Objects Moving Away From Space Staion ( ISS ) www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJIC2wounwg&feature=player_embeddedThe spacewalk Tuesday was meant to replace a video camera and update cable connections to a module of the International Space Station. However, the question every space buff wanted an answer to is: "What was that I just saw floating away?" Two objects drifted away during astronauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Mikhail Kornienko's six-hour assignment. When the first one swam by, even NASA was befuddled as to what it was. "Meanwhile here on the ground in Houston, flight controllers have been taking a look at the object seen floating away earlier in the spacewalk around 12:44 a.m. Central time," said the voice on the live NASA feed of the spacewalk. "Still working to identify exactly what that object was, but they were able to determine that it does seem to have floated below the space station and it should not pose any sort of a problem for the space station as far as posing a debris threat." Later, NASA spokesman Rob Navias said the object may have been a clamp used to attach cables, and it might have been left outside during a previous spacewalk. An hour or so after the first fly-by, a small round object made its way into the darkness of space. "Team here moving the cameras to follow another object that seems to have floated away," the NASA voice said this time. "A small round object that you can see in the middle of the screen here... Possibly a washer or something similar." Navias said officials will do a photographic analysis to figure out what it was. But, he said, "It's not unusual at all to have one or two objects float away during the course of a six-and-a-half hour procedure outside an orbiting space station." The astronauts replaced a video camera that will monitor the docking of future Automated Transfer Vehicles, or supply ships. They will then attach cables connecting the rest of the station to the Russian Rassvet research module.

I sent this morning an Email to both NASA and the Russian Federal Space Agency otherwise known as Roscosmos, upon a different matter I am researching, i'll see how long and what reply i get from that for that, then maybe we could ask them for any info on this incident.

Good luck on getting a reply back from NASA.
I dont think what were seeing in this video is a UFO its more likely to be some space junk off another mission

Yes I agree the object looks 'Dead', it is spinning slowly as in 'without power', i isn't looking like anything intellingently controlled, plus we don't know how big it is and we don't know the distance or anything.
Space Junk is most likely explanation.
For this sightings at least.

I didn't hear them say that? Infact the Astronaunts had to be told where to look as they couldn't see it.

This is off The space.com website: A lost tool and washer marred an otherwise routine spacewalk by two Russian cosmonauts outside the International Space Station Tuesday. Russian cosmonauts Fyodor Yurchikhin and Mikhail Kornienko spent six hours and forty-two minutes outside the orbiting lab replacing a broken camera and installing cables on a Russian room to help outfit it as a new docking port. At one point - around 1:45 a.m. EDT (0645 GMT) – the spacewalkers accidentally lost an unidentified object that was visible spinning slowly as it floated farther and farther away from their perch on the side of the space station. [Photo of the lost tool floating away] "What is it?" one cosmonaut asked in Russian. "It looks like it's a handle or an attachment fixture – yes, it's an attachment fixture," the other cosmonaut replied, according to an English translation. The spacewalkers were en route to a work site on the station's Zvezda module, carrying reels of cables they planned to wire up to the station's Rassvet (Russian for "Dawn") research room. The cosmonauts speculated that the lost item was a tool to secure the cables in place once they are installed. If so, the loss isn't serious. "All right, very good, we're probably going to be using wire anyway to attach," a spacewalker said. About an hour later, another unidentified item accidentally floated off into space. This small object appeared to be a washer. The lost tools will temporarily become new pieces of space junk floating in Earth orbit, and should eventually be destroyed as they burn up in Earth's atmosphere.

I think this is a case of over analysing, Occam's razor applies here I think.
We are all after the 'Extra-Terrestials' and want to clutch so much to be everything we see and cannot understand.
