    i think this object was in the earth atmoshere and bending of light and perspective made it look like it skimmed the sun. another reason is its speed - given the diameter of the sun with around 1,39 million km, the object would have traveled faster than the speed of light.

    Nice one! Although I think similar effects can be reached with an object within the atmosphere passing the sun disc, depending on the shutter speed and aperture, amongst other settings in and other attributes of a camera.Especially suspicious is that there is already a light streak towards the object before it touches the sun.Thank you for posting!

    That's what's called a sun dog, they happen more frequently around the equator more so over open waters.

    you can clearly see the camera dip and the light from the sun is shining on some high cloud.
