STS 75 TETHER INCIDENT
A very well know incident in UFO circles to be sure... but most websites crop the film and miss the beginning... Too bad as it goes to context...
From the video I took some stills... I will link to the video later. (It disappears from you tube a lot but I have a version on file if need be)
As Internos said earlier I will let the photos do the talking..
Exhibit #1
Tether Deployed
Tether Satellite being deployed from the Shuttle Bay of STS-75
SOURCE
Exhibit #2
Tether Activated
Tether Satellite begins to glow as it gathers electricity from the Ionosphere
Exhibit #3
Tether Overloads
Tether Satellite glows brighter as the power collected far exceeds predicted levels, as much as ten times. The tether cable begins to undulate from
the power surge
Exhibit #4
Tether Breaks Free
Tether Satellite cable fries the connection and breaks free... still producing energy.
The glow increases and the cable gets wider. ( More on this later)
Exhibit #5
Tether Broke Free
Tether Satellite worth 100 million has overloaded the circuits within minutes of being activated because those intelligent and highly paid NASA
Scientists under estimated the potential. The tether in just a few moments of operation produced 10 times the anticipated power and they forgot to
install a circuit breaker. NASA calls this a 'success' losing a 100 mill satellite in five minutes of operation. Well at least they know how much
FREE ENERGY is up there
TETHER BROKEN FREE AND DRIFTING AWAY
Now a few clips from the second part of the film...
Tether Drifting Away
At this point the STS 75 Astronauts switched to Infrared camera. What you are seeing is the Tether at about 80 nautical miles away from the Shuttle.
Notice that it has straightened out and has become much wider. This is commented on by Mission Control as they say its wider than expected.
It is also at this point that the plasma collected by the tether that is "still glowing like a fluorescent bulb" (according to a NASA report issued
after the event (See Below)) attracts the "Critters" or UFO's as most people call them. To see more about the "Critters"
VISIT HERE In the image include below you can see the Tether Satellite at the
tip. By this time the Tether is almost as wide as the Satellite itself.
Going behind the tether you see one of the "Critters" It is CLEARLY behind the tether. This is what NASA calls "dust and debris" The purpose of
this paper is to show the tether however, not the "Critters". If you want to know more about them either email us or check out the pages linked to
above.
Now I am sure you can see where this is leading? No?
Matt (Matyas) had written me that he has found documents hinting at a Tether in operation near Jupiter. He is still following that up, but it seems
the Cassini Spacecraft has found one or more in the vicinity of Saturn
It was in one of the images Internos linked to...
Cassini Spacecraft Image
It is so clear its uncanny... the bright glowing head.. the long undulating tail


Is this the lost Tether Satellite? Or is there another one in operation near Saturn?
Tether Near Saturn
Judging by the scale of Saturn, it would seem this is NOT the lost Satellite, but a much larger one. The STS 75 Tether was 12 miles long... This one
is huge
(Note Dates and Size need to calculated)

And THAT puts a whole new slant on these two...

CONGRATULATIONS GUYS
You just found operating Tethers in the vicinity of Saturn...
So just what is a tether and what does it do?
Well you drag the wire through space and collect energy to propel your space craft... its free, its abundant (as NASA found out the hard way) and you
don't need rocket fuel
BTW THIS is what happens to your spacecraft when you lose control of your tether and it fries... panel on the STS... you didn't see THIS on the
news...
Come to think of it, that whole tether thing seems to have missed the news...
Just for kicks while we are here... this is some arcing on the ISS panels from a different incident... (covered in an article about electromagnetic
shielding which we had since 1964

)
And you are in luck seems the video has been reposted Get it while its hot

I can already see the skeptics squirming in their chairs
