And why would they be grouping in front of the sun?
Surely if it was to be a surprise attack they would be smart enough to hide behind it!!

When you're that big, you don't need to hide or launch surprise attacks

Based on the sheer ignorance that is displayed by people who post videos like that, on YouTube, and cannot understand that what they are seeing is perfectly normal, caused by combinations of image flaws, spacecraft details (the Observatory spacecraft! Not, "alien" spacecraft!), etc.

Combined with some of the comments written here, in these forums.....
Reminds me of an old story written by the great Isaac Asimov, titled "Nightfall".
Fiction, of course, but set on a planet that was part of a star system with SIX suns, and thus didn't have any "night time". Except, once every five or six generations of the inhabitants lifespans.
THEN, the ignorance was so deep and utterly manic, they would panic and destroy themselves, from the fear of non-comprehension of the science, the astronomy, the motions of celestial bodies in space. AND, a bunch of quasi-religious hogwash in the mix. They would TURN on the educated ones, the scientists and astronomers, and destroy the observatories and telescopes, and devolve into chaos and anarchy....only to rebuild their civilization, forget about the "nightfall"....only to have it happen all over again, each time the planet cycled as it did. A truly tragic story of a people who could not advance their civilization, due to the extreme ignorance of the general population, and lay public.
A cautionary tale......but, how close is Humanity to being equally fear-driven by such abject ignorance???edit on 27 November 2010 by weedwhacker because: (no reason given)
