Where in the video do you see the objects make a 90 degree turn? I watched it again and didn't notice absolutely anything. Can you give me the time stamp?
And no, my assessment isn't lazy, it's based on simple logic.
1 - The footage is blurry and when some objects pass behind the tether they shrink in size and gain focus. It's on par with what you'd expect from an out of focus image, where overlaying objects can change the light path (diffraction), possibly making them appear sharper. You can notice the same effect if you squeeze your eyes or see through a tiny hole.
2 - There's no diffuse light in space, it's directional and produces sharp shadows. You can't see the object if it's not lit or if its surface isn't reflecting light (every object reflects light, it's its albedo)
What "everything else" is there? You understand the camera is moving, right? Zooming in and out, rotating and such while the objects just "float" around.
I don't buy the distortions and reflections angle at all. There would be more variation in the object's appearance as they move and they would not all have the same shape as they move. I think its camera trickery, but it is NASA footage which throws me off.
