US, before you even try to judge what an astronaut says he/she has seen, check to be sure it isn't some UFO nut making up a fictitious comment, for fun, ego, or profit. What the astronauts really say is interesting enough, but that often isn't good enough for people who want make-believe evidence for fun self-delusions.
Donald Slayton, a Mercury astronaut, revealed in an interview he had seen UFOs in 1951: "I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then I realized that no kite is gonna fly that high." As I got closer it looked like a weather balloon, grey and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing it didn't look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disk. About the same time, I realized that it was suddenly going away from me - and there I was, running at about 300 miles per hour. I tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45 degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared."
On May 11, 1962 NASA pilot Joseph Walker said that one of his tasks was to detect UFOs during his X-15 flights. He had filmed five or six UFOs during his record breaking fifty-mile-high flight in April, 1962. It was the second time he had filmed UFOs in flight. During a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Space Research in Seattle, Washigton he said: "I don't feel like speculating about them. All I know is what appeared on the film which was developed after the flight." - Joseph Walker To date none of those films has been released to the public for viewing.
In December 1965, Gemini astronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman also saw a UFO during their second orbit of their record-breaking 14 day flight. Borman reported that he saw an unidentified spacecraft some distance from their capsule. Gemini Control, at Cape Kennedy told him that he was seeing the final stage of their own Titan booster rocket. Borman confirmed that he could see the booster rocket all right, but that he could also see something completely different.
Robert White On July 17, 1962 Major Robert White reported a UFO during his fifty-eight-mile high flight of an X-15. Major White reported: "I have no idea what it could be. It was grayish in color and about thrity to forty feet away." Then according to a Time Magazine article, Major White exclaimed over the radio: "There ARE things out there! There absolutely is!"

Those "winged beings" are 5th, 6th, 7th Dimensional Beings. After Earth ascends to 5th dimension next year in 2014, all of us living on Earth will be 5th dimensional beings with all sorts of cool powers and abilities.

Having read the article and comments–this one kinda stuck out.

Yes, it's the skeptics who are fanatical. Vladimir Solovyov is asked if he saw angels, he says he didn't... So he must be lying! Nothing fanatical about that point of view at all.
As far as I can tell the story originated in the World Weekly News, which makes it as worthy of serious discussion as Bat Boy. Can anyone find any source that predates the WWN story, October 22, 1985? Otherwise this isn't a matter of "separating wheat from chaff," but just a matter of having a bunch of chaff and calling it wheat.

I don't think that my belief in "real" UFOs" alien visitation puts me in an "intellectual ghetto". In fact, I think that it is you that is missing something important here with your over-the-top denial of something very real. I understand those that don't explore this subject, but how you can review all of this type of evidence, and still deny its reality is lost on me.

How did they estimate the size? You have NOTHING to compare the size of an object to. Nor can you gauge the distance to an object (which is necessary to estimate the size).
A golfball floating in space a foot away from the window of a space station, would look exactly like a white Death Star many thousands of miles away.
