"THE TETHER INCIDENT" THAT UFO ENTHUSIASTS AND SELF PROCLAIMED EXPERTS CLAIM TO BE PROOF OF 3 MILE WIDE UFO

STS-75: The Tether Incident

Do you think that the circular images seen in this footage are UFOs or debris particles as described by the shuttle astronauts?

On Sunday, February 25, 1996, the Space Shuttle Columbia deployed an experimental tether into orbit. The experiment was called the Tethered Satellite System (TSS- 1R) and it's purpose of this was to attempt to generate electricity by utilizing Earth's magnetic field.

Unfortunately the tether broke so the experiment was not a success, although approximately five hours of data were recorded.

What really made "The Tether Incident" famous was the appearance of so called unidentified flying objects (UFOs) clearly visible in the NASA footage. Conspiracy theorists rejected NASA's explanation of space debris and ice particles, while conspiracy debunkers pointed out that the UFO theory doesn't stack up. For example, if the UFOs were as big as the conspiracy theorists claim, they would have been clearly visible from the ground.

Shuttle Crew:
Andrew M. Allen (3), Commander
Scott J. Horowitz (1), Pilot
Franklin R. Chang-Diaz (5), Payload Commander
Maurizio Cheli (1), Mission Specialist (ESA)
Jeffrey A. Hoffman (5), Mission Specialist
Claude Nicollier (3), Mission Specialist (ESA)
Umberto Guidoni (1), Payload Specialist (Italy)

After reviewing this footage, I agree with the astronauts aboard the shuttle that what people are seeing and claiming to be UFOs are just "space" particles and nothing more.

I see a lot of particle/ debris / ice flare caused by the low angle of the sun but NO UFOs.

I would appreciate getting your views and opinions. Send them to me at xzone@talkstarradio.com
