SUBJECT: REGARDING KECKSBURG CRASH CONTROVERSIAL FILE: UFO2483

Regarding Kecksburg:
|
|
|
|
The descriptions of the object that I have read remind me of one thing:
|
|
A Soviet SOYUZ-type reentry module. These were designed for a ground landing,
|
|
the shape is similar, and the Russians flew several varients of the SOYUZ as
|
|
moonships (called ZOND), biological research satellites (COSMOS, but that's a
|
|
generic name for almost anything they launch), and more significantly, as spy
|
|
satellites. The Soviet Union figured out that economy of scale paid off where
|
|
their space program was concerned and utilized the same basic designs for
|
|
years. They still launch SOYUZ-class vehicles to rendevous with MIR.
|
|
What I think happened, and this is just a conjecture, a SWAG if you
|
|
will, is that either the DIA or the NSA figured out the command sequences for a
|
|
Soviet spy satellite. They commanded the thing to land, it came down in
|
|
Kecksburg, and the rest is history.
|
|
You have to remember that the best pictures from spy satellites are the
|
|
ones where you have access to the negatives. This implies a recovery vehicle
|
|
that can withstand re-entry. We had at least two series of spysats that
|
|
employed re-entry vehicles: Big Bird (launched by Titan from Vandenberg) and
|
|
the old Discoverers (launched by Atlas boosters). It makes sense to me that the
|
|
Soviets would want to do the same thing, and that given their habit of
|
|
recycling spacecraft designs they may have done it with the SOYUZ-type craft.
|
|
Why land the thing in Kecksburg instead of the desert? Either someone
|
|
screwed up or we didn't have reliable orbital data for the thing while it was
|
|
in orbit (these things happen; remember SkyLab?). Maybe it was a rush job.
|
|
The coverup was needed to prevent the Soviets from realizing what we
|
|
had done. Of course, once they couldn't find their satellite I think they
|
|
would've realized it anyway, but by the it's too late.
|
|
Anyways, this is just a pet theory of mine.
