Can I just point out that the guy is an engineer and an astronaut (kosmonaut, same thing) who works at the freaking ISS? He is way more competent than me and probably most of you when it comes to items in space.
Fucking brilliant.
Literally the definition of UFO and people are ready to call the man a lunatic.
Does his pedigree mean nothing? He didn't earn the right to be up there by chance.
I love the idea that a species advanced enough to travel light years to check out earth is also gonna like leave its headlights on or something lol
Actually most objects in our solar system are visible because they reflect off the sun's light.
Or they know even if they leave trace we'll just think it's some Ufo conspiracy bullshit !Yeah but like, you'd think a species that has mastered traveling across galaxies would also have a decent degree of stealth technology if they were clearly trying to keep their presence masked.

It's because of the topic title. The astronaut doesn't "claim" to have seen UFOS, he has seen things he can not identify, therefore he has seen UFOS. The "claim" part of the title makes the topic silly.Literally the definition of UFO and people are ready to call the man a lunatic.

Judging by the comments I feel like I'm the only one who sees the two floating black objects coming from the bottom left at 53 seconds in the video.
What's the 9-12 others have mentioned?
Also doesn't help that the word UFO has been tainted because decades worth of conspiracy theories, hoaxes, media misrepresentation, "ALIENS!!!!" etc.It's because of the topic title.

Also just reread and got a kick out of the thread title, "claims to see" when there is clear video evidence, he didn't claim to see anything, he fucking saw and recorded it lol.
Sorry not trying to shit on you op, just reminded me of those shitty news headlines that twist what is actually happening.

Yes. Because it's more sensational.No worries - I almost took the "claims" out myself, but I decided against altering the article's headline since I was really just reposting it.
I'm sure there's a reason news outlets do that, but I certainly don't know what it is.
This is probably one of the reasons why.
Did he HAVE to use the Battlestar Galactica song that always makes me cry? 😭

Unfortunately we don't elect astronauts and you can't become an astronaut with zero education and experience in that field.The fuck does the so called president of the united states know?
...
See the problem?

Yeah, I saw them too. They're StarLink satellites. Quite obviously.
That's part of the ISS. The bright objects in a line near the beginning are StarLink satellites, and then there are more satellites (either StarLink or something else) a bit later.
There was *just a launch* the other day. The satellites would all still be in a row by the time this video was taken, as it takes several days for them all to disperse to their final orbits.
If aliens are smart enough to space travel, they wouldn't come to Earth
Look at this expert here. Pulling bullshit out of your ass to debunk an astronaut that has seen more star link satellites in one trip to the ISS than you will in your entire life. You figured it out. Congrats, you bested the astronaut. Let's send you up to the ISS instead.
Yeah, it isn't like there's a history of astronauts and pilots reporting UFO sightings only to either debunk it themselves or have it debunked by others.
(from Wikipedia)
In a transcript of Gemini 7 mission, the astronauts mention a "bogey" which ufologists have claimed was a reference to a UFO.[7] Oberg, based on his trajectory analysis of the mission, describes the astronauts' comments about a "bogey" as referring to booster-associated debris, and not a reference to some sort of UFO.[8] The astronaut who made the comments, Frank Borman, later confirmed that what he saw was not a UFO, and that when he offered to go on the television show Unsolved Mysteries to clarify, the producers told him, "Well, I'm not sure we want you on the program."[7]
During a 2005 spacewalk outside the International Space Station, astronaut Leroy Chiao reported seeing lights in a formation he described as "in a line" and "almost like an upside-down check mark".[4] The incident was promoted as a possible UFO sighting in the television series Are We Alone?.[4] Chiao later identified the lights as being from fishing boats "hundreds of miles below".[4]
In August 2013, according to NASA TV, astronaut Christopher Cassidy saw a UFO float past the International Space Station near its Progress 52 cargo ship.[10] It was soon identified by Russian flight controllers as an antenna cover from the Zvezda service module.[10]
Your Wikipedia link doesn't back up what you said. Not one of those astronauts said they saw a UFO. Stop trying to discredit astronauts based on what others claim what they saw.
On a spacewalk 230 miles above Earth, travelling at over 17,000 miles per hour, Chiao suddenly saw something that made his "heart leap up into his throat".
"I saw some lights that seemed to be in a line and it was almost like an upside-down check mark, and I saw them fly by and thought it was awfully strange," Chiao told The Huffington Post.
Chiao has a feeling that he was visited by aliens. He said: "I don't rule it out 100 percent. I have an open mind and I do believe there's other life in the universe.
"If there is life out there that's so much more advanced than we are and they know either how to travel great distances in short amounts of time, or they're able to come from a parallel universe into ours, why don't they just come and show themselves?" he said.
NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy alerted ground controllers on Monday to an unidentified flying object floating near the International Space Station
Yeah but like, you'd think a species that has mastered traveling across galaxies would also have a decent degree of stealth technology if they were clearly trying to keep their presence masked.
This is the one he used, yeah. But I actually prefer this version from the second season:
