Countless mysterious objects have been caught by NASA’s cameras, and usually the events can be explained logically. The Science Channel has a show premiering tonight (10 PM EDT and PDT) called NASA’s Unexplained Files, which is part of the channel’s “Are We Alone” features for the month of March. In this broadcast, NASA’s top ten unexplained encounters are discussed, with original footage and special interviews with astronauts and scientists.
A few of the astronauts and scientists who will be on the show include Story Musgrave, astronaut; Dr. Jack Kasher, Professor of Physics and Astronomy and ET researcher; Jim Oberg, space flight operations specialist; Alan Bean, the fourth man to visit the moon; Franklin Chang Diaz, Astronaut; Bruce Maccabee, Optical analyst and former Navy member; and Edgar Mitchell, Apollo astronaut.
See the Science Channel website for more about this show and also to find out when it will air in your location.
Universe Today has been teaming up with the Science Channel to promote some of their space-related content. Here’s some unique features the Science Channel has on their website:
10 Technology Innovations Needed for Deep Space Exploration
The immense distances involved — 57 million km to Mars, 34 trillion km to Proxima Centauri, the nearest star — make deep space travel seem beyond reach of even the most extreme human ingenuity. It might sound impossible, but NASA researchers and other brains are hard at work contemplating the challenges of deep space travel and dreaming up technologies to meet those challenges. Pat Kiger investigates the 10 technology innovations needed to explore deep space.
Is that a UFO or do I just need to clean my glasses? Though a 2005 Gallup survey showed that about 25 percent of Americans believe that extraterrestrials have visited Earth at some point in the past, only about eight percent of Americans claim to have seen mysterious objects in the sky. Pat Kiger shares ways to spot extraterrestrials and confirm your sightings.
