Life not just not on another planet, but in Space itself?

I was watching a documentary last night and Astronaut Story Musgrave said that not only has he witnessed UFO's but on 2 seperate shuttle missions he witnessed a snake like creature actually following the shuttle.

 

So, do we think he's nuts? or just mistook something else that it could have been. He was extremely adiment when he said it was definetely alive.

 

I normally would reject this idea until I read that back on Apollo 16 I think it was they went to the Moon and came back with bacteria that had been left there for 10 years with no shelter from the vacuum of space and they were still alive when they came back.
