93

Now we have a very amazing "ring" of coloured lights. As can be seen, they resemble a disc seen almost on edge, with multicoloured "running lights" on the perimiter. The enhancement of this photo amounts to turning the brightness, and contrast, up to maximum. One wonders what this could actually be. It is certainly not ice crystals, nor any debris this writer is aware of.

All in all, some very unusual events occured during the STS-93 Flight. These objects remain unexplained.

***

At all times during this event, 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.

STS-93 Chandra X-Ray Observatory DVDs Now Available At Project P.R.O.V.E.!
The STS 93 Mission was launched 23 July 1999. Amongst the CREW, was the first woman to command a Shuttle mission. The purpose of the mission was to deploy the Chandra X-ray telescope. The mission went off without a hitch. Well, almost without a hitch if you choose to ignore the object that seems to hover by the side of Chandra minutes after the release of Chandra. This object seemed to come from nowhere and it stayed by the side of Chandra. While this was going, on somebody at mission control was adjusting the lens aperture, and making the picture go from light to dark. When this proved fruitless in hiding the object, the live feed was cut. It is also interesting to note that prior to the appearance of this object, which seems to stay with Chandra, we had other objects appearing on screen moments after the release of the orbiting observatory. These objects did not appear to be as close to Chandra as our "main" object, but somebody at seemsNASA not to have liked to view them. Every time a new object appeared on screen, the camera was moved to a new "clean" part of the screen, where no anomalous objects could be seen. One has to wonder what it is that made NASA Mission Control personnel so nervous. © 2000 ANDY ELLIS - DIRECTOR YORKSHIRE UFO INFO First series of photos courtesy of L.L. Wille

These three pictures show Chandra just as the release was made, please notice how clear the shots are.

These shots are further into the sequence and as you can see lens aperture has been opened a considerable amount and now Chandra is the very bright object top/centre of the shots. Somebody only started to adjust the lens when these objects started to appear.

The lens has now been closed back down and Chandra is more clear and easier to view, but we can now see the object near Chandra.

The lens is still being closed down, allowing less light to enter. Still we can make out Chandra and the object that seems to be holding position.

These are the last few shots before the live feed was cut, as we can the camera is still been kept at a lower setting but Chandra and the object are very clear...........it was only a matter of seconds after these shots that the feed was cut. © 2000 ANDY ELLIS - DIRECTOR YORKSHIRE UFO INFO The next part of this story is from Jeff Challender
