First impression is that it's a camera trick, like most of these 'weird space bubble' videos. It reminds me of cells you'd see under a microscope that are out of focus.
Then again, I just woke up with a hangover, so everything is a little fucked up atm.

The astonaut saw it too and had no reason to lie so that rules out a camera trick.

Sorry, but there is not enough information in the clip to rule out, or in, anything. For example, did he see the object with his own eyes before filming?

What camera trick even remotely resembles what we see here?

looks to me like a hose or something similar just floating around. rotating may make it appear to be undulating.

There was one "trick" recently where people were convinced that a security camera had recorded ghosts. Turned out to be out-of-focus bugs walking on the lens. However, I didn't make a claim that it was a camera trick. Read carefully, "there is not enough information in the clip to rule out, or in, anything."

whats to rule? it was a piece of space debris that was in rotation. simple fact.

I assume you have a reference to back up your "simple fact"?

well what else could it be? its an object in zero gravity rotating. whether it was staged or not didnt seem relevant to the topic. you just wanted to know what it was. camera trick? no, its movements look more realistic than anything hollywood can muster, and i have to assume what i observe is fact untill otherwise proven....and dont get me wrong, i would love for this to be some space eel from mars or something, but looking at it from a realistic point of view, its just a piece of...something rotating around in zero g.

In other words, you have no more to support your claim that it is space junk than Ego Death has to support his claim that it is "alien" (assumption on my part towards Ego Death's position).
Although I agree that space junk is a likely explanation, there isn't enough from the short clip and interview presented above to know for certain. For all we know, it could be space junk floating around inside the camera (which is why I asked if he saw it with his own eyes or only through the camera).

Why is the background blue with clouds? Compare that video to other spacecraft pictures, with a black background. It sure looks like a microvideo of a single celled organism that was composited over a picture of the sky taken from earth. RR

have you ever seen a picture of earth taken from space?
that seems kinda ignorant to me. conspiracy theories are retarded, in my opinion. and why would they want to fake something like this. you guys are overthinking it. take it as it is. its nothing more until its proven to be. and right now, all i see is a piece of something floating around.
now dont get me wrong, id like to think it some space lifeform, but honestly, what i can see tells me otherwise. if, in ten years, it turns out that someone found it was actually life, then you can say "i toldja so", but till then, im taking it at face value.

No its not likely to be a composite at all.
For starters NASA released this footage!
Also about the hose thing, how does a rubber hose have internal motion.
The astronaut and video clearly shows that this 'thing' has internal motion.
He also states that he saw it twice on seperate occasions - was the hose following him?
That really means that it is most likely to be 1. Biological or living 2. Electronic
A bit of hose in space certainly does not create an internal movement.
You are right to some extent seuss. I think it is likely that this thing is an entity of some form but only from logical deduction and yet I always remain open to other possibilities. My reasoning cannot justify this as being a 'hose' though.

... about anything... from a bit of the space craft that is designed to fall off to a bit inside the camera floating around to little microbots from planet x to a reflection on the clouds from who knows what. There isn't enough information to make any kind of real determination.

correct....however what info i can see tells me its just a bit of hose.
as for the internal motion, im not sure he meant self-propelled. to me it simply looked like something moving in zero g. theres really not alot of resistance up there, unless it were actually IN the spacecraft. all it would need is some starting motion, and it wont stop. i think thats what he saw.
*good conversation, btw*

this is old, I remember first seeing this on the nasa channel, and it was in space, you could see apart of the shuttle and the curvature of the earth, that video looks very crop and zoomed in. They had a part where the thing was wiggling over the blackness of space and you could really see the dimensions of it. It has a strange wiggle.

yeah, no more dmt for you...
i think thats rather interesting, about the dimensions. what did it look like? was it tubular, round, abstract?
