From anyone seeing my earlier post, don't misunderstand my idea as pointing to a big conspiracy.
I'm just saying that 95% of the story as we have it is correct, and another 5% falls through the cracks of history when the first hand accounts and documentation fail to reveal everything. In fact, sometimes the documentation speaks, but the first hand accounts fail to mention it: My example the Gemini 10 mission transcript:
00:59:32 P Hey, I see stars ! No, I see a bogey. Look out here, John.
00:59:36 C You get your head back in that cockpit !
00:59:37 P Look ! There's a light up there, John can you see - can you yaw around, there's a light--
00:59:43 C We don't have any trouble - we don't have any time to fool with it now.
00:59:48 P I see a big bright light out there, I tell you ! John ! Mark the time. Is the voice tape running ?
00:59:55 C Yes.
00:59:56 P Okay. Whatever time it is here.
00:59:59 C You don't even have to look at it.
01:00:00 P Where I am, at 1 hour GET we got a bright object. Looks like a planet or something - looks like it's in orbit with us. Looks like it's in a higher orbit and going the same way.
01:00:11 C It's the booster.
01:00:12 P Now its just - now its still ahead of us; its ahead of us slightly.
01:00:17 C Well if the booster is lower than we it's off--
01:00:20 P ...cause you know John is a meany and won't let me look, but it's out at high, 1 o'clock high, ahead of us and higher than we are.
01:00:28 C Okay.
01:00:29 P And all I'm doing is pushing 95 on voice track.
01:00:36 P Oh, golly that's incredible ! I can't get over the beauty of it.
01:00:41 C Don't you look out that window !
01:00:42 P (Moan) What a slave-driver, John.Later: 01:38:49 P Well, man, look at those ! They are beautiful ! What's that flashing on the right ? Is that the Agena ? See it flash ? What? John, do you see what I see ?
01:39:01 C Yes.
01:39:03 P What the heck is that ?
01:39:05 C I don't know.
01:39:13 P I see - is this tape recorder still running ?
01:39:14 C Yes. I don't know what those are.
01:39:28 P Okay. They're at 12 o'clock; the time on it is 01:39:00 and they are directly ahead. They appear to be coaltitude and there are two extremely bright stars - I'd say about 1 degree apart. The one on the top is slightly to the left of the one on the bottom, and a about a degree below those two is a flashing light, a smaller magnitude light which is visible all the time and which periodically flashes. There went flash; mark. Flash ; mark.
01:39:49 C Oh, I can't - there's no telling what they are.
01:39:53 P It's really weird. And when I first saw those, I could see sunlight. I could see the earth lit by sunlight in the lower right of the windows and the spacecraft nose was still in the light. And I see these two bright objects deadahead. See those, John ?
01:40:11 C Yes. Think we ought to report to ground ? No, let's not.
01:40:14 C Those aren't stars. Can't be.
01:40:18 P Why don't you report it ? Tell them what you see. See what they say.
01:40:20 C This is Gemini X, Houston. We have two bright objects up here in our orbital path. I don't think they are stars; they look like we are going right along with them.
01:40:32 CC Roger.
01:40:34 CC Gemini X, Houston.
01:40:36 C Gemini X, Go.
(Conversation about ascent solution) 01:41:00 CC Where are the objects from you ?
01:41:02 P What did he say ?
01:41:06 C I don't know.
01:41:07 CC If you give us a bearing maybe we can track them down.
01:41:11 P John, You want--
01:41:13 C They just disappeared. I guess they were satellites of some kind.
01:41:19 P ...Sun is shining --
01:41:20 C Satellites of some kind.
01:41:21 CC Roger. Any ideas out there ? What satellite at that time had a flashing light and could create two other bright lights a degree apart ? Where was the Agena ? Could it create such a sighting that early in the mssion ? Did anyone ever explain it? Unfortunately the two to best ask are not readily available for interviews.

They were the Flying Saucers sent to drop off my first wife's mother.[This message has been edited by Duke Of URL (edited November 13, 2005).] | |
