Well, we did see a plane nearby about 15-20 sec. after launch. Could that one be tha NASA plane?danduc
Well it could just be debris, that's as close as it can get I guess lol, I am just saying no door opened at all before it happened.
That kinda would be wrong.The comm person in charge of updating us says that the doors open, and then they open, and he says it right at around :20, and says the doors are now opening, and THEN THEY OPEN. He said all that after the object appeared, indicating no doors where open BEFORE the object appeared.
Maybe that could be the reason a debris just teared apart?
We all know there's plenty of videos on youtube where people have assumed there's fleets of UFOs dancing around orbiters - when it's footage of a water dump
I'm surprised to see the payload doors open so rapidly. Don't you want to be slow and deliberate in space? What's the rush?

There is a Notam in effect but could it be the Nasa airplane? Does it fly in the area when the lift-off is taking place?Dan

Looks like it came right off the door latch. For the few seconds before :11, you can see a little movement on that latch. Even after that object lets go, there is still something loose there.As far as fading in and out of clouds, it looks to me that the object, which is very close to the shuttle, is just rotating. It appears to be disk shaped so when it rotates edge on, it is very hard to see for a split second.
Isn't the object .... kinda too fast to even be a plane ?
