The Australasian Ufologist Magazine 2/2000 [antikvár]

With the release of 'The Secret NASA Transmissiotis: The Smoking Gun video, there has been quite a debate, both at UFO Public Meetings across Australia and New Zealand, and on the Internet. Until recently, all I can do is listen and read what others say about this 'hot' video. Early in May, I at last received a copy and was eager to examine what all the fiiss was about.My professional background is that of Cinematographer. I was trained in the use of CCD Cameras with years experience in their use and I am quite familiar with the' ytype of artifacts CCD Cameras produce. Chuck Shaw,.' HFlight Director on STS-75 shuttle flight believes that these objects are all artifacts of small debris/' >dust/ice particles/lens reflections/blooming/etc. Apparently, these are quite common. And I agree. After examining the video, there istnothing there to lead me to believe that we are looking at UFOs (i.e. extraterrestrial'crafts) or any larger terrestrial objects such^ ^as meteorites, space junk etc.?i; ,That is why NASA isn't making any comments. Why should they? There is nothing to comment on!Do this. Go into a very dusty room in the late aftemoon with the sun shining through the window. You can see all the dust particles, hair and other stuff that is floating about in that room. The same applies to a weightless environment. Under the right conditions, any artifacts that are present in the air will show up on the video footage.x4-But that's my opinion for what it's worth so \ don't that my word for it. Go out and get a copy for yourself. It contains other anomalous footage including the famous STS 48 shuttle footage that occurred over the Pacific Ocean, off the coast of New Zealand.Another great issue for you to read, ponder and debate. There are ancient asteonaut stories, abduction and contactée accounts, UFO hot-spot in the Blue Mountains, second part of the Guyra incident, the Tully UFO saga, Government files etc. We also have two new columns for you, Planet Watch and Science News, which is a roundup of NASA and astronomical discoveries. Happy reading.1Until the next issue.
