Those Astounding Discoveries

The longtime aviation junkie [an immediate dismissal of Jeff Challender... did you catch it?] started taping missions in 1997, just for fun, to edit each one into a documentary. But in 1999, he saw something that grabbed his attention: an illuminated dot, pulsating as it whizzed across the screen. Then, later, he saw many white dots moving around, changing direction and speed. "What were they? Challender has been tracking similar "anomalies," ever since.
"I want answers," says the former railroad laborer. "I believe something's going on and the facts are being kept from us."
NASA isn't so sure.
NASA can only assume a patent cloak of patronizing condescension to hide their arbitrary and authoritarian guile! See, along with Mr. Challender, this writer would have some ANSWERS! Lastly, describing Mr. Challender dismissively as a former "railroad laborer" was a cheap shot beneath the dignity of the SACRAMENTO BEE and akin to describing Edward Snowden as only a low tier intelligence analyst! Challender was obviously a man of intelligence who could see a project through to the end. What do we get from NASA but their inexplicable snow and an RGB roll! This is all well outlined in Challender's DOC.
Evans would proclaim an oddness from that time's NASA spokesman:
"I am not aware of any visuals of activity," says Fred Brown, then executive producer of NASA Television.
Evans continues to bury the lead...
Challender points to incidents where the camera seems to zoom in on one of the dots and then cuts off the live footage—signs, he says, of a cover-up.
Evans continues:
Nonsense, Brown says. "If those things were out there and we were trying to hide them, we wouldn't put them on NASA Television."
So, maybe a little sleight of hand and bait and switch. Moreover, they do try to hide them, reader, or why does the current visual signal come, now, only after significant time delays subsequent to some of the first anomalous and highly suspicious sightings? What's with all that moronic "snow" and RGB cloaking camouflage of what should be at least 1080p, if not Ultra HD?
Everything now has a censor's ready hand hovering over a button. Why? Boobies in space?
Additionally, they would plainly show some of the *sightings*, but only for the purpose of "hiding" them in plain SIGHT as "ice crystals" and space trash... distractionary mechanisms for later use! Be not fooled!
I aspire not to be, myself. 70, I've seen the world, been to the rodeo, and got the education. The carousel goes round and it's plain what's comin' after a few decades attention to it all. The Kingdom is at hand! Perdition, too. We might choose wisely!
"Challender is probably seeing bits of liquid or ice, close to the camera, blown around by jets of gas from the shuttle, says Seth Shostak, an astronomer at the SETI Institute, a nonprofit organization running what used to be NASA's 'Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence.' "
Ah, yes—Dr. Shostak of the late Stanton Friedman's well-named "Silly Exercise To Investigate." Just another game-guy who wants to keep his place at the funding trough, and a man reluctant to re-think his thoughts or re-do work once thought done? This writer is un-swayed! ...Evans relays a final smirking sneer of patronizing derision with the usual pixie-smile closing from Shostak:
"You have to be careful," [Shostak] says. "They're [anomalous lights in the sky] very impressive if you're naive."
...But [Dr.] Jack Kasher, a retired University of Nebraska, Omaha, physicist, says he's viewed Challender's findings, concluding that they aren't ice particles and challenging anyone who says so to prove it.
I've seen Doctor Kasher's work. It was not a one-off sidebar of idle proclamation. It is detailed, painstaking, scientific, and significant. It destroys the feeble explanations of his ax-grinding detractors, artless men who predictably attack the man when they cannot refute his airtight arguments! Then Evans drops Seth's bomb... not seeing how it hoists their own petard:
Still, Shostak says, "why would SETI spend millions searching for alien radio signals if there were Martians buzzing around every NASA mission?"
Remains that Mr. Shostak's silly effort to investigate is akin to "searching the heavens for smoke signals" (Friedman)! If they're "here," the reader might begin to understand, then why spend any money at all looking for them... "there"?
"Shostak believes that there is alien life. If 10 percent of stars had planets and 1 percent of those supported life, there could be millions of worlds with life just in our galaxy, he calculates."
But NASA would have no incentive to hide any evidence. "That would be the greatest thing for NASA. Their budget would go up instead of going down,' Shostak says.
This writer thinks not! On reflection and being fair? The reader can't either! We are NOT alone, and a brave Jeff Challender had captured it on tape! This is a lasting legacy which will survive him. Watch the DOC. It holds up! Thank you, Mr. Challender!
