SHUTTLE CHASED BY DIAMONDS
Dr. Oren Swearingin reports that on Saturday evening, June 8, 2002, at about 5 :35 PM, CDT, as the shuttle was crossing the
Atlantic, and going into orbital sunset, heading for the coast of Africa, the camera was looking back at the setting sun, as they
frequently do until the Earth was dark. The atmosphere was shining bluish white because of the backlighting from the sun in a
graceful arc with the Earth on the left screen and space on the right. When the camera zoomed out, the stars became visible
but one of them was strobing! Of course, in space, with no atmosphere, starlight is constant and unflickering so this was a
self-luminous object, a UFO! In a few seconds, at the lower right part of the screen, more UFOs appear, moving up toward
the left. At first, all that can be seen are four bright lights flying in a perfect four-sided diamond formation! In a few more
seconds, you can see two more lights flanking the diamond -- sort of like outriggers! Then, abruptly, the cameraman cuts
away--BUT, the image is still on the big monitor at Mission Control, and visible still moving toward the upper left--and
THEN, a second formation appears at the bottom of the screen. One light is even brighter than the diamond was! It appears
to be two lights but they realized their mistake and they cut the camera completely off, and go to a graphic instead! The entire
sequence lasted for a very short time, but it was a very clear picture -- not snowy as they so often are. The sighting was
confirmed by other PROVE researchers. Thanks to Dr. Swearingen, manfrommars@webtv.net-
