It seems like most are avoiding the subject of the nasa footage, can anyone honestly say they believe its just debris and not something else like creatures or alien craft?
Lets be honest here, any footage we, the general public ever see, supposedly showing alien life-forms is almost certain to be fake.
If there
is any real footage out there (and thats a big "if") I don't think we would ever get our hands on it. Not unless the governments were to admit it first. I really don't think any kind of leak is realistic.
I do believe that life is abundant throughout the universe. I also believe that intelligent life is out there. Hell I even believe that interstellar travel will one day be possible for us! However...
Do I think they are visiting us? Do I think they are in contact with us? While I will admit it is possible I also have to admit that I have never seen one compelling piece of evidence to suggest that they are.
Of course, lack of evidence doesn't mean it isn't happening, but until I see something more substantial I will have to say "I doubt it". I could definately be wrong of course and that is why I am reluctant to sit firmly on either side of the fence. What I will say however is that every piece of footage I have seen so far has looked fake to me.
Having said all this....
The NASA footage is extremely interesting to me. I see nothing to indicate alien life but what I do see is something that in my eyes, is not easily explained by simple debris. Our understanding of space is rudimentary at best and it is quite concievable that there are phenomena out there that is regularly experienced by astronauts. In fact it wouldn't surprise me one bit.
It is certainly not evidence for alien life but it looks peculiar enough, to my untrained eyes, to suggest something "out of the ordinary". Most astronauts seem to report UFO sightings or odd lights while on missions. This seems to be a very common occurance. But what you have to remember is that a UFO is just that... An "Unidentified Flying Object". It is simply something that we have no current explanation for. This doesn't mean that it is little green men in saucers. All it means is that these astronauts are seeing some odd things while in orbit. And to be quite honest, I would fully expect them to see some odd things given the fact that we have explored the vastness of space so little. I'm sure there are many natural phenomena out there that we have yet to understand fully. But we really shouldn't jump to conclusions.
Regardless, the NASA footage I find extremely interesting to watch. Even though I believe what we are seeing is some kind of natural phenomena it is still very interesting from the point of view that it is "odd" and not so easily explained within our current understanding of nature.
