A Massive black triangular UFO appears in two of a series of NASA’s own photographs.
This image, taken from on board the space shuttle Columbia mission STS-61-C in 1986 was only recently discovered in the archives and appears on “The Gateway to Astronaut Photography of Earth” website. Looks like the airbrushing dept at NASA missed a memo for this one.
Conveniently Unfortunately, the only image resolution available for this image is a rather paltry 640 x 480, however it clearly shows a very large triangular object some distance from the shuttle – clicking on the “Request Original File” link results in a webpage stating “Invalid file specified”. And how do NASA account for this object – “space debris”. Seriously, who writes this stuff!
That’s no moon.
“Space Debris” with equal proportions and straight edges.
Craft now turned pointing towards Earth.
Debris? Seriously – have you been drinking?
