The tether incident: Franklin Chang Diaz, Mission Specialist. Closeups of the tether deploying show a crystal clear scene with no ice crystals, debris of any kind. But one scene as the tether is seen drifting away a couple of white objects flash by in opposite directions! Marc D'Antonio (MUFON Photo & Video Analyst) says they zoomed in, they zoomed out. Voiceover says: "... and a lot of things swimming in the foreground." Ice crystals wouldn't swim in the foreground 'cause if they were they would be out of focus and they are in focus with the tether which is many miles away. Ice crystals don't swim, once they've been put in motion they continue that motion. D'Antonio's simulation fails because it does not for one minute resemble the real footage. He may have convinced himself of its success but it's a failure to me. His blobs do not look anything like the swarm which have a dark center and when a large one goes behind the tether the dark center disappears until the object emerges and the swarm looks pretty sharp compared to D'Antonio's formless blobs.

Oberg says "People see things at the limits of their vision and fill in the rest of the details from their imaginations and their fears." What does that mean? ... What fears? Why should watching a plain, ol' video trigger fears? It may make Oberg think esoterically but in reality it sounds meaningless mumbo jumbo.

I missed the show also...but it did not have so called new footage because Martyn Stubbs was the source of the video & was not asked for any more by the producers.
NASA will not deliver anything new..even for Jim!

Jim...I just received an E reply from Martyn Stubbs re: this NASA UFO show!
He says that he worked on it with Nick Patterson, producer...providing the footage to be examined...all from his NASA UFO archives.
I asked why & he says that it is balanced & the 'show' itself does not debunk the NASA UFO clips. You, Jim, are on the show to play that role, he says... you debunked Stubbs NASA videos with your usual points, (somebody had to do it (!)... Stubbs says,) & the show ends with no conclusions..deliberately I am told...to let viewers consider the evidence for themselves. I am sure it will start an ATS debate the next day!
It's great that YOU, Jim are actually promoting this!!! Stubbs says that was the plan.
That's all I was able to discover, so far.
That's a lot -- first, that Martyn is still alive, which had been in doubt.
Good work!

Shrike is right, the comments of mine that were used were confusing if not misleading considering what I told the interviewers, but wasn't used. All the comments Shrike expected to hear me say WERE said on tape -- and got edited out.

I believe you, JimO, I believe you.
NASA didn't call you and tell you that they cut your input after you came here to promote the video. I am sure it's because they didn't want to hurt your feelings.
To hell with credibility, feelings are what counts. Yessir. Yessiree.

Jim should have told the ATS members that this was not a NASA production therefore NASA didn't edit Jim's comments. At the end of the "documentary" the credits say "Produced by WAG TV for Science".

So Oberg lied or conveniently mismembered. Ok, I'm down with those explanations.
And WAG cut him out. And told him and he mismembered to tell ATS or was WAG concerned with his feelings too and simply left him to look the fool here.
Ok, I'm down with those explanations.

Why didn't you answer Shrike when he pointed out...
"Near the end is where the surprise of the program appears with Oberg contradicting himself with the following comments, about the white orbs we call Space UFOs and which form a "circle". "Objects appear. White dots suddenly show up. Maybe from behind the earth, from behind a cloud".
That's Oberg portraying Oberg.
No matter. You did the right thing, gave the money they paid you back.
Oh, wait, you didn't.

"NASA's top ten unexplained encounters using footage and interviews with astronauts and scientists."
Should be very interesting. The Science Channel has been doing alien shows all month long for some reason, with a lot of new shows and alien-based episodes. Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I totally would have missed it.

Please try to maintain concentration on the factual debates at the heart of the controversy, not petty fantasy-based ad hominems.
