Several online news sources, including Fox News, Daily Mail of UK, are reporting a metallic, jointed spaceship with a gigantic extension being spotted close to the sun in a new NASA image.

This image was taken by a camera on board NASA’s Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) on Tuesday, April 24.

Unimpressed NASA scientists at United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) dismissed the image as merely a collection of streaks left by cosmic rays, charged particles from space, which whizzed through the camera’s sensor, or CCD, as the image was taken.

The watcher community is also cautious about this heavenly body. While some have suggested that it could be part of the coming Great Delusion of 2 Thessolonian 2:10-12, some simply dismissed it as an insignificant non-flying object, apparently not worthy to be mentioned as end-times material. But whatever it is, the object somehow manages to withstand the blazing heat thrown off by solar flare activity and the incredibly high temperatures emanating from nuclear fusion generated on the surface of the sun.
