Alien hunters have cited a NASA image as evidence that "UFOs are controlling" the sun.
UFO enthusiast, myunhauzen74, posted a video highlighting images sent back from the Solar Heliospheric Observatory spacecraft.
The claims were then picked up by Scott Waring, long-term UFO enthusiast and editor of ufosightingsdaily.com.
Writing on his website, he stated that six to seven years ago, Russian scientists had discovered "numerous UFOs around our sun at the same time, 24 hours a day, every day."

"They stated the UFOs would increase and decrease their speed suddenly for no reason and they would make sudden hard right 90 degree turns without slowing down," he said.
"Even though that news story has long since vanished on the web, every time I look at the SOHO photos, I think of that news story.
"They are out there...around our sun, doing god knows what?"
He also said the UFOs may "actually be controlling the sun, to keep a steady temperature here on Earth".
Alternatively, these objects "could be harvesting a very rare and powerful heavy element."
