Subject: UFO sighting hellos, My name is [Firstname] [Name], I'm 22 and a resident of Nice. I write to you to report an 'anomaly'(let's call it that way)that I saw by chance on a space image from the ASTRONOMY PICTURE OF THE DAY website dating from April 23, 2007. http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html Whereas the soyuz shuttle approaches the ISS, it is possible to observe, very small, on the left, in the clouds, a shining point with a very light dark mass around it. The shining point seems to be the reflexion of the sun on a surface, which would indicate that it is not a matter of a dust or a reflection. Moreover, at picture's real size, one does see well the dark and round aspect of the object. It might be merely a satellite, but the distance compared to the Earth appears a little weak to me. Or then it could be unspecified junk. Or perhaps something else... That's it, that's it... |

Taking into account the extremely low resolution of the object in question, it is impossible to distinguish if it is a stratospheric balloon, a satellite, or some closer junk, or somehting else.
