As far as leaving our "gravity field", you'd have to go to the end of the universe to do that. But it's still pretty strong even at 250,000 miles (though this is far less than that), strong enough to keep the Moon in orbit.

Calling this particular triangular object "space junk" just isn't good enough.
I can go to a junk yard and see tire shaped junk . . . because it's an old tire. I can see furniture shaped junk . . . . because it's old furniture.
This object doesn't look like anything that would break free from a booster rocket or a satellite. It isn't ice. It happens to look like a ubiquitous type of UFO that has been sighted, filmed and photographed around the world. Now that may be just a coincidence, but someone should be able to identify this object as something a lot more specific than just "junk."

I'm glad we have a common understanding. Just because NASA says it's not a ufo doesn't mean their right.

As for it not looking like any junk you've ever seen, you're relying on the very dubious arguing tactic of 'Arguing From Personal Ignorance.'
How about a broken tile?
Let's go find out if the missing tile on the star tracker housing looks anything like the flat object slowly tumbling past the shuttle window.
Here are two stories that lend some context to the imaging:

And if it is in fact a tile from the shuttle, that can be easily shown and not just claimed. You would think that losing tiles off the shuttle would be a huge issue since NASA lost 7 astronauts due to the same thing.

If it was me out there I would make an attempt to grab it and glue it back on. I can imagine the conversation..
"Hey guys... errrr looks like our heat shields is loosing tiles again, should we be worried?"
"Nah we have plenty more..."

Cute. The only problem is that the craft could only only fly very low over areas which are covered by conductive material.

Aurora = TR-3B. Look it up.

I guess you don't understand the effect either. If the Earth's magnetic field were strong enough to lift the coil you wouldn't need the conductive plate.

That's a swell video!
I know about magnetic levitation but can you tell me what it has to do with a propulsion system or gravity?

If it's a tile, you should have no trouble whatsoever proving it. Period. No ifs, no ands, no buts. The tile fell off the shuttle, then there should be a section of the landed shuttle that clearly shows a missing triangular section where tile should be. Where's your proof?
A report? Where's the backup? Where are the photos of the returned shuttle? Shouldn't this issue be a priority with NASA since missing tiles caused the Columbia disaster?
