  A point of interest:  The LASCO C3 camera's field of view ranges from 3.7 to 32 solar radii.  Our sun's radius is 696,265 km.  So, the C3 camera's field of view = 3.7 x 696,265 to 32 x 696,265.  That's a range of 2,576,180 km to 22,280,480 km.   Converted to miles, that's a range of 1,600,764 miles to 13,844,448 miles. 

  From this, we can make a fairly educated guess as to how fast the winged thingy is moving.  Of course, this is just the roughest of estimates.

  On 08/02/16 13:42, there is a faint appearance.  It goes behind the armature 08/04/16 02:18.  So, if the exterior edge of the armature is the beginning of the 3.7 solar radii range and it became visible .75 inch into the field (with the edge of the field to the exterior edge of the armature being 2.5 inches in the image), then the approximate distance would be 70% of the field or ~15,596,360 mile, which was traversed in ~ 10:18 + 24 + 2:18 = 36h 36m.  So, 15,596,360 / 36.5 = a speed of 427,297 mph.  Around a half-a-million miles per hour.  Not bad.  Wonder what kind of MPG it gets.

  The second oddity I notice is the armature he claims is a SOHO C3 image (screen shot from his video):

  Compare with the armature in the LASCO C3 image which I just downloaded and note that it has a white ring in the middle,and also the color of the arm is blue, not black...

  The first thing I noticed was the LASCO C3 (blue) image didn't show the date/time stamp in the lower left hand corner.  I played a movie of all of August and didn't see it.  I did find "the winged thingy" object do its thing.  If you want to see it:

  1.  Go to http://sohodata.nascom.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/data_query.

  2.  Select the LASCO C3 camera.

  3.  Type in the dates:  Beginning 2016-08-03 End 2016-08-04

  4.  Under Display, select Movie.

  5.  Click on Search.

  6.  Notice something that is comet-like coming up from ~4:00-4:30 from the outer edge and is heading toward the sun.

  7.  At about 12:42 on the movie, it begins to sprout its wings.

  8.  Then at about 23:54 it turns more towards the sun and the wings disappear.

  9.  After it goes under the armature, the sun lets loose a whopper sun flare.

  If that doesn't prove an object under intelligent control, then I don't know what does.  (=comets don't make hard right turns).
