When bigger experts than you say they can't explain it, how come someone random decides he knows what it is? Im not talking about this case only, many times when it comes to asking real experts, yet some debunker knows better...
Atlantis commander Brent Jett described the objects as two rings and a piece of foil. He told Mission Control the first object, about 100 feet from the shuttle, was "a reflective cloth or a mechanic looking-cloth. ... It's not a solid metal structure."
"It's not uncommon to see little bits of pieces of things floating by," said flight director Paul Dye.
NASA officials thought the debris may have come from the shuttle's cargo bay.
"Typically, when we open the payload doors on the first day of flight, we will see objects," landing flight director Steve Stich said. "It's a little bit unusual to see objects maybe this late in the mission."

Hey, I'm not saying it's one thing or another, it was just funny seeing the skeptics saying the guy from NASA said "traced" which is a blatant lie. So here we have a post that shows that believers are willing to lie/mis direct, to further their own cause and the skeptics willing to lie/mis direct to further their own cause. Not a very healthy mix if you ask me! (btw i'm not saying you lied GoP!) I'm glad i'm a fence sitter, then I don't have to have an agenda, and I can take each topic on a case by case basis.
You'll have to admit using the word "chase" in the context that you did (in your descripton of your last post) and what the guy from NASA did, is a very odd way to use the English language, regardless of whether that is the right interpretation or not. There are a few other words that are more appropriate than that! By using the word chase, you're implying that the chased has taken "flight" from the pursuer, even though in some contexts that isn't the case. It's the implications of choosing to use that word that has led to this topic.

Ask him why he can't string simple English together, considering he's a big wig at NASA? If he doesn't know why, ask him if I can have a job, as I can't do it either.

Ask him my question that you refuse to respond to.

Considering you were "immersed" there at NASA please clear something up for me. I was under the impression that the Air Force can track dime sized objects in our orbit from the ground. Also they have tracking satellites in orbit to fill in the data gaps on the ground.
Does the Air Force not share this data with NASA?
