Object near the Sun, seems to be heading toward the Sun

Isn't there a spacecraft called Dawn to go around the sun at some time,not sure when though.
S&F for trippinon2012 for jogging the memory.

Really interesting and thanks for posting the link for me it worked just fine.

I really wish I knew more about this stuff and that being said it is keeping me from coming to any conclusion because I simply just do not know what they mean, what their wording means, what the process is and all that good stuff.

But it does seem odd, but anything un known or new seems odd or strange so it will be really interesting to see others input on the meaning behind these plans and so on.

Anyway, great find! and thanks for posting it!

I haven't checked this topic since yesterday so.. what was it? Turn out to just be Mercury? If so where are the photos from SOHO of the last time Mercury was that close to the sun?

I thought the sun would be larger than that or mercury was smaller. Gosh only 570 times.

This is the current position of Dawn,

NASA mentioned DAWN on that list of activities. In regards to DAWN, it says: "vesta arrival" in Aug. 2011, "vesta departure" in May 2012, then (like I said earlier) nothing until Feb. 2015 "ceres arrival" and Jul. 2015 "end of nominal mission."

Isn't there some theory that sun spots are where the ships come in and out of wormholes?

So there is a thread of 4 sunspots in a line

and an object moving towards the sun

and crop circles, perhaps about July 7th

and We love dates like 7/7 on earth...

excuse me, I'm just going to stock up on chocolate... brb....

I'm not claiming to be right but I have to ask.

(Just assuming here) Assuming this is really planet X or Nibiru wouldn't we have noticed it before it reached the point we see as it has an elliptical orbit?

Also from the original pictures it was mentioned that it is moving. If that is the case, according to the planet X theory, wouldn't this object be moving a lot faster than predicted and thought to for planet X?
Or am I missing something?

The STEREO coronagraphs are designed to look at the faint solar corona. Planets, on the other hand, are very bright and tend to saturate in the detectors. Because of this, they generally end up looking much larger than they really are, and are often surrounded by lens flare effects. This is particularly true for COR2, which is much more sensitive than COR1.

Here is Mercury a little over a year ago. Because Mercury has a relatively highly inclined orbit (7º) and the STEREO satellite does not stay right on the ecliptic, it was "above" the Sun on this pass.

Here it is a few days later after it rounded the Sun

I wanted to throw this out there...

We have been paying attention to the images from 'STEREO Behind Satellite Coronagraph-2', where our "mystery" object first appeared @ 10:08 on 7-1-09.


I wanted to share the pics which we haven't been discussing which show some big changes as well.

These images are being taken by a 'Heliospheric Imager' Attached to the same satellite, and is an image of the RIGHT side of the sun. You will find it on the main page, it is the far right-bottom image on the web page:
stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov...

The images above are shown in the order of the relative positions of the three viewpoints, Behind, Earth, and Ahead.For the Heliospheric Imager (HI) images below, the order is reversed to reflect the fact that the HI Ahead telescopes look to the left of the Sun, and those on Behind look to the right. Also, the HI images are not rotated to put solar north up.

To me it appears that our mystery object appeared on THESE photos before it even showed up on the COR2. I wanted to post one, image from each of the last 7 days:

Ah something that makes sense!
I guess I'll worry about nibiru some other day, tonight I'll sleep.

I'm with you Phage and thank you!

Good questions...here's my answers:

1. In 1983, World News put out an article stating NASA did indeed find something out there, hence the "Planet X" theory. There was also another article in 1994, speaking of the fact that "the energy cloud" was moving closer. Nothing legit in between. (Theories as to why only two articles have been written vary-my opinion is that "they" can't say too much-world chaos and all that)

2. Type into a search engine-yahoo or google, whichever-"Planet X" and "July 2009"-just like that, with the quotes. You will find LOTS of websites stating that it will first be seen in July 2009, and these are not recent videos and articles-people have been saying this for years.

3. It is widely known in the scientific/astronomic community that there is a force in the solar system agitating all the planets and sun, including ours. They are all out of whack and doing various things they shouldn't be doing, hence our 2005 hurricane season, which, by the way, should have been the mildest season of the sun's 11 year cycle, but in fact, was the most active we've seen in over 154 years. That year we broke every hurricane record but one (most 5's, largest number of hurricanes, etc.) They-NASA, astronomers, physicists, etc-all know and have known that something is up there messing with the order of things, but "they" also know they can keep it quiet until it is visible...and that time is now.

4. Let's pretend like astronomers have known for the last 15 years that something big is heading straight for our sun...what are they going to do? Alert the world? Stop reading this post, close your eyes, and really try and imagine what would happen, really think about it. Riots, shootings, world-wide chaos, killing for supplies, shortages on those supplies from people stocking up, lootings, and I won't even BEGIN to get into what that would do to our precious economy (eyeroll) which has already tanked. They CAN"T say anything.

5. In the last few years;
1980- The Solar Maximum Mission (monitored solar activity)
1990- NASA-ESA Ulysses (focused on different parts of the solar spectrum)
1995- SOHO (watches out for solar flares, etc)
1998- TRACE (monitors sun spots and the magnetic structure)
2002- RHESSI (provides x-rays and gamma-ray images of the sun)
2003- SORCE (watches solar effects on the Earth's atmosphere)
2006- STEREO (3-D views of the sun and large solar flares)
2006- Yokoh Satellire B (records solar events in detail)
2008- NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (studies solar events impact on Earth)

...just to name a few. I don't know about you, but it appears to me that THEY KNOW.

And for anybody who wants to link a few things together, check this out:

Everyone is worried about the swine flu vaccines being forced upon us, but I have a theory about that, too....My husband and I agree that the government LOVES the alien/space craft theories, because that only helps them to hide different things they're doing military wise. What if...just maybe...they are going to use the "swine flu" scare - NOT to force us to vaccine or other negative ideas - but to prepare for the impending 2012 scenarios....Why??
1. The Obama Admin. and the Senate are trying to get FEMA and Northcon merged with our military. Most of the things I read regarding this are people freaking out because "it's another way for big brother to interfere, watch us, etc." but could it be that they know #'s going down and they really are trying to prepare? Since when do we deal with national disasters by using our military? Ummm....never!
2. Obama Admin. is trying to pass a bill to fine people not carrying health insurance, over $1000 just for an individual. (yahoo cover page story right now)
Could it be that they are using the swine flu to their advantage, not for NWO, but to start preparing for another disaster?

The other things I wanted to mention that go with my theory of "Swine flu/covering up 2012" are:

-The FEMA coffins...
-FEMA camps
-Underground tunnels in Colorado (I drove thru in 2004. We drove for miles and miles and miles and there was NOTHING to see - no houses, buildings, people, NOTHING....except for air conditioning units. Yep, just air conditioning units, sticking up out of the ground, and one lone army tank hidden behind some bushes. I made my husband turn around and we drove back because he didn't believe me when I told him I had just seen a tank. I should have bet him a back massage or something good, because I was right-of course!)


Everyone just assumes when they hear anything regarding FEMA, etc. that it must pertain to the swine flu, and that helps the government hide what they're really doing...preparing for another disaster.

Just my crazy theory, anyway.

You do have some very valid points. However, wouldn't some amateur astronomers have caught something other than lens flares and the like?

I'm not saying the MSM would tell us because they wouldn't. They would lose the control they have if they did. But I think it would have been noticed before.


I too have done my research with Nibiru, Annunaki and the Sumerians and such but who knows. Part of me hopes it is and part of me hopes it isn't.

The only problem is that there seems to be so many different seemingly plausible reasons or theories. Time will tell and I'll stick with mercury until something else happens...

reply to post by N3krostatic


Maybe people HAVE caught it on film, pic, video, ect....but if you've already made up your mind it is bogus, then any time you see proof you will call it a lens flare in a willfully-ignorant sort of fashion.

People, stop scaring yourselves!
This is my first post on this forum. While reading this thread yesterday, I was also a little anxious - but hey - you are SCARING yourselves without reason here!

I did a little research, and it shows that Mercury passed the sun back in both 2008 and 2007 as well - and the OBJECT was as big and glowing as now, this time... so RELAX! It's Mercury, for the last time

Now - Above Total Stupidity is to be uneducated and project your own fear to others. I suggest that you keep spreading the words of what you think of our governments instead - and quit worrying about "external and outworldish dangers" - because... usually... there's nothing to it... or if there really IS an catastrophic threat from outer space - we would most likely not survive it anyway.

Think of it. And relax.

Here, take a look at today's picture:
stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov...

While you're at it, take a look at 2008, same thing:
stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov...

Then the next day - REAL BIG OBJECT this time too, look at the archives:
stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov...

Then go back to 2007:
stereo-ssc.nascom.nasa.gov...



YOU SEE? DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY!

It just seems unrealistically big... that's all.

To sum it all up, for once and for all:

THE OBJECT YOU SEE HERE IS MERCURY.
And by the way - Nibiru is real. But don't worry about that either... just get away from the coast - get into the woods, be safe there - don't mind bringing gas masks and food. There is fortunately no great risks at once (in december 2012) - the real extreme consequences will unfold first in the spring of 2013... then it will last for almost a half year... and then we will hopefully recover.

About the underground bases... yes, they are real indeed. But don't worry too much about these "FEMA camps" - it's exaggerated - no totalitarian state will be installed if we know how to keep our freedom!

The future is great - don't fall into depression and exhaustion of your souls and minds! Because we are all One - and still so divided - that if you fall into apathy and depression, guess what? You will become more disposable to be terrorized by this trauma...

The problem is that you like this, right? It's action, it drives your adrenaline levels far up - and you all like this fear, just like watching a god damn horror movie! YOU ARE ADDICTED TO YOUR OWN FEAR, AND YOU HAVE LEARNED TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT IT!

So, once and for all - release yourselves - BE FREE!
Never stop engaging against state-sponsored terror!
And of course, never stop CARING for one and each other!
But care also for YOU, for yourself, and your mental health!
Right - be suspicious, be curious, be sceptical and combine it with belief... but be critical also to yourself and your belief...

ONCE AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN, ONCE AGAIN:

THIS IS MERCURY...
Have a nice weekend all of you and enjoy your summer!

i just sent a question to NASA's Astrobiologist...once i have a reply i will post his answer...normally it shall not take that long

still no reply from Nasa

they always anserwed me in the range of 24hrs

reply to post by fask1


now that you say that....

can we have an official word on what the hell this object actually is?
