On its very last voyage, the Atlantis space shuttle came into contact with extraterrestrials.
Think NASA's last shuttle flight was the end of American technological space dominance?
July 21, 2011 might have been the final date of the Atlantis shuttle flight, but it sure wasn't the end of amazing discoveries.
In PART 1 of this fictionalized series of that flight, the crew comes into first contact with alien extraterrestrials who discover the Atlantis space shuttle as they are finishing their last few orbits around Earth.
If earthlings are stunned at this UFO sighting, the aliens are even more stunned. . .
(note: all people in this novel are fictionalized characters who have no relationship or bearing with anyone in the space program past or present.)
Excerpt
Today was May 2, year 2832 of the old ancient calendar. The one they used to use before it became inconvenient due to all the traveling and emigration out of Earth area.
It was a special occasion. In this present day, the diaries of Stuart Cobey were to be released to the public -- or so it was expected. They had been printed on paper (an electronic copy had long been lost) and were vaulted in a confined space in the old United Nations Space Exploration museum. Cobey was the first human in history to make contact with the aliens in the year 2011, and through this event -- and numerous other citations throughout historical documentation -- had become a legend on Earth as well as in human civilization.
The diaries were locked up many years ago because the political thinking at the time of Cobey’s death, when he had wanted them published, was that it would cause too much mayhem throughout the world considering the current political rivalries among certain powers and other factors outside of Earth. It was finally agreed to by those ‘powers that be’ that three hundred years was a reasonable limit to place on their publication, and then they would be released to the public.
Herbert Camille was given the authority to remove them, read them, edit them for any possible political insensitivity, and then submit them for publishing. He couldn’t wait to get his hands on these diaries. The diaries were to be read only on the premises and then electronic copies would be created for further distribution to various committees.
He was so geared up for this project that he would even sleep there if he had to. A library custodian led him into a library, styled like an ancient one from hundreds of years ago. He was awed. The custodian pointed to the book on a table and said, “There it is; have fun.” She smiled as she left him.
Herbert sat down at the table in front of the book, placed some thin-layered gloves on his hands to protect the document, turned the cover over, and then very cautiously . . . the first page.
He began to read:
