So, I tried clicking on the link and it says "We'll be right back"!! Damn! I hope they aren't editing it

Couldn't some of these be lens flare from the sun and/or anything in the foreground reflecting light towards the lens of the camera?

In other words, what is there that proves otherwise? Just trying to keep things in perspective here rather than just saying "OK, it must be a UFO".

Now, back in time..
The STS-75 footage looked alot to me like small objects close the lens being artifacted. In the full-length video of the event you can sometimes see small, solid objects go by slowly and then the "doughnut" artifacts closely following all of them in the same speed and direction. I believe the STS-75 event artifacting was probably exacerbated towards the end (around the time of the "fishbowl" effect you see) because of the sun coming over the horizon. But what alot of people also don't know is that the infamous STS-75 "UFO footage" was also videotaped on multiple orbits with the sun and the tether in different orientations as the tether drifted. At least that's what I've gathered from other sources on ATS. The camera hardware used to videotape the "tether incident" (The "TOP" camera) was also a multi-function device with multiple imaging capabilities. Because of this it had multiple lenses that could've easily made the artifacting worse. The whole time of that video the camera was basically focused on the tether. Anything close the camera would've obviously been artifacted and out of focus. Just my opinion though..

At first glance, the object in these new screenshots look more like lens flare to me than anything else. I'm just curious if anyone knows more? If we don't have the video it's hard to tell the movement of the object with relation to the potential light sources (which would give us an idea of whether or not lens flare is even a possiblity). If it moved independently and not in sync with either the sun or any other reflected sources in the FOV then it would be much more interesting. But does anyone even have the video? How did the object act when you watched it?

It's also true that lens flare can be created by sources of reflected light not in the FOV. That's why its important to see how the object reacts with relation to the source of the light and the movements of the camera.

THANKS!

Here's more. Unmistakable lens reflections. Donuts stationary in the field of view at:
1:00
13:30, note the changes with change in camera gain
And the image from the OP at 26:14. Note how the reflection again changes with the changes in camera gain.

Day six highlights

Well done yet again !!

If people read your thread properly and looked at all the pictures you posted they would not be coming up with the lens flare theory, due to the fact that the object was picked up on Astronaut Dave Wolf s helmet cam also.

Strange for both cameras getting lens flare at the same time. being that they are at different angles looking at the same object .

Thanks

Thank you Ocker!

I'm glad you've reminded us of that - it seems some members have already 'forgotten' that part.

*There is also a third camera involved: the one Dave Wolf used to photograph the object - I doubt that we will ever see the images from that camera.

There are multiple videos and images in this post and the discussions are going around the ones which really look like lens flares.

However the initial post by Exuberant1 clearly shows the astronaut grabbing his camera and then following the anomaly. Which means it is not lens flare but it is an object. Period.

The object can be debris, ice particles etc. etc. all that nonsense...But why would the astronaut grab his camera to follow such a regular object, which begs the question.

An angle which might be taken by skeptics could be, if it were really an alien craft why would a NASA astronaut try to expose it since we all believe they are trying to hide it.
Well, the answer would be my theory on the disclosure:

The sightings and visual proofs are increasing, the information is being distributed at an amazing rate with the internet. STS videos, insider confessions are being viewed by millions of people. They just can't control the information as well as they used to.
Which means they might be considering disclosure before something irrefutable happens and is acknowleged worldwide. They can't afford that cause it would blow up in their faces.
But since they can't just admit that they have been lying for decades they have to do it in a smoother fashion. Which is to act as if they are becoming aware of anomalies and then being curious about it. Acting to be on the same team with the ones who believed in extreterreterial life all along.
Then one day they'll be like "woah one of our astronauts captured this video. It might be an alien space craft. we're very excited about it. And see how honest we are. We've just learned about it and sharing it with you guys. Friends?"

Nice to see it unfolding.
