What caused the crash of Space Shuttle Columbia?
                         By Der Voron, author of book Starcraft

                      The crash of Space Shuttle Columbia occurred on January 31, 2002.
                      Soon, many versions were offered to explain it.

                      Here we would like to propose our explanation for this crash. Let us
                      analyze the facts:

                      1) The breakup occurred at a very great height, over 40 miles. This
                      excludes any possibility for the supposed Earth-based attacker to
                      shoot it down with existing land-to-air missiles (like say Patriot or
                      S-200/S-300/S-400), as none of them are able to reach the height of
                      even close to 40 miles. Others may entertain the possibility of an
                      attack, with the use of special missiles or laser guns, launched by a
                      Russian satellite, another space device, or a Russian high-altitude
                      strategic bomber (e.g. TU-95 or TU-160) that somehow could approach
                      or cross the US border. Those who believe that this is the truth may
                      use, as a kind of "supportive information", the following fact: just
                      about 20 minutes after the crash, RosAviaCosmos, the Russian space
                      agency, declared that it  might have been caused by a technical
                      defect. But the problem is that some other specialists made their own
                      (different) claims in the same time period.

                      2) Some sources, including RosAviaCosmos, claim that a little
                      fragment of Shuttle's protective surface layer that had fallen off
                      the Shuttle during its start on January 16, 2003, caused the
                      formation of further splits, which then resulted in an explosion.
                      Other sources, however, claim that during the time the Columbia was
                      in the orbit, NASA specialists analyzed this problem and came to
                      conclusion that it couldn't influence the flight. This sounds a bit
                      odd, since unprotected areas can very easily get caught in fire --
                      because of air friction.

                      So actually, there may be two explanations for Columbia's crash:

                      I) Hot air friction sparked a fire in the damaged (unprotected) area
                      while Columbia was descending at a speed of about 3.8 miles per
                      second. The fire burnt through the unprotected area, and then reached
                      the internal areas of the shuttle, its engines and fuel tanks.

                      The problem with this scenario is that it could as easily have
                      occurred during the shuttle's takeoff, when its speed and air
                      friction were approximately the same as when landing, and when the
                      shuttle had much more fuel than during landing.

                      II) It was shot down by extraterrestrials. Maybe they didn't use any
                      weapons to crash it, but simply approached it in their craft, causing
                      Columbia's electronics and engines to fail because of the effects of
                      the alien starcraft's electromagnetic fields. It also may be that an
                      alien craft had approached the Columbia without any malicious intent,
                      but that its electromagnetic field's effects on Columbia's
                      electronics and engines were unforeseen by the aliens.

                      This, however, doesn’t explain why the shuttle exploded in the air,
                      instead of merely plummeting to the Earth. Thus, the more likely
                      scenario is that Columbia was shot down by the alien craft.

                      If so, the question arises: what did the aliens wish to show mankind
                      by their action? Possibly that chemicals-based engines (which are
                      used even by such advanced craft as space shuttles) have almost
                      reached their peak effectiveness and reliability -- and that it is
                      time to develop and actively use more reliable engines, like those
                      electro-magnetic. Today's weapons and missiles, which are much less
                      effective than ray and/or laser weapons, face approximately the same
                      condition. (Some weapons were reportedly tested by the Columbia's
                      crew during the flight, perhaps by the crew members who were
                      simultaneously active [non-retired] military aircraft pilots: US Air
                      Force colonel Rick Husband and Israeli Air Force colonel Ilan Ramon).

                      ...Moreover NASA has recently admitted that Space Shuttle Columbia's
                      crash might have happened because of a contact with an alien starcraft
                      (see, for example, the following news from The Australian newspaper:

                      NASA investigators keen on UFO
                      February 26, 2003

                      An independent board investigating the disintegration of the Space
                      Shuttle Columbia is keenly interested in an object radar-tracked near
                      the shuttle on its second day in orbit, a board member said.

                      Air Force Brigadier General Duane Deal, a member of the Columbia
                      Accident Investigation Board, told the Orlando Sentinal newspaper in
                      Florida that the object was suspected to have come from the shuttle itself.
                      He described it as roughly one foot (0.3 metre) square and said it
                      was noticed after investigators began reviewing radar data of the
                      shuttle's 16-day mission.

                      Deal told the Sentinel the object was moving too slowly to be orbiting
                      space junk, and that investigators believed it came from the shuttle.
                      "There's no way to know what it is," he said. "Possibly a tile that
                      came loose or something that may have floated out of the ship's
                      payload bay ... You can conjecture almost anything."

                      Deal said the debris, if that is what it was, "was some 50 feet (15
                      metres) away from the shuttle when it first appears on radar, then
                      continues to move away until it falls out of orbit and burns up in
                      the atmosphere somewhere over the South Pacific on January 20.
                      "It's not clear if the debris has anything to do with the accident,"
                      he said. "However, it's just one thing of interest found in the 3,200
                      radar observations of the shuttle routinely taken during the mission."

                      Deal said the examining board continued to scrutinise a piece of
                      material, possibly insulation, that fell from the shuttle's external
                      fuel tank during launch and struck the ship's left wing.

                      The shuttle, after an uneventful 16 days in orbit, disintegrated and
                      burned up over Texas on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere on
                      February 1, killing all seven astronauts aboard.

                      Investigators were still searching for the thousands of pieces of the
                      craft scattered over a vast, multi-state area, to determine the cause
                      of the accident.)

                      And some time before (just two days after the crash), President Bush
                      admitted that aliens may exist. Coincidence?
