So did the Astronauts evacuate because of the strange craft or were they evacuating because of a completely different reason?

The official story is an ammonia leak in the U.S side of the ISS.

This site is an excellent place to go to see ISS action logs, and they have archives going back several years.

An immense cloud forms outside the atmosphere after the disintegration pic.twitter.com/PshgE1W7CJ — Luca Parmitano (@astro_luca) October 11, 2013

NASA astronaut Mike Hopkins, who is also working on the station, also tweeted his view of the cloud, saying, “Saw something launch into space today. Not sure what it was but the cloud it left behind was pretty amazing.”Seeing an unannounced rocket launch out of the window would have likely been pretty unnerving for the crew. So what was that ULO (Unidentified Launching Object)?

After doing some digging, Nancy Atkinson over at Universe Today found the answer, courtesy of the Russian Forces blog:

The Strategic Rocket Forces carried out a successful test launch of a Topol/SS-25 missile on October 10, 2013. The missile was launched at 17:39 MSK (13:39 UTC) from Kapustin Yar to the Sary Shagan test site in Kazakhstan.

Good suggestion, here are two reports I recently posted about such missile tests and the serendipitous observation of one from the ISS.

I'm no space expert so bare with me. What form/shape would an escaped gas or liquid substance take on if released for whatever reason from the ISS or a satellite?

I try to cover a lot of the context of space viewing in my 99 FAQs at www.jamesoberg.com/ufo.html

Fuel dumps in orbit can create visible clouds that rapidly expand and dissipate, unlike this object.

They are frequently observed, and if the vehicle is spinning, take on a spiral form. But not here, it seems.

As always, it's worth getting the word out soon so contextual clues can be found while they're still available.

I must have missed the specified exact time of the video, can somebody please help?

Once and awhile, reports like this are really important, and you can't tell which at first.

BTW there was no ammonia leak.

in the cloud hypothesis, this is just its shadow, as previously explained.

my first thought on seeing it was lenticular cloud with a shadow on the right hand side, but looking at the iss in the same shot i'm not sure the shadows would be consistent, even allowing for the difference in altitude

the light source on the iss seems to be behind rather than to the left of the camera - if whatever is 'taking the picture' is reflecting light back onto the iss that might explain it

the best quality version is in this post

it must be old footage i would have thought

Here's the CBS broadcast it was taken from , I don't know what it is but it doesn't look hoaxed.
UFO @ .16

Although I'd like to know where the camera filming the ISS in that video is situated.

Any idea which huge river the station is orbiting above, while the anomaly passes underneath?

I'm sorry to spoil the party but before this thread grows based on
wrong facts I must tell you this IS NOT A UFO.

This video showed by CBS, NBC and others is an animation of the ISS
by Rick Ray for Shutter Stock under the title:
CIRCA 2010s - The International Space Station flies over the earth

The footage is for sale and the tv networks always have stock videos
and images to illustrate their reports. i think Rick Ray made the rounded
figure to illustrate a lake or something, I knew this was a CGI since the
first seconds I watched the footage,. Anyway this was not a hoax but
a simple mistake. Now to the evidence.

Here is the link to the website showing the footage, the alleged UFO
appears at second 0.20. CBS News footage does not show the logo
because they bought the rights and received a clean footage.
Easy and simple.

nice one - i can stop trying to figure out the light source now

a reply to: free_spirit

Well done, free_spirit. Mystery solved.

No offense, and this isn't directed at OP - but aliens - ffs, none of us really give a flying # about the ISS. You have the tech, power and ability to bring us far more interesting forum posts than something something the ISS that most of us don't give a # about. SORT IT OUT! Use the lower atmosphere fer christ sake not this #ty ISS area of the world that none of can relate to OR REALLY GIVE A # ABOUT.

Something something ISS? Really? Does anyone actually give a #?

They had to evacuate because of an ammonia leak so I`m guessing that what we are seeing is a cloud of ammonia gas that leaked.

a reply to: Tardacus

I think it's recently been established that there was no actual ammonia leak.

It's actually the huge dome EPA put over Springfield. I can see homer riding a bike up the side of it now. Case closed.

a reply to: RoScoLaz4

the latest UFO could actually be anything from a weather balloon

I'd say this writer for The Mirror is clueless about weather balloons. *insert laugh*

Just a reminder -- why I think keeping as many different eyes and minds on all these videos is an important role non-professionals can help in, no matter WHAT is seen or not seen:

I don't think it's movement in relation to the Earth's rotation is proof of anything. Why do you feel it is?

Not a proof of anything of course. Strictly speaking, it could be anything else, but common sense says to me that something that:
- Moves in relation to the ground in the same direction,
- Moves in relation to the ground at the same speed,
- Is white,
- Casts shadows,
- Is close to the ground, then big,
- Have a vaporous aspect...

... is likely just what it seems to be, i-e a cloud, cumulonimbus cloud possibly.

Add to that a poor resolution, YT compression, zero information about the video source, date and hour, original video, etc... and you have something that could be quickly defined as 'UFO'.

There's a lot of misinformation in your post. Where are the shadows you mention that this object is casting? Close to the ground? You can tell that from the picture? Vaporous aspect? Again, you can tell that from the video? Looks solid to me and if it is of ET origin, who's to say what the "aspect" of that would be?

As for the video clip, it appears it was part of a news broadcast as well, so is that in question? You have leapt to a lot of conclusions without any way of verifying them.

sorry, double post.
