NASA Investigates Itself
|
(Conspiracy Nation, 7/27/03) -- On February 14, 2002, writing
from the National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA), SpaceRef Interactive
reported that "America's first Space Shuttle, Columbia, will return to orbit
fresh from two years of work that have left it safer and more capable than
ever before." [1]
On February 1, 2003, something caused the Columbia to disintegrate.
It appears likely that NASA will declare the disaster to have been caused
by a foam tile. Since most Americans find it easier to just accept the bland
pronouncements of so-called science, whatever the so-called scientists decide
is likely to be submissively accepted. The minority of still-thinking Americans,
however, will want to review what is known and to make up their own minds.
The general lack of credibility of U.S. news outlets in certain key
areas causes thinking people, scorned by the same news outlets as "conspiracy
theorists", to rely on the foreign press for more truthful reporting. An
amazing indicator of the climate of these times is that Russia's Pravda
news has become a fairly decent source for information on scientific mysteries.
Following the Feb. 1, 2003 space shuttle disaster, Pravda, on Feb.
3, 2003, open-mindedly, in true scientific methodology, began their own inquiry
by declaring that "all versions of the catastrophe were possible."
One key piece of evidence, now disappeared down "the old memory hole,"
is that strange photos of the doomed spacecraft were taken by an amateur astronomer.
Writes Pravda, in an imperfect translation: "...some amateur astronomer
managed to take a picture of a strange phenomenon when the shuttle tragically
fell down; the pictures clearly depict a bright orange flash resembling an
electric discharge. Specialists cannot say so far what the flash could be."

The San Francisco Chronicle and other newspapers also mentioned
the puzzling photos, "five strange and provocative images of the shuttle
Columbia just as it was re-entering the Earth's atmosphere before
dawn Saturday. The pictures, taken with a Nikon 8 camera on a tripod, reveal
what appear to be bright electrical phenomena flashing around the track
of the shuttle's passage..." [3]
The San Francisco Chronicle followed up their Feb. 2, 2003 story
a few days later with a theory about the "bright electrical phenomena."
It may have been a "bolt of electricity in the upper atmosphere." Just as
lightning is followed by a thunderclap, the electrical phenomena seen in
the photos might have been followed by noticeable sound. Listening posts
monitor "infrasound," sound below the threshhold of human hearing which
travels much further than other sounds. "Investigators are combing records
from a network of ultra-sensitive instruments that might have detected a
faint thunderclap in the upper atmosphere at the same time a photograph
taken by a San Francisco astronomer appears to show a purplish bolt of lightning
striking the shuttle." [4] What became of this infrasound investigation?
Will NASA provide any information in its forthcoming report on the Columbia
disaster?
An article in the Toledo Blade corroborates that an infrasound
avenue was originally being pursued. "A little-known network of listening
devices, used partly to detect rogue nuclear tests, overheard Columbia's
death, recording explosions as the space shuttle broke apart 39 miles above
the Earth." [5]
But this sound connected with the Columbia disaster was no "faint thunderclap."
Eyewitnesses heard a loud boom, and an ultra-secret weapon was linked to
Columbia's destruction. "Despite the media spin of an unfortunate accident,
the nature of the crash of Columbia was evident from eyewitness accounts.
The telltale sonic boom from the deployment of the weapon was so strong:
'It was like a car hitting the house or an explosion. It shook that much,'
John Ferolito, 60, of Carrolton, north of Dallas, told the Associated Press."
[6]
Weather manipulation has been the dream of military planners for decades.
On D-Day, June 6, 1944, a break in the weather allowed the Normandy invasion
to proceed. If the allies had had control of the weather, they would not
have had to depend upon good fortune to enable a go-ahead; they could have
cleared up the weather themselves. There is also the implication of using
the weather as an aggressive weapon, such as sending a tornado against the
enemy. Middle East news outlet Al-Bawaba connected a freak tornado with experiments
conducted by NASA. On January 27, 2003, "an unusually powerful tornado struck
the island of Cyprus." Coinciding with the freak tornado, "in three different
locations - - at Houston Space Center, the Israeli Air Force Headquarters
'somewhere' in Tel Aviv area and (onboard) Space Shuttle Columbia - hundreds
of Israeli Air Force members and meteorology experts celebrated the
success of the joint 'experiment' carried out between the
Israeli Air Force and NASA's Space Center. The 'experiment' was
entitled: 'The creation of an artificial tornado, aided by dust storms.'"
[7]
So was it "bright electrical phenomena", a "sprite" or "Transient Luminous
Event" (TLE), which doomed Columbia? Or was the shuttle's doom connected
with advanced weather experiments conducted onboard? Perhaps the tragedy
was more sinister, caused by an exotic weapon. Scientist Tom Bearden says
that "extensive weather engineering and control has been very active all
over the U.S. for some time." This weather engineering
is not isolated into a neat compartment but intersects with top-secret advanced
weapons systems, such as "scalar EM (Electro-Magnetic) interferometry weapons."
A faction of the former Soviet KGB reportedly has had such a weapon since
at least 1989, if not earlier. For this KGB faction, the Cold War is not
over; they long for a return of the Soviet Union. Reportedly they leased
this advanced weaponry to the Japanese Yakuza, part of Japan's ancient Samuri
caste of warriors. The Yakuza, not part of Japan's government but nonetheless
extremely powerful, have never forgiven Japan's "loss of face" during World
War II. Especially cause for a long-smoldering vendetta is the bombings of
Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to this Samuri caste. They reportedly have been harassing
the U.S. for some time now, by means of weather attacks. [8]
A board, supposedly independent of NASA, has been investigating the Columbia
disaster and will soon issue a report. How independent the board is is questioned
in an article in the St. Petersburg Times. "Its 10 members,
who include three NASA officials, were appointed by NASA. Its
small staff consists of people on loan from NASA. And it remains to
be seen just how much authority the board will have in gathering information
that might embarrass NASA." [9] Extraordinary secrecy has surrounded the
so-called investigation. "The board investigating the shuttle Columbia
tragedy will give Congress -- but not the public -- limited access
to transcripts of confidential interviews conducted during its nearly five-month
probe..." [10]
