The crew on board the International Space Station (ISS) have spotted an unidentified object outside the orbiting craft, on 7th February 2004.
Astronaut Michael Foale and his Russian colleague Alexander Kaleri last week observed "a 20-centimetre long strip of soft material" which was floating in space. For the moment. It's not clear what it is. US and Russian experts are studying photos sent by the crew to Earth to try and determine its origin. It seem to have posed no danger to the station or crew.
A possibility is that it could have been a piece of the station's insulation or a strip used to attach some technical equipment to the outside of the station.
However, it is possible that we may never find out what it was.
There was a similar incident on theRussian space station Mir. The cosmonauts saw a "shining object" which they filmed but experts who studied these images were unable to establish what the object was.
