UFO: NASA STS-125 Atlantis UNIDENTIFIED OBJECT MAY 21 2009

STS-125 seems to have had many on-lookers if you know what I mean UFO wise.  Great post.

What is this post doing in Environment??

Wile Space environment is a branch of astronautics, aerospace engineering and space physics that seeks to understand and address conditions existing in space that affect the operation of spacecraft. A related subject - space weather - deals with dynamic processes in the solar-terrestrial system that can give rise to effects on spacecraft, but that can also affect the atmosphere, ionosphere and geomagnetic field, giving rise to several other kinds of effects on human technologies.However in the matter of Unidentified flying object (commonly abbreviated as UFO or U.F.O.) is the popular term for any aerial phenomenon whose cause cannot be easily or immediately determined. Both military and civilian research show that a significant majority of UFO sightings are identified after further investigation, either explicitly or indirectly through the presence of clear and simple explanatory factors (see Occam's Razor). The United States Air Force, who coined the term in 1952, initially defined UFOs as those objects that remain unidentified after scrutiny by expert investigators, though the term UFO is often used more generally to describe any sighting unidentifiable to the reporting observer(s). Popular culture frequently takes the term UFO as a synonym for alien spacecraft. Cults have become associated with UFOs, and mythology and folklore have evolved around the phenomenon. Some investigators now prefer to use the broader termunidentified aerial phenomenon (or UAP), to avoid the confusion and speculative associations that have become attached to UFO.One can there for conclude that UFO do belong into NP's STRANGE section or more specifically its UFO section.There for the question was and still is valid, Why was it in Environment?Maybe you have trouble with genuine and justified questions since all are usually anon comments and anon recommendations as well.
