Snake-like Creature Caught In NASA Shuttle Discovery Orbit Photo.

Date of Photo: During STS105 mission, Shuttle Discovery August 2001
Location of object: Earths Orbit

When I first saw this photo, I almost jumped to the conclusion that it was impossible, but I checked the NASA link and yes, it is there! This object looks like a snake the way it bends. At one end of it there looks to be a head. Did the STS105 Shuttle crew throw a snake outside just to observe its reactions as it slowly falls, doubtful. Its impossible to determine its size unless we know the distance it was from the camera. SCW
