    On www.spaceflight.now I saw a notice about a video showing the "tossing of
    a blanket into space".
    Sadly this video is only for subscribers.
    
    I quite well remember the observing of trashcans from Salyut 6 and 7.
    Sometimes there were more
    than a dozen objects close to the station.
    Have to look in my logs to recall the exact facts.
