An object estimated to be the size of Mercury was photographed passing by Jupiter and it's four largest moons. The very large object moves extremely quickly. The video is not presented in a sensational manner and seems to be a sincere attempt to draw attention to something very unusual. Perhaps it is easily refuted by others more attuned to astronomical events, but it does seem peculiar.

The video is short, around 8 minutes.

Interesting. First impression was: asteroid, something crossing the scene that is relatively small and much, much closer to Earth than Jupiter. But I'm wondering, if it was something much closer it would blur out and not even show up, as it wouldn't be in the same focal range as Jupiter. If this is genuine footage, and the object is indeed at a similar range to Jupiter, there seems to be every implication it is very large, and very fast.

Nope. As Star Mariner immediately suspected above, it might have been a far smaller object, far closer — and very probably was. No way to tell without a stereoscopic view.

And the earth's magnetosphere did not 'collapse', and the solar wind did not 'reverse'. See this thread: (the video presenter also had his dates wrong)

Thanks Bill. The mysteries don't yield to such ease of revelation. :) Proper discernment wasn't employed, knowing that most of these videos are more speculation than fact.
