Trailer here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3qB...

"'I thought this explains all of the UFO sightings. The craft even had an American flag on it which solidified the idea that it’s just a new fighter we were testing, what people were seeing and all of that. It made perfect sense... That is, until they said, “We have to find out how this works.”'"

"[Jim] Clash: ‘Am I correct in saying that before you worked at S4, you were skeptical of UFOs?’ Lazar: ‘Yes, I thought the subject was ridiculous. If anything, you could call me a debunker. I mean, give me a break [laughs]. Even when I first saw the actual craft, I was on the fence."

Artemis II crew make final push towards the Moon | BBC News YouTube video by BBC News

I previously shared an unexplained red orb in the upper right of this BBC video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPRs... No one is posting about any of this anywhere on the internet? It seems unlikely.

A recent BBC World News report featured video of a bright object passing behind the Orion spacecraft during its journey to the moon. It looked like a tailless meteor. The news anchor remarked in an offhand way that it must be a piece of ‘space debris’. I’ve been unable to find that video online.
