I'm going to have a stab with 'space'.

Space is behind the ISS.

You can't see the entire ISS in that video, so anything you see behind the astronauts is likely to be more ISS... and behind that would be, well, space...

Space junk.

Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus

Swamp Gas?

Dang!

It's the solar panels. :rolleyes:

They are black and don't reflect light, hence why you can't really see them in that video.

Unless aliens stole them.

You mean that ring of dots at 3:30ish? Satellites maybe, I doubt it though. Maybe something reflecting off the camera?

Edit: Or maybe that ^

Sorry to disappoint but the sequence is sunlight reflecting from their jettisoned poop. They expel the poop into space in small units so it will hopefully degrade faster. NASA is covering up orbital pollution! The ISS crew is literally ****itting on San Jose, they don't want you to know!

What a stupid thing to say... it's clearly the space aliens trying their besterest not to be detected by showing up in just about every video NASA has ever filmed in orbit.

Well I did offer the alternative theory of aliens stealing the solar panels. If you look REALLY closely you can see the bricks they propped it up on.
