STS-75 Tether Incident

On Sunday, February 25, 1996, the Space Shuttle Columbia deployed an experimental tether into orbit. The experiment was called the Tethered Satellite System (TSS- 1R) and it's purpose of this was to attempt to generate electricity by utilizing Earth's magnetic field.

Unfortunately the tether broke so the experiment was not a success, although approximately five hours of data were recorded.

What really made "The Tether Incident" famous was the appearance of many unidentified flying objects (UFOs) clearly visible in the NASA footage. Conspiracy theorists rejected NASA's explanation of space debris and ice particles...

  • The Tether was 20 ...

    The Tether was 20 KM long and 1 CM wide. It looks so thick because it is so far downrange, and the camera is bleeding the color of the tether over a number of pixles(1 pixle = 100 meters) this would have the same affect with any dust or ice particles in the field of view (FOV).

    Yes, space is a dusty place, especialy when a huge tether unexpectadly snaps off of it's base, and there's a water dump at the exact same time.

  • Flashing happens ...

    Flashing happens because the object rotates and light hits it at different angles when it rotates. The rotation is uniform too as it should be. It's blurred because it's very close to the camera and the camera focuses much further. It also doesn't actually have a hole in the middle, its just the way it looks like because its so close to the camera. You can get the same kind of lens artifacts if you shoot normal dust particles in the night on earth and keep them out of focus.

  • That's an ...

    That's an interesting point, and I see what you mean, but it looks like the object has a greater change of direction than the rotation of the camera lens would predict. It's very subtle, but also could be nothing since there's really no depth of field here. The object is also flashing, so, to me, something weird is going on here.

  • That's because the ...

    That's because the camera lens distorts at the angles. None of these dust particles change directions unless the camera moves or the shuttle uses its thrusters. There is nothing mystical here.

  • The object at 2:13 ...

    The object at 2:13 goes from left to right and then sweeps down as the camera pans out. That's not a straight line the last time I checked.

  • It's clear UFO's ...

    It's clear UFO's are real. We need to accept the fact that these objects exist and move on to the more important and puzzling question. Who's piloting these craft? is it secret government technology, alien beings from other planets. interdimensional beings, giant biological entities? is this not the question we all want to know?

  • People that think ...

    People that think that this is evidence of UFO's need to take a closer look, and use some critical thinking skills. Notice how THICK the tether looks? This is due to the optics, light, and image enhancements going on with the camera. Any debris will also be affected in the same way. Also note the trajectories of the debris - each one moves in a straight line, and doesn't change direction. This is debris. That's it.

    LOL this is legit NASA footage. Google it. Go to NASA archives. Educate yourself kid, the authenticity of this video is not in question in the scientific field, the question people are asking is; What are those objects floating behind the tether..?

  • Guys, no "debris" ...

    Guys, no "debris" can move on their own as these objects around the tether. Some of them are stopping and then turning back, and some are circling arround. What kind of "debris" have their own engines to perform these manouvers? To me this is a proof that there is something up there, even if these are some kind of living organisms in space.
