NASA astronaut reveals spotting alien-like object floating near him in space!
HOUSTON, Texas (PNN) - August 9, 2018 - A NASA astronaut has claimed he once saw an "alien-like organic object" floating outside his space shuttle.
Leland Melvin, 54, worked as an engineer on board Atlantis when he spotted the translucent item while orbiting Earth.
NASA said the incident was just ice breaking away from the vessel.
In a chat on Twitter with fans about his experiences in space he was asked if he had ever seen any aliens or UFOs.
Melvin revealed that he had seen “something, organic, alien-like” in the payload bay of the shuttle when he was working with colleague Randy Bresnik.
The astronaut said the object he saw was “translucent, curved, and organic looking” - ending his tweet with an alien emoji.
