NASA UFOs: STS-75 The Tether Incident

STS-75 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...

If you've ever watched debris through a facemask in a mucky swimming pool, you can see it moving and changing direction in the same way, Boonskee. Cameras, too, are specific on what they focus on. When the UFOs go in front of the tether, they're out of focus and are lighter in appearance; thus they appear to be going BEHIND the tether...but they're not.

Most of it looks like debris to me. Not saying there's nothing strange here. Clearly some of these objects are taking strange paths. Can any of the skeptics weigh in on the objects switching directions?

01:29 It looks like something on the lens or else why will it move with the cam?
