On 20 October 2016, a video appeared on YouTube with a claim that it was video from the International Space Station showing a strange, four-armed craft. The video is extremely grainy, and nothing about it offers any way to ascertain the location, time or date it was spotted, or by whom. The YouTube page that originally up this video is populated with grainy, vague videos that are supposedly space phenomena, like a gun on Mars, or buildings on the moon's surface. The post, though dubious in its origin, was picked up by conspiracy theory blogs like Disclose.tv: (SOHO is short for the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft, tasked by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration with studying the sun.) While the video shows almost nothing except a blurred image followed by a blue screen — all of which could have easily been created with a toy and rudimentary video-making skills — dubious blogs and conspiracy-minded people have circulated the story along with the claim that this object has been seen before, but NASA is trying hide it: If the object has appeared before, and if there are alien spacecraft using the sun as an interstellar freeway overpass, it seems unlikely that anyone would be able to cover it up. It also defies reason that NASA's own equipment is picking up images of extraterrestrial spacecraft and distributing those images on a platform that the public is easily able to access — but that the agency is denying it. The video can be seen here:
