Sorry to burst your bubble Apollo. But it looks more like a spec or noise on the camera. Analyzing the video if you notice the center line on the movie the object stays about the same distance of that line. Meaning when the background moves it makes that object appearing like is moving. But I got give it to you, you have good eye for this kind of things :)

There is nothing to be freaked out about. If there was ever a problem with these things, the united states airforce would have launched an intercepting missle months in advanced. The airforce has a very powerful network of observations that is generally not made public. Anything the USAF has missed, Russia would provide the accurate intercept backup. All in secret of course. Even China and Japan can take care of any space threat with no problem. Technology is very good and always on guard.

The international space station even has a laser onboard that can push basketball sized rocks out of harms way, it is called -the sweeper-

Sergio: I put much consideration into camera noise. But this flickers too much, and is descending. Only the experts will know for sure.

Your right it does flickers if it is an asteroid is a big one. By the way amazing animation on the Sun spot video.

Actually the spot moves rightward relative to the cameras center line. Check yourselves pointing the mouse pointer to the cameras center line first (it is steady) and then to the object (it moves). Anyway I notice that the objects speed relative to ISON is different of that shown for asteroid EROS in the video at space.com

You can see it very clearly in this older gif

On that gif you can clearly see that stays at the same distance from the line put your mouse on it the background is what is moving.

Actually looking at the older gif there are two spots a smaller one under Apollos asteroid.

@castillo82 I am not sure what you are looking at? The object in question is moving. If you put your mouse arrow on it, the object moves away to the right.

Stak11 Im most be looking at the wrong spot I notice there is another smaller one under Apollos asteroid you can see it on the older gif you posted check it out.

Posted by castillo82 2013-11-27 17:55:08

castillo82 and stark11, there is really another smaller spot under the Apollos asteroid, and it is stationary relative to the cameras center line and mouse arrow. This smaller spot could be a camera problem.
