Just watch this short video below and then consider the size of this thing, whatever it could be. No one still has a proper explanation, people have guessed that its a meteor that went too close, radiation being reflected, etc.
Well, whats your guess?
Massive object skips off the Sun!
The people on Fox are such idiots, good lord.

Anyway, that's some interesting footage. My guess is that it isn't anything but a sunset(rise?) playing tricks on the eyes.
"Obviousely Jesus is warming his hands. If you hadn't noticed, it's a little chilly out."
Best response.
The people on Fox are such idiots, good lord.Why do you say that? Doesn't sound any different than the giantbomb crew I know and love. Only difference here is that news anchors are in a more formal environment and can't say anything vulgar. Also it's a local station, sounds like typical news anchors to me, from what I can tell from a 33 sec. clip.

The female anchor is feigning enthusiasm and speaks as if she is trying to suppress a yawn. Not to mention all the "wait...wait...BAM's" are a little immature for a major news network.
Anyhow, my comment was more of a non sequitur than commentary on the video. Because let's face it, the people on Fox are idiots.
"Bonesofwar said:"Hopefully it lands on Handsomedead's house, assuming he owns one."
He probably lives under a bridge."
I'm sorry, Bellum. I must retract my statement. These two in sequence, win the prize.

I see your idiot Bill O'Reilly and raise you an idiot E.D. Hill.
Why is that segment of bill oreily confirming fox is idiots? when it doesn't Bill has a point a very valid point Riveria is trying to push an agenda that the story is not about this guy being an illegal alien when it was all about it, The guy came here illegally and was arrested how many times? and they never deported him last i checked commiting a crime hell just being an illegal alien and geting caught was grounds for deportation yet they never did it.
If they had deported him the first time they wouldn't be there talking bout him after 4-5 DUI arrestest hitting someone under the influence...ect and being charged with man slaughter.
"If it was behind or in front of the star then it wouldn't have changed trajectory unless the sun's magnetic force is strong enough to affect massive celestial objects moving at an incredible rate.Maybe it was behind the sun, because anything that close would have disintergrated.

Serbsta: What do you think? If it was a meteor, this is some scary shit. Thinking of the relative size of our planet, if it had hit the earth we would all be dead right now.

Yeah... I went back and watched it again. I saw the trajectory change. It looked as if it might have been in front of the Sun. Light can seem as if it's bendiing and we are seeing nothing but light.
Pretty awesome stuff and leaves me with nothing but more questions. I wish some scientist would check it out, instead of just some random news station.

No need to try to argue about it.

Still doesnt exclude the fact that Fox is extremely biased towards the right.
"Claude said:To me it looks as if it is coming from behind and changing directory. Whatever it was, there wasn't much left of it from what we can see. It could be some of the flare that gets caught by the magnetic field and follows the magnetic field up, around and back down again, which looks like something bouncing off the Sun. But even that has its down points... im stumped."If it was behind or in front of the star then it wouldn't have changed trajectory unless the sun's magnetic force is strong enough to affect massive celestial objects moving at an incredible rate.Maybe it was behind the sun, because anything that close would have disintergrated.

Looks to me like a projectile in the atmosphere creating atmospheric distortion. It just looked like it was something hitting the sun.
"This is clearly just another repercussion of our current economic situation.The economic downturn?
Seriously though I haven't been checking up on my usual science/astronomy sites and it's my first time seeing this. I'm assuming the video is sped up because not even light moves that fast. Might of been a huge meteor just burning up as it came closer to the Sun, but that doesn't explain the exit trail.. Interesting stuff."
