STS-75 Tether Incident
On Sunday, February 25, 1996, the Space Shuttle Columbia deployed an experimental tether into orbit. The experiment was called the Tethered Satellite System (TSS- 1R) and it's purpose of this was to attempt to generate electricity by utilizing Earth's magnetic field.
Unfortunately the tether broke so the experiment was not a success, although approximately five hours of data were recorded.
What really made "The Tether Incident" famous was the appearance of many unidentified flying objects (UFOs) clearly visible in the NASA footage. Conspiracy theorists rejected NASA's explanation of space debris and ice particles...

Yup.That's life.After Mointain biking all day in the beautiful outdoors I'm gonna go out let loose and and mingle with some women.You know what women are right? I doubt it.I bet you had a lot of friends in grade school.
Ah close, you're Canadian, that's not so bad. Still, Halloween is not something to celebrate over here - it's just an excuse for kids to vandalise your property sadly.
Well Hello to your wife.That is correct I am Canadian and situated in Vancouver.I do the North shore and Whistler on a regular Basis.Banshee is a nice bike.Their headquartered right hear in Van.I also have a couple or rides one being an 08 Norco Six 3. Cheers n Ride On!! ; )
Also.I'm not disagreeing with you as to the appearance of these objects which is due to a camera effect.One good point is that you never see side views if they are disc shaped.Probably orbs.Also The notches always appear to be in the 1 & 7 o'clock positions.These still appear to be intelligently controlled because some of these objects appear to speed up,slow down and alter their flightpath.Check this vid out : The STS75 "Tether Incident" - FORENSIC ANALYSIS.
Yes, well spotted on the fact that none of the objects ever appear edge-on (clue #1), and again well spotted re the notches (clue #2). Both of these clues are actually evidence (there's more) for the objects being close to the camera and therefore way out of focus. This renders any small object disc-like (called a 'circle of confusion'), and the notches follow an FOV dependant pattern. I have a video which breaks down this pattern if you'll care to look.
The explanation for the notches is that a circle of confusion will always have features determined by the design of the lens, and if there are any obstructions around its periphery, they will impinge upon the resultant image. Something like a circlip (aka snap ring) for example. Which parts of the impinging object come into play depends on an object's angle relative to the optical axis.
The movement is also explainable, but i'm not sure it's worth my while. Clues: gravity and drag.
