He also said that those pictures of the same man unageing man with something like 5 different presidents were very real.

My uncle through marriage used to work as a civilian contractor for NASA. (He worked for Fairchild and Perkin-Elmer (sp) from what I know) He or his team where in charge in making nearly every lenses that went into space. He did it for years. Also one of the people responcible for creating the bar code reader.
Anyway on to what he told me.
He says that Astronauts get about a million bucks a flight as basically hush money so they don�t say anything about what goes on or what they might see. There is also a huge confidentiality contract they have to sign.
He point blank said there are 6 different known races of aliens. Some good, some bad. It seems that one of the races only supply�s ships for others.
He also said that those pictures of the same man unageing man with something like 5 different presidents were very real.
I have no other proff but his word, and I take it with 100% truth.

Well, if the astronauts are recieving hush money and signing confidentiality papers, how would you know? It would be all hush hush right? So how would you know?

I'm pretty sure your uncle is just adding a little fun to life with some stories.
Being an ex-NASA guy myself and having an uncle who ranks high in the CIA i find all the conspiracy stuff pretty amusing. If nothing else stories like what your uncle told you helps keep people busy. The truth is a lot more mundane but much more scarey. From the CIA point of view we face global disaster all too often for the public to need/want to know. It would cause panic. And on the NASA side a lot of it it just research, with a splash of publicity for funding, and a dash of doomsday meteor.
There are thousands of amatuer astronomers across the globe looking at satalites, space junk, and various comic bodies nightly, and yet none have ever captured a shot of these UFO's frequenting nearby space?
yeah, your uncle is probably doing what uncles do best, having a little fun.
How does one go about photographing space junk? Is it similar to capturing "satellite streaks" using time lapse photography? Anyway, if you're taking pictures of a blob in the sky whether it be a satellite, space junk, or a UFO, how would you be able to tell? I guess you're telling me that its possible to get ultra-clear photographs of such things, right? I've never seen anything of the sort even for satellite images. Just blobs and streaks of light. Satellites should also be far easier to take pictures of as their orbits are predictable. UFOs have no known flight patterns or anything of the sort.

A good tracking telescope. The streaks are people taking pictures of them without good magnification or with a still telescope. If you have a tracking telescope you can get a good clear shot. This fall more to the financialy invested amature astronomer than just any guy with a $50 telescope and a polaroid.

Fair enough. I don't have some oath barring me from speaking openly, however, since it is a common belief on ATS that that is part of NASA science i'm not gonna worry about it too much.
As already noted, words from somebody who used to work for NASA isn't going to help a lot here as I'm sure you have a national security oath to keep your trap shut on anything you actually know. Even if its non-UFO/ET related.
I think making money off a few equations tossed at UFO junkies is a great idea. Funny, why hasn't he published anything in a credited scientific journal? As for the video, i have no idea what those dots are, a few specs moving around on a screen aren't enough to come to any really good conclusions. I admit one possibility is alien UFOs, however i see no evidence of this.
Can you tell me what you think about Dr. Jack Kasher's findings on the Space Shuttle STS-48 video? You know, the professor who concluded the blobs seen on the video were UFOs and not ice chunks? He a crackpot or what?
Same as above. While the ice particals theory is pretty sound, I will not claim it is more than another theory. However the ice theory does have more basis than aliens. After all, i can go to my window in the winter and see ice on the window and some times falling from the sky.
And if you've seen it, what do you think of that STS-80 video of that freaky thing shooting out from Brazil?
Little things can trip up a mission. Its a shame that an O-ring or a piece of foam didn't cause the challanger or columbia missions to be haulted. A blind astronaut is a pretty good reason to cancel a mission. I didn't work for NASA at the time though, nor did i ever study the event, so I can't really shed any light on it.
What about the particulars of why the Gemini IX launch was cancelled due to one of the astronaut's visors "fogging over"? I've heard there was just too many UFOs buzzing around the field to even launch that day. Maybe this one is just urban legend, but I wouldn't be so sure about that.
I think they both make nice money off of books and lectures. And since there is a large culture out there that doesn't appreciate these men a astronauts, and would call them liars otherwise, its a pretty nice deal they have.
Oh, and what is your opinion on Gordon Cooper and Dr. Edgar Mitchell who think that ET visitation is happening? They senile old men?
Right. So then the average joe is not going to be able to do this. Which is more often than not the type of individual who will be at the right place at the right time to photograph such an anomaly. There was the hobbyist astronomer Chuck Shramek who started the public knowledge of the Hale-Bopp comet anomaly, of which many observatories already knew about and did not go about divulging such information to the public. It seems safe to conclude that most citizens are incapable of doing what you assumed would be more commonplace.

Quite right. You won't change our opinions, but at least you're typing here.

Ah. The money equation. Fair enough to pass off investigative material using this method of skepticism. Nothing I can refute though.

I have a problem with your words here. A UFO doesn't have to be alien in origin. And as for ice falling from the sky, it usually doesn't shoot out into space such as captured in this particular video.

The money explanation again. I can't claim otherwise. As for a "large culture" of people who hate and call NASA employees liars, I don't see that except for conspiracy theorists. Which is not a majority opinion on this planet. I don't exactly read up on the persecution of astronauts or other NASA employees, but I doubt there is enough of this to cause anybody from NASA problems.

Thats always a possibility. At least you acknowledge it. :cool
Hey, but I used to work for NASA, so i'm obviously just trying to fool you.
