You believe that all UFO sightings can be explained Colin, fair enough your entitled to your opinion but please don't forget all of the credible witnesses ranging from, police, pilots, military, AND astronauts. Here are just a few of the many quotes from astronauts and other NASA employes: "All Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence." -Maurice ChatelainFormer Chief of NASA Communications Systems "It followed us during half of our orbit. We observed it on the light side, and when we entered the shadow side, it disappeared completely. It was an engineered structure, made from some type of metal, approximately 40 meters long with inner hulls. The object was narrow here and wider here, and inside there were openings. Some places had projections like small wings. The object stayed very close to us. We photographed it, and our photos showed it to be 23 to 28 meters away." -Cosmonaut Victor Afanasyev commenting on a UFO sighting that occurred while en route to the Solyut 6 space station in April of 1979. "At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a constant surveillance by UFOs" .-Astronaut Scott Carpenter-Carpenter photographed a UFO while in orbit on May 24, 1962. NASA still has not released the photograph. At one stage we even thought it might be necessary to take evasive action to avoid a collision. ;-Astronaut James McDivitt commenting on an orbital encounter he and Ed White had with a ;weird object with arm-like extensions which approached their capsule. Later in the flight they saw two similar objects over the Caribbean. I was testing a P-51 fighter in Minneapolis when I spotted this object. I was at about 10,000 feet on a nice, bright, sunny afternoon. I thought the object was a kite, then I realized that no kite is gonna fly that high. As I got closer it looked like a weather balloon, gray and about three feet in diameter. But as soon as I got behind the darn thing it didn't look like a balloon anymore. It looked like a saucer, a disk. About the same time, I realized that it was suddenly going way from me-and there I was, running at about 300 miles per hour. I tracked it for a little way, and then all of a sudden the damn thing just took off. It pulled about a 45 degree climbing turn and accelerated and just flat disappeared. -Donald Slayton, Mercury astronaut, in a 1951 interview. We have contact with alien cultures.-Astronaut Dr. Brian O'leary "Mission control, we have a UFO pacing our position, request instructions." -Astronaut Cady ColemanNASA Transmission - Shuttle Mission STS-73 "In my official status, I cannot comment on ET contact. However, personally, I can assure you, we are not alone! -Charles J. Camarda (Ph.D.) NASA Astronaut I could go on but I don't want to fill up your page with all the reported sightings from astronauts and NASA employs. As for astronomers having sightings, I suggest you google the following with quotations: "A LIST OF SIGHTINGS BY ASTRONOMERS". The publishers have 3 books that detail 859 sightings by astronomers, they can be found for free on scribd. All the Best,Paul
