- NASA is dedicated to
the exploration of space, technological advancement,
and transparency. But that last word, transparency, is the focus of doubt for many. Some ask is there any actual proof that NASA is hiding
something from the world? Rumors persist that strange events have indeed been captured
on camera by NASA and have been kept hidden. Those are exactly the tapes that we're going to be discussing today, the exact tapes they don't
want you to know about. (static crackling) Here are 10 NASA space tapes
they don't want you to see. Number 10 are the Apollo tapes. The Apollo space program
ran from 1960 until 1972. Its aim was simple. To put a human being on the moon and to unlock the secrets of
our nearest celestial neighbor. In fact, when we did finally
land on the moon in 1969, it was seen as the greatest
technological advancement since human beings had discovered fire. Why, then, are many of
the tapes which documented this incredible journey
missing or destroyed? You'd think that those
involved in the space program would want to capture their achievements for future generations. Some believe that the
reason the tapes are missing is because they hint at a difficult truth. Two possibilities have been presented, that the tapes contain
evidence that the moon mission was a hoax or, more tantalizingly, they include footage of
a rumored alien encounter in the depths of space. Number nine is STS-80. Hundreds of manned space missions have taken place over
the last few decades. Most of them were to lower orbits where astronauts would repair satellites or carry out work on the
International Space Station. During these missions, cameras have captured strange anomalies. These include objects which move as though they're being
controlled by an intelligence. Astronauts were there to deploy orbital equipment
including two satellites, but their cameras inadvertently picked up bright objects which
moved in the distance. Unlike any piece of debris, these objects seemed
to change orientation, something debris should not be able to do. What they were, no one is sure, but it's certainly a topic which some NASA officials
continue to evade. Number eight is Gemini 4. During the Gemini 4 mission in 1965, which was NASA's second
manned space flight, pilot Jim McDivitt was shocked to see a strange object in the distance, set against the blackness of space. The object was cylindrical, with a long pole sticking
out from one corner. McDivitt himself was
noncommittal about it, not knowing exactly what he had seen. But there was film footage taken at other points during the mission, so the fact that alleged footage of such a singular encounter is missing seems eerily suspicious. Number seven is Apollo 10. Apollo 10 was the first moon mission to have a color TV camera on board, as opposed to an eight
millimeter film camera. Just as the 1969 spacecraft was heading into the dark side of the moon where the crew would be out
of radio contact for an hour, they began to complain about hearing strange music coming from somewhere. - The music even sounds
outer-spacey, doesn't it? You hear that, that whistlin' sound? Woo! - They also captured an
anonymous white object flying in the opposite direction of the command service module, which remains unexplained. Many argue that if it had
been debris from the craft, it would have been traveling
in the same direction. So what was it? And why did the crew of
Apollo 10 avoid the topic of the strange music
that they heard up there? The existing audio tapes
showed that this happened, but few wish to officially
acknowledge them. Number six is Gemini 7. Transcripts from the
Gemini 7 mission in 1965 point to the tantalizing possibility that NASA covered up an encounter between the crew and a mysterious object. Given that footage was
filmed during Gemini 7, this also suggests that
existing film footage of this encounter may actually exist and has been hidden for an unknown reason. - [Astronaut] Gemini 7 here,
Houston, how do you read? - [Mission Controller] Loud
and clear, seven, go ahead. - [Astronaut] Got a
bogey at 10 o'clock high. - [Mission Controller] This is Houston. Say again, seven? - [Astronaut] I said we have
a bogey at 10 o'clock high. - Astronauts aboard
the Gemini 7 spacecraft not only alerted ground crew that there was an unusual
object following them, but they referred to it
specifically as a bogey, which is the term used in the Air Force when describing an enemy aircraft. While some have suggested
that this enemy craft was the booster segment of the mission, others have declared that
theory to have been debunked, which opens the door to the
possibility that Gemini 7 was being intercepted by a craft
of extraterrestrial origin. Number five are the lost years. We have meticulous records surrounding the NASA space program. We know when each milestone was reached. Whether it was the first
American manned space flight, or when Neil Armstrong first
stepped onto the lunar surface, there's film footage of it. But some argue that this account
is only half of the story, the tip of a dark and concealed iceberg. One theory states that
alongside the public missions, there were a series of
earlier, secret ones, which were sent to test out new technology and explore the vastness of space. One of the reasons put forward for this is that the U.S. government did not want their space program to publicly fail during a propaganda war
with the Soviet Union. Instead, these earlier missions
were carried out in secret, no doubt filmed just as meticulously. The question is, just what
happened to those tapes? Number four is STS-48. STS-48 was a space shuttle mission which launched on September 15th, 1991. Its primary objective was to launch an upper atmosphere research satellite. After 81 revolutions of the Earth and 2.2 million miles later, the shuttle completed its mission, but not before its cameras
captured unbelievable footage. The footage clearly shows several objects flying in what appears to
be a controlled trajectory. This formulation was unlike anything the astronauts had ever seen before. One of the objects performs an about-turn and alters its speed and
direction at the same time. This footage was soon released, though many believe this is because it had already been intercepted by amateur decoders on the ground. Several explanations for the STS-48 footage have been proposed, but none of them have been robust enough to remove the mystery. Number three is the Mars redacted footage. It's difficult to understand
why space exploration stalled for so long after Apollo 17. Space technology had progressed quickly, taking humanity from
unmanned space satellites to standing on the moon in a short time. The official explanation is that public interest
in the space race fell, and so investment in it dried up. However, there are
rumors of secret missions which took place after Apollo 17. One of the most infamous is a rumored mission to Mars itself. Whispers continue that NASA crews traveled to the Red Planet, taking with them a variety of experiments
and camera equipment. Some of this has been leaked online with out-of-focus film footage allegedly showing the crew in orbit. Of course, NASA denies
this, but nevertheless, if they did indeed go secretly to Mars, what did they find there? Number two is the engineer's archive. In 2005, a man whose identity
was protected passed away. In his basement, his
wife found 325 data reels and two huge computers dating back to the early space
program through the 1970s. Over 100 of the tapes were labeled, and some of the labeling
remains a mystery. For example, one tape covered data from the Pioneer 11 mission, which launched in 1973. But this tape was labeled from 1972. The serial numbers on the two computers could also not be traced. They could not be found in any record, as though they came from
a classified NASA project. It's common knowledge that NASA taped over many tapes from important missions, so you would think that they would want to know what was on them. Instead, they destroyed all of the tapes without releasing any further
information about them. And number one is the alien moon base. There would be no more manned
expeditions to the moon after the early 1970s. And yet many believe
those missions continued, for a while at least. The reason those subsequent
missions were not made public was because NASA had discovered
an alien base on the moon. Whether inhabited or not is unclear, but supporters of this theory have identified footage
taken from moon orbit as well as a controversial
piece of footage showing astronauts exploring
the alien structure on foot in a classified mission as definitive proof that
NASA is hiding something. Others believe this
footage has been released in order to muddy the
waters and discredit anyone who claims that there is
a structure of some sort on the lunar surface. Whatever the truth,
officials remain tight-lipped about what's really going on up there.
