You know what amazes me, you never contribute anything to this particular forum without mocking. So let me ask which is worse...the fringe factor or those who utilize their time to laugh at them? Also you're forgetting something major, you probably got lightheaded while looking down your nose...the space shuttle does not sit static in space, it orbits the earth at 18.5 thousand MPH, so whatever that was "hovering" below...was pacing it. When a NASA guy says we don't know where some of these things come from, it's probably safe to say "some" of those things don't come off equipment and come from somewhere else.
Kali, you really have to make a little effort to come up to speed on the basics of spaceflight operations, or your 'safe to say' guesses make you look foolishly ignorant.
Why shouldn't stuff gently coming off an orbiting vehicle 'pace' that vehicle? Do you really think that spaceships use their engines to cruise at 18,000 mph?
• Earth’s oblateness;
• Atmospheric drag;
• Third-body effects;
• Solar wind/radiation pressure;
• Electromagnetic drag.
At the Earth’s surface (without contending for the atmosphere, mountains or other structures), a satellite would have to travel at approximately 8 km/sec (or about 17,900 mph) to fall around the Earth without hitting the surface; in other words, to orbit.12

I really do worry for you debunkers who refuse to see what is right in front of your face.
It is sad because your whole world is getting ready to be blown right open.
There will be nowhere to hide and no amount of exuses is going to save you from your entire world view to come crashing down on top of you.
Your pragmatic "Logical Explinations" are a pathetic cover for a weak and timid mind, too afraid to
face the reality that we are experiencing right now.

And you really should make more of an effort to be human, I did not say none of those "things" weren't off equipment and yes I know they follow for a bit. I just happen to believe that not all of them are, you can throw your NASA credentials around as much as you like, and as much I DON'T like it, most of what you have to say I will have to accept as truth...but for once, just one time...can you not be an ass and admit that sometimes there are things that do not come off of human made equipment, that have paced the shuttle or the ISS? Perhaps you can answer...when Atlantis landed after that mission were they able to see that anything was missing?

Here is more information for all you people who ridiculed my first post on this topic;
NASA said it was debris (space junk)! They just didn't know what type of debris they were, or where they originated from. That is why they did additional checks on the shuttle. Since the debris were "floating along with the orbital" they are sure it was debris from the shuttle, just not sure what it is exactly.
They don't "chase" these debris with the shuttle, they "chase" them with their cameras to figure out if they came off from the shuttle, and threaten the return of the shuttle. The protective tiles on the shuttle are very fragile, and they are only glued on. If they are not glued on just right, they will fall off, and that could cause the entire shuttle to burn up in reentry. So they "chase" these debris with their cameras to confirm what they are... so they know what repairs or precautions to make...
Please people, if my posts sound like I am mocking, it's because some people are making a mockery of UFOlogy, and I am just stating the obvious. There are die hard UFO enthusiasts that are destroying UFOlogy by taking videos out of context and labeling them with "UFOS OMG!" or "NASA ADMITS UFOS! OMG!". Then there are gullible UFO enthusiasts that just eat it up and say "OMG THIS IS THE BEST PROOFS EVER!" without doing any critical thinking. It really makes all UFO enthusiasts such as my self look bad. I don't want to be seen next to these types of people...
I understand most people already believe UFOs are visiting Earth so they just jump to the conclusion every time. But, come on people, not everything is a UFO! Use some scientific methods in figuring out what this is... Use logical deduction and reason... Do something besides make yourself look foolish and gullible.

I want to make a point: Something "pacing" the shuttle is perfectly consistent with something that has been drifting slowly away from it.

If this was just pace junk NASA would know about it - after all they track all the space junk in order to avoid accidents, right?
Originally posted by Shamatt
So why would NASA say "We chased many of these things...." - you think thye would waste time chasing space junk? And of they were, why would they say the never realy figure out what these things are?

You are ignoring the speach in order to deiscredit the video.

And it make no sence logically, when you look at it. You think they are dumb enough to chase space junk and not know it? lol

No way! Awesome, that's clarity right there.
I wonder if that video was chopped in any way, going to have to look at it.
