What lights up, moves [quickly], stops, moves [quickly] again and then disappears in empty black space?

Was anything launched on Feb 28th?

What leaves Earth crossing 200+ miles in a second? (2:40 in +)

I think in terms of a mathematical probability that ET life exists, odds are slim but the probability does exist. As deceptive as our govt is, im damn sure that even if aliens invaded and declaired war, they would blame a flock of rabid geese or terrorists and lie to the bitter end.

As for Steven Hawkings statements on potential encounters, I find it highly odd that such a brilliant man would make such a bold statement that is filled with bias. Denoting that an alien encounter would be similar to when the english invaded the native americans. Most species develop a natural equilibrium with nature and its surroundings, humans are the most destructive invasive species that behave like a virus. I find it bold to assume that ET life would behave like humans, and if they were rogues in need of fuel or food, given their intelligence, attempting to overtake an alien world on limited internal resources would be a suicide mission.

Im sure NASA or the Feds will say this is a speck of dust or some other random bullshit cover up excuse.

You can't even tell how far away it is from the camera nor can you assume it's very far away (ie, a long ways in the distance). Thus, it might only move a meter or two in a second if it is close to the camera.

You can clearly tell thats much farther than a meter or two by the way it fades in and out and appears with depth...

Clearly?

For one, it looks nearly transparent, it looks flat and without form and it definitely doesn't show much (if any) "depth". It could be a bubble with pressure kicking it out, it could be debris, it could be anything.

Exactly... it could be anything. Thus the title... something odd. You made the assumption to what I was eluding to. All I'm saying is that there's clearly a depth difference. I don't know what it is...

I leave open the possibility that there is intellignet life floating around the universe, and could be buzzing around in little spaceships at this very moment. I am still a skeptic. Skepticism is healthy. Throw something like Rendlesham in my face, its a little creepy, the old army dudes seem sincere, but I need hard proof. Tangible physical proof.

I try not to make fun of the Yoofies. But when the Yoofies lose me is when they post a dozen videos just like this one and say "Look at THIS!!!!! Dun dun DAHHHHHH!!!!!"

Oh look. A speck. On video. Oh wow. It moved. It can not possibly anything other than SPACE ALIENS!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of these videos are easily explained away by speck of floating dust in space, illuminated by the camera light and depth of field illusions. Their movement is often caused by thruster nozzles on the shuttle or the equipment the spacewalkers use, which you can HEAR in the video.

The Yoofies go nuts, but both videos show me nothing. I will say if the Aliens look like Seven of Nine, let em invade.

By the way. It seems to reason that the one agency that would be flush with tons of cash and prestige if they had proof of flying saucers would be NASA. We would be running to give them trillions. They stand nothing to gain by being in on a conspiracy, and everything to lose.
