Bogeyman Posted July 5, 2010 #1 Share Posted July 5, 2010 (edited) I'd go with "ice particles" myself because each one seems to come from bottom left to top right ...except for about 1:26 min in when there seem to be a lot of things floating around on the periphery ....anyway...you decide http://www.phenomenica.com/2010/07/nasa-ufo-footage-from-above-earth.html Edited July 5, 2010 by Bogeyman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alienated Being Posted July 5, 2010 #2 Share Posted July 5, 2010 well we know one thing, it's definitely unidentified.. but the question still remains: "what is it, exactly?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcrom901 Posted July 6, 2010 #3 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I'd go with "ice particles" myself in most cases such mundane prosaic explanations have no basis in reality..... example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcrom901 Posted July 6, 2010 #5 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Are we looking at a UFO or UFOs? I guess I'm Team Ice Particles too. which specific source do you think is responsible for those 'ice particles'? n which camera do you think shot that footage? anyhow.... other anomalies were observed on that mission as well.... On September 15, 1991, between 20:30 and 20:45 Greenwich Mean Time, the TV camera located at the back of Space Shuttle Discovery's cargo bay was trained on the Earth's horizon while the astronauts were occupied with other tasks. A glowing object suddenly appeared just below the horizon and "slowly" moved from right to left and slightly upward in the picture. Several other glowing objects had been visible before this, and had been moving in various directions. Then a flash of light occurred at what seemed to be the lower left of the screen; and the main object,along with the others, changed direction and accelerated away sharply, as if in response to the flash. Shortly thereafter a streak of light moved through the region vacated by the main object, and then another streak moved through the right of the screen, where two of the other objects had been. Roughly 65 seconds after the main flash, the TV camera rotated down, showing a fuzzy picture of the side of the cargo bay. It then refocused, turned toward the front of the cargo bay, and stopped broadcasting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9AFs67Xjes - The distance from the Discovery to the Earth's horizon is 2,757 kilometers - The UFO's speed before accelerating into space is 87,000 kph (Mach 73) - Three seconds after the light flash, the UFO changes direction sharply and accelerates off into space at 340,000 kph (Mach 285) within 2.2 seconds - Such an acceleration would produce 14,000 g of force (1g is normal Earth gravity) additional links coming back to the 'ice particle' mundane'ties.... how is it that nothing is mentioned in the technical reports? from my previous link.... concerning the sts-75 tether footage..... http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19960022783_1996048891.pdf you can check the details mentioned in that report & compare your findings with the rest of the data..... http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19970001413_1996097234.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbo Posted July 9, 2010 #7 Share Posted July 9, 2010 You don't know how big that 'dot' is. Yes it looks like its close to Earth. But if it wasn't and was actually a lot smaller and closer to the shuttle, it kinda throws out all those calculations of how fast its going. As for the original link by the OP - space isn't clean...Earth almost has man-made rings of crap that we've left up there, so much so that NASA sometimes has to wait for an opening to get space craft out.

Sabbath Posted July 9, 2010 #8 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g9AFs67Xjes&feature=player_embedded As far as I know, that was spacejunk/ice being pushed away by the force of the thruster engines (who caused the flash). Some objects moved faster than others because they were closer. Edited July 9, 2010 by Blacksabbath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
