Pete S writes “I believe these are what the guest was talking about when he said the sky was alive. It’s footage from the space shuttle “Tether incident” from STS-75.” Could this be what Talan was talking about when he saw the things in the sky?
On Sunday, February 25, 1996, the Space Shuttle Columbia deployed an experimental tether into orbit. The experiment was called the Tethered Satellite System (TSS- 1R) and it’s purpose of this was to attempt to generate electricity by utilizing Earth’s magnetic field.
Unfortunately the tether broke so the experiment was not a success, although approximately five hours of data were recorded.
What really made “The Tether Incident” famous was the appearance of many unidentified flying objects (UFOs) clearly visible in the NASA footage. Conspiracy theorists rejected NASA’s explanation of space debris and ice particles…

That is just mesmerizing, like watching the northern lights, or the activity in pond water through a microscope.
