But when all you have to do is look up.....its a no brainer.
Anyone who claims there are two suns in the sky, without taking into account this simple fact, is hoaxing you.

Do you have any scientific data to back up your claim of it being in between the clouds? As much as i have with my opinion.
"Classic" as in your opinion of off-topic opinions of people you believe are "scientific". Werd.
Look you are free to have your opinions. I don't find them offensive or anything.. but i do think declaring your opinion has scientific authority is misleading.
You BELIEVE this is a lens flare. Got it.
The picture shows the flare in between the clouds and the camera. Its apparent to the observer.
However, a quick and easy way to offer up some scientific proof, is to just post this. STEREO and SDO image the sun everyday.
If there were something in front of it directly, it would be imaged. Happy?
You can look through the images yourself:
sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov...

Blue stars shine ultraviolet. So.. generally humans can't see that part of the spectrum. Meaning that kind of light is "hidden" from our un-assisted sight.. like cells and atoms.
I'm not saying there is a blue star flying behind the sun.. but if you folks want to understand what is being proposed rather than just saying "it's a lens flare" it might make sense to read what the article is saying.
It would help if you knew that a "class-o" star is anywhere from 15-90 masses of the sun. In other words, it's not showing up in our solar system unnoticed. Which lets us use the process of elimination. We get to rule it out before even having to think to hard about it!

All he/she has to do is look up and verify it.
So if someone takes a picture of hale bopp and then i look up in the sky and don't see it they are a hoaxer?

Simple question. How many suns do you see in the sky?
You know, when something isn't verifiable - like aliens, ufo's, ghosts, 911, then yes... we can speculate.
But when all you have to do is look up.....its a no brainer.

Yes, if they claimed it to be a recent picture.

you seem to be making a good attempt at being intelligent here, but it comes off like you're trying a bit too hard. If you consider that it's possible there is another sun that has joined Sol, why do we only observe one light source, why is there no increase of light intensity (obviously the habitable zone would be altered by the presence of another star), and also can you plot what you predict earths new orbit is based on the changes that obviously would have occurred when this second star seemlessly joined our own star?
Can you imagine a condition in which your statement is false? i can.

Oh. A trick question. You sneaky thing you. You didn't say anything about using a telescope.

You seem to believe that you have the ability to determine with 100% certainty that no secondary light source (that is not an imaging artifact) that could account for the image could possibly exist under any condition.
It's all speculation. How big, what is it's mass, why can't we see it all the time, why can't we determine it's effect on our solar system etc. Who knows? Maybe it's from a different dimension and has no mass here. Maybe it's an angel that looks like star when photographed? hahaha how do i know?
I for one will not accept responsibility for what might happen if other people don't see the "hoax" label on this thread.

Hey, I agree with you, I mentioned earlier in this thread that the object appears behind the cloud in the first pic too, so how can it be a lens flare then? I don't know, and I also don't know why this thread was moved to hoax when it was a legitimate report submitted to mufon?
