Cosmonauts conducting a spacewalk at the ISS may have had something of an interstellar audience as footage of the event features a peculiar moment wherein two silvery UFOs eerily appear out the darkness of space. The very weird scene occurred last Wednesday as Sergey Prokopyev and Dmitri Petelin were reportedly dispatched to attach some debris shields to the space station as well as perform a test of an enormous robotic arm that had been created for the ISS by the European Space Agency. The somewhat high-profile extravehicular activity of the cosmonauts was streamed online by NASA as it unfolded, which is when some attentive viewers caught sight of the unusual objects.
Highlighted in the video above, during the spacewalk, a small silver object seemingly manifests out of nowhere off in the distance and is joined by another orb-like anomaly moments later. The pair of puzzling UFOs subsequently vanish from view a few seconds later. As one might imagine, some online observers have suggested that the oddities were alien in nature, since they remain in place rather than move through space as one would expect from a satellite. Meanwhile, more skeptical viewers argue that the objects are merely space junk or perhaps some kind of glitch in the video feed. What do you think appeared during the spacewalk?
