Looks like a Klingon battle ship...

Great thread from yourself as always!

If you look at many of those images you will see that things like that appears many times with exactly the same shape and size, so, probably, they are just a sensor created artifact.

Would it be possible to educate us rather than posting a general attack on the OP and all those members who are interested in such phenomenon?

Please, present some details about SOHO images which may be pertinent here and remember that courtesy is mandatory;

I would expect the same from a moderator. Your concern for my sheer vs shear word error in your post had nothing to do with courtesy, but rather it made you feel good to take me down a peg in public. You can come on here and say you did it out of "courtesy" but that is a joke. If you were into courtesy, you would have U2U'd me the off topic portion of your response so, as a good moderator should, you would protect thread continuity.

......rather than posting a general attack


Far from an attack, but if using such language allows you to rationalize the general lack of real moderation around this place then so be it. Selective enforcement of the T&C is all the rage within the last 4-6 months. Since this is now off topic (even though I am responding to something you posted off topic, which you could have U2U'd me if you were worried about the thread continuity like a proper moderator would), you can selectively call it so and warn or post ban me, but by doing that you ignore the thousands of other off-topic posts in this forum alone.

Would it be possible to educate us {and} all those members who are interested in such phenomenon?


I contend that they have no intention of learning about the hard science behind SOHO instrumentation, the Sun's magnetic field, make up, and how it relates to image data or they already would have. The information is out there, and as much as the OP pollutes this board with uninformed threads stemmed from nothing but a fantastical desire to see what he desperately wants to believe, one can assume he has no desire to actually understand anything or he would have by now. The information is out there, to expect me to come in here and educate is not right, it is up to the OP to give us something other than his mis-interpreted SOHO images mixed with his ignorance of how things work.

Please, present some details about SOHO images which may be pertinent here


The details that pertain to the posted images from SOHO are complicated, and can't be boiled down to one or two sentences that everyone can understand. And that is why it is so easy to point at a couple of glitches in video or photos and claim they are a "fleet of UFO's" (pardon me while I laugh out loud for a moment after typing that.....o.k. I'm done) I always find that the more knowledge one needs to understand what they are really looking at, the easier it is to proclaim it is what it is not.

Maybe someone around here that is reading this knows how to strip out the technical stuff that causes this type of image and relate it in a manner the average UFO believer that sees things in rocks, clouds, shadows, Saturn's rings, and pictures of the sun will understand.

His hostility is besides the point. There are always a handful of anomalous "objects" on each and every single SOHO image. Especially when they're recording a solar outburst:

www.esa.int...

If you take screenshots of the last 2 seconds of footage, right after the noise is gone, you're obviously going to see things. Not to mention how closely they resemble the supposed "cigar shaped" crafts.

Just a quick glance through the gallery and you'll not find a single image that someone wouldn't find to be odd.



This is one of the relatively "cleaner" images.

CCD created artifacts? Of course not! They're the same model and there must be hundreds of them!

Cheers!

Straight from the link within my last post:


The data was very badly degraded from about 08:30 CET on 23 November 2001 through approximately 10:30 CET on 24 November 2001 as a result of the solar proton storm associated with X-ray flares that erupted on 22 November 2001 and the shock originating from the Coronal Mass Ejection.


It appears that the equipment (amazingly) is sensitive to exactly what it's supposed to be monitoring:

Solar activity.

As we all know, the sun is always up to something. Thus, noise which can show as any geometrical shape should be prevalent close to 100% of the time. This is why some people do not find these objects to be all that interesting, in fact, some of us find it hindering to a certain degree.

Isn't it amazing that we have people like you on board who spew nothing but dribble to show off your command over the English language? You my dear man have not produced even an iota of evidence to the contrary. Do you understand the complete gamut of SOHO imagery acquisition, identification and analyses? Do you know how CCD cameras acquire images and synthesize them into visible formats?

Therefore, if you don’t want to make a fool of yourself, and look ignorant in the extreme, then why don’t you educate all the posters here whom you contend are illiterate, uneducated and ignorant? You’ll do the UFO community and many others here a favor if you do that here and now.

I am aware that there are a number of images from SOHO that are nothing but CCD glitches and can easily be explained. Others are anomalies that are difficult to explain. So why don’t you attempt an explanation in detail what the objects are in the opening post, instead of making a fool of yourself by indulging in rhetorical verbosity, which is a blatant attempt to show your non existent superior intellectual qualities by whamming the images with no accompanying explanations of what they might be.

Cheers! Have a nice day!

What do you think, in your opinion, those images represent?

It's NEVER a matter of opinion, when you talk about LASCO images.
Yes, if you ask me i can say that what i see is a triangle, sometimes i've seen cylinders, squares and others odd shapes. But what we see here is NOT an ordinary photograph: after reading something about SOHO (more than something i'd say), i realized that there are too many things to know about it before making statements (IMHO).
For this reason i never comment this stuff: simply because every statement made by me about it could be BS.
I'm only able to gather original images and other documentation no longer available on the public interface, but i'm untrained about SOHO stuff, or, better, not trained as much as i would like to be.

Since 1998, SOHO has imaged some rather remarkable events that defy explanation. It is the purpose of this chapter to present some of these remarkable pictures and let them speak for themselves.

It is worth noting that the SOHO cameras do record a lot of anomalous objects and events that are explainable and not so mysterious. However, there are numerous pictures of bizarre objects and anomalies that defy explanation. In 1998 when these anomalies began to be posted on the SOHO website the SOHO team explained away the anomalies as simply glitches in the camera or computer systems. Later, independent researchers began to investigate for themselves and found the explanations to be untenable.

The SOHO team began to receive public criticism from others in the scientific community who claimed that many of the anomalies could not be explained as mere glitches in the systems or as debris from the spacecraft (such as nuts and bolts). Finally in the late spring Joe Gurman, one of 2000 one of the SOHO team members e-mailed a statement to the editor of CyberspaceOrbit.com that some of the anomalies that were not debris from the spacecraft.

The chief explanation offered consistently by the SOHO team until this spring was that all of the anomalies were simply solar particles hitting the SOHO CCD camera lens and creating a brief spike of light that formed a glitch.

Some researchers, such as Colonel Ervin provide an explanation as to why certain anomalies are not glitches or by-products of solar activity.
