Foreign 22 years ago on the 2nd of November 2000 One astronaut and two cosmonauts opened The door to the newly constructed International Space Station and floated In It was the beginning of more than two Decades of humans permanently living and Working aboard the orbiting Outpost This space station has allowed Astronauts on the ISS to conduct more Than 3 000 science experiments Astronauts aboard the International Space Station have conducted science in A way that cannot be done anywhere else It's unparalleled orbiting about 250 Miles above our planet the space station Has supported numerous discoveries Scientific Publications unique Opportunities and historic breakthroughs It is valuable research that not only Helps us explore farther into space but Also benefits us back on Earth but Despite all these factors that make it An invaluable resource the International Space Station is not without its share Of controversies some political some Technical and some bizarre and Otherworldly today we're going to take a Look at some of the biggest Controversies and conspiracy theories About the ISS Orbit beyond the blue
The size of a football field and Hurtling through space at seventeen Thousand five hundred miles per hour the Station has been a symbol of Collaboration through walls and turmoil And is to many in the space Community Worthy of a Nobel Peace Prize to Recognize it as the largest International peacetime Endeavor in Human history but there's the bizarre Conspiracy theories about an identified Object spotted from the ISS the Instances are plenty and the Explanations absence or very few in 2017 An astronaut aboard the ISS snap to Peculiar image of the earth which showed Too strange blue Blobs of light floating The Earth one has to see the image to Realize how strange and otherworldly These lights appear Did we just witness UFOs flying past the International Space Station during its Live feed we will probably never know But it's undeniable that the age-old Fixation on UFOs lurking around Earth Sparted from the ISS magnified after the Pentagon released three short clips Depicting an identified aerial phenomena In April 2020 the two videos date back To 2004 and 2015 and show objects flying At high speed that remain unidentifiable Till date A white cylindrical object was seen Flying past the ISS on Friday the same
Day the space station detected a series Of high-speed objects flying nearby Not too long ago a report by the Pentagon revealed that while UFO Sightings may be confirmed aliens cannot Is entirely possible that the strange Flying objects seen by U.S intelligence Could be sophisticated Tech built by Other countries While these aircraft remain unexplained Such proof coming from the ISS or from U.S documents does answer some questions That remain largely hidden from the General public for decades that aliens May have visited Earth with or without Our knowledge There's always a possibility that these Bizarre unidentified objects are just Some space junk or debris floating Around but we will never know for Certain since the dawn of the space age In the 1950s we have launched thousands Of rockets and sent even more satellites Into orbit many are still there as long As humans have been exploring space We've also been creating a bit of a mess Orbiting our planets are thousands of Dead satellites along with bits of Debris from all the Rockets we've Launched over the years on September 11 2017 a vlogger posted footage from the Islive camera feed which streams over The web in his annotated footage he Points out a faint elongated white shape
With a neat row of faint white dots next To its set against the Blackness of Space just below the curve of the earth It is an amazing UFO Mothership letting Out an orb Fleet on ISS live feed the Vlogger explains in the video title as The International Space Station Inadvertently called sight of an Interstellar space station hovering Nearby Or is the blurry streak filmed out the Window of the space station merely a Window reflection Aliens would be amazing indeed however Ufologist Mark d'antonio Chief photo and Video analyst for an international Organization called the mutual UFO Network who has analyzed thousands of ISS photos and videos alleged to contain UFOs says the faint white marks in this One are a common sight Their Reflections off of the window of The ISS if you put aside these UFO a new AP conspiracy theories then there are Stories of sabotage and political Tensions Brewing aboard the space Station Fragile Coalition that has kept the Space station going all these years is Fraying as tensions between Russia and The United States the two main Partners On the station grow to levels not seen In the previous years of the space Station
And while the countries have kept their Alliance on the station going despite Geopolitical tensions the fence that has Kept the station alive is slowly eroding In 2018 wild theories of sabotage were Floating around after a mysterious Pressure leak occurred on the International Space Station NASA and Roscoe's Moss first detected a Drop in the Space Station's pressure Around 7 PM ET on Wednesday August 29th Suspecting that there was a leak of some Kind on the ISS The air was escaping at such a slow rate That flight controllers opted not to Wake the crew the next day the six Astronauts on board the ISS traced the Leak to a small hole inside one of the Two Russian soyuz capsules docked to the Space station The vehicles used to bring crew to and From Earth The hole was successfully patched up on Thursday August 30th but the mystery Over the origin of the hole has remained While the mystery of the hole was never Completely solved tensions still Remained Strife between the two space Agencies with the head of the Russian Space agency saying that his country Will end its participation in the International Space Station in 2024 As a multination program that serves as The home of astronauts and cosmonauts
The ISS has made it possible to send Humans into space farther than ever Before Essentially it has given humans a Permanent residence in space something That was earlier only pure science Fiction like most space programs ISS Proof of the lens we will go to in the Quest for knowledge Human beings have been living in space Every day since the first crew arrived The station's Laboratories allow crew Members to do research that could not be Done anywhere else It is one of the most iconic pieces of Space Hardware in history but the days Of the International Space Station are Now officially numbered NASA has Announced that the curtain will finally Fall on the ISS in 2031 that is less Than a decade the football pitch-sized Orbit Outpost will be decommissioned Brought crashing back to Earth before Splashing down in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean he is hoping the space Station does a lot more research in Exploring before curtains close Beyond the blue
