I would say Springer is right on the money on this one, if you speed up the video you'll notice the particles form a distinct "orbital" type nature that shows they are coming from behind the camera and following a path away from the camera, rather than launching from earth and upwards, as it seems at the normal speed of the video.
EDIT: @ paranoiaFTW - it's a lightning storm i think

Speculation is fun, but without knowledge of the sunlight illumination conditions, it's pretty pointless. And Martyn won't let you find out the actual illumination conditions. Any speculation why NOT??
Why does it look liek ther eis a bunch of explosion on the ground in the upper left region?

If you see with your eyes, you're the only critter on Earth. The rest of us see with our brains based on eye input compared with memory of previous perceptions, and this 'seeing' depends on a lifetime's training in ordinary earthside views.
When you look at space views and try to interpret them in earth terms, it's a recipe for misinterpretation and self-deception, and there's no better example of this than the 'space shuttle UFO videos".
Until you at least admit to yourself that your lifetime's observational training could mislead you, you're hopelessly self-misled.
And you're then a perfect 'UFO buff'.
Me too Cole, it's quite clear that everything seen other than stars is in Earth orbit, other than a very brief shooting star. You only have to run back and forth the complete video with the pointer. There is also some, what looks like a video artifact in the in the centre, tiny flashing points of light, and that's it. I do wish this OP would shy away from this type of headline-grabbing title, especially when the reality is so different. It's like the boy who cried Wolf! then one day?

This was what I sorted through 4 pages to see if someone beat me to the punch. My thoughts exactly upon first view. The orbital path of these objects is obvious to me, as they cross into sunlight, they become visible, and clearly head away from the camera, not straight out across the field of view out into space.

That's so convenient: a blank check to ignore any testimony from people who actually work with these technologies and events. Talk about a closed-minded self-blindered reality-free speculationist! Wow.
MAJOR GORDON COOPER:
You can read from many sources:
"One of the original Mercury astronauts and the last American to fly in space alone. On May 15, 1963 he shot into space in a Mercury capsule for a 22 orbit journey around the world. During the final orbit, Major Gordon Cooper told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea's tracking radar."
And:
"Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting."[ex/] credit site for information www.ufologie.net...
Mercury 9 and Gemini 5 astronaut Gordon Cooper talks about his UFO sightings and experiences.[ex/] This was posted in 2007 on youtube from a broadcast on one of the networks .
I will sight other Nasa astronauts if you wish here on my thread that have confirmed UFO activity while in Space near Earth.
Being that you have connections within Nasa I am surprised you do not talk about these astronauts such as Gordon Cooper .
Will you explain to him what he saw?
Blessings and Peace,
CmdrAleon
