Astronaut Screams "Oh My God" After Seeing A UFO?

Hum it does sound like someone tried to hush her up?

This is what she wrote about it on her Google+ page:

For now, I will tell you of one moment, which was so fortunate and unexpected. You know, when you fly to the Space Station in the Soyuz, unless you are the Commander sitting in the center seat, you can only see your destination from far away in the black and white camera view (the same image that is transmitted to Mission Control and usually shown during media coverage of docking). As a left-or right seater, you only have a side view and there's no way to see the Station until you're really close and parts of it start coming in your field of you. Before the flight, previous Soyuz fliers had reminded me to start looking for the Space Station in the side window in the last part of the approach and so I did: but I wasn't prepared in the least for what I saw when we were at about 30-40 meters.

I had released my shoulder straps quite a bit at that point, so I was floating over my seat. As I turned to look outside, at first I looked back and saw one of our Soyuz solar panels, which I had seen before of course. Then my eyes caught something in the peripheral view. And as I slowly turned my gaze and when I realized what I was seeing, I was overcome by pure amazement and joy:  the Space Station was there, but not just any view. The huge solar panels were flooded in a blaze of orange light, vivid, warm almost alien. I couldn't help exclaiming something aloud, which you can probably hear in the recordings of our docking, since at that point we were "hot mic"  with Mission Control. Anton reminded me of that and so I tried to contain my amazement and return to the docking monitoring. When I peaked again later, the orange glow was gone.

Butch told me later that he had heard my amazement on com when  "the Station had turned orange."  I didn't know, but apparently there's only a few seconds during day-night transition that the Station is lit by that amazing orange glow. And it happened to be exactly when I peaked outside!  I feel very fortunate that I had such a unique first glimpse of our human outpost in space: such a great welcome!

hmmm and of course all of her words no doubt , but in her explanation she doesn't explain why she was shussshed  repeatedly by her comrade , nor mention of the passing object, you might know this ArMaP , how much of a delay is there between visual and audio ?

about what I would expect her to say either way really 

[funbox]

about what I would expect her to say either way really 

indeed , but her comarade at the time didn't like her natural response to the beauty of seeing something new for the first time , it irritated him enough into hurried equally annoyed response.

and maybe he was annoyed because of the unexpectedness of it ... good ..best news ive heard all day

[space otter]

what UFO?
reply 2  tells the tale
gotta go see who posted that..would be nice if you guys included the link


ah I see it is

Comments are disabled for this video. ...I wonder why



hey ArMaP..you want to start a debunkers group?

maybe we can call it.. the TRUTH really is out there

bwhahahahahaha

that's three in a row.. what's going on? !


Dyna..no offense meant here.. I just got caught in one too

[funbox]

what UFO?

just at the start before she proclaims to her god, I think there's an arrow indicating the area where it appears...I guess you missed that as well, no doubt to busy stoking* otters whilst simultaneously thinking about otter in 5 different languages

funbox

*not to be confused with stroking although makes for anamusing happenchance visual

[space otter]

yeah I saw the arrow  but nothing there..and ArMap explained that she was exclaiming about the orange of the sun on the solar panels..
guess you must have missed that
and while the otter jokes are cute.. I'm actually doing the human meat suit this time around..

didn't see anything ? peculiar , there is something that undulates slightly as it passes. for certain. but seeing as you missed I,t can you point out this orange glow from the sun, not on a single surface do I see this colour... but then  the sun's an exclusionist now isn't it

but plausible deniability will rear it ugly head , the panels were at just the right angle and so on and so forth

as for ArMaP explaining, he offered nothing but a quote from her, and surprisingly little else...  not even original source footage

stick with the otter bags, human skin isn't so tough

I think that's why she wrote this:

nor mention of the passing object

Based on this:
when you fly to the Space Station in the Soyuz, unless you are the Commander sitting in the center seat, you can only see your destination from far away in the black and white camera view (the same image that is transmitted to Mission Control and usually shown during media coverage of docking)
I think it's possible she didn't see it (or the second object that the video from the opening post omits).

you might know this ArMaP , how much of a delay is there between visual and audio ?

Judging by the , 3 minutes and 17 seconds between the first object and her reaction and 2 minutes and 34 seconds between the second object and her reaction.

And if her excitement were something they don't want the average Joe to know?

What would they tell you?

hi Dyna

first it would tell me it was a man shushing her
second that the jaded old hand was embarrassed by the excitement and exclamation of a new-by
and they were on broadcast and he didn't want to seem unprofessional

[Dyna]

I guess it is all how you hear it, in my opinion she is very startled perhaps even scared.

well now ive seen the orginal video *chink of glasses and distant muffled "cheers"* the exclamation comes way after the little lights we see, so I doubt now that her 3xomg is attributed to what we saw

but there's no disguising Anton's deliberate chat afterwards to hide her accelerated breathing, I hear it though but ill not go so far to isolate it from his noise

as for the black and white footage, a deep red contrast/color shift would still be noticeable in it, if that's what your hinting at
