00:01.509 --> 00:04.449
Showing control here again . Earlier in

00:04.449 --> 00:06.671
the flight , you'll recall at the start

00:06.671 --> 00:08.880
of the 2nd revolution , we had a

00:08.880 --> 00:11.569
reference to , uh , several objects

00:11.569 --> 00:14.050
that the crew spotted . This was in the

00:14.050 --> 00:17.809
area of Antigua . Due to a mechanical

00:17.809 --> 00:20.690
breakdown , we did not have , uh , that

00:20.690 --> 00:24.040
portion of the tape available for you .

00:24.450 --> 00:26.339
This was a line breakdown between

00:26.339 --> 00:29.299
Building 30 and our news center ,

00:29.620 --> 00:31.319
Building 6 . Since

00:33.560 --> 00:36.319
then we have dubbed the tape off the

00:36.319 --> 00:38.597
master tape here in the control center ,

00:39.040 --> 00:41.207
and , uh , we are now prepared to play

00:41.207 --> 00:44.930
it for you . It contains references to

00:44.930 --> 00:48.720
sighting not only some particles , but

00:48.720 --> 00:51.060
as well as an unidentified object .

00:52.459 --> 00:55.860
Uh , plus the booster . Here's that

00:55.860 --> 00:57.804
tape . We'll play it for you now .

01:01.259 --> 01:04.690
loud and clear . 7 , go ahead . I you

01:10.129 --> 01:13.819

01:32.089 --> 01:35.349

01:35.349 --> 01:36.349
actual sighting ?

01:40.510 --> 01:43.819
Say again , 7 . The

01:45.010 --> 01:48.639
Right . Uh , do you have any

01:48.639 --> 01:50.528

01:50.528 --> 01:54.199
distance or size ? side .

01:55.599 --> 01:57.766
I understand you also have the booster

01:57.766 --> 01:58.821
in sight , Roger .

02:14.110 --> 02:16.029
Understand you have many small

02:16.029 --> 02:19.910
particles going by on the left at

02:19.910 --> 02:20.910
what distance ?

02:23.839 --> 02:24.580
Looks like

02:28.119 --> 02:31.259
In Roger , I understand they're about 3

02:31.259 --> 02:35.020
to 4 miles away . to pull

02:37.289 --> 02:39.456
Roger , and understand they were about

02:39.456 --> 02:42.369
3 to 4 miles away . fine .

Hi Roger 7 .

03:13.639 --> 03:17.479
Go ahead . The booster on my side is a

03:17.479 --> 03:20.240
brilliant body in the sun against the

03:20.240 --> 03:22.351
black background and with billions of

03:22.351 --> 03:25.490
particles around it . Hi Roger , what

03:25.490 --> 03:28.880
direction is it from you ? It's about

03:28.880 --> 03:30.213
my 2 o'clock position .

03:32.800 --> 03:34.744
Does that mean it's ahead of you ?

03:38.589 --> 03:40.759
Slowly doubling . Roger .

04:10.460 --> 04:11.080

05:43.029 --> 05:45.420
object in addition to particles which

05:45.420 --> 05:47.869
appeared to be . Headed in a polar

05:47.869 --> 05:49.925
