What is this? Hollywood at it again?

This image is rumoured to have been

taken by the International Space Station

and is estimated to be around 3-5 thousand

miles in diameter and parked somewhere

in the Earth’s stratosphere.

The image was published on November

12, 2013 by the ‘Correio Braziliense’, a

local newspaper in Brazil’s capital city.

The photo was published in conjunction

with the announcement of the re-opening

of that city’s planetarium, which had been

shuttered for 16 years.

I found the newspaper’s webpage, which

featured this image and as a native speaker

of Brazilian Portuguese, I found and browsed

the planetarium’s site and found no reference

to this image.

The uploader says he has inquired the

planetarium directly about it in his upload,

made on March 29, 2014.

Neither he nor I have any idea what this

object is.
