2? (Hint: yes we do!!)
    sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/soho_movie_theater
    Load the C2 data for 2008-07-09, or 2006-07-09, or 2001-07-09... Same star, same location, same speed, same appearance. They really are just stars and that REALLY IS the star Delta Gem. Look at any basic sky map, centered on the Sun on July 9 and you will see Delta Gem in exactly the correct location.

    Thank you Sungrazer for identifying the UFO as a star - Delta Gem. I have added an update to the article to clarify what it is.

    Whether a star, or not, these are very exciting photos that need to become a lot more common for us to see them. If we could see these thinks from these different perspectives, a lot more often, I believe our perception abilities will increase. Most of us see the sky just from looking up. What these machines like SOHO are doing is giving us better vision that needs to be incorporated more into our psychie, thus expanding our dreams, imaginations, and even our thoughts. There was an extraterrestrial there, and his or her name is SOHO, flying on a mission to help save Earth, never to return, but by only images being sent back to US. What a Hottie!

    This article should be read and understood in the light of the following scripture:

    Luke 21:25-28 (NASB77)
    25 "And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves,
    26 men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
    27 "And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.
    28 "But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near."

    Salla is wrong? Well, this is nothing new. He is always wrong.
    Why? Just because he is an intelligent man writing silly things.
    Unreliable sources, pseudo-science, faked contactees, the Star gate in Irak, the meeting about UFO in the UN, the meeting of President Eisenhower with Aliens...you name it.
    He never takes a look at a sky map before writing. Science is taboo for Exopoliticians.

    Alternative: Dr. Salla knows he is wrong. It is not difficult to understand this. Exopolitics is the worst enemy of serious Ufological Research.
    Debunkers are not the problem. Fantasists are. Willingly or not, they fight against any scientific perspective of the UFO Phenomenon.
