UFO Filmed from STS-114...
The UFO Casebook is releasing updated
versions of some of the most interesting
videos. We hope you enjoy them.
Launch from Cape Canaveral (KSC); landing on the Edwards AFB, Runway 22. It was the first shuttle launch since 907 days.
The STS-114 crew was first named in August 2001 with four Space Shuttle astronauts joined by three International Space Station crew members.
After the Columbia accident, a decision was made to rotate Station crews on Russian Soyuz spacecraft rather than on the Shuttle.
STS-114 (ISS LF1/MPLM 2-03) marked the return to flight of the Space Shuttle after the Columbia disaster and was the second Shuttle flight with a female commander (Eileen Collins, who also commanded the STS-93 mission).
The STS-114 mission was initially to be flown aboard the orbiter Atlantis, but NASA replaced it with Discovery after improperly installed gear was found in Atlantis' Rudder Speed Brake system.
During OMM for Discovery, an actuator on the RSB system was found to be installed incorrectly. This created a fleet wide suspect condition.
The Rudder Speed Brake system was removed and refurbished on all three remaining orbiter vehicles and since Discovery's RSB was corrected first, it became the Return to Flight vehicle over Atlantis.
Seventeen years prior, Discovery had flown NASA's previous Return to Flight mission, STS-26.
STS-114 was classified as Logistics Flight 1. The flight carried the Raffaello Multi-Purpose Logistics Module, built by the Italian Space Agency. Also the External Stowage Platform-2, mounting that to the port side of the Quest Airlock.
They deployed MISSE-5 to the station's exterior, and replaced one of the ISS's Control Moment Gyroscopes. The CMG and a TPS Repair Box were carried up on the LMC at the rear of the payload bay.
The STS-114 mission delivered supplies to the International Space Station. However, the major focus of the mission was testing and evaluating new Space Shuttle flight safety techniques, which included new inspection and repair techniques.
The crewmembers used the new Orbiter Boom Sensor System (OBSS) - a set of instruments on a 50-foot (15 m) extension attached to the Canadarm. The OBSS instrument package consists of visual imaging equipment and a Laser Dynamic Range Imager (LDRI) to detect problems with the shuttle's Thermal Protection System (TPS).
The crew scanned the leading edges of the wings, the nose cap, and the crew compartment for damage, as well as other potential problem areas engineers wished to inspect based on video taken during lift-off.
On shuttle flight STS-114 at August 6, 2005 a UFO passed by the right side of the shuttle at 13:53:00 GMT.
As the object flies into the distance it then begins to change course to a full right turn and eventually disappears off the right side of screen.
