A widely shared curious video showing some strange activity around the surface of the sun has caught the imagination of space-watchers and alien enthusiasts.
When heavy filters blocking out the fiery brightness were applied to captured footage of the sun YouTube user Sunsflare suggested that he had spotted a mysterious floating object connecting to the surface of the sun, seemingly connected by a long cord.
Could this be an alien ship stopping off to refuel by stealing some of our mighty sun's energy? The equivilent of a galactic stop off at the petrol station? Or is this some kind of essence-sucking Death Star attempting to destroy our solar system? Well, perhaps not.
Scientists have said that this simply shows a regular but interesting phenomenon of coronal cavity where there has been an erruption from the sun's surface. Spoilsports. We know the REAL truth.
