wait til i get home and show you my new video. it mimicks the one on front page. second sun visible from 1pm-2pm roughly here on east coast. showed people at work and they said, "oh my gosh, you are right". its close.. sun setting south now. big events soon.
I looked right after you posted this. The Sun was still a bit above the horizon, and I saw nothing else. If it was visible at 1:00 to 2:00 near the Sun, then it also would have been visible near the Sun later (and earlier, for that matter).
Where could it have gone so quickly?

exactly!
im willing to bet the next video will be from youtube.....or before its news

Well, in fairness, it could be a real video made by GameKeeper, but his video (like most of the others) may end up just being lens flare or a reflection. I suppose we'll see.

It's going by Mars, but not one person but you can see it? We were walking back from the mall around two, and guess what? Only one sun.

If you think a cloud of ionized particles is going to "ignite" a brown dwarf...........
First, stars don't "ignite". The are not pieces of firewood, and do not need a spark to light up.
They are massive balls of gas, mostly made of hydrogen. When enough mass is there it provides enough pressure, along with a extremely high temperature, it will initiate fusion at the core.
So if you want to make a Brown dwarf "ignite" the only way that will happen is if you add a LOT more mass to it.
How much more? Average mass for a brown dwarf is around 15 Jupiter masses. Minimum mass to have a star with sustained fusion is: 75 Jupiter masses.

Well...now I have no suns
It's not even dark yet, just no sun either.
I did look for the brightest spot in the sky, behind some clouds there's a little bit of brightness left.
The little bright spot is in the west, if my phone's compass is working right
All is still normal.
as Our Sun has been eating up Comets and other Objects within the last decade ..
This might mean that the Solar System could enter the million-degree Local Bubble cloud as early as the next century. "Nothing unusual, the Sun frequently traverses various clouds of interstellar gas during its galactic journey," comments Grzedzielski. Such clouds are of very low density, much lower than the best vacuum obtained in Earth labs. Once in, the heliosphere will reform and may shrink a little, the level of cosmic radiation entering the magnetosphere may rise a bit, but nothing more. "Perhaps future generations will have to learn how to better harden their space hardware against stronger radiation," suggests Grzedzielski.

ohh Boy did i say make a Star Like Ours ? NO..
Ignite Maybe as you said Hydrogen LOL
But Put Fuel to the Fire !!

Ribbon at Edge of Our Solar System: Will the Sun Enter a Million-Degree Cloud of Interstellar Gas?
ScienceDaily (May 24, 2010) — Is the Sun going to enter a million-degree galactic cloud of interstellar gas soon?

This isn't anything new...our sun has been doing this for around 4.6b years now
Also, regarding the article you posted...there isn't anything to fear:
This might mean that the Solar System could enter the million-degree Local Bubble cloud as early as the next century.

"Perhaps future generations will have to learn how to better harden their space hardware against stronger radiation," suggests Grzedzielski.
As they correctly state, the density of those clouds is so low, they don't pose a threat. Not the first time our sun crosses a cloud like that...it's been around "for a while"edit on 16-11-2012 by MrXYZ because: (no reason given)

right !! been doing this 4.6 B years , but with the last decade it has been incressing since man put up the SOHO
