Mystery Object Orbits Earth Now

ufo

whats your theory then? is it a ufo... if so prove it too...

all I see here is discussion no ego boost like yourself... chill it or you will be abducted dude! ATS T&C ufo just chill.

I never agreed with nasa except in releasing the hundreds of hours of film that show UFO's

They would be unlikely to admit it if it was the teather as the UFO's on that mission seemed to have some involvement in breaking it from the shuttle.

TOOO EASSYYY...

I can not identify the object.

You can not identify the object.

Others can not identify the object.

That means the Object is Unidentified.

Is it flying? Well, yes? Its floating too!

There is your proof, that it is a U.F.O. An unidentified flying object.

For those of you who still think this is a squiggly line, look at my previous post. The first photo is a 600 second exposure. That’s 10 minutes for the mathematically impaired. It is a fast moving object so it looks like it is a long string when taking a long exposure photograph.

This is the first photo that even says on it that it is a 600 second exposure.

science.nasa.gov...

This is the movie were you can see the object moving and it doesn’t look anything like a tether or a string.

science.nasa.gov...

Both of them are from the NASA site.

science.nasa.gov...

As for the explanation of what it is, I will go along with NASA because I am smart enough to know that they know a little more about orbital debris than I do.

Believe what you want.

Yeah, NASA will ALWAYS tell you the truth.


Ok, lets for one minute believe the source is correct and the object is in fact 60 feet long. According to my measurements, it is about 9 or 10 feet wide.



Please, what part of the "Saturn V stage-3 rocket" is 60 feet long and 9 to 10 feet wide? Please show me some dimensions and a part name.



Also, if the source is correct and it is 60 feet long. Then, it can't be the TSS-1R Tether, because that was about 12.2 miles long. You would notice a difference.

Hey ufo lol,

anyhow if the picture in your post is not pixellated too much, certainly looks to me a bit like a slinky type structure, you know a twisted cord,

this was the teather with ufo's swarming round it:



edit: full length footage here: NASA UFO Teather Footage 9.6meg

on the full length footage (and better qulity) as it moves away from the shuttle it seems to spiral slightly around the x axis whilst moving away at a higher velocity on the y axis. It seems to start to coil up.

Maybe just maybe.

Yep and NASA do probably know what they are on about,

Its what they decide to tell us thats the point.

It would have been so cool if it were a sattelite from another species... I suppose we just have to keep scanning the skies. One day we'll make first contact. One day...

Ok, I'm going to get simple...

The title of this topic is: Mystery Object Orbits Earth Now

The TSS-1R Tether was: "in orbit for a number of weeks and was easily visible from the ground, appearing something like a small but surprisingly bright fluorescent light traveling through the sky."

The tether is no longer in orbit around the Earth, it was ejected long ago due to perturbations with the Earth the Moon and the Sun.

This object, J002E3, is known to be "in orbit", and everyone is curious because things can't stay in orbit for long because of the perturbations with the Earth the Moon and the Sun, so it must have gotten "in orbit" quite recently. Recently is not 11 YEARS! The STS-75 mission that held the TSS-1R Tether launched in 1996.


This is NOT the tether, nor is it a rocket component from a Apollo 12 which launched in 1969!


en.wikipedia.org...

When it was first discovered it was quickly found that the object was in an orbit around Earth. Astronomers were surprised at this as the Moon is the only large object in orbit around the Earth[1] and anything else would have been ejected long ago due to perturbations with the Earth, the Moon and the Sun.

Therefore it must have entered into Earth orbit very recently, yet there was no recently-launched spacecraft that matched the orbit of J002E3.

Hal9000,

What about these photos? (notice they were taken on the 1st year anniversary of 9-11, at the EXACT minute both planes hit WTC 1 and 2, 8:46, 9:02)



It says they were taken separated by ten-minute intervals with 60-sec. exposures each. If that is true then this must be the most fast and most slow object in the entire world. If it can move that far of a distance in 60 sec's, but only 10 minutes later, still be near the same stars it was 10 minutes earlyer, then WTF?

Hal9000 you have to be incorrect, and these objects are in fact long and skinny.

Why do you feel that you need to debunk this perfectly reasonable explanation that this is a leftover part from an Apollo Mission? I think you're the one who's not capable of objective thought. There is plenty of evidence that suggests that this is "apollo space junk".

Funny... every article of official explanations says "could be" "May be" or "most likely" yet you guys here are absolutely certain the mystery is solved. Perhaps you should call up the experts and let them know so they too could be sure. Show them your evidence... what's that? You don't have any?

What I want to know is where did it get the power to change orbits so many times. You don't just hop into a new orbit whenever you feel like it, and very precise orbits at that, orbits that are stable...

And how come so long to tell us what it might be? Well of course we all know NASA tells the whole truth and noting but the truth

:shk:





Yes, it could be something else, but the evidence does suggest the "apollo space junk" theory could be true. Before you discard the "Apollo third stage" explanation, maybe you should get your facts straight regarding this story.

Actually the original footage is here:

There is also a 480 page report about the incident and what really happened. Its not for this thread but if your interested in what happened u2u me

No the theory can NOT be true. Objects like that do not stay in orbit long AT ALL. They are forced out. Apollo 12 was launched in 1969 thats too long.

I've read that NORAD tracks over 30,000 man made pieces of earth-orbiting space debris as small as tennis balls on a 24/7 basis. If it is indeed round in shape, this object is probably a big chunk of rock that was passing through the solar system at just the right angle and speed to get trapped in a distant earth orbit. The troubling aspect to this story is how it apparently sneaked in the back-door without being noticed. Something larger may be enroute and pass even closer, which could be a disaster if it too gets trapped and ultimately falls to earth. Is it likely that the 60 foot wide object we're talking about in this thread will slow and plunge to earth? Hopefully by the time it burns through the atmosphere, not much of it will be left!

What about it being the tether from the tether experiment that they ended up losing? Just a guess.

Thought of that too, the tether was 20km long however. It could be wrapped and looped etc...I cant find any info on the fate of the tether after it failed.

I'm going to risk ridicule here and suggest that this object is man made but it is not what hey claim it is (NASA)
It has GOT to be something important enough for them to come up with a ridiculous story like they did.
So here I go with my guess/theory; I think it may be an orbiting space based weapon of some kind, probably part of a missile defense system against land based weapons or possibly for land AND space based threats.
The other poster was right (sorry i forgot his name) for NASA's official story to be true, this object wouldve had to beat impossible odds to make it back to an Earth orbit.

Is it really orbiting earth twice as far as the moon orbits the Earth, as the
BBC news report states? If so, doesn't that rule out almost anything man-
made?

AHahaha yeah but they couldn't track two planes on ground radar on 9/11 because 'there was too many blips on the radar', and 'the planes turned their transponders off.'

Yandros, I think you're referring to the FAA not being able to alert the military until it was too late on 9/11/2001. NORAD if focused on military threats and tracking man-made objects in outer-space.. SEE: www.norad.mil...

If it were a meteor and orbiting Earth, why wouldn't the line follow behind it, rather than under it?

It definitely looks like an unnatural object to me.

Oh yes and I suppose hijacked planes aren't considered military threats? Let me let you in on a little secret. Whenever there is unmarked unidentified metal flying in US radar, NORAD knows all about it.
