An unidentified disc-shaped object passed within 82 feet of the International Space Station, according to Attack of the Fanboy.
Online researchers examining NASA livestream footage raised claims about the close pass during an uncrewed cargo docking.
The sighting centers on video captured during an October 15 cargo launch aboard a SpaceX Dragon rocket. UFO researcher Scott Waring estimated the object measured roughly 23 feet across and traveled past the orbiting laboratory’s solar panels at a distance of 82 feet, as reported by the Daily Mail and cited by BroBible.
Waring asserted that the object possessed sufficient scale to inflict severe damage upon the station had an impact occurred. WION noted the researcher’s warning that the object could have destroyed the station had it hit it.
Additional footage reportedly showed a separate unidentified craft moving around the SpaceX Dragon cargo ship in an erratic fashion.
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,

Despite the footage broadcast on public channels, NASA control, the station crew, and representatives aboard the approaching spacecraft made no public acknowledgment of.
The crew on board the DragonX said nothing about it, not NASA control, not even the station itself,

Agency records show the Dragon spacecraft flew an uncrewed, autonomously docked mission that delivered upwards of 6,300 pounds of scientific hardware and supplies to the outpost. International Business Times UK reported that the agency lists no credible evidence connecting unidentified anomalous phenomena to extraterrestrial origins.
While the Orbital Debris Program Office maintains watch over low Earth orbit hazards using the U.S. Space Surveillance Network to track objects larger than 10 centimeters, official mission logs recorded no avoidance maneuvers or emergency alerts linked to the October broadcast.
Independent analysts emphasize that determining the exact trajectory, distance, and identity of objects appearing in orbital video feeds lacks authenticated telemetry data. International Business Times UK noted that bright objects crossing a camera’s perspective can create false impressions of close proximity in the absence of reliable reference points.
Waring acknowledged the limitations of analyzing compressed video feeds while maintaining confidence in the significance of the sighting.
Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe this isn’t a UFO,

But for me, this just confirms that intelligent life is out there.
