It's the tether for the ISS. Nice try though :P


prove it



Prove that it's not.

the dimensions... does it look like it has broken off.. maybe it's just a super sized washer.. maybe even plastic so as not to short out the pins on the underside of the pcb... you my friend are a donut.

There's my Frisbee, was wondering where it went off to.
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.

Re: Just on Nasa TV! STS119 Discovery encounters UFO!
I'm sure all the truthers will just bombard me with Shill replies, but for those actually interested, the view was from the docking bay. The camera that operates there is similar to a periscope, in that its off angle viewed using a spherical prism as both a lens and an angular modifier. The "object" you see is actually a lens flare as seen through that prism. If you look at the big screen view in beginning, the sun is off to the upper right and moving OUT of field. The lens flare moves in the opposite direction as would be expected. On the other recorded view of this I saw, you can clearly see the struts in the docking window impede but don't completely obstruct the struts, making them appear transparent as the "object passes over them. This is again very consistent with basic optics. If the object were simply illuminated, the struts would remain as clear obstructions. Because the flare is an artifact of the viewing prism, its diffraction is internal and thus the two images will be additive, leaving a faint image of the struts.

Score one for the trolls who put that hysterical audio in the clip. They are high-fiving and watching with glee as this spreads across the interwebs and discredits those of us who do actually believe in the possibility of extra-terrestrials but aren't so anxious to see them that we find them lurking in every corner.

I wish I was a paid shill...It would probably be a raise.

yeaup.

compare that vid with the other vids of ufos buzzing the shuttle posted here:

Thread: UFOs buzzing the shuttle from 11/16/08 [VIDEO]

exact same ones.

the famous "thether incident" vid (google, youtube search) shows HUNDREDS of those fuckers swarming around...

That's not a "UFO"; that's a Living Sylph, a disembodied Soul of no-doubt great age and wisdom.

And furthermore, the Looking Glass and the Orion Constellations methods for looking into the future do no and cannot ACCOUNT for the activity of Sylphs (and Rods).

You can clearly see the object wrap around the strut as it passes the only thing that can do this is light therefore it is some sort of lens flare. Sorry to rain on everyones parade.

Re: Just on Nasa TV! STS119 Discovery encounters UFO!
once again, rather basic optics. you are looking at an object who's distance from the observer is measured in nautical miles. The magnification on the camera is rather HUGE. now pass small debris and dust ( a small cloud of which follws the ISS in orbit) and sidelight that with the brightest light we know of ( the sun). The fuzzy patterns and size of the objects are cause by diffraction ( read up on it). You can duplicate this by holding you hand up to a light then making the gap between your fingers as small as possible. You will start to see multiple gaps and multiple lines. As the gap, or the object, approaches a multiple of the wavelength of the light present, it bends slightly when passing the object creating regular appearing fuzzy edges. You can demonstrate this with a microscope (almost everyone has. Put a dirty slide on and focus just beyond the plate: instead of fine particles you'll get HUGE elaborate designs that look astonishingly like what you see in this video. The camera is focused on the tether, not the dust in between. This is mostly child splay for anyone with some decent science knowledge. I'm amazed by how easily people will buy into ridiculous explanations for simple phenomenon.
