Description

EBE Award Winner! Best Film - International UFO Congress Film Festival. On March 11, 2000, in front of an assembled audience of UFO enthusiasts and the media, evidence was presented that would appear to indicate the existence of, not one, but two types of unknown extraterrestrial lifeforms. Labeled `Phenomena One' and `Phenomena Two' by a man who spent several years recording and logging thousands of hours of NASA space shuttle transmissions, this "historic" footage and the story that lay behind its discovery can now be revealed

It is exactly what NASA says it is.......2006-07-30

First of all, the feeds are live from NASA but they are also being recorded by Martyn Stubbs, a cable access company manager in Vancouver, who uses his own vision mixer to enhance the broadcast at times. While some of the footage is being tweaked, a lot of it remains untouched, except for the fact that the transmission system and recording equipment is very different to the quality of feed NASA was getting and recording. This means that there is some interference present on the tapes that the NASA tapes will not have. Asking us to call video interference space anomalies is far-fetched. However it does show some obvious artefacts that are not part of the feed but are in space and moving. These lights all have the same characteristics. They reflect light and they move in a straight line. The only light not to move in a straight line is one sequence which shows a light suddenly change angle. However this light is entering the upper atmosphere of our planet which can create this skipping stone effect. Other than this, all of the lights are moving in a straight line. Some fast, some slow, but they all follow a straight line. Between space debris and just particles of ice in space this stuff does not seem impressive enough to warrant anything other than what NASA calls ice particles, space debris and meteorites. I would expect this stuff to be there and so, hey presto, here it is caught on camera when the sun is shining on them. And in every instance it is precisely the sun or moon-glow which illuminates these objects. Given that we currently monitor 150,000 pieces of space trash, some about 6cm wide, that meteorites do enter out atmosphere, that moon-glow and the sun causes reflection on ice particles, why do we need to explain these artefacts as signs of intelligent life? The scientific answer is that we do not have to do this to understand what they are. Nobody in NASA is phased by this stuff. There are many scientists who describe what these are and have always gone on the record saying they are ice crystals, debris or meteorites. Instead this DVD just asks some new SETI director to comment and he starts yaking about a conspiracy against planet Earth. I am sorry but the UFO explanation is not in the least bit scientific. Think of Sherlock Holmes.

Interesting footage of ice crystals, space debris and meteorites though.

Not exactly a smoking gun, but definitely some intriguing video.......2006-07-10

Secret NASA Transmissions: The Smoking Gun is certainly an interesting video, purportedly showing two kinds of unexplained light anomalies above the earth. These aren't just any old pictures and videos; these come right from NASA footage of space shuttle missions in the late 1990s. The title is an obvious attempt to get people's attention, as, obviously, these aren't secret transmissions at all. Martyn Stubbs, a cable access company manager in Vancouver, was able to tape earth-shuttle transmissions directly from a satellite feed. As he poured over untold hours of the footage, he quickly noticed the appearance of spherical objects, sometimes in significant number, on a number of occasions. These make for some rather striking images, as the objects are seen to perform some virtually impossible movements, including instantaneous 90 degree turns and incredibly fast movement in any given direction. You may have seen some of this shuttle mission footage on television shows such as Sightings several years ago. In one case, an object is seen to make a sudden turn in the opposite direction just before two beam-like images flash across the screen at its old position, leading to speculation that this remarkable video could perhaps show a UFO darting away from an earthbound laser beam attack of some sort. Oddly enough, this particular footage, which I found truly memorable, is little more than mentioned over the course of this documentary's 90 minutes. There's much more where that came from, though.

The video revolves around two different types of anomalies - the mysterious spheres that a number of astronauts have witnessed and a new type of anomaly that is all but invisible to the naked eye - unless you're an experienced video editor such as Martyn Stubbs. He knew he was picking up on something, but he really didn't get a good idea of what it was until he began breaking the video down into individual frames. There, on perhaps one of the sixty frames making up each second, he discovered what can only be described as streaks of light. These things move so incredibly fast that it's impossible to even conjecture what they could be, but Stubbs found them all over the place - not only on his downloaded footage from different shuttle missions but even on a CNN broadcast of a live spacewalk. I wouldn't go so far as to call these extraterrestrial life forms, but there is something there we definitely don't understand. NASA experts will readily talk about the spherical objects (which have been seen by astronauts as far back as John Glenn), seemingly in love with their ice particles explanation despite the fact it's been readily disproved, but almost no one even wants to be in the room when the second type of phenomena are discussed (one of the Hubble big kahunas literally got up and left when the subject was raised). They're really aren't any answers on this video, just questions of the most intriguing kind.

The Secret NASA Transmissions: The Smoking Gun is really quite impressive for what is basically a low-budget video. The introductory material manages to take us from the start of man's fascination with the skies all the way to the space shuttle in mere minutes - and it does so quite effectively. The overall format can be a little tiresome, however. I wanted to go ahead and see the footage, but I had to be content with short samples coinciding with Stubbs' explanation of what he saw and what he has done in order to try and understand what the anomalous objects might be. Finally, after an hour, the viewer is treated to the raw footage - not only of strange sightings from shuttle missions but several videos taken by Russian cosmonauts, as well. Stubbs is an engaging fellow (he sort of reminds me of the long-haired guy on The Lone Gunmen), but it's the raw footage that really matters here - and it's definitely unusual enough to merit attention.

Not Proof of Aliens - only more questions.......2006-07-04

I watched the DVD with great interest. I had approached NASA to verify if the information contained in the DVD was authentic. I am waiting for a reply. Three points I will make with regards to the materials:

1. Official NASA explanations

According to the DVD the material which slowed down and shot back immediately after a glow was seen was described as ice crystals. This explanation cannot be tenable because:

a) Ice crystals do not slow down suddenly as there is little friction in space
b) If the glow is the Shuttle's engines firing, this would have melted the ice, not turn it back.

I am not a scientist, but the explanations I just gave above was from common sense. Furthermore when the tether experiment failed, moving circular objects were seen in the distance hovering over the broken tether. The explanation given by NASA was that they were debris. The rotating debris did not behave like normal debris floating in space.

2. The Explanation given by UFO buffs:

Martin Stubbs and Birdsall believe that the objects described above are intelligent beings. It is true that the behaviour of these objects in space were unusual...but to conclude that these are aliens or intelligent life-forms is far-fetched.

3. A more objective opinion?

I don't buy NASA's explanations nor the UFO buffs'. The truth lies somewhere in between. These objects could a be a result of phenomenon which Man has yet to identify and discover. Why do unusual objects have to imply alien life forms? Alternative explanations should be sought. My opinion is that the DVD highlights phenomenon which needs scientific research. Skeptics should not deny that these objects may display signs of intelligence and UFO buffs should not be quick to conclude that these are aliens! What both camps can agree on is that science needs to advance further and examine what these objects are. Maybe then both camps can converge.

Furthermore: I do not believe for one moment that NASA is covering up evidence of alien/intelligent life. See my rebiew of the book, 'The Sirius Mystery', by Robert Temple.

Finally: The DVD has uncovered interesting material and should be of interest to scientists and non-scientists alike.

UFO Zealots Amongst Us~~.......2006-05-23

I would use the "twilight zone" theme song to start off this blog but, sadly it isn't even worth the effort. I find it more than humurous how some folks can't take a couple of minutes to look at the other theory or theories relating to this so called Proof of an "Un-Known" lifeform floating around our planet. The 1st rule of the Gub-Ments policy on aliens- ala project Grudge and Blue-book="If they really are "alien" life-forms or space-craft of some kind caught on NASA footage, do you really think for one minute, no make that one second that we/us-YOU would be watching it?...... in other words, if that footage was genuine in any way, the lid would have been slammed on it a long time ago, don't get me wrong this isn't feeding into some "cover-up" nonsense, it's just well.....perfect sense, don't let your emotions or belief systems get into the way of the obvious.
the that's all folks

A Xenobiologist's dream.......2006-01-30

First off, do NOT purchase the DVD version of this show because the transfer absolutely sucks. It is too dark and a green tint screws up the space footage. I've spoken to the manufacturer of the disc a few years ago about fixing the problem, but they still have not gotten around to making the DVD as good as the video.

As for the two negative reviews posted, ignore them. They do not know what they're talking about. The phenomena in this video's footage is NOT ice crystals or dust or easily explainable things, this is true non-terrestrial life that exists both in the atmosphere of our planet and out in space around it. I've known about these creatures for many, many years from passing remarks told to me from relatives and various friend's who had family working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California. Everything concerning them was very hush hush. Gladly this video was released to support Space Phenomena 1 & 2's existence. The best footage on the whole tape is the massive congregation of Space Phenomena 1 around the broken STS satellite tether. After you view this tape, you'll have a new understanding of space itself. That it has never been a void of life, but is actually a vast sea of life, full of creatures we know nothing about. Now it is up to NASA to stop hiding from the truth and get a branch of xenobiology going to study these lifeforms.
