    Seriously? I think it's just an issue with the lens of the camera. Are these your photos?

    ..not my photos no.. they came from 3 different sources...

    I dont think a lens problem explains it... apart from the fact that they seem to be very clear and defined sphere like objects, (as opposed to light glare) - the 3rd link shows a reflection of the object on the water, alongside the sun's reflection.

    Maybe its planet x....

    Planet x? I really don't think so. Assuming we run with your theory - that it's a planet, it would either be huge (and by huge we're talking gas giant big here, or very close to the earth (with an orbit between that of the earth and the sun) ...which would make it very unlikely not to have been picked up before, what with eclipses' and satellite telescopes and what not.

    I'm keeping an open mind on it at the moment - there are those who believe that planet x has been incoming for some time and has been shielded from our view. Hence I have also posted this in the conspiracy theories forum.

    But if it aint a planet or a lens issue (which I do not believe, as previously stated) then what in the befookin bejayzus is it??

    To be honest - you can pretty much scrap the planet x theory. If there is another planet, you can be sure it won't turn up in a orbit between us and the sun.

    Maybe it is Venus or perhaps it is a man-made satellite.

    here's another

    http://s46.photobucket.com/albums/f120/sageteas/Sun%20photo/?sc=1&multi=1&addtype=local&media=image

    the one on the left looks good when you enlarge it. Perhaps it is venus alright,

    look at the third link from the original 3 posted, it shows a reflection of the object on the water - hard to believe thats photoshopped....

    Its venus , the morning star , not usually this clear but thats what it is , nice pictures of it , they tend to be rare enough as its quite difficult to get , there is an 8 year cycle to it I believe and this makes it hard to get pictures.

    By the way venus is not a STAR... it's a planet and impossible to seen beside the brightness of our sun wheather it be morning noon or evening.

    Okay , this is how it works , if you plot out the positions of venus as it appears in relation to the sun in the morning , over the course of a complete cycle ( I think its eight years , could be 4 , im not sure ) it traces out a five pointed star around the sun ,
    Kind of like a pentagram with the sun in the middle , thats why the pentagram is associated with venus and why Venus is sometimes called the "Morning Star " , its clearest in the morning , invisible for most of the day, and sometimes visible at sunset , at parts of its cycle it rises before the sun and is easily the brightest thing in the sky.

    Also at sunset , and at sunrise , due to the angles and the atmosphere , things become magnified , so no, its not too big to be venus and yes I have seen venus at this apparent size and at these times of the day.

    Having said that , this is probably the last thing you guys want to hear , cos your all hoping its the fu*king Death Star right ? :rolleyes:

    And the last link which is probably the best , includes all the pentagram stuff as well , and it is 8 years and not 4 ,

    A similar photo to the OP but with the sun much lower and venus further along in the cycle , as the photographer points out , because of the long cycle and conditions etc. photos like this are rare enough ,

    Andy,

    Judging by your short tempered foul langauged response and comments about the death star you obviously dont like to be proven wrong. This clearly is not Venus it is definetly Uranus and that is what you are talking out of: UR-ANUS.

    All your links and information are inconclusive, blurry and utter rubbish. I take it the 49 in your username is the year that you were born you dithering old fool.

    MANDOON ;)
