Evidence of dark matter (DM) comes from long-range gravitational observations, where
it is understood to not interact with ordinary matter. However, on a much smaller scale, a number
of unexpected phenomena contradict this idea of DM. This is because some solar activity and the
dynamic Earth atmosphere might arise from DM streams. Gravitational (self-)focusing effects by the
Sun or its planets of streaming DM fit as the underlying process, e.g., for the otherwise puzzling
11-year solar cycle, the mysterious heating of the solar corona with its fast temperature inversion, etc.
Observationally driven, we arrive to suggest an external impact by as yet overlooked “streaming
invisible matter”, which reconciles some of the investigated mysterious observations. Unexpected
planetary relationships exist for the dynamic Sun and Earth atmosphere and are considered as the
signature for streaming DM. Then, focusing of DM streams could also occur in exoplanetary systems,
suggesting for the first time the carrying out of investigations by searching for the associated stellar
activity as a function of the exoplanetary orbital phases. The entire observationally driven reason-
ing is suggestive for highly cross-disciplinary approaches that also include (puzzling) biomedical
phenomena. Favoured candidates from the dark sector are the highly ionizing anti-quark nuggets,
magnetic monopoles and also particles such as dark photons.
