What is this object photographed in 1999 by French astronaut Haigneré?

It looks like someone launched one of these...from something like this...

Wait...what?

Yes?

It's just got to the point now where I have no idea whatsoever what is real and what is not any more....

You could have UFO craft dead centre in the middle of the page, it could be the real thing, but people would still say, oooh, it's just the top off a coca cola bottle, or somebody has just thrown an old metal plate in the air...

We could all see the evidence we are seeking/looking for staring at us in the face, but even if it was there we would still dismiss is as being a hoax......

It's definitely a spaceship with little aliens on it. It has to be !

Sorry for necroposting!
I call PS on this one.
Increase the size of the image by 500% with your browser zoom.
If you look at the object at this magnification it seems more pixelated than the rest of the image.
Also, If you look at your screen from the right sort of angle, the object seems to be quiet noisy and pixelated in a pretty square shape area just around it, as if it was a pasted object onto the image.
I'm no graphics expert though, just my own opinion.
:@)

You are spot on if you enlarge the picture the "circular saw" is far more pixelated than the surrounding background.
Stick it in the hoax bin

WOOOW hang on here..
Cure my ignorance..
Since when is MIR the ISS...

It looks really really photo shopped. Its almost sooo bad that it actually may be REAL.. Nobody would put something that awful looking up...

I wouldnt dismiss hard evidence as a hoax. Unless of course it were proven beyond doubt that the evidence was not as hard as was first supposed. Mind you, I am talking about proper evidence, the sort that can be forensically analysed, rather than the sort you find on youtube and comes about as a result of someone really wanting to pass his digital animation degree course.

This object was the joint Russian-Georgian 'Reflektor' experiement. It was to demonstrate a lightwight antenna reflector. The Experiment was unfurled during an EVA and was finally jettisoned.

Thanks, Gunter!

Does this seem a satisfying explanation?

Space Experiment "Reflector" on Testing the Large-Scale Deployable High-Precision Offset Antenna Reflector of a New Generation at the Orbital Station "Mir"

Absolutely, it does make sense.

I'm still waiting for an answer from my contacts in the French GEIPAN/CNES agency, but I think that we can consider it solved anyway.

My first impression was a CD/DVD (or similar) disk.

I blew the image, enhanced the color and it looks just like that. The reflection from the gold anodized surface reflect light in about the same way.

Spent all of 2 minutes in the process so... I could be wrong. There are no UFO 'experts'. Just an opinion.

Micro-meteorite impact.
