UFO hang out

 NASA's STEREO spacecraft caught a wave of electronically charged material shooting out from the sun and hitting Mercury.  The weird thing is what else was hanging out in the area.  A planet sized cloaked object was seen in a video caught by STEREOs on board camera. 

"It's cylindrical on either side and has a shape in the middle. It definitely looks like a ship to me, and very obviously, it's cloaked," says YouTube a YouTube user whose video has a couple thousand views. And anybody can see there is something there whether you want to believe the UFO explanation or not.

Whats the scientific explanation?  "Head NRL group scientist Russ Howard and lead ground systems engineer Nathan Rich say the mysterious object is in fact Mercury itself. And what we're seeing in the footage is the equivalent of Mercury's wake, "where the planet was on the previous day," as it travels through the solar system on its natural gravitational path."

What's so great about a video like this is that nobody knows for sure, you have the liberty to choose a side or create your own explanation for the unknown object.

  1. Tilmon, by calling it a "planet sized cloaked object," you endorse this anonymous YouTube guy's random theory, which is a lot less plausible than the scientific explanation.

    Also, saying "nobody knows for sure" isn't being quite honest. It implies that all explanations are equally valid, which they aren't. If I said, "Why, that looks like Tilmon up there!" and formulated a theory that you were able to visit Mercury at will, would that be just as valid as the NASA explanation?

    Also, a quote within a quote needs to be punctuated with 'single quotes,' not "double quotes."

  2. Also, "hangout" as a noun is one word.
