Hello, Mr. Plait, I was viewing your video on page 4 about the density of the center of the sun, and while watching out of the corner of my eye at exactly 1:40 I noticed a kind of ‘ghostly’ object fly behind you. It appears to whip through the air in a downward, slanted motion.

Of course, this maybe nothing but just a blip on the video or whatever, but recently I have been listening to Coast to Coast AM and Mr. Noory had a guest who spoke about ‘unseen’ objects recorded on video…mostly of what they call ’shadow people’.

By the way, love the blog. Peace.

Two things you may not have known about Brian Cox:
He hosted a show recently run on the Science Channel: What Time Is It? about the nature of Time (Space/Time) (also, I don’t see any upcoming repeats of it in the immediate future)
He will appear on the second episode of the upcoming NBC series KINGS – see link to SciFi Wire, with the mention at the end of the article
