The Daily Mail reports on claims made by a prominent ufologist regarding a giant “UFO mothership” allegedly spotted near the sun. Scott C. Waring, a UFO researcher, argues that an image captured by NASA’s Solar Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) on October 3 shows a massive alien craft. The image captures a white, cylinder-shaped object cutting through the sun’s outer atmosphere. These claims come amid NASA’s long-standing stance that there is no evidence of alien life in our solar system.
Ufologist Claims
The SOHO probe was actively capturing coronal streamers radiating from the sun’s outer atmosphere. On the right side of the frame, a distinct cylinder-shaped object appeared. It was visible against the dark backdrop of space. Space experts claim that converting the raw NASA image into a negative image exposes additional details.
Waring notes that the dimensions of the craft are roughly 2.5 miles long and half a mile wide. He further claims that the object was moving at nearly the speed of light across the sun’s path. He says that the negative version of SOHO’s photo proves the “mothership” is utilizing a tractor beam. The beam is being used to safely pull three smaller orb-shaped craft along its path. He claims this is “100 percent proof” of daily alien transit through our solar system.
NASA has not issued a public statement regarding this specific SOHO frame. It has also not commented on Waring’s claims. Furthermore, NASA has consistently maintained that it has no definitive evidence of UFOs, Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), or extraterrestrial life. Historically, NASA has attributed such SOHO visuals to passing space debris or digital artifacts.
The Interstellar Comparison
Waring compared the dimensions of the alleged mothership to 3I/ATLAS. This was a mysterious interstellar visitor identified in July 2025 by the ATLAS telescope network. He speculates that the object could be 3I/ATLAS returning.
