I explained how to eliminate the possibility of an imaging artifact (which we have here), planet, asteroid, or comet.
A "real" UFO? How should I know what a "real" UFO would look like? I've never seen one in any SOHO image.
You're kidding right?
Ok, maybe something like this?

The "object" is apparently an artifact produced by the software on the satellite.
An almost identical effect can be seen in the C3 image here:
Since the C3 image covers a much wider field of view than the C2 image and the "object" is the same apparent size in each (50 pixels across), it's clear that it is not physical object.edit on 10/11/2010 by Phage because: (no reason given)

Apparently some people still swear the Earth is flat but it's been a very long time since educated, rational people have thought such.
Yes, I actually believe our "limited science" has enabled us to learn a great deal. How to build a computer that you can place on your lap for example. How to put a satellite a million miles into space which can send us images of the Sun for example.
You're right, no one knows what a "real" UFO would look like but some know how the sensors that provide those images work and how they react to cosmic rays.

Exactly right.
It helps demonstrate that it is a sensor effect rather than an actual object. The "object" would have to be at exactly the correct distance from the camera to make it appear the same size in each image. Unlikely in the extreme.

No. No comets.
We know what it is. It is an image artifact caused by a very energetic cosmic ray striking the sensor.
