Is NASA taunting, space dwelling, jellyfish with a million dollar satellite?

Some have commented about entities/critters being caught by satellites or filmed in outer space, this is interesting, giving that the footage taken in UV wavelength of the tether experiment in 1996 shows what looks like a school of jellyfish to me. Compare them to footage of deep-sea jellyfish and the similarity is amazing! If you’re interested in more information the site http://ufonasa.com/footage.htm sells the video and we provide this information for the curious.      The “Book of the Dammed by Charles Fort” is filled with reports of jelly falling from the sky, strange flying creatures, even in recent times policemen and other trained observers have reported living floating entities that resemble ocean going jelly-fish. Most often these creatures evaporate within hours, pieces of the creatures placed in jars, seem to turn to gas.

What about NASA?

Today we have some heavy-duty equipment just floating around in space with the singular mission of recording “everything”, from clouds, weather patterns, to what hostile countries are up to. Today NASA and the US Government with billions of dollars in high tech cameras are recording something around our planet at every moment. Is it any wonder that some of these images show unknowns?  Would we dare call them “unidentified objects?” You would think that NASA would release such information as soon as possible but instead we are meant with a complete denial of any such images. Just do a search on NASA’s Internet site for UFO’s and you get their disclaimer stating; no government agency is currently studying UFO’s.

NASA Statement

“No branch of the United States Government is currently involved with or responsible for investigations into the possibility of advanced alien civilizations on other planets or for investigating Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO's). The US Air Force (USAF) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have had intermittent, independent investigations of the possibility of alien life on other planets; however, none of these has produced factual evidence that life exists on other planets, nor that UFO's are related to aliens. From 1947 to 1969, the Air Force investigated UFO's; then in 1977, NASA was asked to examine the possibility of resuming UFO investigations. After studying all of the facts available, it was determined that nothing would be gained by further investigation, since there was an absence of tangible evidence.”    

The link to the full statement is here http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/facts/HTML/FS-015-HQ.html. Apparently they forgot all about the thousands of documents released to the public though the Freedom of Information Act proving the government’s involvement in the study of flying saucers. Don’t take my word for it, go to www.blackvault.com and thumb through a few hundred thousand documents if you feel the need to convince yourself.      But we are interested here, only in what organic life they may have recorded and the most likely candidate for this is the images captured during the 1996 zero point energy experiment preformed by the shuttle crew in which the satellite was lost when the tether mysteriously broke.     On 9-2-28, NASA released a press report, which gave their reasons for not retrieving their satellite after the tether broke.  One may wonder as I did after reading this release what their real reasons for not retrieving the satellite was.  

STS-75 Mission Control Center
Status Report # 14
Wednesday, February 28, 1996, 5 p.m. CST

 NASA managers decided today not to return Columbia to the TetheredSatellite for either a close inspection or a possible retrieval afterConcluding that propellant margins would not be adequate to support the operations. 
Officials were asked to investigate the possibility of a rendezvous withTSS.  After reviewing propellant margins, spacewalking considerations, andradar requirements, a decision was made not to fire Columbia’s engines to begin what would have been a six- day phased approach to meet up with thesatellite.
 The Tethered Satellite is currently 7,100 nautical miles ahead of Columbiawith the distance between the two spacecraft closing at the rate of 340 nmwith every revolution of the Earth.  The two spacecraft will pass within50 nm of one another about 11:48 p.m.  Thursday, at a Mission Elapsed Timeof 7/09:30. 

I can only wonder at the reaction of the astronauts when Mission Control suggested that they in their tiny, fragile little ship should approach and take back the satellite. Might I offer up the thought that fuel was not the deciding factor as to retrieving the satellite, but that the astronauts wanted little to do with wrestling a muti-million dollar piece of machinery away from a swam of gigantic space jellyfish and I can’t say as I blame them. The shuttle astronauts were filming a “zero point energy experiment” which involved the use of a satellite connected to the shuttle by a 14 mile long “tether”. On 2-25-96 this “tether” was snapped/ melted from the shuttle due to the large electrical current that was generated by this experiment. Three days later as the astronauts were filming the glowing tether quite some distance from the shuttle with UV sensitive film. What appears as a swarm of space “jellyfish”, cluster about the satellite and appear to be attracted to the energy given off by this device. Mr. Trevor James Constable filmed his “critters” in the infrared and here these seem to be visible in the UV and infrared range. Were they able to be recorded in the visible spectrum? Although NASA made no comment as to what the mysterious objects may be, their press release on that day was in part as follows, 

“Meanwhile, science teams for the Tethered Satellite System demonstratedtheir own brand of telescience throughout the night, commanding andreceiving data from their reactivated instruments on the satellite.  TheMarshall Space Flight Center's Research on Orbital Plasma Electrodynamics(ROPE), the Italian Space Agency's Research on Electrodynamic TetherEffects (RETE) and the Second University of Rome's Magnetic Field (TEMAG)experiments continue to collect what TSS Mission Scientist Dr. Nobie Stonecalled "very good data" about the satellite's interaction with its surrounding region of charged particles and magnetic fields.”

While they did not specify what “very good data” is one can assume that attracting, as a yet unknown space dwelling jellyfish would indeed fall into that category.  Or did they assume that jellyfish could be passed off as “charged particles and magnetic fields”?       

These activities included observations of electrically charged, orelectron beams and orbiter water dumps.  This will enhance the control andmonitoring of the electrical charge on the Shuttle as it moves through theionosphere.  During tethered satellite deployment, the tether's ability toform a complete circuit and generate electrical power will be dependent onthe path electrons take while traveling in the vicinity of the orbiter'simmediate environment and the satellite.  According to TSS-1R MissionScientist Dr. Nobie Stone, the science teams have already gathered "very interesting data" from these investigations.

 Here Dr. Nobie Stone makes the comment that they have collected “very interesting data”.  I am sure that film footage of space fairing jellyfish would easily fall into the category of “interesting data”. One of the investigations involved using the “Shuttle Electrodynamic Tether” their press release states they were going to fire a “fast-pluse electron gun” into space. It is no wonder they attracted some weird and perhaps unwanted visitors.     

Effects (SETS) experiment's Fast-Pulse Electron Guns to fire a series ofelectron beams along the Earth's magnetic field lines.  It also used theShuttle Potential and Return Electron Experiment (SPREE) to detectreturning electrons which were reflected back into the payload bay.  Thisreflection results from a variety of processes, including scattering byneutral particles and magnetic reflection.

      It seems as if the electron beams fired by the fast-pulse electron guns or simply the energy charge generated by the tether itself some how “chummed” the area and attracted these levitations to the near proximity of the shuttle.      There are numerous reports of strange material falling from the sky, spider web like filaments as well as mysterious goop that defies descriptions and often disappears as quickly as it came leaving few traces; might these be the remains of ethereal air dwelling creatures, maybe their spawn or eggs? Many people have claimed to hit critters/entities with their cars at night. What are these people hitting?  Their imagination wouldn’t leave remains on the windshields.

Anyone that has viewed the film footage of these objects will notice that the similarity to an organic creature is remarkable. They seem almost identical in behavior and movement to the deep-sea jellyfish filmed so often by both divers and the pilots of submersibles.      
In Michael Hesemann’s book “UFO’s the secret history” on page 263 he documents a September 23, 1978 sighting published in the Soviet party paper, Pravda which was seen by the occupants of the city of Petrosavodsk. The newspaper described the object as it was “throwing rays of light on the city” numbering “thousands of beams” they said it was an “intensely radiant star, which looked like a shining jellyfish”. This UFO later showered the city with “thin rays of light, like thin arrows” that “drilled thousands of holes in the asphalt and in window panes”. The newspaper article goes on to describe the object as ” a big jellyfish with golden tentacles, shining in beautiful colors”. Might this UFO have been a living creature that somehow became momentarily confused and entered a low enough earth orbit that for 12 minutes it was observed by a city full of people?      
It seems to me that they could be a number of explanations for these creatures. Perhaps some of them are ROV, or probes, or metallic ships, then again we may find that the universe is swarming with life, and that matter and life go hand in hand, inseparable from each other.  One thing we can be sure of, our limited knowledge we believe to be supreme in this universe, will continue to hamper our ability to advance that knowledge into something grander.  Our belief that no single living creature can survive in the near vacuum of space may be flawed. Seems ridicules, the solar radiation, the freezing tempertures, lack of breathable gas, would all kill an unprotected life form. The thought occurs to me that we managed to protect a life form and put it into space over and over again. Today it is so common to have humans in space that we would be hard pressed to tell someone if the shuttle was in space or on the ground.      
They tell us the universe is some 15 billion years old, and I have to wonder if in the time it took for the planets to develop life that perhaps life developed in outer space first or at the same time. Evolution may have developed solutions to problems just as our engineers developed devices to protect our astronauts. Then again videographers, and imagining experts may have plausible explanations for all these images. If these anomalous images were of strange creatures, then what would stop them from entering our atmosphere and how many UFO sightings might be organic creatures? The next time you find a pile of goop, stop and ask yourself is it a fungus or something…stranger?
