QuoteThere is a strange picture in the photographic archives of NASA. To summarize, the picture was taken by the team of STS-105 , launched into orbit on August 10, 2001 from the Kennedy Space Center shuttle. The photo appears to show the silhouette of a snake "flying" close to the edge of Earth's atmosphere.
What could it be? It is difficult to determine the size of the object that can not be determined since the distance of the camera is taken. Is it just junk orbiting? Any dirt on the comrade? Or could it be one of those strange life forms yet undiscovered? While biologists are convinced that outer space is not suitable for the birth of life, a Russian astrophysicist, Dr. Godanskii VI, argues that there are significant amounts prebiotic material that have accumulated in the regions surrounding nebulae or giant clouds of gas floating in the universe. Over time, this material, with the same laws that allow life on our planet, may have evolved in some way of life, adapting to extreme living conditions as open space. [ See original image, NASA ]. Supporting the Russian astrophysical theory, it must be said that there are dozens of organic compounds have been identified in space, some as resins, formaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and cellulose. Out there are an abundance of organic elements such as to allow the evolution of life even in the form of "snake".
Astronaut Story Musgrave Interview
OMNI: What inexplicable things have you seen out there?
Musgrave: You see satellites. I've seen Mir go by within 28 miles; other satellites and you don't know what they are, but maybe just space debris. All kinds of debris come off space ships, especially at the back end after the main engines shut down and you open the doors: ice chips, oxygen or hydrogen, stuff dumped from the engines. On two flights I've seen and photographed what I call "the snake," like a seven-foot eel swimming out there. It may be an uncritical rubber seal from the main engines. In zero g it's totally free to maneuver, and it has its own internal waves like it's swimming.Space Story (http://www.spacestory.com/omni_part_1.htm)(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dp3jxEmntT0/UU1hTk0yMyI/AAAAAAAAZNw/JncHNvwol5Q/s1600/sneke2.jpg)

Original NASA image STS105-703-38-3(http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/sseop/images/ISD/highres/STS105/STS105-703-38_3.JPG)
I had posted a slightly different version of what follows in the "The Case for Critters" discussion thread.
That looks more like something on the surface of the photo, as several other dark "features" can be seen on the original photo, available here (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/photo.pl?mission=STS105&roll=703&frame=38).
Also, the photo just before that (this one (http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/scripts/sseop/photo.pl?mission=STS105&roll=703&frame=37&QueryResultsFile=13780399926841.tsv)) shows the same area, meaning that it was taken just before the other photo, and there's nothing on the photo.
All those photos have signs of things on the photo surface that were captured when the photos were scanned.
