NASA UFO VIDEO - Space Shuttle Missions

UFO Recorded by Space Shuttle Atlantis In April 1991 the Space Shuttle Atlantis recorded this video of an unidentified object in relatively close proximity to the spacecraft. NASA speculated that the object may have been a block of ice, but to date no convincing explanation has been offered. STS-75: The Tether Incident 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 many 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. NOTE: The footage above begins with a text title which has been added by someone obviously not from NASA. I do not personally agree with the text, but this is the only version of the footage I have been able to find. The rest of the footage is apparently genuine NASA footage (public domain).
