Yes, snow=water, but "looks like snow" is not the same as snow, right?
And yes, Exuberant1 is the only person that is still on topic, and doing a great job!

astronauts Alan Bean, Owen Garriott and Jack Lousma spotted what they described as a red "satellite", which they photographed and mentioned during a subsequent debriefing:
LOUSMA: "Did you tell him about that satellite we saw?
BEAN: Yes, we saw a great satellite. We didn't know if we told you about it.
LOUSMA: The closest and brightest one we've seen.
BEAN: Huge one.
there was no man-made satellite that could explain this sighting and hence the object was truly anomalous.
Garriott said later that the object did not lead the Skylab into sunset, but rather followed the Skylab into sunset.
the research was exploring different possibilities of why the object appeared the way it did in the sequence of photographs and one hypothesis was the UFO could have made an advancement toward Skylab during the ten minute encounter...
whereas previously it was assumed that the object maintained a roughly fixed, large distance during the time of the first three photos and then it suddenly made an "un-satellite-like" rapid motion toward the Skylab
conclusion...
based on the available information, these authors conclude that there was no man-made satellite that could explain this sighting and hence the object was truly anomalous. Further data are being sought.
LOUSMA: I saw a couple of satellites that appeared like a satellite would on earth.
I saw one that was not like one you would see on earth,
It's all debriefed in terms of time on channel A, so the precise timing and location can be picked up from there."
and then Oberg says this...
according to Oberg the Channel A tape recorder was not on, so the exact time cannot be determined.

both those statements cannot be true
one of them has to be either mistaken or lying .....which one do you think it is ?

There's no zoom -- no focus adjustment -- going on. The changes in appearance are due to automatic gain control self-adjustment of detector sensitivity, which in low light conditions plays havoc with the image.
Seems like most of the activity moved over to the motion study thread. Just checked back here randomly.
But Jim, there most certainly is zoom occurring in the Stubbs video...
I stand corrected. Somehow I generalized the lack of focus control with no commanded zoom -- it certainly exists here, it's a standard capability, and my statement was wrong. Oops.
