Joe, This part . . . >> . . . [whatever] it was made [its] way across the >> sun in about two seconds. and this . . . >>It appeared about the size of a very large sunspot >>group, maybe an arcminute and a half across. . . . makes me skeptical. I've viewed the ISS cross the sun. 1) It zipped across in less than a second. 2) Even in a telescope it is very small, more like arcseconds, not 1.5 arcminutes. Therefore, I doubt that's what he saw.
