They're checking out Mercury - that must mean the Mercurians have a more interesting civilization than we do.
Or their brains taste better.

According to the techs for the telescope thingy that took the images the 'Alien Spaceship' is an artefact left on the sensor from the previous day. Hmmmm!
Anyway I hope they are right because whatever it is is about the same width as Mercury. Imagine the power it must take to cloak something that size.

An artifact from two different sensors (the updated article shows two videos)?

It's not an artifact on the sensor. It's an artifact of the image-averaging process. They take multiple images over a period of time, then overlay them to "subtract" all the static, non-moving stuff (like stars). They do this so they can focus on the parts of the image they are interested in (solar flares). However, planets, being that they move - albeit slowly in the time scales represented here - don't get subtracted properly.

Nice 
side-note: I clicked on the link and read the article right as a song started on my MP3 player, "Come in Peace" by Doubting Thomas, it's a song about aliens...

OK. That is rather freaky.
But, several things like that (Reading something, related music occurs; etc) have happened at Purdue lately. Too many to list.

I read this republished in the context of the Euro crisis - if not this time the day will come when we will be equally dismissive of our first contact.
When Inca lookouts were queried about what would turn out to be the spanish ships, they declared them no more than odd cloud formations on the horizon...

You made it to the 400K club!
EDIT ========================
I honestly don't understand why reputation points messages are voted down. I think such messages are supportive of the site and Chris' efforts towards making our participation as rewarding as possible (short of cash payments, that is).

Check his profile. He has gained over 320K on articles alone (and mostly votes/article competitions). If anything, he has more of a life than most of the folks here because he's not haunting the forums or q/a.

I was thinking of a creative way to tell him that (I still am).

I wonder if he really cares.
Just along for the ride.

We care so that he doesn't have to. IMHO, this is a magnanimous act on our part, and sainthood is in our future as a result (or at the very least, a small but prestigious statue in a place of honor).
