Alien spacecraft off the edge of Mercury.

When I was in year 10 at school, in story-writing Sandra Jackson wrote one about a spaceship that went to the sun to scoop out a sample. Using a large block of ice to keep cool

That's nothing. I recall a PUBLISHED Sci Fi story about a man developing a jet propelled-train. A rival sabotaged the magnetic device that kept it on the tracks and it shot off into space where it was eaten by a giant crab and spat out again to land back on the tracks exactly where it left them and nobody was injured except the rival who happened to be standing there. I have never been able to get it out of my head, a work of genius!

Had a contract ten years back writing software to process satellite images. They had various imperfections due to dust on the lenses, some non functioning pixels and some with less gain and sometimes the thing would reset and cause missing bands. Some problems were sorted by the calibration, some weren't.

We provided the serious customers with unaltered images but for other purposes the images were FAKED. I was sorely tempted to stick in a few pictures so they would discover 300ft giant spiders in the Gobi desert.

FTFY

I prefer the Alien Spaceship explanation.

They must have a fuel scoop.

That taught me three of life's lessons.

It's Zeity's relatives for their annual visit.

Nice of him to warn us of a potential invasion.

What? That UFO contains Giant Alien Spiders?

I bet they eat people.

We provided the serious customers with unaltered images but for other purposes the images were auto corrected, gaps filled in by extrapolation from surrounding areas or using other colour bands.

"it's a cloaked alien spaceship" explanation.

Obviously it isnt claoked or the cloaking system has broken down (croaked , or the cloaking system doesnt work when confronted by a telescope used by a spotty geek from a civilisation that is 100 million years behind its own
