No problems Ralph , its an easy mistake to make as there are no points of reference in the clip other than ISS. In a segment just after the "worm" quite a few objects move through the field of view and these are seen to pass "over" the main array , again between Atlantis and the station. I'm now pretty certain it was a strap or short tether used to attach tools to the crew members suit, similar to the one seen in the image here: http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/gallery/images/shuttle/sts-117/hires/s117e07246.jpg or possibly a blanket retention tether , but without access to the post mission "missing " inventory , its not easy to tie down.
