here is what nasa says so far......reported about an hour ago
A spokesman at NASA headquarters in Washington, D.C., Al Feinberg, told WorldNetDaily that the space agency could not comment until it has an original of the photograph, but said, "It sure looks goofy to me."
Pat Ryan, a NASA spokesman at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, told WND yesterday he had heard about the picture, but "nobody is going to say anything one way or another at this point."
"Photos like that need to be given to the people doing the investigation so they can consider whether it's an important part of what we need to know," Ryan said.
After receiving a link to the photograph from WND, Kylie S. Moritz of the Johnson public-affairs office promised to get a response from a NASA engineer, but remarked, "It certainly looks suspect to me."
Sam Segal, who is in charge of Maariv's U.S. office, in New York, told WND that the photo actually belongs to NASA, since it was taken from NASA video footage.

again me posting what is not as yet false does not show me to be a fraud. Then you best call everyone that printed it a fraud.
The photo gained worldwide attention through further publication by the Italian daily Corriere Della Sera, coverage by Agence France-Presse and the Australian Broadcasting Corp., and a link on the Drudge Report.
Here is what YOU said when you posted that picture:
One of Israel's leading newspapers published a photograph it claims as evidence of two cracks in the left wing of the Columbia more than a week before the space shuttle broke up on re-entry, killing all seven crew members
You were shown the video which that still came from.
You were told repeatedly that it was doctored and NOT two cracks in the wing but you still kept it up.
again me posting what is not as yet false does not show me to be a fraud.
When you have been shown repeatedly by better minds on FR than yours, and when you have SEEN the video it was taken from, and you continue to say it hasn't been proven a fake, then yes, I can call you a fraud.
Then you best call everyone that printed it a fraud.
If you had read ANY of the threads about that picture that were linked to you, you would have seen we did just that. Repeatedly. On every thread.
You are virtually the only person on FR who will not admit it was fraudulently presented. To keep this up just proves how unstable you are.
