Buhaha
Least I got a member to ATS.........
Works every time.

Don't go by the shapes you see. the bright visible object is not "all planet", but is instead the glare produced by the planet, and that glare could have odd shapes, as described in this excerpt from the STEREO website
Bakeouts are a normal and essential part of maintaining the accuracy and sensitivity of an on-orbit spectrometer. Even small amounts of contamination sitting on the chip can reduce the measured solar signal. Heating up the CCDs drives the contaminants off the CCDs and reduces the effect.
To see a Venus Transit, you have to do it today.[June 5th, 2012]
After that, it's gone. In fact, no one now alive on this third rock from the sun will ever see one again. Maybe your grandkids or their children will see one when the planets align the next time - in 2117 and 2125.

^ Look at that heat shield. Or some type of shield. It's obviously experiencing friction.
There is no friction in space.
Does friction exist in deep space? Yes, when two surfaces rub together in outer space, there will be friction. Friction is a surface effect and doesn't depend upon there being air. There is also a force like air resistance from the very sparse gas in space, but it will be very, very small, since space is a very good vacuum.

That wouldn't happen with Mercury.

The pressure and density in the corona is much, much lower than in Earth's atmosphere.

Now it has 2 heat shields? Receiving friction from both sides?

No it's not a planet are you serious?
It wouldn't give off light like that. It's not reflecting light it's actually illuminating it's own.

This picture is towards the end of the Video. After the passing.

This is why I don't think it's a planet.
Look how small the object was when it was almost in the middle of Cor2 and the sun..
^ WHY SO SMALL? WHY THE CHANGE OF SIZE IF IT'S A PLANET?
Not only that, OP I'd like to make it aware to you that we miss nearly a day in your video.
The jump is from 27-29. We do not see 11/28/12. When the object is directly in the middle.
It takes Mercury 88 days to rotate around the sun.
It's not Mercury.

The light source is definately the sun. If freeze from from the time the object gets into view till it is vertical with the sun, you can draw a straight line from the sun to the object and that line will follow the magnitude of light in the object.
Also, this object is not any where near the sun. I say this because its path is perfectly horizontal. If it was near the sun, the path would be elliptical due to gravity. If it was an object with a power source, it would need to vary its acceloration drastically to say on that particular path and we don't really see that large of a variance in its velocity.
If I had to guess, I would say something small and transparant near the camera.edit on 11-12-2012 by 1plusXisto7billion because: (no reason given)

Well you must have some thoughts on what it is then if not a planet. What do you think it is ?

It's something.
I'm not speculating.
