Incredible footage has shown a “UFO” narrowly missing the SpaceX rocket on its way to the Space Station - just hours before the astronauts on board were told to brace for a crash in a second near-miss.
The round object has been conveniently lablled as "space debri by NASA"

Technically it's unidentifiable so yes....UFO
The F is what I was questioning. It's a UOO if it's orbiting.

Yes the object was actually 45km away but if you look at the image it seems quite large....what the heck is it?
Two different events are getting scrambled together in the news and social media yapping, the collision possibility and the moving object video.
Those are not the same event.
That object in that image/video isn't 45km away, it passes between camera and receding stage, and in fact comes out of the bundle of wiring at upper left at around 5:02 here,
Green arrows bracket that blob,
The moving object in the video is,

As the Dragon capsule containing the people separated from the Falcon 9 second stage a small, circular fragment drifted across the screen, floating between the recently parted sections of the spacecraft.
It remains unknown if this was a piece of debris or a fragment of the spaceship itself, but it posed no threat to the mission. The most likely explanation is it was a mechanical part of the mission which was prised loose by the enormous forces created by the detaching segments.

Any boffins want to explain how ice can look like a projectile?
