Space Shuttle Video, Part II:Entities Inhabiting Near Space

Perhaps even more incredible than the fact that ETs and alien craft exist is the evidence of two distinct, quite probably biological, entities captured by the shuttle's video cameras on numerous occasions.

"Spheres"
The first of these entities, known to many researchers as "spheres" or "critters," are best seen teeming about a 12-mile-long broken tether during STS mission 75. The tether was attached to a $100 million satellite launched by the shuttle Columbia in an experiment to capture electricity from the ionization of the long tether/antenna. Due to miscalculations, the energy captured was much more than anticipated and caused the tether to break free from the shuttle and drift off into space.

At about 70 to 100 nautical miles from the shuttle Columbia, the ionized tether attracts a huge swarm of remarkable, pulsating entities, which teem about it like fish rising to be fed in an aquarium. NASA astronauts and mission control describe the show as "debris" and "a couple of star-like things and a lot of things swimming in the foreground." Since we know that the tether is 12 miles long and can clearly see that many of the UFO/entities pass behind the tether, and fall in and out of focus with the tether itself, we can estimate the diameter of the largest at 2-3 miles across.

For those skeptics who would argue that these images represent the "airy disk" phenomenon of optical refraction, here is a very clear piece of video from the mission showing both the airy disk effect and the entities in the same frame. Apparently, the cameraman/astronaut here purposely creates the airy disk phenomenon while recording the "spheres" to allow comparison and to foreclose exactly this explanation.

These entities do not look to be manufactured and may be organic in origin. They have consistent, but irregular amoeboid shapes, a dark center, and a clear notch and flange at their edge. They pulsate with electromagnetic energy that manifests itself in a spiral pattern and that has been provocatively analyzed by ufo researcher David Sereda in this extensive investigation, "Evidence: the Case for NASA UFOs," Part 1 and Part 2.

Indeed, John Glenn witnessed "space fireflies" in his first orbital flight, as have astronauts in subsequent space flights, and NASA representatives later admitted that they had theorized that what came to be known as "John Glenn's fireflies" were living entities. Here we see at least a hundred of them, swarming around NASA's tether experiment, quite possibly attracted to its high electrical charge like moths to a flame. A number of other shuttle clips also capture these entities, NASA's fabled "space dust."

"The Second Phenomenon"
Unlike spheres, these entities are nearly invisible, and usually are far less than a meter in length. They appear as varicolored traces or "scratches" in shuttle videos, and move at such high speeds that they are nearly invisible to the naked eye. However, shuttle astronauts have witnessed and commented upon them, and extensive discussion and footage of this second space phenomenon is presented in Martyn Stubbs' Shuttle video documentary.

These second entities seem to be virtually pure energy, and can only be seen when they decrease their fantastically high velocities to investigate foreign objects such as the shuttle. They seem to ping about the craft and rebound nearly instantaneously at acute angles, losing virtually none of their incredible speed in the process.

Stubbs discovered this phenomenon while analyzing over 400 hours of shuttle video footage, much of it frame by frame, and has found they appear in most shuttle videos. When he brought his findings to the attention of NASA and Canadian space program representatives, they were simply flabbergasted. Unprepared for something they themselves had never noted--a phenomenon that could not be explained away as space debris, camera refractions or space dust--these scientists were forced to acknowledge both the phenomenon's existence and their total inability to explain it.

The "second phenomenon" has a certain relationship to so-called "rods." UFO researcher Jose Escamilla first claimed to have discovered rods in normal, earthbound videos, though I do not believe that what he has captured are indeed some new life form. I rather believe the evidence that they are fast-moving insects and birds caught and blurred by the relatively slow shutter speeds of camcorders. (Several images of Escamilla's rods and Trevor James Constable's much more compelling ameoboid "critters," captured with infrared-sensitive film, appear in this trailer for his rather overwrought film, "UFO: The Greatest Story Ever Denied"). You can find more about Escamilla's rods, and judge for yourself, here.

The Best Visual Proof of UFOs: The Space Shuttle Footage, Part I

Until the late 1990s, NASA's space shuttle video footage was transmitted unscrambled except during the military components of missions. Thousands of hours of video were broadcast via satellite downlink, and luckily several people, among them Martyn Stubbs, a cable station manager in Vancouver, BC, had the means and the determination to record dozens of complete shuttle mission video transmissions.

Once analyzed--notably, Mr. Stubbs compiled a complete, multi-year record of STS mission footage (a digest is presented here in documentary form)--the results yield a wealth of staggering evidence, not only of traditional UFOs, but also of two other phenomenona that indicate that earth's near space is inhabited by two as-yet unrecognized life-forms. I will post on these two phenomena later, but for now I will only present evidence of "normal" UFOs.

Traditional UFOs are well-documented on Stubbs' videos, as well as on transmissions recorded by others, and a few short samples (each less than 3 minutes long) of UFO maneuvers that defy the laws of our physics are shown in the following links. UFOs exhibiting incredible speeds and abrupt turns at high velocity, UFOs with the ability to materialize and dematerialize at will, and precisely structured UFO formations have all been captured by the shuttle's video cameras.

The Mir Flyby: "Where's Waldo?" In Orbit
The infamous Mir flyby footage is almost as comical as it is staggering, and demands special comment.

As the Mir approaches the shuttle Columbia, both the shuttle astronauts and mission control simply cannot locate the Russian space station among the literally hundreds of objects swarming earth's near space. The footage looks for all the world like a drop of pond water viewed under a microscope, with space teeming with "critters." The soundtrack is particularly revealing, as NASA personnel simply ignore the incredible display and painfully struggle to locate the needle of Mir in the UFO haystack.

Objects are recorded entering and leaving the earth's atmosphere at high and low speed, many are slowly drifting, and a good number change speed, luminosity, and/or course--all indicating that these are intelligently controlled craft, not stars or space debris. Also, note the large number of objects appearing in front of the earth, quickly glimpsed against the earth's curvature as the camera pans upward early in the video: the camera operator suddenly realizes that "stars," particularly moving ones, should not be photographed in front of the earth and rapidly pans back to the relative safety of space. Also of special note are the pair of "meteors" that streak past in an arcing formation, exhibiting speeds far beyond the maximum velocity possible for a true meteorite, and that show no sign of disintegrating as they skirt the earth's outer atmosphere; and several UFOs that accelerate out of the earth's atmosphere into space and decelerate as they approach it.

Several general observations should be made about the NASA footage. First, for many years, NASA was willing to transmit these UFO events, uncensored and without comment, knowing that "unauthorized" capture and dissemination would occur. Secondly, it is quite apparent that many of these events were planned to be captured by shuttle cameras, as there are numerous instances when UFOs manifest themselves just after a camera is repositioned or immediately after a camera zooms into a certain area above the earth. This indicates either that NASA is recording secret flights of US DoD ARVs (Alien Reproduction Vehicles) and/or pre-arranged rendezvous with alien craft. Thirdly, this disturbing sequence of a UFO in earth orbit suddenly flying off into space, trailed by a beam shot from earth, indicates that the US government has secret space weapons and that it is actively defending earth from certain UFO intrusions. Finally, the several UFO formations or "ballets" captured on shuttle cameras (above, a video still of a hub-and-wheel formation involving nearly a dozen craft) indicate ETs wish to manifest themselves to NASA and the public, as we can assume that the US government prefers that its own ARVs remain a closely guarded secret.
