This astonishing picture was posted on NASA's official website Astronomy Picture Of The Day yesterday, it appears to show Shuttle Enterprise Over New York being followed by a mysterious object. I find it unbelievable Bill Ingalls who posted this picture did not see this object in the background, is this another NASA tease? Shuttle Enterprise Over New York

Explanation:
What's that in the background?
Two famous New York City icons stand tall in the
above photo
taken last week.
On the left looms the
Statue of Liberty,
a universal symbol of freedom, while on the right rises the
Empire State Building,
now the
second largest building in the city.
What's unique about this once-in-a-lifetime photograph, though, is the third icon that appears to
Lady Liberty's left.
High in the air and far in the background
flies the space shuttle Enterprise --
perched atop a 747 jet --
on the way to its new home.
New Yorkers and visitors to the
Big Apple can visit the
test space shuttle at the
Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum on the West Side of Manhattan starting July 19.
