Default Now that was strange....

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.
