The Encounter
Darcy Weir is an independent researcher and filmmaker. He discusses UFO sightings during NASA's Skylab missions. On July 28, 1973, astronauts aboard Skylab 3 saw a bright red object outside their window. They observed it for about 10 minutes as it changed brightness. The object followed them into darkness, and they lost visual contact. The astronauts later reported the sighting, but there were inconsistencies in their accounts. They noted that no known satellites were near Skylab at that time. The encounter remains unexplained. Weir suggests that this incident reflects a larger issue of secrecy regarding UFOs and their potential implications for humanity.
Program Intelligence Analysis
The documentary explores various historical encounters with unidentified flying objects (UFOs) and the government's awareness of these phenomena. It highlights significant incidents involving NASA and the Iranian Air Force, as well as the tracking capabilities of NORAD and DSP satellites.
The Iranian Air Force encountered a UFO in September 1976 that was also detected by the DSP satellite system.

Encounter Research Breakdown
Phenomenological AnalysisThe account discusses a UFO sighting by astronauts aboard Skylab, providing specific details about the observation and the context of the sighting. However, it lacks corroboration from independent sources and does not provide a clear witness credibility context, resulting in a moderate score.
The crew of Skyab observed a bright red object outside their window while discussing their flight plan.
“Jack Luzma noticed a bright red object outside the window, visible well above the Earth's horizon.”
The crew observed and photographed the UFO for over 10 minutes, noting its oscillating light intensity.
“For over 10 minutes, the crew observed and photographed this bright red UFO, noting that its light intensity was oscillating between bright and dim.”
Visual contact with the UFO was lost as both Skyab and the object crossed into darkness.
“Finally, at 16:46 GMT, visual contact was lost.”

Five Observables (0/5)
The crew observed a bright red UFO that oscillated in light intensity for over 10 minutes.
The encounter is unique due to the extended observation of a bright red UFO by astronauts aboard Skyab, which was not reported until years later.
