There was a lengthy discussion about this video on another thread. What you are seeing there is not the orbiter -- it's actually an image distortion inherent in that kind of video camera. FOX News said that this video was recorded by an amateur on the ground, and there's no way in hell they could get that kind of magnification from 200,000 feet away.

I saw the same explanation. What appears to be the shape of the SS with the rear facing the camera is in fact a lens flare.
