At 2:20 the unidentified object changes direction twice. I am sure someone will try to say some cleaver debunking line, but anyone with any logic can see that this is not normal. The shuttle's have captured many great shots of unidentified objects. Now with cgi and anyone can hoax attitude it is getting harder to find great video's of ufo's.
No, somebody will tell you that you didn't notice the Earth surface motion reverse course exactly during this interval, showing that the camera was panning during this interval.
Look at it again.

Thanks for the explanation of why you think that way -- it's helpful in understanding how so many eager, intelligent folks really are unjustifiably amazed by videos such as these. But since your assumptions are factually wrong, you ought to be suspicious about your deductions based on them. Ice out of water dumps, off the main engines, from the flash evaporator, from other sources, and from leaking RCS thrusters is usually departing the shuttle, and has relative speeds of only a few feet per second at most so even a recontact isn't a problem.
I don't think ANY of this is 'space junk' in the common use of the term, for OTHER satellites and fragments thereof. They will crioss-cross the shuttle's orbit much too quickly to even register on a TV or an eyeball. I think all the stuff we see on youtube is stuff coming off of the observation vehicle itself, or sometimes views of target satellites in parallel orbits during rendezvous or departure.

The camera was panning at that time. You can see the Earth also "moving" below during that time, which was due to the camera movement.

You can see how the speed at which the craft rolls at, that compared to the white things move extremely slow.
Unless you r telling me the craft isn't rolling. But that's just stupid

I don’t think those objects are space craft, definitely UFO’s though. They clearly travel fast enough to break Earth’s gravitational pull.
