Are aliens harvesting energy from the sun? UFO hunters claim to have found evidence for star lifting in Nasa images

  • Conspiracy theorists believe alien spacecraft may be circling our sun
  • A YouTube posted a video, claimed to be based on pictures from Nasa
  • The pictures show a white dot near then sun, joined by a 'connecting line'
  • One UFO thinks this is an alien spacecraft zooming away after recharging 

Alien spacecraft could be surrounding the sun in order to harvest solar energy.

At least, that is the latest claim made by UFO hunters who believe that they have spotted evidence for star lifting in images taken by Nasa.

The image appears to show an unidentified white dot joined to the sun by a 'connected line'.

WHAT IS STAR LIFTING?

Star lifting is a general name to describe any process by which civilisations could remove material from a star, and use it for themselves.

This could involve a Dyson sphere, a swarm of satellites that surrounds a star, or other methods.

Many star lifting mechanisms involve harnessing solar wind, for example. 

The idea is popular in science fiction.

In the series Stargate Universe, the Ancient ship Destiny is fuelled by plasma from stars.

In the Star Wars franchise of Knights of the Old Republic, the Star Forge is capable of star lifting.

Star lifting is a general name to describe any process by which civilisations could remove material from a star, and use it for themselves.

A video uploaded last week by YouTube user Streetcap1 was posted with the caption: 'Is this a massive UFO feeding off sun energy?'.

While the uploader admits to being initially sceptical, they appear to have been convinced the image may well show some sort of alien activity.

'The fact that the UFO is a different colour and shape to the rest of the "Connected Line" is what convinced me to upload this,' they said.

'I was not a great believer in this Plasma SUN Energy Theory, but this has got me thinking'.  

UFO hunter Scott C. Waring from UFOSightingsDaily.com also believes the image shows evidence of aliens.

'The UFO may have beenusing the sun's energy to fuel itself or to recharge in some way, but it's leaving at high speed, he said.

'Notice that the UFO is a glowing white, but the sun's plasma in a yellow.

'This tells us the craft is made from a different material than the sun's surface.

However, UFO expert Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual does not believe that the image is proof of alien life.

'These might be objects shooting away from the sun and they look sinister because they are not very clear images so we can use our imagination to insert aliens into the equation,' Mr Watson told MailOnline.

'If they are UFOs it is good to know they use clean solar energy so it seems unlikely they will rob us of our fossil fuels or pollute our skies,' he added.

This isn't the first time that alien hunters have suggested that extraterrestrials may be mining energy from the sun. 

Earlier this year, a YouTuber and 'UFOlogist’ has spotted what he claims to be numerous UFOs travelling around the sun in images sent back from the Solar Heliospheric Observatory.

The video appears to show images with strange green lit objects floating around the bright glowing ball of gas.

In another case, a Martian researcher discovered a black cube ‘orbiting’ the sun while analysing an image sent back from Nasa's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.

Some claim this is the American space agency’s method for covering up alien spacecraft that get caught in the images. 

EX-NASA AGENT CLAIMS AGENCY USED CODE WORD SANTA CLAUS FOR THREE UFOS 

Three flying saucers were spotted on the moon during Nasa's lunar landings, according to the bizarre claims of a former Nasa contractor.

In a YouTube video testimony, Dona Hare says the space agency covered up a series of UFO sighting that they codenamed 'Santa Claus'.

Hare claims she was told by numerous sources, which she does not name, about three UFOs that landed shortly after one of the moon landings.

Not only is she accusing Nasa of hiding UFOs from the public, she has also stated the agency has doctored and obscured thousands of photos. She went on record to state the agency erases anomalies from pictures before selling them to the public.

During her time at Nasa, she was employed as an illustrator and photographic slide technician and received many awards for her work.

She claims Nasa threatened those who dared speak about the UFO sightings or airbrushed pictures.
