   This is patently ridiculous, thinking that this is actually an
   alien spacecraft sighting.  Most likely, this was either a bit of
   humor, or the 'alien' spacecraft is 'alien' only in the sense that
   it was not made in the US (most likely Soviet).
That's a guess that is totally unsubstantiated by the [skimpy] facts.

   First of all, if there really was an alien craft, and the crew
   wanted to say something to Houston about it and wanted to keep it
   secret, they would *not* broadcast over an open, unencrypted
   channel that every Tom, Dick, and Harry with a $99.95 scanner could
   pick up.
Accidents *do* happen.

   More likely, if an alien ship did appear near the shuttle, the crew
   would turn around and head for home, under orders from the ground,
   since they're not equipped for alien contact.  Finally, any *real*
   aliens would make contact with government officials, and we can
   assume that this didn't happen, since at last check, Bush was at
   some elementary school, talking about U.S. drug policy.
More guesses.  How do you know that?  I counter your skepticism with my
skepticism.

I think that a piece of hard evidence could be found if several people
can be found who heard the report of the "fire" and the "alien craft"
transmissions, AND they are missing from official NASA recordings.
If that's the case, then it lends substance to Stanford T. Friedman's
accusations of a government coverup.
