Note the times that these photos were taken on each. The tubular object seems to turn from the Shuttle within less than 3 minutes. Granted it could be space junk, but why would they even bother photographing it, and posting it on the NASA Image Exchange Site.
Interesting to say the least.........
If you wish to confirm these photos go to http://nix.larc.nasa.gov and enter a search string for UNKNOWN and OBJECT.. It will give you about 25 pages of photos but only a few are interesting. The photos below start on page 4 and continue scattered through the next few pages on the site.
