As of the last picture...it looks like 2 plasma shots, from the movie "Independence Day". I won't go to sleep, here, in Hungary till I don't see what has happened. It's very spooky, indeed!

If this object was going to hit the sun, it probably would have shown up in the "ahead" satellite photos by now. Also, the fact that it sometimes seems to have a "Z" shape may be because the light source is "between" pixels and leaves a distorting effect, but that is just a guess.

When this thread started, I didn't really know what to make of it, but after reviewing the photos and educating myself over the last couple of days, I believe it is just Mercury. My thanks to Phage for posting reasoned and patient comments and replies, as opposed to the cheap condescending insults that some people rely on.

So, this object, if it's not Mercury, is supposed to hit the sun at 1 am EDT [5 am GMT]? Now, that's gotta be either a big object or highly resistant to heat because, from what I remember about the sun, pretty much everything vaporizes in the corona before it gets close to the sun's surface.

Sorry to come into this thread late and ask such a question, but... could someone link the picture (the links in the OP are broken, for me at least) and tell me where to look in that particular picture please?

Theres nothing on soho..... please somone pointing out where this crap is at. I see particularly one person posting images i cant find.
