 Dr. Musgrave |
Admits attempts to communicate with ET
Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-80 took a crew of five astronauts into a 17 day, 15 hour and 54 minute mission around the earth, the longest flight in the history of this vehicle. During this lengthy flight a very strange event occurred that even had crewman Dr. Story Musgrave unable to explain what he observed from the shuttle windows. A large disc shaped object appeared below the Columbia. The shuttle was approximately, 190 Nautical miles high.The disc was first observed to miraculously appear from out of nowhere, flying through the clouds below and progressing from right to left as the astronauts stared in utter amazement. The outer rim of the craft appeared to be rotating counter-clockwise. It was very large (compared to common space junk and breakaway ice), approximately 50 to 150 feet in diameter. During an earlier interview, Dr. Musgrave stated he attempted to communicate with ET life forms during each of his six missions. He actually asked them to take him with them. Now that’s an astronaut with a lot of courage. Dr. Musgrave retired after this flight from NASA. Since then he’s been spreading his considered opinion that alien life exists. When Musgrave speaks of this, it’s no great leap for one to assume he’s admitting knowledge of alien life. As the final slide of a “Grey” ET was shown during a recent astronomy presentation by Dr. Musgrave, he made this surprising comment: “These guys are real… I guarantee it!”
So is this for real or are they spiking the Tang these days? I’m sure these guys are screened psychologically for these missions. From the readers I expect the usual banal comments. (Yes, just like my Tang reference).
E.T. phone toupee shop…
The most fun thing about DU is determining just how misleading the topic headlines are.
In this one for instance, there is no confirmation at all.
Confirm: Establish or strenthen with new evidence of facts.
One persons opinion or statement standing alone is not evidence or fact.
I guess that they didn’t have any cameras on the mission.

#2 – bobbo,
Good point. Further, eyewitness testimony has been shown time and again to be among the least reliable forms of evidence. I think I’ll wait for the video footage from the shuttle camera.
#1, Now thats funny.
#2. I do agree, I would have like to have seen comments from at least one other crew member, who knows, they didn’t retire and would like to continue with their careers?
#4. I wouldnt hold my breath.
I believe in Extratesticles.
“From the readers I expect the usual banal comments.”
Don’t Tase me Bro!
Sounds like BS to me:

All UFO’s are military vehicles derived from the weird things Germany developed.
The alien-angle is a joke that has run too long which only a bunch of no-life idiots believing any of it.
I’m sure these guys are screened psychologically for these missions.
They sure are… just, some slip through…
#11, you sir, beat me to it.
Come on you don’t expect me to believe that – they’re still drinking Tang on these flights?
Regarding ETs or whatever Dr. Musgrave might have seen – I certainly don’t dismiss the report. My first thought is that there’d be little reason for extraterrestrials to be interested in observing the shuttle up close, or in startling the astronauts; but maybe they see it as an interesting observation of a species in rapid transition.
Unless a giant spaceship descends in the middle of LA, like in Independence Day, the government will never acknowledge the existence of ETs.
The simple morons of this country would be unable to handle it as it doesn’t fit into the geocentric religious dogma that we have been brainwashed into believing.
I saw video of this live from the shuttle on CNN and have been Googleing it for months in search of the video. I don’t really care if it was ET, but the event did happen.
Uh-oh. That would explain the aluminum-foil fez I found in the back of a cab recently with ‘gq’ felt-tipped inside the brim. (apologies to pedro)
gq, before going there you need to ask yourself – why can Kang and Kodos cross millions of lightyears of space to get here, yet somehow never manage to find LA or NY, so fiendishly well-concealed are they.
No, they are – ALWAYS – just exactly careless enough to only let themselves be accidentally seen by some lone flakes out in BF, Egypt who never, ever own even one of the tens of milllions of modern cameras that even the Wal-Mart Supercenter in BF, E sells. Riiiight. Mere coïncidence.
The Xian “God” is more credible than that Ed Woodworthy scenario.
Something you’ve gotten exactly bassackwards is that the morani, contrary to your impression, have been brainwashed into believing that such astronomically improbable things could actually be true.
Wonderful how the “aliens” and “craft” that people report seeing always keep up with the times. UFOs sighted in the 1890s looked just like the newfangled dirigibles. After a Hollywood science fiction movie shows a discoid craft, people start seeing discoid UFOs. Aliens keep changing their appearance, time after time after time, always “appearing” to people as whatever the “alien” conceptions going around in the popular media happen to look like.
Of course, as always, along with exactly and precisely zero physical evidence of their existence – the best form of evidence, as opposed to, as M Scott noted, “eyewitnesses,” the very worst of all forms of evidence – the amazing similarities between published “images” and all subsequent “sightings” is all just coïncidence.
Ya. Suuuuuure. 😉
Oh, yeah. Here’s another I forgot; It’s only a “coîncidence” that time and time again, the people who report alien encounters turn out upon investigation to also be rurals who are Xian fundamentalists – that is, they’re not only isolated from a lot of the modern rational world, they’re also already believers in absurd things that lack all credible evidence. PURELY COINCIDENTAL!
Yuk-yuk-yuk. Aw-haw!
#16 You are a close minded fool. And if you read my post, I didn’t say what he saw was a UFO, but even if he did, and they have been visiting here, the government would never tell you about it for the reasons I stated.
“the government would never tell you about it for the reasons I stated.”
Ah, yes. Those uncorruptable govt officials. Never tempted by the instant global fame and incalculable riches that would go to that one person who breaks weak and spills the beans. No, the thousands and thousands of individuals in on the conspiracy – exactly like all these other “conspiracies” – would have to hold their meetings in, as I say, Madison Fucking Square Garden. Such unswerving dedication to the cause! Such integrity! Such horseshit!
You could waterboard these guys & gals ’til the Greys come home and they wouldn’t let the govt’s secret out of the bag. You know, that incredibly competent and efficient outfit that makes the Keystone Kops look like a Mensa convention?
No, they can’t let the public know that aliens really exist, because, as everyone knows, if they did, then…
then…
er…
um…
ah, that is…
well, you know…
aaah, they could…
what I mean is, they might…
well, what if they…
it would mean, ah,…
maybe they might…
um…
if they, y’know…
ah……..

WELL, GODDAMMIT, THEY MUST HAVE THEIR REASONS!!
They didn’t do such a bang-up job keeping Musgrave from blowing their cover, now did they?
Oops. I forgot. Now that he doesn’t come to work at any NASA facility, he’s beyond their reach. They’re powerless to stop him…
Yuk-yuk-yuk. YEE-haw, aw-HAW!! HohohohohoHO! 🙂
No, they can’t let the public know that aliens really exist, because, as everyone knows, if they did, then…
Asscat, I guess you really can’t read. Religion is based on God creating earth and man in his image. It does not allow for other worlds or other life forms. If they ever appeared, the religiously indoctrinated would not be able to handle the contradiction of what they have believed in their entire life. Results, panic ensues and order breaks down. That’s why.
Gee, how interesting… the guy saw something disc-shaped in the ‘clouds’ from that altitude?
Cloud tops are pretty much way-y below where the shuttle orbits.
If it was 50-150 ft. in diameter (okay let’s just say 75 ft.) he’s got darn good eyesight. He could even tell it was spinning, and in which direction. Maybe he’s got some kind of mutation that allows Superman-type telescopic vision. Or maybe the clouds came from a leaky shuttle toilet.
Sensational stories all too often leave questionable information like that, so easy to find.
Sounds to me like he may have a popped thruster or something. Hey, astronauts are people just like the rest of us, and can go through mental changes too that no amount of screening and testing would be able to detect beforehand.
THC, you’re 100% correct. When the shuttle came apart over the New Mexico desert and sparsely populated Texas, thousands of people saw it. They even got photos!! So, all this UFO stuff is definitely crap. Maybe some life form exists out there, but it ain’t in our neighborhood, and it ain’t flying in saucers or blimps.
I’m sure these guys are screened psychologically for these missions.
Yeah, but NASA screwed up with Scott Carpenter, and have made plenty of mistakes since then.
Oh, I dunno, gq. I kinda doubt:
(a) that John Hagee’s or Fred Phelp’s microcephalic followers are gonna run amok in the streets. A rash of catatonia – sitting, staring into space and mumbling, plus the odd self-inflicted fatal gunshot wound, would account for most of it. The people of today, even the religious loonies, aren’t the people of 1939, listening to the Mercury Theatre on the radio… humans, including even dunces, are surprisingly mentally resilient.
(b) that anyone of any consequence in govt has enough conscience to give two shits whether that happens or not. And there would be others just as adamant that mankind has the right to know – and in this day and age, they could spread the news worldwide before anything could be done to stop ’em.
And you’re forgetting the eternal wisdom of Ben Franklin (the only President of the United States who was never President of the United States):
“Three people can keep a secret, provided two of them are dead.”
Actually, the current junta would welcome such a scenario as a made-to-order excuse for imposition of martial law and the subsequent installation of King Dubya, Emperor Chimp of America…

“THC, you’re 100% correct.”
Y’know, I get that a lot. 😉
nobody drinks tang anymore… it is either snorted or mainlined..
I am calling BS on the original article… I just don’t accept that Story Musgrave said those things. I can see him saying something like… “The universe is a big place, and life is probably common throghout it” or something to that extent. But I just can’t see him saying that he saw a UFO, and that the greys are for real… Even if he really saw them.
On the other hand if these quotes are true (and I bet they are not) you can bet your ass that he has seen Greys for real…
From an objective standpoint:
1. If anyone is going to know about the existence of extra-terrestrial beings, it’s going to be NASA.
2. If anyone is going to see them, it’s NASA.
3. If anyone is going to interact with them, it’s NASA.
That all being said, it seems that there is an awful lot of evidence that has been released and witnessed by average individuals that confirms the existence of Extra-terrestrial vehicles.
However, the simple fact that there are too many people that it would take to keep their mouths shut and actively keep real, hard evidence out of the public’s hands to make it even remotely plausable that Human Beings have interacted with Alien Life Forms.
This is a government that can’t out a CIA operative without imploding and you think they’re capable of keeping THIS a secret?
#21. “Cloud tops are pretty much way-y below where the shuttle orbits.” Nice catch, surprised that nobody else noticed that.
#16. THC- If there were a legitimate picture, would you believe it legitimate. No. Your argument falls apart here.
and here- “No, they are – ALWAYS – just exactly careless enough to only let themselves be accidentally seen by some lone flakes out in BF, Egypt” check his credentials, and others who are legit.
one more- ““Three people can keep a secret, provided two of them are dead.”
Uh, sure, but just how could you know….being that its SECRET. The government can keep secrets, do it all the time. Most eventually are exposed.
C’mon senor Pussycat, your a bright guy, I know you can do better than that.

Ya asshat. That gq guy is right. Watch it dude. He is really smart. In fact I heard that his doctor even had to give him some stupid pills so he wouldn’t be so much smarter than everyone else. I hope you noticed they are working. Really well too. Only sometimes he takes more than he should. But that is OK. It puts him on par with the Westboro Baptist Church brethren. And those are some smart dudes.

Guess you don’t know me that well, I’m not very religious.
