UFO captured on CNN Discovery Launch Video - TWICE !!

To whom it may concern, I was watching CNN's video footage of the Discovery Space Shuttle launch and I believe that a "ufo" is caught on tape during the launch - TWICE!!!!. At the time of the launch there was a 40 mile "no fly zone" around the shuttle. In fact, two f-16's were sent out to intercept a small plane that came within that zone... here's the link to that story: http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/space/07/28/shuttle.plane/index.html Anyway, here are the details: First appearance is at the 20-21 second mark... watch the top left corner of the screen... it flys by through the clouds....

The second appearance is at the 31-32 second mark... watch the middle left of the screen... it flys BACK towards the shuttle and then DISAPPEARS!!!!! Here is the link to the CNN video homepage: http://www.cnn.com/video/ Once there, I had to click to view the "Space Shuttle Update" then on the right side navigation is an option for "More technology video"...

once there, click to view the "Shuttle Discovery Launches" video.

I am interested to know your thoughts regarding this strane object being so close to the shuttle at the time of launch...

Please look at this and tell me what you think. If you come back and say "David you're just crazy..." then OK! I can handle that...
