Surely these things we see on the NASA videos cannot be ice particles. Who came up with that silly answer anyways?
The real witnesses and the real experts, in case you really wanted to know. But keep ignoring them, if it makes you feel any smarter.

No, we have just been either lied to, or just been told nothing so many times, and there are so many loose ends that don't add up.
NASA would do a LOAD to help their credibility just by stopping the practice of not answering questions from the public about things the public is interested in. It is just that simple. Experts or not, it makes them look like they are hiding something that was discovered with our tax dollars.

Now that you understand that much, let me explain. I have made only a few cursory contacts with any NASA employee's (outside yourself). I am taking the word of several other people, including Zorgon (who may come by and share some examples that he is aware of)......
I assure you, there is no reason to display any emotional response here. We are just discussing.

But OP, update us once this vid comes out.
The forward and aft RCS units provide the thrust for attitude (rotational) maneuvers (pitch, yaw and roll) and for small velocity changes along the orbiter axis (translation maneuvers).
Additional OMS thrusting periods using one or both OMS engines are performed on orbit as needed for rendezvous, for payload deployment or for transfer to another orbit.
The orbital maneuvering system provides the thrust for orbit insertion, orbit circularization, orbit transfer, rendezvous, deorbit, abort to orbit and abort once around and can provide up to 1,000 pounds of propellant to the aft reaction control system. The OMS is housed in two independent pods located on each side of the orbiter's aft fuselage.

I think change of direction of the "objects" (i.e debris, ice partciles from cargo bay etc) can be fully explained by the shuttle thrusters, you know they fire those to keep the shuttle in place.
