Chinese Spacewalk

So, with the sophisticated state of Chinese technology....can someone hazard a guess as to what floats past the right side astronauts helmet at 1:05 on the video?

Enough crouching tiger hidden spaceman, I'm tired of Chinese actors floating around on wires.

Looks like a bubble to me Innoc.

Like someone in a swimming pool? Say it isn't so! There's another at 2:33 IIRC.

There was a launch a little while ago. This doesn't look like a pool though. Seeing a spacewalk in a pool looks WAY different. Weird shit though.

My first thought(before watching the video) was "Michael Phelps"?

Air bubbles behave just as they do in water as they did in the video. Air doesn't rise 'up' in space.

True, but the video didn't look like water. No shimmering, no nothing except those strange bubble-like things in the video.

The "bubbles" don't appear to have a source. They aren't coming from a mask, or from beneath the astronauts. In fact, they are appearing out of no where and then floating up. It's more likely that they are a lens distortion than a bubble. Tin foil hats will need to be handed out I think.

So you're saying it's a weather balloon?

Lens distortion?

Really? Can you find me an example of another such video showing a lens distortion that is similar to that? Surely with the millions of videos out there we can find just one other such example?

And that's space.

Background looks fake as hell, and it sure does look like a bubble to me.

Well for one there are a series of videos that are supposed to be of some strange new insect shaped like a corkscrew that can also pass through solid objects... of course it turned out to just be a variety of moths and flies that where over exposing on the live video cameras. The result isn't the same, but lens distortions can look like anything. The orbs that people insist are ghosts in any ghost hunting video are a similar distortion created from light refractions.

Point being, that the way cameras work involve a lot of reflecting light and that light can behave in many different ways creating all kinds of optical illusions which can be made to look like anything. I'm not saying it isn't a bubble, I'm just saying that it could be anything, and a bubble is less likely than an optical distortion.

It's not like the Chinese have ever given us any reason to be skeptical of their space program or media releases.
