Questions about "flying objects" are not on topic for astronomy

I’m voting to close this question because flying objects are usually off-topic, unless they contain a telescope.

It's quite clear that the "cube" in question is an image-processing artifact

The Express is notorious for low-quality "science" stories.
In this case, someone who wanted to see a UFO looked at images from the [Solar and Heliospheric Observatory](https://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/) until he found a feature he could say something sensational about.
One might as well say, "I like turtles, that cloud looks like a turtle, therefore turtles come from the sky."
The mention of hollow sun "theory" is another red flag.

SOHO and its successor the [Solar Dynamics Observatory](https://sdo.gsfc.nasa.gov/) have recorded many legitimate phenomena including [coronal mass ejections](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronal_mass_ejection) and [Sun-grazing comets](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sungrazing_comet).
