Unknown Fast Moving Satellite Crossing The Sun on Dec 1, 2013

Following its Thanksgiving Day brush with solar fire, sundiving Comet ISON is now just a cloud of dust and chunks Among experts, a consensus is building that the comet broke apart shortly before perihelion.

Three days later, on December 1, 2013, Richard Schmidt - Burleith Observatory In Washington, Dc. captured an unknown fast moving Satellite crossing the Sun.

We wonder if this satellite is a (secret) man made or extraterrestrial craft and and is it possible that this satellite is responsible for the disintegration of the comet?

Details:

While imaging sunspots we observed a fast-moving satellite with a long boom arm crossing the field of view. This sequence spans 36 milliseconds of real time. The object was moving East at 1 degree per second. Lunt LS100 solar telescope.
