Yes, I heard that as well, If it was anything at all, it was small, and with
a very low speed relative to both craft, so probably not a problem. Because
of the low lighting conditions, it was about 7 mins before sunrise, the
glare effects normally seen in cameras should not occur, unless there were
bright lights on one of the vehicles.

Just watched Discovery undock from ISS...

Could of sworn as Discovery moved away that it looked like something was
floating away from the Shuttle cargo bay in the general direction of ISS
(slightly to the left).

Whoever was controlling the camera on the shuttle immediately tried to
zoom
in on what ever this object was, but as they zoomed towards it, it began
to
look more of like a glare.

E. Collins mentioned it, and mission control said they were sure it was
some
type of glare.

Anybody else see this? I'm wondering if something wasn't tied down around
the docking collar, and when the shuttle moved away it floated out. It
looked to me like the object had a slow rotation going, but I can't be
sure.
Watching online.

Thanks.
