None of the objects show intelligent control. They all just move straight ahead as if they are being controlled by the orbit or something. Probably shooting stars and sattelites...

Stand back a little farther from the puter and watch the whole video, don't concentrate on the white specks, you can see the clouds move also,,,,, IE; the camera is moving.

The object that appears at the bottom of the screen at about 9 seconds into the tape changes direction without the camera moving. It comes from the bottom moving towards the aim from left to right in about a 120 degrees, then it abruptly changes direction to about 60 degrees.

What do you suppose happens to a multi-ton object in zero-gravity (in other words it weighs nothing) when it is struck by a microscopic peice of anything travelling at very high speeds?

Are you saying that if a microscopic piece of anything travelling at very high speeds would struck the shuttle, the shuttle would change direction?

The camera might not change position, but the shuttle could be turning.

I think you might be seeing something called parallax. A good ananlogy is driving down the highway. The objects at the side of your car appear to be moving more than distant objects to the side of the car. The shuttles turn may make the object appear to change direction much more than that of the Earth, which could be much further away. We don't know distances or sizes, so its tough to determine whats moving and whats not. If the object were small (space junk, which is plentiful) and relatively close to the shuttle, the result would be what we see in the video. There simply is not enough information available to say what it is with any certainty.

Perhaps the space shuttle would not change direction, like a bullet perhaps a microscopic piece of anything would just penetrate it. Incidently, this microscopic pieces of matter that penetrate our space craft is the same reasonning NASA officials give as being one of the top reasons manned space missions out into the solar system are hindered, (ie, radiation)
