The video was taken from the STS48 Shuttle camera. This sort of phenomena appears to be more prolific over areas where thunderstorms are occurring. It is almost as if these UFOs are attracted to energy discharge – perhaps a certain variety of UFO can utilize it in some manner.
Everything in the video is not edited. The movements of these objects make it impossible that they are “ice crystals”. Any other ideas?
Those are little blobs of fuel from a leaky Reaction Control System (RCS) thruster. They’re inches or feet away, not miles.
This is a common occurance…

…which is why they appear in so many “UFO” videos from so many missions.
When the shuttle fires one of the many thrusters, you’ll see a bunch head away at high speed. Or you’ll see a bunch floating near the camera suddenly move away – it’s actually the shuttle that’s moving.
I agree that is a possibility Roger, however the thruster is not so precise that it can only affect one of the blobs.
