Has NASA’s Satellite Captured an Unidentified Object Near Mercury?

Yes, it has.

They do not know what it is, so it is by definition, unidentified. It is likely to be what is stated in the article, and very much doubt any alien ship would want to be caught in a CME.

Unless it doesn't fulfil the last criteria by way of 'being an object', could simply be due to the post processing ;)

Extremely wild stab in the dark but my first thought was that it could possibly be a group of charged particles being captured or reflected by Mercury's magnetic field.

Very possible.
 
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went to and fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in their assurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoria under the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to the older worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought of them only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible or improbable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of those departed days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be other men upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready to welcome a missionary enterprise. Yet across the gulf of space, minds that are to our minds as ours are to those of the beasts that perish, intellects vast and cool and unsympathetic, regarded this earth with envious eyes, and slowly and surely drew their plans against us. And early in the twentieth century came the great disillusionment.
