This video was taken by my brother Steven, I remember how excited and proud he was when he filmed this. I 'm upset by the negative comments that have been made about this being a fake, I'm glad he passed away before he could read all this negativity I don't understand why people have to try and make others upset.

Rest in peace my Brother you will always live on in your amazing vidoes!

THIS IS NOT A HOAX! This is real!

[Truth666]

The first "Shuttle" landing was staged with planes escorting the "Shuttle" to cover-up the noise of what is not a glider but in fact a normal plane.

The mind control technique of "others have previously confirmed it". Like for other hoaxes staged on a regular basis, the foundation is set by including special coreography the first time the act is staged.

[dynamic717]

Dude, you're fucked. Shut the fuck up.

[martinhaith1337]

@Truth666 we have... been... in space... SINCE THE FUCKING 60'S

[shameaz]

I was there also. I was 13 years old at the time, and my Dad had friends on the base that invited us to come watch it land. It was during our spring break from school, and I was the coolest kid in junior high when I got back and told everyone! And CaptainNomura is right...the sonic boom was insane!

[CaptainNomura]

I was there when it landed. The sonic boom shook the window and we heard it seconds before the TV live broadcasting. I was stationed at Edwards for 5 years between 1976-1981. Great base, great experience. Of all the bases I was assigned, I had most fun on this one.

They did look early 70's not early 80's didn't they :) That's the first thing I thought too. Haha

[swede42]

fun video. good thing your battery made it to the end. the 'commentators' look a little more 1971 than 1981 ;-)

[trashmail8]

What a brilliant video! Thank you so much for sharing!

Btw. any idea about the name of the background song? It's soo fitting :D

[ThisIsNotLA]

Thanks for the commit- sorry, I have no idea on the music.

[AdVideoKiosk]

The music was from a KPFA recording from the '70's
