Stefanyshyn-Piper now at the end of the mast canister swinging the blanket boxes out on the forward wing...looks like it's done.

The ground is ready to start the P3-P1 upper tray work; discussing whether to finish current steps in work on the SARJ.

Anybody have any further thoughts on that 20-sec blinking object? They had promised not to jettison anything during this EVA but that looks like an obvious explanation -- if we can identify what object, cover, blanket, whatever got loose.
By the way, I think your site clock is fast by a few minutes. I note posts coming up with time tags about 3 minutes ahead of my WWV watch display time.

Maybe a nearby satellite reflecting at that moment the light in the correct direction?

From the images you posted it looked like lens flare, I take it you think otherwise.

Really does give you an idea of scale, doesn't it.
How's their timeline? Missed the last note on that (Rob Navis I assume, seen as this is great coverage).

It is Jim - we'll sort it (job for the webwizards).

Might want to consider increasing the time-sync frequency for your servers...or is that a manual thing?

"From the images you posted it looked like lens flare, I take it you think otherwise."
Now that I've looked at the images again, I suspect a lens effect too. Does its brightness vary with that of other apparitions along that optical line where the other flares also align?
Maybe it'll show up on the 'space UFO' websites shortly.

Is that schedule on the left screen available on L2? I havn't been able to locate it...
Edit:
My error I think since that is the ISS controlroom.
Not even sure if it's a schedule

Did the PAO say that they are 90 mins ahead of schedule?! They must have expected big problems when planning for this EVA. That's a good thing that they don't have any of those problems.

That left front screen IIRC, is a combination of cautions and warnings, items in work, and work scheduled.

It'll of been an optical illousion on the lens, via flare, which are the mainstay of UFO sites

Re mystery flare -- I really doubt it's a 'nearby satellite', they would have much greater angular rates in the FOV. If it's real, it's something off the ISS. Let me check with other sources -- including radar tracking. What was the clock time of that scene again?
