What is going on above our heads? Yeah I know, someone will say that birds are flying or something like that, but what I am talking about is what is really out there, above us in space and what have we put there? It is a question that probably no one can answer entirely. I bet even the president does not know what is circling us in space right now. Oh he might know some of the stuff, but there are estimated to be over twenty thousand objects that man is directly responsible for. Some of it is junk, some satellites, both secret and public, one is the International Space Station and then there are those secret things that we are not allowed to know. I imagine that almost, if not all, of the countries that are capable of launching satellites into space, have their secrets. The U.S., with it's tremendous lead in space technology, probably has far more secrets up there than any other nation and maybe more than all the nations combined. Anyone that realizes the way we operate, surely would not be surprised at this.

I was reading a few articles the other day that I found very interesting. There are some people who claim that they were able to see some things UP THERE, using powerful optical instruments, these objects are very mysterious. One object that was sighted looked like another space station. This in itself is interesting, but hardly proof that we have more than one up there and yet this ties in with the claim that was made in the book "Dark Mission" by Richard Hoagland and Mike Barra. In the book, it is said that this second station exists and is hidden from the general view. I could be wrong, but I believe that this station was referred to by at least one shuttle astronaut. I have often referred to the fact that I believed that pieces of evidence, that have leaked out over the years, seem to indicate that the U.S. Air Force is running a parallel space program that is far more advanced than anything NASA has and NASA is only there for eyewash. All one has to do is look at NASA's budget. Most of the money is wasted on useless junk, like the space shuttle and the International Space Station, each of which require the other to give meaning for their existence. There is almost nothing that can be done on the International Space Station that couldn't be done in the shuttle. The shuttle itself is very old technology, it is dangerous as we all know and is far too expensive to operate.

If it was just a second space station that was spotted, we might say that it doesn't surprise us and is probably used to some how spy on the earth, but there are other things, other objects, that have been seen and one in particular looks very scary. An object that looks like a gigantic space ship, seems to be up there. It doesn't look extraterrestrial or anything like that. It looks more like some gigantic bomber. It seems to have huge wings, which would indicate to me that it might be capable of flying into the atmosphere like a plane. Could there be some fully stocked nuclear bomber orbiting in space and just waiting to drop it's deadly cargo, while being out of the reach of earthly weapons? I would hope not, because this would violate every nuclear treaty and validate the fact that any nation could put nukes above our heads. This is not a pleasant thought for anyone on earth. It makes you wonder what would happen if other nations decide to do the same thing. Will we shoot down their satellites and other objects, rather than allow them the same advantage and if we do, will this be the beginning of the third world war? This also brings another question to mind. Are there now abandoned space stations and secret weapons platforms in space, that were launched by the old Soviet Union? There could be a bunch of old nukes up there.

In 2006 the president of Russia, Vladimir Putin, made a speech warning other nations not to start a space arms race. While he spoke about "other nations", no one was fooled by that term, everyone knew he was referring to the United States. Did he know something that was being kept from the American public. Did he have evidence that we were putting weapons up there? One of the reasons he said this, but probably not the only one, is that he believes that we are going back to the moon to build a military base. This was stated by Valentin Lebedev, a Russian cosmonaut. Where his information came from, one can only guess. Here is what he said, “When the Americans return to the Moon, they will build a base of global monitoring for all launches of missiles from Earth,” He went on to say that once we get to the moon again, we won't allow anyone else there. This was probably prompted by the fact that when the Russians asked to go on the moon mission, we turned them down and they were very upset. They thought that they were becoming partners with us in space. One can see why they thought this. We have teamed up with them on the International Space Station. We even use Russian rockets to supply it and there is a Russian emergency ship attached to the station in case something goes wrong. We are even using some Russian hardware to launch payloads into space. Is it any wonder that the Russians were surprised that there offer was turned down? A book has been written by a former diplomat, Craig Eisendrath. He states, We’re going to be testing weapons towards the end of the year—deployment will follow.” People believe this reference is to new nuclear weapons. Is it any wonder that a lot of people are beginning to get nervous?

There are other strange looking objects orbiting us. One in particular has the look of a large space ship. The front of it looks like the crew quarters, then there is a long, relatively slender tunnel like affair, which seems to connect to a much larger area that looks like it contains engines. I sometimes wonder if we actually went through with constructing a ship in space. This idea was pushed for many years. Supposedly this would save on a lot of fuel, since the ship would not have to use up vast amounts of rocket fuel, getting up from earth and into space. This was the kind of thing that you would read about in back issues of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. Why couldn't we have done this in secret? If that is the case, have we already used this ship to travel to other planets? If not, what would be it's purpose? Doing these kinds of things takes money, lots of money. This could be the reason that the U.S. has been running such huge deflects lately. For all we know, we could be sinking trillions of dollars into these black programs, as they are called. If this is the case, we are playing a very dangerous game on a couple of different fronts. We know that this could prompt a terrible nuclear arms buildup, but aside from that, this country could go bankrupt, just like the former Soviet Union. We already owe such huge sums of money, that we could never repay them and our economy would be ruined, if our bonds were ever called in. What good are all the weapons in the world, if the country is destroyed financially?

There has been a lot of talk over the years, of aliens and ufo sightings of all kinds. People have supposed that the reason that we are being watched, if we are, is that our nuclear facilities and weapons are troubling other races, if they exist. If we are being watched, maybe it has more to do with the fact that we are already in space and are traveling around out there and we might even be in ships that are armed with nuclear weapons. This would make any alien race jumpy. Could it be that THEY are afraid of us and what we might do, as we become more advanced? I could hardly blame them, given the track record of the human race over the last ten thousand years. Look at it this way, would you want a race like ours finding out where your planet was? I don't think so.

Are there secret objects and maybe even space ships orbiting our planet? Are we building secret spy space stations and maybe even doing some sort of weapons research in them? This is all very possible. Space exploration is a wonderful idea, but sneaking around and doing covert things in space is not. Why must everything we do be secret. Why must we hide our actions from our own people? There are far too many secrets lately. We all know that some things have to be secret, but that should not apply to most things we do. If we are doing that much that is secret, maybe we shouldn't be doing some of that stuff. Let's not make space a new war zone, lets make it a place for exploration, learning and possibly contact with other races.
