Isn't there a massive elephant in the room, which seems so obvious that it's been totally overlooked?
The 'thing' is in front of the sun (a very shiny star) but the 'thing' is totally illuminated for the viewer... It should be in shadow. The only conclusion I can think of is that it is very close to the observer/camera and illuminated by its source, or reflected sunlight.
It's not a spaceship. Perhaps an ice crystal on the lens?

Streetcap1 is a notorious hoaxing machine who keeps churning out hoax after hoax after hoax.
He is listed in this thread as one.
I recommend that anyone should check that thread before starting any thread in the ufo/alien forum.
The image in the OP to me looks like a bunch of keys on a key ring

Here's a link to my own thread
Collage & Link List Of Extreme Size Objects Near The Sun
www.abovetopsecret.com...
In the thread I made a list of 10 such websites claiming what you found.
I can't tell personally if many of these things are real or not. I imagine that maybe one of the first ones were genuine then all of the sudden the frauders got on board as a new hobby. I think they should install cameras to observe the sun that record it 24 hours a day that way if anything real does appear we will not have missed it.

We really don't have any kind of satellite/probe monitoring the only thing (the sun) keeping us alive?
If not-we need it.

with the sun having a surface temp of around 5000 degrees C and and a core temp of around 17 million degrees , I doubt anything is using it as a stargate.
you can't use something as a blackhole if it isn't a black hole.
On those two facts alone , Haramiens theories are laughable..

Could very well be, I suppose. Although I have to ask...wouldn't being that close to the sun melt any ice in or on this thing?

Apologies if already posted, but I did not see it anywhere. I usually dump all over these things, but this one at least *looks* interesting. Artifact? Hoax? Mis-identification? What do you think?
"Prolific UFO hunter Streetcap1 claims he has detected in a recent LASCO C3 photo, a massive UFO with an intricate articulated design near our sun.
The photograph was captured by the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) satellite in halo orbit around the Sun-Earth L1 gravitational balance point from where it transmits to Earth a continuous stream of near-real-time data about solar activity used to predict space weather in the vicinity of the sun.
The alleged massive UFO, about the size of the moon, has a complex articulated design suggestive of a sophisticated craft built by a very advanced extraterrestrial technological civilization."
"Scott Waring, editor of UFO Sightings Daily, observes that the crystal-like shape of the object is unlike natural objects or space rocks."
Sorry about the lack of pics, but I can't seem to get them to C&P.

I saw the source was the inquisitr and read no further. They have as much credibility as BIN and the examiner.

The device taking the picture is the SOHO satellite, which is very close to Earth. Not even remotely close enough to the sun to melt ice without an atmosphere.

Yes, streetcap1 is a CGI artist who inserts things into NASA footage to get Youtube hits. Usually if you look at the original imagery from the source (NASA) his CGI's do not appear in it. He is also prone to exaggerating common things like ice crystals reflect light, cosmic ray hits, even the Moon in a recent case of ISS footage, as being "mysterious alien craft".
By the way anyone who still thinks NASA covers up mysterious things in imagery by blurring it out in a most amateur way need only look at the fact that we have a real life mystery at Ceres which the whole world knows about because the images were released and their mysterious nature talked about by NASA scientists at a press conference Monday.

We call that "hand waving" and it is not a valid argument. The pic is legit and is on the legit NASA website. The only question is what the pic is actually showing us.

The temperature in space is about -270C...in the "shade" and around 120C (250F) in Sun light...

However, there is very little probability that there is any ice or indeed water in any form on that lens. Even if some small amount made it into space on the lens, it would have "boiled" off during the length of the deployment so far.
The probability that that is cosmic rays is 1 chance in 51 billion... cosmic rays do not end in a "shower" of particles...a cosmic ray is a single sub-atomic particle, typically a proton, sometimes an electron. But always only one. If that image was made by cosmic rays it was multiple. The probability above is for two cosmic rays...

I'll agree with that. The pic is probably legit, but I wouldn't put much stock in the veracity of the Inquisitor's interpretation of what is happening.
