I took a quick look at the SOHO link, and no large object is on the views with a wide enough angle that looks like they would catch this object. SOHO orbits at the L1 Lagrange point which means it stays just inside the orbit of the earth, where the gravity from the earth and sun cancel each other, so the view will essentially be the same as from earth. I agree with Phage, I think we are seeing Mercury about to pass behind the sun from the vantage of the behind STEREO satellite. The two Stereo satellites are at the Lagrange points that are ahead of and trailing the earths orbits. Can't remember if they are called the L3, L4 or L4, L5 ones though. There are 5 Lagrange points in total.

well that puts some things into perspective. The other object is much larger than that. That's kind of scary.

Wow the thing then is about the size of Jupiter? I had noticed how it was a rectangle of light coming from it before, when I first found the picture. What the heck is that thing? Nibiru?
One thing for sure - if it is still around come July 22nd, it should be able to be seen during the solar eclipse.
