A UFO is seen heading towards the Earth [ Captured from the ISS on January 5, 2013 ]



The object reappears on January 6 , 2013






What Do You Say ?

Its a good video, hard for me to tell. At first I was gonna call it a planet (still think it might be) but I figured Id be more open minded to the subject matter.

after watching this video a few times i dont think it is a ufo.. It kinda looks sluggish! I dont know it was weird.

Could be one of hundreds of satellites orbiting Earth. Not enough clear evidence to prove it is a UFO. Nice find though.

Not very ufo-y

Space debris?
Anything other than an intelligently controlled craft?

I was waiting for the 90 degree turn with massive velocity. Yet it never happened. Talk about anticlimactic.

It looks like a geostationary satellite.


Does UFO as a term, qualify for orbiting objects?

Looks like lens debris to me, although I'm certainly no expert. I would expect true UFO movement to be more linear and faster.

Planet , probably Jupiter , I believe it's unusually bright right now .

If would have been nice if you could have followed it below the horizon to see if it disappeared or was seen against the clouds .

Black knight sattelite

heh

I love NASA videos because they rule out at least a hundred and sixty seven things they're not. Plus I like sparring with a certain member

What I find interesting or telling is its movement. It's got a jerkiness to it however I'm not sure what that might be indicative of. Surely I would suspect another satellite (or any organic object for that matter) to effortlessly glide along and not be as halting.

I think this is something worth considering and finally a departure from the bird-bat-bug-balloon threads!

Thanks OP. Is this your video? I appreciated the flight map at the end. Doesn't help. But nice touch just the same!

"Occam's assassin" Too funny!! But Murphy is the one who needed to be axed. Anyway.....

It does seem we need to create a more updated dictionary huh? It will be so nice when our species telepathically communicates with patterns/images instead of words which actually keeps us divided. But, wrong thread for that rant.

I would think our estimated 75 year old term for 'UFO' holds up for objects out in the cosmos too. Perhaps we need a planetary vote.
But semantically speaking it may not be technically 'flying' rather guided in an orbit not of its own volition.

i thought the iss traveled at 17500 mph i may be wrong but that speed is not sluggish just my opinion

It's good to keep scanning space video for possible anomalies and reporting them quickly -- but please, give sharper information on exact date/time.

The reason is, there is always a real chance that it could be a genuine anomaly, either a spacecraft malfunction or other threat, expected or unexpected. In the past, missions have failed -- and at least one crew died -- because a clue that should have been seen out the window, was overlooked.

For that reason, 'false positives' should not be discouraged -- better a string of 'maybes' that turn out to be 'never-minds', than a more careful -- and shorter -- string of 'probables' that MIGHT well overlook a potentially life-saving -- or world-shaking -- clue.

Please keep eyes open and communications clear for 'possibles', and don't be discouraged.

Nop , not my video. This video is recorded by xfilecomander [ I think he is a Russian ]

What Do You Say ?

As Jim Oberg pointed out its important to keep an eye out as it could something of concern for those working up there.


I ask what the OP thoughts are? Alien, space deb re from the mission, lets see yours before we show you ours

What in the world does this mean?

How does it come from another star system when its a UFO?


UFO is an acronym for Unidentified flying object.

Unidentified meaning it cannot be identified to any aircraft or natural phenomena

Flying is a term used when in Earths atmosphere,

Object says that there is something physically there and not a illusion.

Star for you as that's what I think I'm seeing as well.
