Why can't it be UFO's? Does it hurt to admit that?
So why dont all you dubunkers PROOVE that it's NOT something from this world!
You cant, the believer's cant, it's unidentified, and will remain so.

In these times of HD and Blu Ray technology do NASA continue to use such substandard camera's? It's like they bolted on a logitech webcam. Maybe they don't want us to see clearly what is going on out there.

Very good, you are a wise man, maybe I could say a sage, grins. I would vote for you to be a leader in my group of poor rag tag followers someday..

Hopefully, it wont ever come to that, but us humans are a funny lot, we tend to tear each other apart like pit bulls, and in the next breath will share a beer..sighs.
When sunrise occurs (due to the Orbiter's motion along its
orbit), even though the Orbiter is now bathed in sunlight, the
camera is still trained on the dark side of Earth. But now the
floating particles which routinely accompany every shuttle
flight (often ice particles, sometimes junk from the payload
bay, pieces of insulation blankets, a dozen or more distinctly
different sources) can become visible in the sunlight, sometimes
even moving into sunlight from the umbra of the Orbiter (and
thus "appearing suddenly"). These are close to the camera,
sometimes a few feet, at most a few hundred feet. Sometimes they
are hit by pulses of gas from the RCS jets as they automatically
fire to gently nudge the spaceship back towards a pre-set
orientation. Because of the sensitivity of the camera, moving
particles leave streaks -- even stars can be seen to do this
when the camera is being panned (usually by command from a
controller in the Mission Control Center). Tumbling particles
tend to flash. Bright particles overload the optics and appear
as "rings" or "do-nuts" with darker centers.
There's nothing else to it, as far as I can tell. Everyone in
the control center knows about this visual phenomenon, everyone
has seen it numerous times, and they laugh at notions these are
anomalous, while they grimace at yet more silly stories by
people who don't seem to understand much (or do seem to
misunderstand a lot) about "ordinary" space flight.
I don't expect that this will change many minds and I don't
intend to go on television to face some wild accusations that
I'm a paid liar for the grand conspiracy, and basically I don't
take anyone seriously who takes these stories seriously. Life's
too short for me to care what some people want to believe these
scenes show. I've already spent too much time, but I figured
somebody had to make a rational response, whether it was
understood and believed, or not.

What do you think they are, Fran? You have all-but-declared this video cannot be debunked. So, what is your claim?

Why don't you check out the live feed happening right now from the shuttle and ISS?
www.nasa.gov...
Might spot something.

I must just check out those live feeds, however, I doubt if I will see anything as there is a delay on the broadcast isn't there? like big brother ?
