Mysterious UFO Spotted Near International Space Station In NASA Video

A mysterious object has been spotted flying by the International Space Station, sparking claims that astronauts just had a near-miss with a UFO.
The unidentified object was seen on October 15 as a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft was approaching the station with new supplies.
NASA's live stream of the docking captured the bright disc or small sphere moving steadily by the ISS moments after the broadcast began.
Scott C Waring of UFO Sightings Daily saw the object and said: 'This UFO was about seven meters [23 feet] across and could have destroyed the station had it hit it.'
'The crew on board the DragonX said nothing about it, not NASA control, not even the station itself,' he added.
The UFO researcher also claimed that the NASA broadcast captured another unidentified craft moving erratically around the Dragon cargo ship.
NASA’s report of the capsule's arrival described a normal docking that delivered more than 6,300 pounds of supplies, science experiments and a pair of roll-out solar arrays.
There was no mention of any close call, space debris threat, or UFO during the approach or docking last month.
Cameras following the cargo ship spotted a faint image passing the SpaceX vehicle on two separate occasions as it traveled over the Earth.
In both instances, the object appeared cone-like in shape and was bobbing back and forth while the capsule flew towards ISS.
'Do you see how they're moving very oddly? Moving like no aircraft we've ever seen or spacecraft. It doesn't conform to physics the way humans expect things to. The way it moves is bizarre,' Waring claimed in his breakdown of the recording on YouTube.
The object seen passing the Dragon spacecraft was very faint in the video, and Waring admitted he could not prove the image floating through the video was a legitimate UFO.
As for the object seen passing the space station, a camera on board the Dragon spacecraft captured the mysterious object which nearly collided with the ISS.
Waring estimated based on the size of the station that the UFO was approximately 82 feet away from hitting the structure's solar panels when it passed by.
The SpaceX camera continued recording the object for several seconds while it was fixed on the ISS. NASA's feed did not change position until the UFO had moved out of view and was safely away from the station.
The ISS has been struck many times by tiny micrometeoroids and orbital debris, but has never been hit by anything close to the estimated size of the object which passed it on October 15.
Vishnu Reddy, an astronomer at the University of Arizona, said in 2021 that even an object the size of a ping-pong ball 'would be catastrophic' if it struck in a critical area of the station – potentially causing a rapid loss of oxygen and pressure.
The ISS has already suffered one scare this year, as an air leak in the Russian-controlled side of the station forced the NASA astronauts on board to prepare for an emergency evacuation in June.
The crisis was averted and leaks repaired without needing to abandon the space station.
As for what passed the station, several NASA streams have captured unknown objects in Earth orbit, but the space agency has never acknowledged any of them to be extraterrestrial in origin.
The US government has also maintained for decades that no physical proof of UFOs or alien life has been recovered by NASA or the military.
'Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe this isn't a UFO. But for me, this just confirms that intelligent life is out there. It's watching us. It's scanning us and it wants to see what we're up to,' Waring said on November 1.
