NASA has gotten their hands on a GoPro and they seem to be making good use of it. The agency recently strapped the camera to a rocket travelling at 3,800 mph. As one can imagine, it was quite the video. Can anyone spot the UFO?
NASA GETS EXTREME WITH THE GOPRO
Surfers, skateboarders, and amateur filmmakers all love the GoPro for its portability and ease of use. Despite having all the technology they could possibly want at their fingertips, NASA has decided to get on the GoPro bandwagon as well. The agency just produced a mesmerising video using the popular action camera, and yeah, it was action packed. NASA attached the camera to the body of a rocket that was travelling at an insane 3,800 mph. This isn’t the first time the agency has worked with this particular camera, however, it likely tops all the other videos. Despite being an incredibly entertaining film, the camera had an educational angle as well.
CAMERA USED TO ANALYZE STABILITY
NASA claims the GoPro was sued to help measure aerodynamics and the stability of the spacecraft for future launches. After lift-off, we can see the rocket’s intensity as the GoPro spins violently. In a matter of seconds, the image slowly calms down as viewers are left to gaze at the beautiful view of the rocket leaving the comforting atmosphere of Earth. From there, the rocket splits in half as one part can be seen traveling back to earth. Reports are claiming this is the most beautiful NASA video that has ever produced. While it’s hard to disagree with that, some think the agency had other motives in mind.
SPYING ON UFO
This could very well be a simple video to show off the space agency’s technology to the words, but some UFO hunters believe there is more to this video than we can imagine. According to them, UFO’s in orbit around Earth are far from rare. In fact, they are everywhere and we have documented evidence of them. The government always denies the sighting of UFO’s but could it be a cover up? Attaching a camera to a rocket may be the government’s way of spying on UFO’s. Perhaps they don’t want their rockets tampered with by alien forces or perhaps just want to discreetly observe the aliens orbiting our planet. This is all a far-fetched conspiracy theory, but stranger things have happened.
