The space-shuttle US Pegasus had encountered an unidentified Vehicle, just after establishing a stable Orbit. At first it was observed, only by the lack of light blocking the silhouette of the Moon, on the far side of its Orbit.

Once the ship had been recognized, the Shuttle reported back to Houston in order to explain what they saw. Of course, they were eager to hear what the Ground Control had to say about what they were encountering as well.
