Well, once again another astronaut sees something in space and obviously does not know what it is and is trying to take yet more images of these things.
Guess I'll be the first to say it.....looks like water ejected and turned to ice...Umm second thought....looks like debris.....Ummm.....second thought it looks like lens flare with ice and debris.....
Just kiden E.......Good find

LOL even so...these look NOTHING like starships.
In fact i've seen countless examples of this anomaly (photography anomaly) tested on countless sites showing clearly this happens and can be recreated anywhere.
Freakin tiny glowing specks of matter...sure alien ships...wow. SHEER IDIOCY....shameful.

Could it be space junk?? And, an attempt on keeping space looking pristine? All I saw was a ring, like the kind you find in piping systems and such. I would have to see a heck of a lot more and better pics of this before I would start calling anything a UFO (of the nature that most people think of).

Starred and flagged, even if it is all in vain. I started a thread on this subject and unfortunately the thread was dominated by skeptics assuring us that the 'hole in the middle' is an out of focus lens arifact, nothing more than that.
On the previous shuttle thread before that, I had skeptics going as far as to say I was crazy and need meds, all because I was bringing this shuttle ufo footage to the attention to the ATS folk.
So here we go again, another shuttle mission, more ufo sightings and suspicious behaviour on the astronaut's part fumbling for his camera. I'm sure this thread will also be bombarded with the usual explanations of ice crystals and debris combined with out of focus camera work.
