Lets face it, It's inter galactic travelers that are just stopping over at a new gas station just found. Our Sun.
And part of the deal to use our sun to refuel is to not contact the locals, as the locals are a primitive race that are hell bent on self destruction and keeping large portions of the inhabited planet in conflict.
True as
The Destiny is fueled by plasma from stars. The ship skims over a star's photosphere and uses an array of retractable ram-scoops on the underside of the hull (located towards the rear of the ship) to scoop in plasma to recharge its power reserves. Destiny normally refuels itself from cool K- and M-spectral class stars. Surface temperatures of these stars are low enough (less than 5200 K) for the ship's energy shielding to protect the crew and the ship's vital systems. However, the ship can be manually commanded to refuel from stars as hot as O-spectral class. But such a procedure will raise internal ship temperatures beyond habitability.

When you think in terms of billions of planets in our solar system, our galaxy, which were far more advanced than us by millions of years, then it is not too difficult to imagine that many of them are here to help us with some simple fixes which will help keep life moving on our planet rather than being terminated.

It's Aliens.
All kidding aside, those of you seriously entertaining the idea that it's a deathstar/mothership/speck of dust need to google the term:
"polar crown filament cavity"
This seems to be the most reasonable explanation of the freaky cool phenomena in the vids.

Does Behind COR1 and Behind HI1 share the same camera?
This is seen on HI1

And Then
20120503_000901:
If they are not the same imaging device then we have two separate cameras observing the same event.
Therefore no lens flare, artifact, dust on the lens or blur.....
Can anyone confirm if they are separate imaging devices?
RM.
EDIT: Look at the left hand side of the image about half way down, notice the black circle appear.edit on 6-5-2012 by RocketMan0266 because: Image identification
Does Behind COR1 and Behind HI1 share the same camera?
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.
The HI-1 field of view is about 20 degrees from 3.98 - 23.98 degrees from sun center. The HI-2 field of view is about 70 degrees with about a 5 degree overlap with the HI-1 field of view. (18.68- 88.68 degrees).
