Since they are UNIDENTIFIED I fail to see how you can make implications about their intentions regarding the payload of the satellite. They are called UNIDENTIFIED because you can not identify them, thus you do not know what they are.
Accordingly, you can not say "It is quite uncommon for 8 unidentified things to be close to a normal communication satellite launch" it does not make sense because you do not know what they are.
First you need to identify the objects and THEN you can make assumptions as to where their presence is indeed exceptional and not common.
And identifying them will be an impossible task because the image is blurred, the contrast sucks and the brightness washes any detail away.

I also think they are stars.
If you watch closely the objects highlighted move parallel to the tail/afterburn of the rocket.

Wasn't a rocket launch but it did happen (like many many MANY other space missions) while we put something out into outer-space.
Same exact behavior of pulsating points of light and .....seemingly surrounding the STS broken tether perhaps in a mode of curiosity. Just like this appeared to be doing. Maybe not. I don't know.
Not saying this is emphatically alien UFOs but it's at least interesting enough to consider.
Really nothing spectacular

Superficially the objects in the STS 75 footage do look quite similar, but then they (stars, ice particles drifting in space) are basically all "point sources" (or very close to it) of light, and one point source can be difficult to distinguish from another.
The clue is in how they behave - in the case of the STS 75 footage (which I have looked at in detail), and it's just my opinion, but I would consider the objects behavior to be more consistent with ice particles.
In this case, they look and behave like stars, and although they could be something else, there is nothing to suggest that, that I can see, and certainly nothing that suggests aliens/craft.
Granted that things that "look strange" should be investigated, but like most UFO cases in my experience, if you dig deep enough and research the subject in question, there is usually a mundane explanation, even though the explanation may not be obvious initially.
For the very few cases that defy mundane explanation, there might well be an unusual phenomena to blame, but that does not necessarily mean "alien visitation" - there are still big gaps in our knowledge of the immediate world around us, just as there are gaps in our knowledge of the universe that we live in.

Just kidding. Although I do wonder why if they were tracking the satellite, they just zoomed on by in the same direction. Stars maybe? I dunno.

I wish we could figure out truth based on popular belief but so far, popular consensus has been so wrong for so long.... it's actually proven itself unreliable.
But thanks.
It really could be stars. But seeing no one can freeze-frame the video and zoom in....it's all a matter of opinion.
Because all these:
"Looks like...."
"Acts like......
"Common sense dictates....."
Just isn't proof of truth!

They were probably getting close wondering, "OMG, why is their ship on fire? Should we help them? Should we help? Oh, haha that's right, they still use combustible fuel." If they were indeed UFO's, maybe they were trying to get a closer look at our tech to see how far along we are.

It's getting to the point where we're becoming immune to these sightings. But never the day though, did I think I would be saying 'these are those typical UFOs pulsating in space' but....today's the day!
Really nothing spectacular but anyone who doesn't think they are not here,on and around our planet, is in for a rude awakening hopefully, this year! As predicted.

Multiple UFOs observed during the Proton Briz-M launch, carrying the Nimiq 6 Telecommunications satellite on May 17, 2012 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan. I counted 8 UFOs, question is, why was there so many UFOs present at the launch of a telecommunications satellite? Unless it was carrying something else! As always you decide.edit on 18-5-2012 by Human_Alien because: grammar
