So today, i was gathering my fair share of crackpotness materials (i like exotic and spicy stuff) around the web, when i came across the following article :
http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.action?articleId=281474981183580 Here is the video linked to the article : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMfApSCjzZA#! I won't deny at first i had the usual "what have we got here" kind of reaction, enhanced by the fact that the size of the object as claimed in the video was just too big to fit in any theory. But i also noticed what seemed to be a nice vortex, pretty sure everyone on the list likes vortices, i came up with the idea that maybe i could find out some nice pics i could forward to the list. At first, i quickly realised EIT pics where not updated so often anymore and also that new tools appeared since the last time i checked like : http://jhelioviewer.org/ You can also access it online at : http://helioviewer.org/ Which allowed me to go straight to the point : http://helioviewer.org/?date=2012-03-12T01:24:56.000Z&imageScale=0.60511022¢erX=-631.3417332638013¢erY=934.0279554025342&imageLayers=%5BSDO,AIA,AIA,304,1,100%5D Short : http://bit.ly/xq0yrm or http://helioviewer.org/?date=2012-03-12T00:20:51.500Z&imageScale=0.60511022¢erX=-608.5996495401367¢erY=935.7626243974659&imageLayers=%5BSDO,AIA,AIA,304,1,100%5D,%5BSDO,AIA,AIA,131,1,23%5D,%5BSDO,AIA,AIA,193,1,23%5D,%5BSDO,AIA,AIA,211,1,28%5D Short: http://bit.ly/xJHOlE As you can see there seems to be some kind of rectangular shaped object in the middle of the screen. I won't speculate on what this is, make your own observations and decide by yourself. Still there are a few things you might want to consider, like for something to be visible at this (whatever it is) distance (if it is located inside the CME) it would have to be crazy scaled (nowhere near what was proposed in the previously linked article but still ...) , then you need to solve the classic problems of gravity, radiations, magnetic fields, hot plasmas dancing around to consider if this is really the place you would pick if you want to go on a spring break. Homemade exclusive zoomed short movies for the vortex : http://dl.free.fr/vmoSiCOjq (753375 bytes) or http://dl.free.fr/a3F0JYgTn (17773142 bytes) I quickly fired Celestia to see if for some reason a known object could be located in the path at this time but i did not saw anything relevant. Cherry pick, check out the lower left corner CME : http://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/assets/img/browse/2012/03/12/20120312_012957_2048_0304.jpg Can nasa invoke the CCD default on this one ? This cloak really needs to be fixed, being spotted by a cme like that, what where they (dr/)th inking ? (hot plasma sounds good). Zer.
