In my opinion, the Circle of Africa as the first footage is called, is probably the best UFO tape caught by NASA. It is truely spectacular, especially as the last orb moves into the screen from the top, hovers down to earth settling into the exact position where it illuminates.

Dr Musgrave and former astronaut talks of his sts-80 mission. He explains how he was in awe when he saw the footage of the craft coming out of the thunder storm.

Cosmonaut Viktor (and I forget the second name) saw an intelligently controlled craft, took pictures and spoke to ground control... when arriving back to Earth, the pictures where taken by NASA, and the audio was never released.

Call the Romulans and inform them that their cloaking devices are failing.

The thunderstorm video was wonderful.

However, I can't get too excited about semi-transparent orbs.  Anything that is semi-transparent would seem to indicate to me that it is a reflection, play of lights, light artifact, or something.

I have no idea about the other objects.  Some reports are of weather balloons.  Thunder clouds are very dynamic. 

The last issue is space junk. 
20^th and 21^st century space junk will be the thorn in the side of 22^nd century space travellers.

Much of what is being photographed seems to be small objects very close to the rockets and shuttles.  I.E.  Stuff they brought along with them.  Ice, or whatever.  Sharing their orbit is safe for the current mission, but could be deadly for the next.

You know.... If we managed to make metamaterials, objects would look transparent. We have already made many advances in this area, and cloking devices are already on the blueprints of many scientists who know such a thing is possible. Perhaps these objects are using metamaterials to appear ghostly.

But yes, the Circle of Africa is one amazing video.
