    Did an Apollo 17 Astronaut see a UFO ?

    Two astronauts of Apollo 17 collect rock and soil samples and suddenly one of them gets really excited as he spots "something weird" flying over his head .

    Normally NASA astronauts follow a "script" and they know exactly what and when to say.
    This astronaut however was too shocked by something he had never seen before. He forgets his "lines" and no longer follows the script. Instead a long and not planned discussion and conversation starts. The astronaut is truly amazed. Unlike his colleague, who seems to be in charge. The astronaut asks what these objects were that flew over his head. Than it becomes hilarious. Flabbergasted, the second astronaut does also not know what to say! This was not planned and not in the script. He is however aware of the fact that they are being watched by NASA officials.

    After a short period of silence he says that it was a blast coming from the dial shaped disc of the high gain antenna on the rover (vehicle). More objects start flying over and again we hear genuine excitement. Than the astronaut realizes that he had said something he should not have said in front of the cameras and NASA. He reluctantly accepts the vague explanation. He is really annoyed and you hear sarcasm and disbelief in the undertone of his voice.

    NASA tries to save this unpleasant situation and intervenes as CAPCOM confirms that it was a blast from the antenna and that it happened before.

    According to the astronaut who clearly is in charge, this blast from the antenna is just "routine".

    This is an interesting video. Styrofoam blowing up? This has happened before? When this really would be the case, would they not have taken countermeasures? Space programs are planned with utmost precision and they do not take any risks with equipment and astronauts. So what do you think after having seen the footage? Was it a blast from the antenna? Exploding styrofoam? Or is someone not telling us the truth and these two astronauts had a couple "visitors" passing by.

    Was it really UFO he saw then , well , see for youreself ( its pretty quick )

    Nasa did edit the original. They created the altered image as part of the ALSJ project. It was taken from there and has been passed around the conspiracy circles as genuine. http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/Hi...sj.funpix.html

    What if NASA is hiding the fact that they raced lunar rovers?

    Re: Did an Apollo 17 Astronaut see a UFO ?

    To take this thread slightly more seriously, I'm sure at least one astronaut has indeed seen a u.f.o., something that the flight controllers weren't aware of and doesn't fit the available "facts", which is why we have the term u.f.o. in the first place

    The mistake most conspiracy theorists make is to assume u.f.o. = aliens, which is a logical fallicy.
