Glenn Research Center

So we to be clear, we are required under President Trump's pursue effort to have designated personnel within NASA that are not only looking for the files to see what we can contribute, but actually helping research and understand some of these things, including the orbs, as they've often been called in some of the recent releases and the kite, the kites that are out there.

So we have some brilliant PhDs at Langley, out at Glenn Research Center, out at Edwards at our Armstrong Research Center that are contributing their talent into trying to help explain what some of the unexplained phenomenon may be.

What do you think personally from everything that you've seen? Is there anything that you've seen that you've thought, whoa, that could be something?

Well, let me address it this way, as I said since the beginning of the effort.

Now, the drop tower in Bremen is the largest ground-based microgravity facility in the world.

It is, um, pretty much an equivalent of NASA Glenn's 5.2 second shaft, only that the Sand Drop Tower in Bremen catapults a 500 kilogram capsule 120 meters up.

So you can imagine, uh, basically a block of metal going up for 10 seconds and then down.

Uh, and in during these free-fall conditions, we're experiencing microgravity, right? So s- similar dynamic environment that you experience at the International Space Station.

cable network, NASA, and author of The Monuments of Mars, which is fabulously popular.

At NASA's request, he has now repeatedly presented his continuing Mars findings regarding the Cydonia region of Mars to thousands of NASA engineers and scientists at the Goddard Space Flight Center and Lewis Research Center.

Hoewent was also a featured speaker on his team's Cydonia investigation at the 1990 Aerospace Education Services Project.

That's a conference at the Lewis Research Center designed to train and brief specialists on current NASA projects.

In February 1992, he presented his team's results regarding Cydonia in an invited address to delegates and staff at the United Nations.

Let's take care of that noise.

I grew up in Florida and I had a love affair with the space shuttle and everything around Cape Canaveral.

And, you know, now I live in Cleveland and we've got the NASA Glenn Research Center here.

So let's just touch on the NASA stuff real quick.

Tell me about what you did for the Silver Snoopy.

So initially it was, you know, how do we, so it's kind of funny.

I went with Jerome and our dean to a meeting at NASA Glenn in Cleveland.

And I made one of those classic mistakes of talking to scientific people who know a lot of stuff and pretending that I knew something.

And so I made a comment.

And we built a network where we tied together processes at different locations.

So USGS would create the data set based on our criteria.

And then that would be transferred to a server that we ran at NASA Glenn.

And then in Oxford, we would capture that data, do some metadata creation, automated metadata creation, and then put that into our clearinghouse so that people could find it.
