The other space stations are on Youtube. From where I am, I cannot get onto Youtube easily due to government restrictions so perhaps search for 'alien space station photographs' or something similar. I know I have seen these claimed to be other space stations in the past on Youtube when we could access it.
Very interesting thread. Can you post a link to that "other" things they photographed? 11 days in orbit is a very long time if they dont have anything else they need to do. But deliver food etc dosnt take 11 days. So something else is possible.
But Im sure there is people monitoring radiochannels and would tell if there where any unknown activity going on?
MikeSingh has asked this question before but I though I would try to get some more perspective on it as one of us may have some extra insights or ideas what they might be doing up there for 11 days. You can do one heck of a lot of space walks in 11 days.
It also does not take 11 days to fly to the ISS and return back to Earth and there (probably) is not enough space in the ISS for some extra personnel to have a "Space Break" for 10 days. I do not think that NASA would let the astronauts treat it as a hotel, so what are they doing up there for all that time?
Consider this: It takes 4 days to fly to the Moon, and 4 days to fly home again. IF (and I am not suggesting they are going to the Moon) they can fly that distance and back in 8 days, then an extra day to deliver the milk and supplies to the ISS.
I think it was Mike who posted a list of supplies they were delivering (if not on here, then in the thread on AboveTopSecret) and there was a lot of food and supplies. I understand that the ISS is cut off for weeks without food or water from Earth but the list did seem to be excessive for only 5 people.
We all concentrate on the Moon or the ISS but what else is out there that they may be supplying? How many people would this food and water supply?
I know there have been some reports of other 'things' up there which do not appear to be satellites and look completely different from the ISS. They have been photographed from earth by land-based telescopes. Maybe these are the space stations they are visiting?
