NASA Feed 'Goes Down As Horseshoe UFO Appears On ISS Live Cam' (mirror.co.uk)

schwit1 quotes a report from Mirror Online: NASA has been accused of an alien cover up after a live International Space Station feed appearing to show a horseshoe UFO suddenly went down. Conspiracy theorists are having a field day over the sighting of the strange U-shaped object hovering on the horizon of the the ISS. They claim NASA 'cut the live feed' after the glowing blue object flew too close to the space station. Some have even gone as far to say NASA's funding should be cut over their 'great alien deception.' Scott Waring of UFO Sightings Daily first discovered the UFO. He passed the footage on to Tyler Glockner who uploaded the video to his YouTube channel secureteam10. What do you think: is it an alien spaceship or something more likely such as a reflection from a station window?

    First they take my dish TV out last weekend during the playoffs, now they attack the space station.

    Clearly it was a reflection off a window. (Collects check from alien conspiracy.)

      I agree. The light is bent by a cloaking device. So we have double confirmation.

      The flash of light you saw in the sky was not a UFO. Swamp gas from a weather balloon was trapped in a thermal pocket and reflected the light from Venus.

      We have consensus. The science is now settled and anyone that says otherwise is a denier.

    But it probably is a cover-up: this blob looks very much like some kind of flying grassy knoll.

    Great points.

    What kind of experience does someone need to get a job in the NASA Alien Coverup PR department? I've been looking to join in one of the great conspiracies of our age and this seems like a solid growth industry with every whack job posting their crazy opinions on YouTube. J/K, right?

    The existence of aliens would drive demands for a HUGE boost to NASA's budget. So much for conspiracies.

    But let's pretend it's a UFO - "Build a dome and make them pay for it!"

    This is exactly the kind of misdirecting post someone at NASA would think up to deflect our attention from what they are REALLY trying to hide. How do you explain that the feed DID actually drop out after the reflection showed up?

    What if, the reflection, and the loss of feed are BOTH fabricated to distract us from something even bigger?

    Same reason they run the DMV. On their home world, bureaucracy was the lowest and most reviled form of torture, apart from throwing an entire species to the Lizard pits of Zith and or dropping a clone bomb with the dial set to "Flying Sarlacs of Yendor". For species they really and truly despise, they prefer the slow sisyphean cannibalism of bureaucracy.
