I’ve been reading the headlines concerning the highly regarded NASA astronaut Dr. Story Musgrave and his alleged confirmation of extraterrestrials. In fairness to Dr.Musgrave and the ‘truth in general’ he didn’t actually say anything directly that was an absolute or personal confirmation or belief that he knew ET’s and UFO’s were real. In fact he has been extremely scientific in his comments. He did not say ET’s were here on this earth or in our skies. He has simply said that it’s logical to presume the universe must have other life in it and by virtue of association that we could be visited at some point. That is entirely different from the headlines ‘…Musgrave confirms they are here’
Here’s a more truthful quote below of his exact words in context:
| “Space Shuttle Columbia during STS-80 took a crew of five astronauts into a 17 day, 15 hour and 54 minute mission around the earth, the longest flight in the history of this vehicle. During this lengthy flight a very strange event occurred that even had crewman Dr. Story Musgrave unable to explain what he observed from the shuttle windows.A large disc shaped object appeared below the Columbia. The shuttle was approximately, 190 Nautical miles high.
The disc was first observed to miraculously appear from out of nowhere, flying through the clouds below and progressing from right to left as the astronauts stared in utter amazement. The outer rim of the craft appeared to be rotating counter-clockwise. It was very large (compared to common space junk and breakaway ice), approximately 50 to 150 feet in diameter. Astronaut Dr. Story Musgrave, a Payload Specialist on the STS-80 Mission, was interviewed following the flight. As he viewed a videotape of the incident which showed lightning flashes in the atmosphere, the city lights of Denver, Colorado and other earthbound sights, he stated: “I don’t know what it is. Whether it’s a washer, debris, ice particles, I don’t know. But it’s characteristic of the thousands of things which I’ve seen. What is not so characteristic is it appears to come from no where. You would think that if it’s facing the dark side or facing a side towards you which is not reflecting the sun, you would think that you would see something there. It’s really impressive.” During an earlier interview, Dr. Musgrave stated he attempted to communicate with ET life forms during each of his six missions. He actually asked them to take him with them. Now that’s an astronaut with a lot of courage. Dr. Musgrave retired after this flight from NASA. Since then he’s been spreading his considered opinion that alien life exists. When Musgrave speaks of this, it’s no great leap for one to assume he’s admitting knowledge of alien life. As the final slide of a “Grey” ET was shown during a recent astronomy presentation by Dr. Musgrave, he made this surprising comment: “These guys are real… I guarantee it!” Dr. Musgrave does know the truth. This author guarantees it! Consider that carefully. These are world renown scientists making statements almost beyond belief. Dr. von Braun and others of his stature have the courage to disclose “sensitive” information, but obviously the leaders of the USA and the world do not. If billions could find a way of coping with the overwhelming threat of atomic annihilation for half a century, it is reasonable to assume we can cope with the knowledge of these “Other Intelligence’s” from the stars. We can cope with the fact they are visiting earth, and have been since the beginning of history. We must. Those still asleep must open their eyes. We Are Not Alone.” by Clark C. McClelland, former ScO, U.S. Space Shuttle Fleet, KSC, Florida 1958 to 1992 |

If any one has found any written confirmation that proves other wise in regards to Dr.Story’s words then please let me know!

A most interesting article….
I’m afraid that i would take anything that McClelland says with a pinch of salt (alot of what he’s about, is for you too buy his books,ect).
The canadian national newspaper is known to be sensational in the way it presents its news. I did have a quick look at Musgrave’s site, and there seem to be little mention of ETH.
I think he is open to the idea of ETH, but i think that, is a far as it goes… Also, he is still (i believe) a consultant for several Space corporations (so he probably needs to be careful).
I’m more worried by McClelland’s motives myself..

I also have a link to an interview he had in 2005; gives an insight into what he believed then and it all seems pretty logical, without all the ETH headlines.

You wrote, “If any one has found any written confirmation that proves other wise in regards to Dr.Story’s words then please let me know!”
OK.
If you go to Story Musgrave’s official website, you’ll find him saying this:
“In terms of personally seeing any kind of evidence, I have seen glorious things out there, but I have never seen anything which I consider having the signature of life or an intelligent being.”

I’m appalled that you didn’t check Story Musgrave’s own website before you published.
Hi AJ!
Thanks for finding that and submitting the link. Moral of the ’story’ is (no pun intended) you can’t trust what the Canadian National ‘infers’ lol Yeah, I did read that on the site, but I used my own words to validate Dr. Story’s views. You know what makes a site like this more interesting is when it fosters the input and views of others to enhance the material posted. Thats why I threw the topic open and thats also why I value and appreciate your contribution. You are exactly right, check all the facts first! Many thanks AJ for your editorial observations and for being on the ball!
