This was taken by SDO. Something passes in front of the Sun. Can't be a known planet. They would orbit horizontally. So could it be the Moon? Or a huge UFO?
The video itself is in fast forward so look for the time mark:
Here's the video:

SDO
After launch, the spacecraft was placed into an orbit around the earth with an initial perigee of about 2,500 kilometres (1,600 mi). SDO will undergo a series of orbit-raising maneuvers which will adjust its orbit until the spacecraft reaches its planned circular, geosynchronous orbit at an altitude of 36,000 kilometres (22,000 mi), at 102° W longitude, inclined at 28.5°.[18]
You've probably ignored the first two replies with their dumb speck of dust/debris comments. It's interesting to watch. I froze it quite a few times as it enters at 3pm and moves on up to 12. It's round and I don't think it's an operators thumb or anything near the lens since it's in focus and if it was near the lens and it was small it might not even register. Let's see what the other "experts" speculate/assume.

Without knowing distance from the camera, would you care to explain why you consider those comments dumb?
It could be a speck of dust close to the camera or a small rock a few feet away..
How can you say huge UFO/Planet without knowing distance??

How was my comment dumb as opposed to your comment that simply said, lets wait for an expert..
I was simply pointing out that it could be anything without knowing the distance..
I think it's your bed time...edit on 9-12-2010 by backinblack because: (no reason given)
