If you are a science nerd who is ever bored, NASA offers a YouTube channel filled with
videos that can tickle your interest, and among them is a live stream from the International
Space Station.
Recently, the astronauts on the ISS were doing some usual maintenance on the station but
while the camera rolled, something bizarre happened in the live feed.
The unusual situation that unfolded on the International Space Station's live feed over
the weekend left some conspiracy theorists perplexed.
Is NASA trying to cover up a UFO sighting?
Is this finally the proof that aliens exist?
Stick around till the end to find out about the latest event that caused NASA to shut
down its live feed.
In the early 1990s, one thing was fairly certain regarding the expansion of the universe.
It might have enough energy density to cease expanding and re-collapse, or it might have
so little that it would never stop expanding, but gravity would undoubtedly reduce the expansion
over time.
Granted, the slowdown had not been noticed, but, theoretically, the universe had to slow.
The universe is dense with matter, and gravity's attraction force draws all matter together.
Then came 1998, and Hubble Space Telescope images of very distant supernovae revealed
that the cosmos was expanding more slowly than it is now a long time ago.
So, contrary to popular belief, the expansion of the cosmos has been accelerating rather
than slowing due to gravity.
Nobody expected it, and nobody knew how to describe it.
However, something was causing it.
According to studies and research, we have only explored approximately 4% of our universe,
with the other 96% being a vast unknown filled with new particles, dark energy, and dark
matter, as well as innumerable planets and possibly a different sort of civilization
that we have yet to discover.
This research resulted in the creation of the International Space Station, one of the
most magnificent technologies in human history.
The International Space Station took 10 years and more than 30 trips to assemble.
It is the outcome of unparalleled scientific and engineering collaboration between five
space agencies from 15 different countries.
A 460-ton, permanently crewed platform orbiting 250 miles above Earth, the space station is
roughly the size of a football field.
It is around four times the size of the Russian space station Mir and five times the size
of the US Skylab.
The space station is recognized for testing spacecraft equipment and technologies that
will be deployed on long-term voyages to the moon and the exploration of planets such as
Mars in the near future.
The ISS can also be used to look for alien life or other abnormalities in the universe.
The International Space Station has done extensive research on these intelligent creatures since
its creation, and after many years of work, this research has finally begun to yield results.
As expected, reports of UFO encounters have begun to circulate, and the government and
NASA are now seeking to keep this knowledge hidden from the public.
Recently, the astronauts on the ISS were doing some routine maintenance on the station but
while the camera rolled, a pinecone shaped metallic object passed past the space station
before curving upward and blasting off into space.
Scott C. Waring, the founder of UFO Sightings Daily, was the first to observe the unidentified
flying object, and he provided a video of where it was and what it looked like.
He explained, "I was watching the NASA live space station CAM when I noticed the camera
zooming in on a strange object coming from below the space station.
At first, I thought it was a capsule or satellite, but its speed increased, and after 22 minutes
it shot up and into deep space.
I believed if it was a capsule, it would have gone into low earth orbit then lower to land,
but when this object shot upward into deep space, it literally blew my mind.
This could be USAF top-secret alien tech fused craft, but I don’t think so, the person
on the camera seemed dismayed and unprepared for its sudden appearance."
As Scott points out, whomever was in charge of the camera at NASA observed the thing as
well because they zoomed in on it.
No one from the space agency has yet commented on what it could be, but this isn't the first
time this has happened.
On the NASA live stream in 2016, a weird light was detected near Earth.
The feed was stopped shortly after it aired.
The NASA feed, which typically displays a view of Earth as seen by astronauts stationed
on the International Space Station, displayed something a little bit unusual for a few seconds.
A faint light was visible in the distance falling toward Earth, however the object stopped
falling and hovered in position before the video stream was interrupted.
The footage was originally examined by YouTube user "Streetcap1," who routinely studies weird
celestial occurrences.
"This could well be a meteor or the like," the user added in the YouTube upload.
"What made it interesting was the camera cut off when the UFO seemed to stop."
NASA has subsequently commented to the clip, claiming that it was most likely not a UFO
but rather a piece of space trash.
"(The light) could be any number of things: a reflection on the lens of the camera, radiation
hitting a sensor in the High-Definition Earth Viewing system, a satellite, a meteor or one
of the tens of thousands (of) bits of space debris currently circling the planet," Popular
Mechanics speculated.
A NASA representative chimed in, assuring Popular Mechanics that no alien spacecraft
has ever been seen, close to or far from Earth.
So, what exactly is NASA covering up?
According to NASA spokesman Daniel Huot, the live feed was not intentionally cut.
According to Huot, cameras on the International Space Station are controlled automatically.
"The station regularly passes out of range of the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites
used to send and receive video, voice and telemetry from the station," Huot explained.
"For video, whenever we lose signal, the cameras will show a blue screen or a preset video
slate."
People on social media, however, are skeptical of NASA's claim that the broadcast was not
intentionally stopped.
Some on Twitter said that shutting the live footage was "suspicious," while others simply
want to see the aliens NASA may or may not be aware of.
One person wrote the following: “Another UFO -- another feed cut --Another reason to
question why NASA always has a problem with the neighbors...”
Despite all of these sightings and hypotheses, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
has made no formal comments on these events.
Although some experts believe the first encounter was a technical error, which is why the camera
was shut off.
However, it was insufficient to explain the objects seen in the live feed, which did not
satisfy alien researchers and ufologists.
What is still a mystery to this day is why the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
hasn't stepped out to disprove these allegations if they're false.
Professor Andrew Balogh of the Imperial College London Department of Physics was interviewed
about these alien reports.
In an interview with Mail Online, he said,” “Generally speaking the UFO sightings can
either be explained by some artifact effect, it could even be some space junk and may be
left unexplained as there is not enough evidence to back up the assumptions, it would be a
very complex scenario to judge the content of the video in this instance especially with
the poor quality depicted in the video, but suppose NASA has access to high quality images
of the footage in that case, they may decide to investigate further if they wish.”
However, NASA or its authorities have yet to comment on the incident.
However, the age-old obsession on UFOs lurking over Earth grew after the Pentagon published
three brief movies depicting "unidentified aerial phenomena" in April.
The two videos date back to 2004 and 2015 and show objects flying at great speed that
remain unidentifiable till date.
A white cylindrical object was recently witnessed flying by the International Space Station
on the same day as the space station reported a series of "high-speed" objects travelling
close.
The live feed reportedly showed two sightings, which were then uploaded to YouTube by a user
named "MrMBB333" under the description "Ok something is CLEARLY roaming the skies on
this planet!"
Not too long ago, a report by the Pentagon stated that while UFO sightings may be confirmed,
aliens can be not.
Analysts speculate that the mysterious flying objects detected by US intelligence could
be advanced technology manufactured by other countries such as China and Russia.
The US also changed the classification of UFOs to UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).
It's worth noting here that the common misunderstanding about alien life is that they'll look and
act like us.
Scientists have frequently highlighted how complicated life forms can be, even human
beings.
Evolutionary processes on another planet may be very different from ours.
A blob-like monster with no face or mouth could be a highly advanced species from another
galaxy.
The presumption that they all look like human beings is scientifically inaccurate, as illustrated
wonderfully in the visually spectacular short series on Netflix called "Alien Worlds".
The International Space Station's live feed and images have become an important source
of proof for UFO believers.
It became more than simply evidence, but also a basis for conspiracy theories about the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration and what more the International Space Station
might be hiding, though scientists are skeptical.
Scientists have examined the situation numerous times and concluded that reports of UFO sightings
are most likely the result of a psychological phenomenon known as pareidolia.
Pareidolia is a condition in which the brain reacts by noticing significant objects in
entirely random locations.
The author of the UFO investigation manual, Nigel Watson, told MailOnline about pareidolia
in relation to these UFO reports.
He claimed that the great majority of these UFO images were as blurry and mysterious as
those uploaded by UFO Witnesses on Earth.
Many of them have really basic explanations.
He concluded that the more NASA denies or explains such occurrences, the more people
believe there is a conspiracy to cover up the fact that aliens are visiting our planet.
At this point, UFO enthusiasts have established other conspiracies that NASA is concealing
a lot more from the public.
These conspiracies revolve around the question of whether NASA is now in contact with an
advanced civilization and is concealing this news from the public.
While these aircrafts remain unexplained, evidence from the ISS or US records answers
some questions that have been mostly kept from the general public for decades - that
aliens may have visited Earth, with or without human knowledge.
