Hale also said a video camera inside the bay picked up an object noticed by the ground crew. NASA is now trying to determine what it is, and exactly how it ended up out there in space. "There is a very small black object which because we moved the camera around a couple of times we know is not one of those camera lens artifacts, it's not a piece of lent on the lens, or a reflection into the camera," Hale explained. He said although NASA doesn't know how large the object is, it can confirm that it has been circling the Earth in the same orbit as the shuttle.
