No offense towards Phage, seems like a decent guy but all he does is regurgitate the same info thats provided by the same agencies that many of us have come to distrust over the years.
No offense...sure.
Yeah, why listen to those who built and use the equipment.
Much better to just make stuff up. "I think it looks like a UFO. Therefore it is a UFO and NASA is lying. "I don't care how consitent the information is with the data. I don't care if I don't understand it. I won't listen (la la la)."

Everytime something comes up, they holler for Phage, knowing full well that his answers will follow along the same lines as the official answers coming from the likes of NASA or JPL (one in the same)
Having said that, why would I trust what he says, anymore than I would trust what they say?
Last time I checked, this site and its discussions,are very much focused on conspiracy related topics. So if you dislike it so much, why did you join?
Edit: I think Phage is NASAS Smarterchild Phage, what is that? Dust Speck. No, Cosmic Ray. No, its a bokeh..

SmarterChild was an intelligent agent or bot developed by New York's ActiveBuddy, Inc. It was widely distributed across global instant messaging and SMS networks. SmarterChild became very popular with over 30 million Instant Messenger "friends" on AIM (AOL) and MSN over the course of its lifetime. Founded in 2000, ActiveBuddy was the brainchild of Robert Hoffer, Timothy Kay and Peter Levitan. The idea for instant messaging bots came from Hoffer’s vision to add natural language comprehension functionality to the increasingly popular instant messaging and SMS platforms. The original implementation took shape as a word-based adventure game but quickly grew to include a wide range of database applications including instant access to news, weather, stock information, movie times, yellow pages listings, and detailed sports data, as well as a variety of tools (personal assistant, calculators, translator, etc.). These various applications were bundled into a single entity and launched as SmarterChild in 2001. SmarterChild acted as a showcase for the quick data access and possibilities for fun personalized conversation that the company planned to turn into customized, niche specific productsedit on 15-5-2012 by Juggernog because: (no reason given)edit on 15-5-2012 by Juggernog because: (no reason given)

You don't "see" cosmic rays. You only see their effects on the CCD when the impact it. Depending on the angle and intensity of the ray it will produce various artifacts in the image. What you think is "seeing it on its side" is just radiation traveling nearly parallel to the censor and inducing a charge in multiple wells in a line.
Mainly because, whenever something "fishy" happens, their explanations seem to be scripted and very narrow

It is in one frame. This one. It is a cosmic ray strike.

Still there.....
I'll be posting Star Wars one in slow motion and Star Wars Two in slow motion. you'll see when it comes out. Working on the videos now.

So..is this thing showing in more than one frame?
That would surely put to rest cosmic ray theory....
Cosmic rays: High energy particles from the solar wind, and from the galaxy as a whole, whip around the SOHO spacecraft and interact with the detectors. These produce spots and streaks on the detector ranging from a single pixel, to large streaks that span a large fraction of the image. These are most evident during a solar storm, as can be seen on this Hot Shot page, but are always present at some level. I know that some people have claimed that they've seen spacecraft-looking things that seem to be moving around, but which are obviously cosmic rays when examined by an experienced observer. People see a cosmic ray at one location in one image, and then another random cosmic ray hit nearby in the next image, and claim they're both the same thing moving between frames.
Sometimes you'll see a cosmic ray seem to persist in the web images for two or more frames. This is because we lose a certain percentage of the data coming down from the spacecraft. In LASCO such losses appear as square blocks in the image. The software which puts the images up on the web will fill in these blocks from the last good image, and if there's a cosmic ray in that block from the previous image, it will appear in this image as well. The way to check for this is to look at the raw data files, which are also available on the web through the SOHO catalog interface.
Honestly...for once I would like to hear...the words..."we don't know what it is".
NASA's vision: To reach for new heights and reveal the unknown so that what we do and learn will benefit all humankind.
