Here is a strange object transiting the sun on the 29 June 2011 at 18-30UT here I present just 14 frames of the 131 original clip, any one got any ideas what it is? After a posting on the Cloudy Nights forum I think that we can conclude it was a pair of party balloons tied together but check out the forum thread it is both informative and hillarious!
