Space
Zone....
Report by SEDS
(Students for the Exploration of Deep Space).
IT IS that
time of year already. Well you have to start it of with a
X-File or two... As we are normally very serious. Who says
we don't have humor, well we hope it is! Report by
Ananova.
IMAGES claiming to be proof of alien UFOs will be shown to members of the
public at the National Space Centre later this month.
Hundreds of the objects were captured on film by the Solar and Heliospheric
Observatory (Soho), a spacecraft a million miles from Earth observing the
sun.
The glowing, saucer-shaped "craft" were apparently moving in a way that
suggested intelligent control.
NASA originally dismissed the images as being the result of a camera fault,
and will not now comment on them.
But UFO investigators are convinced they are spacecraft flown by aliens.
Mike Murray, 54, a founder of the UFO group Euroseti, which is holding the
exhibition at the Space Centre in Leicester, said:- "Some of the pictures are
real crackers. They are the archetypal flying saucers - disc-shaped objects
with some kind of glow around them. Many have a pulsing light and leave a
trail behind them."
Mr Murray, who has been interested in UFOs for 30 years, obtained the images
from a Spanish businessmen who picked them up from Soho using a giant
satellite dish at his home outside Barcelona.
Mr Murray said:- "The first thing we did when we got the images was to speak
to NASA, who said it was a camera fault. But by enhancing the images we
proved this wasn't the case."
He said NASA then suggested the objects could be asteroids or comets - but
this did not explain the way they appeared to move independently and make
turns.
The images will be screened at the National Space Centre on the evenings of
January 24, 25 and 26.
We will do a full
Space Zone with some more, well down to earth topics next
week. Happy New Year from all of us un UK SEDS.
