NASA's lost tool bag located in orbit

Remember last week when astronaut Heidemarie Stefanyshyn-Piper (a St. Paul native) lost her tool bag while making repairs to the International Space Station? Through the magic of YouTube you can relive the historic moment by watching the the following video.

I'm sure astronaut Heidemarie was hoping the story would go away, but now it's back in the news. Kevin Fetter, an amateur satellite observer in Brockville, Ontario, has claimed to have located the orbiting bag of errant tools, and was kind enough to have videotaped it so everyone could see.

The tool bag was the one of the largest items lost by NASA during a spacewalk and cost something like $100,000!!! Obviously, NASA doesn't shop at Sears or Home Depot.
