NASA-UAP-D032, STS-80 Unidentified Object Image 3, 1996
A NASA photograph, the third of three, taken during Space Shuttle Columbia's STS-80 mission in 1996, showing an unidentified object in low-Earth orbit superimposed against the Earth.
During STS-80, flown between November 19 and December 7, 1996, astronauts aboard Space Shuttle Columbia captured three images of an unidentified object in low-Earth orbit. This file is the third image, in which the object sits near the center of the frame against the Earth below. The object appears to have continued along a trajectory passing between Columbia and the Earth. The record is image-only, so no source text is available to quote.
