Location: STS Atlantis (in Earth orbit), , In orbit

Media report of early AM 9/19/2006 space "debris," yet original NASA audio feed described an "object."

NASA feed from shuttle while docked at the international space station clearly shows and audio describes an "object" caught on camera moving with earth in background. This is NOT clearly a "craft" but nor is it clearly "debris" as now being reported on CNN. NASA was supposedly holding a briefing at noon eastern time but this was not shown on television as POTUS was addressing the UN at the time. This report is NOT to suggest that there was a craft however the use of term "debris" is objectionable when the initial observer used the term object. "Debris" is prematurly conclusive. The object may have changed direction which could indicate it was in spiral or out of control or that it made a controlled change.Please wait for more information.
