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?
