NASA T.V. Landing Page


Real / Windows

On Fox they just made it plurel....object to objects.

I WONDER WHEN THEY ARE GOING TO COME UP WITH AN EXPLANATION OR WHAT STORY THEY ARE GOING TO GIVE US. Sorry about caps mistake.

thanks for that link boyos...appreciate it...


here's hoping its not part of the spaceship, and its something we don't know about

I wonder if there is something about the Atlantis shuttle mission that caught the attention of "someone." I just hope there is no disruption of any kind involved in the return of the shuttle. I pray for the astronaut's safe return.

Nasa replaying the object footage now it's still unknownNASA TV

Did I hear it well and NASA TV is saying the object is still uknown?

yes that what they said.

CNN just did a short plug on this story. I heard a guy call it an "unknown object" and that one of the people on board the space shuttle saw a second object outside the shuttle window!!!

Outstanding lost_shaman. Thanks for finding and making that NASA footage available to us.
From the footage I had seen, I can't even comment if it was debris or something else terrestrial or extra?
But I have taped some early NASA STS mission stuff that had objects similar when distant, move in a very peculiar way withing miles of the camera shot from the shuttle which kinda startled me as to it's bizarre movement and rapid advance.

Thanks again for posting the latest STS footage. Surprised NASA showed it at all.

Dallas

Question:
Whatever this object is, it looks tiny. If the camera was on the object, how big or small would Atlantis look?

Also, if there is a lot of space junk floating around in space, why is this object of so much interest? I mean it wouldnt have been seen without a trained eye, so maybe its more than it seems.

I feel like its either a part of the shuttle or something we don't know about...hopefully the latter for the sake of the astonauts.

Finally, where is the female space tourist? Isn't she out there too? Lots of activity in space tonight, don't you think?

I'm watching CNN. What caught my attention was the serious and slightly fearful tone in the astronaut's voice as he says "I/We, are not joking." Would a typical piece of floating debris cause this kind of reaction from one of the astronauts?

Objects are still unknown. I have both CNN on tv and NASA live footage online here...

Major question here - why are NASA cameras trained on the shuttle and not on either of the objects? This is a big enough event to push off the landing, AND the objects are unidentified. Why are the cameras not trained on these objects?!

ok...what should we make of that! I thought it was all clear and now there saying uknown again, it's starting to be interesting again. Story continues....

To bad I can't receive your CNN, only the international one.

sounds like disinfo, considering all of the other objects they have seen and commented on.... why would this be such a big deal, other than lessening the value of the sightings from the 90's.

Make a big deal of this to act like you regularly acknowlege things flying outside the windows....

interesting though

Please dont think im dumb for this question--but wheres the stars why cant we see them when the camera is panning around.

If he thought it was part of the shuttle ...yes.

Saying that I'm inclined to agree with you,the astronaut sounds fearful of a Unidentified Flying Object,this is going to run and run.

I can't keep from admiring the courage of these men and women who dare to face the risks involved in these space excursions. But their courage is rewarded by viewing our beautiful planet in a way that few humans have ever seen it. Film and pictures can't convey what the astronauts have looked upon with their own eyes.

I noticed that too! It's like they were scared, shocked, or both!

Yeah. They did see another object other than the "debris".

Here is a link to pics of the Second object.
