| The STS-84 Mission footage was what got me looking at the NASA missions more closely. For those of you who have read the "How I Started - Andy" page, you will know that this is the mission that introduced me to Wille and Jeff. | ||

When
I first saw the STS-84 Wille tape, I was very impressed, not only with
the equipment Wille had, but with the way he had gone about making the
video.
Wille
had made this video to show the World what he had found while he was
watching the NASA missions. I thought this was a very honest thing
for Wille to do, as many people would have been trying to sell the tapes
for big money.......... .....What's that I hear you say? Can I give
you an example? I can give you two: "Alien Autopsy" & "Alien Interview" |

STS-84 was launched 15th May 1997, and landed 24th May 1997. (click HERE for more information about the mission.) As with all of the NASA missions we are looking at on this site, we are sure that nobody was expecting to find the various objects that we have decided to talk about, and show you. On the STS-84 mission footage there are several objects that are of interest to us. We have picked the two that we have been looking at more closely, as we feel that these are not so easy to explain as ice or debris. Events start to happen after the shuttle has un-docked from Mir, and both the shuttle and Mir are seperating at a steady speed and course. A few minutes after the separation, we start to see several objects that are travelling from right/centre of the screen, to the left side of our screen, where Mir is positioned. Several objects fly past without incident, and many of these, if not all could be explaned away as ice or debris, as they do nothing strange or out of the ordinary. It is the second collection of three objects that really catches the eye. These three almost come in a formation with one object Top, Middle, and Bottom as we look at the screen. All three are travelling at roughly the same speed and direction. All are travelling from right of screen, to left of screen. When they get close to Mir, it is the object in the middle that does something truely amazing. As the objects close in on Mir, the objects at top and bottom continue on their course. The middle object STOPS, and HOVERS below Mir for 4-5 seconds before flying off on a NEW course. This object also appears to pass BEHIND Mir on it's new course, but we are not certain of this. I am sure we will agree that this object needed some sort of power to stop and hover, and some more power to push itself off in a new direction. Now it won't take long until the "ice" explanation starts, or even better yet, they might be labeled "tiny flakes of paint". This was the case with the head of Astronomy at Sheffield University, who actualy went on National TV (UK), and called these objects "flakes of paint". At yet another University, one of the Professors who had a copy of all our NASA tapes for SIX weeks, said he "found the footage very interesting, and he could not explain it, but that did not mean it could not be explained". The paint explanation had to be the worst ever offered for the STS 84 footage. This example tells us that the so called "experts" don't look at the facts, or the footage without bias. If the head of Astronomy at Sheffield University had looked at, and listened to the footage carefully, he would have heard Mission Control confirm the distance between the Shuttle and Mir as 2800 feet. And if, as appears on the footage, one of the objects flies behind Mir, how can these be paint flakes, and visible at a distance of 2800 feet..........so the "expert" has not viewed the footage carefully, or he would have realised that calling these objects "paint" makes him appear a fool. A paint fleck visible at 2800 feet is a HUGE "fleck of paint". So with the STS 84 footage, we have several things to think about: 1) How can this object stop and hover? 2) How does it push itself off in a new direction? 3) And does it fly behind Mir? Debunkers have admitted that objects with "a gentle bend are harder to explain". After reading this I was quite shocked, as we had one object on the STS-84 footage that had a long gentle bend. This object appears just after the hovering object has moved off screen, and a new bright object appears bottom of screen, and starts moving up screen. The object moves about 1 inch on the screen before moving away on a gentle bend to the right, where it disappears. This object may also be 2800 feet away from the camera, and the Shuttle. Not only is it large, but it is doing the one thing that some debunkers say is HARD to explain.

| These are the first collection of objects that fly all the way across the screen. | |

|
| As the camera moves down we can see a second collection of three objects close in on Mir. | |
![]() |
|
| The middle object stops and hovers just below and right of Mir. | |

|
| Here we can see the object in hover is quite bright next to Mir. | |
![]() |
|
| We can now see that the object has moved after a hover of about 5 seconds, the object is now near the top Solar Panels. | |
![]() |
|
| The Object is moving from Right to Left. The direction which the object should follow is made clear by the green track. | |

|
| This still is after the object has hovered for about 5 seconds before moving off. As we can see from the track to the left (GREEN) of Mir this is the course that the object should be following, but yet we can see that the object has had a huge change in direction and is now moving away on a NEW track (BLUE). | |

|
| Here we can see that the object is closer to Mir, and at this point the object stops and hovers. | |
|
Now, for your edification, we offer a short video clip for download. This little video should demonstrate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the object stopped, hovered, and changed course. It MAY have passed behind MIR, but for our purposes that is really immaterial. Please click on the link below for the download. |

The
"Bend" Sequence
These
are a selection of stills we have taken from the sequence of events we
are calling the "bend sequence".

|
| This
first still shows the object at the bottom of the screen, this object
is quite large, and pulsating.
The
GREEN dots are the course we have plotted
out for which the object should travel if it were ice or debris. |
|
![]() |
|
| This
still is only seconds after the first, and we can see that the object
seems to be keeping it's course of direction.
On
a TV secreen the object travels about 1 inch up before the change of
direction is noticeable.

|
| Here
we can see how the object has left the GREEN
course of direction it was travelling. The
object is now more to the right and we have shown its direction of movement
with a RED line. |
|

|
| This shot makes it very clear to see that the object is on a NEW COURSE of direction to the one it was first travelling. | |
![]() |
|
| Now the object has diverted even more from its original course. Ice and debris don't do this without the application of energy from an outside source. Remember this view is in extreme zoom, so what would cause ice chips to change course out there in deep space? Next, and last, is an animated GIF of the "Bend Sequence" for your inspection. | |

| GIF © 2004 Jeff Challender *** At all times during this incident, the camera was under the control of the INCO in Houston Mission Control. (INCO - INstrument & Communication Officer - The man in Houston Mission Control Center who is responsible for operating the Shuttle payload bay, and robotic arm, cameras. He also remotely operates the helmet cameras in space suits. In the case of ISS, this officer is referred to as the CATO - Communications And Tracking Officer. In both cases, these persons CONTROL everything which is PERMITTED to go out on broadcast to the public. It is a commonly believed falacy that the cameras are operated by Astronauts & Cosmonauts on the Shuttles, and Space Station. Very little camera work is done by the crews. They're way too busy for that.)
At the end of the day, it's up to YOU to draw your own conclusions. |
