UFO enthusiasts are now speculating that recent NASA video from the International Space Station was suddenly cut due to overwhelming video evidence of a UFO that is captured descending our planet. NASA officials are now quick to point out that there are no solid evidence of this event.
With the latest Jupiter mission, NASA's Juno spacecraft is now honing in over cloudtops of the gas giant, including the space agency's Curiosity rover on Mars that is also back to work after suffering a technical anomaly last week. However, for some reason, news of UFO footage captured by NASA seem to circulate online every once in a while as UFO enthusiasts are adamant that the space agency could be hiding something from the human race.
This latest alleged sighting was captured by NASA's High Definition Earth Viewing experiment, which is an ongoing project at the International Space Station.
A Youtube user by the name of StreetCap1 posted this controversial footage last Saturday, as an unidentified flying object is seen entering the atmosphere of Earth, stating that there was indeed, an interesting camera cut off when the UFO appeared to stop.
This Youtube post does not suggest that the flying object captured on video is an alien spacecraft, even saying that this can be something more mundane like a meteor or space junk. After posting last weekend, this video has since then reposted several times, emphasizing how NASA deliberately shut down its live feed, due to something suspicious and worth hiding from the public.
According to NASA official, Daniel Huot, this video taken from the High Definition Earth Viewing experiment that is aboard the ISS, which is also externally attached on the space station. The experiment includes seven commercial HD cameras that are all directed at Earth and each is enclosed inside a pressurized housing, complete with temperature controlled settings. This ongoing project is also on automatic controls that completes a cycle via different cameras.
This would only mean that no one in particular is controlling the HDEV, that first launched in 2014, which means that no one would be able to cut the feed when UFOs will enter into frame. This supposed UFO news seem exciting but a simpler technical solution for the feed is the answer to this sudden video cut that appears to be hiding evidence of a UFO. NASA officials say that the feed freezes before it cuts into a technical difficulties announcement online.
Huot explains that the space station can pass out of range from the Tracking and Data Relay Satellites that are used to transmit video, voice and telemetry data from the station. When this happens for video, the ISS loses this signal, and the cameras will automatically show a blue screen that indicates no signal or a preset video slate.
For those who regularly watch hours of NASA's live feeds, UStream channels and otherwise, this can occur sporadically.
NASA officials also speculate that this object could be the moon, space junk, or even reflections from the space station's windows. It can even be the spacecraft itself or lights originating from Earth that might appear as artifacts in photos or videos when taken from the angle of the ISS.
