Numerous UFOs have been spotted in space near the International Space Station (ISS), a couple of hundred miles above Earth.

Videos have cropped up on YouTube showing images taken by NASA cameras of objects of different shapes, some moving very slowly, others rapidly hurtling through space.

On Christmas Day, YouTube poster Streetcap1 recorded video of a silvery object, moving slowly near the curvature of Earth. At :46 into the following video, the object can be seen in faraway perspective.

Streetcap1 also recorded the following two objects-one circular, the other disc-shaped-outside the ISS on New Year's Day. Could it be a mere window reflection?

"Spacecraft-generated 'dandruff' has been seen since the very first human spaceflights, when the non-intuitive relative motions and impossible-to-judge distances in the earthly environment of outer space tricked observers into misinterpreting visual stimuli," according to James Oberg, a former space engineer who specialized in NASA space shuttle operations and is currently the NBC News Space Consultant.

Oberg doesn't give much credence to any speculation that unidentified flying objects near the ISS originate from an alien civilization.

But he also feels it's important for people to keep looking at camera feeds which may result in visual information that can help prevent potential technical problems for the ISS.

"It's good to keep scanning space video for possible anomalies and reporting them quickly," Oberg said.

"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 because a clue that should have been seen out the window was overlooked," he said.

It looks like these "UFOs" are about the size of large city. Here is a close-up:

Where's Scranton? They left Scranton out of the illustration!

Assuming that it's for Blish's Cities in Flight.

And before this it was weather baloons.

Does any one know how old God is?

Could it be that he was around long before he started creating earth? if so what might he have been doing some where else, might be we are not the only civilization.
