When the space station reaches the dark side of the Earth these lights start showing. What are they?

What are these lights seen from the space station?
- Thread starter Observer
- Start date
You can see this object and the shadow it casts onto Earth below. The shadow follows the contour of the topography (mountains and clouds) and acts like a normal shadow. What is this object? A satellite? Is it that new moon in orbit they were talking about? There are at least 5 other shadows just like it on this camera angle but you cant see the objects that make them.
Definitely a fleet of UFO's. Sure, could be dirt on the lens, or junk in a similar orbit, but the much simpler answer is we are being invaded by fleets of UFOs that no one else can see.
If by any stretch of the imagination, you are intending to push or claim alien visitations, inter-dimensional beings or whatever, don't. This is the science sections and pushing that sort of rubbish needs to be in the fringes.

I can't get your link to work either.
From the video it looks as if most of the spots are artifacts of the camera (e.g. dirt in the optics) because they move with it, occupying always the same position in the field of view.
The ones that move relative to the field of view all seem to be moving from bottom to top, at constant speed. Top is the direction of travel of the space station in its orbit. If they are not artifacts, these objects seem to be in orbits between the space station and the earth. You would expect these to move faster as they are in a lower orbit. I'm not expert on what is up there but my understanding is there are plenty of satellites in orbits that circle the earth in 90 minutes, which is faster than the space station.
For the lights you describe, you would need to show some pictures.
Yes to me specks of dirt on lens and I didn't see dark side of earth with lights either
No and very very suspect such a minute object so apparently high would cast a shadow
Even more suspect would be a object casting a shadow without itself, being logically higher, not being visible

Good point. If it really cast a shadow like that on earth, it would be a shadow miles across and very obvious indeed to people on the Earth when it passed over them.Yes to me specks of dirt on lens and I didn't see dark side of earth with lights either

This image comes up on m computer as a blue square with a question mark in it. So it's no good, I'm afraid.
On the ISS HDEV camera here you can see three objects near the horizon. They never alter position.
The one that I showed you earlier that casts a shadow on the Earth is the boldest one easiest to see on the left.
What is your reaction to my post 12? Is my explanation plausible?
I think the one the left is a small asteroid because if you watch it close enough you can see it rotating at a diagonal angle and its shape is irregular. It also reflects light at a particular point of its rotation.
It has the appearance that it is tumbling randomly.
I initially thought it was dirt on the camera until I discovered the shadow following directly beneath the far left object.
I screenshot that myself and made it on my phone then uploaded it to a host because your site doesn't allow image uploading. You're not going to find an earlier posting of this photo.
Here is the camera address.

And here is a locator so you can see where the space station is.

It takes 90 minutes to orbit so half of that is going to be on the dark side.

The U.S. Space Force was just started so if they are craft they might be military they just aren't talking about it publicly.
