Anyone seen this video before? It's NASA footage from shuttle mission STS-75, circa 1996, and is aka "The Tether Incident". It’s almost 7 minutes long, but an interesting watch.

What it shows is a 12 mile stretch of tether that broke loose from the shuttle. The tether has a multitude of circular-shaped objects flying around both in front of and behind it. When compared to the length of the tether, some of these objects look to be more than 2 miles across. Their origin is unknown.

Some say it's the smoking gun.

I'm open to the idea of visiting aliens but that film looks like a bunch of space junk floating around out of focus.

Its all diffraction artifacts from the lens playing with tiny specs of dust and shiz. Nothing more.

P.S. I am open to the idea of Alien life as well...just not in this video.

I think the point of the video is that the artifacts are *behind* the 12 mile tether. There are lots of other NASA videos showing all sorts of strange shit going on up there.

For the most part, the objects in the video went in straight lines at a constant speed which could be just inanimate matter floating around. Towards the end, there were two objects that I saw that stopped and changed direction. I am sure that there could be a logical explanation for it and I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it is extra terrestrial life, but I do find it interesting.

I do believe that there is life on other planets. I don't know if they have come in contact with us or even know of our existence, but I do admit to seeing some pretty odd stuff in the sky while in Peru that really seemed as if there could be no other easy explanation.

One astronaut said when they went around the backside of the moon, there was some kind of factory visible with smoke or steam venting.. The video footage of it was later deleted by NASA.

That doesn't look like any proof to me, however whether there is life out there or not isn't a matter of finding proof it's simple mathematics. We know that life CAN exist in the universe because we are living proof. We also know that intelligent (subjective) life can exist in the universe because we are also living proof. Now if you factor in the amount of planets within the goldilox range (the distance from a sun in which temperatures can exist where organic life can be produced) of stars in the entire universe, and it would be a mathematical impossibility for other life to exist elsewhere in the universe.
