The UFO sighting of “alien spaceship” aboard the ISS turned out to be Russian urine

British astronaut Tim Peake recalled the moment he thought he saw a UFO in space during his time aboard the International Space Station (ISS).

Major Peake became the first British astronaut to join the ISS when he spent six months aboard the orbiting laboratory in 2015.

During his time on board, Major Peake said he once saw “three lights move in formation”, before they were joined by a fourth.

“We were perplexed until we realized that what we thought were distant lights from alien spaceships were actually tiny droplets that were very close together,” Major Peake told The Graham Norton Show.

“What was happening was the liquid leaking from a Russian probe vehicle, which instantly crystallizes and reflects light. What we were seeing was Russian urine. “

Major Peake hopes to return to space in the next few years, despite the initial trepidation he felt during his first mission.

“There’s always a thought in the back of my mind that I’m rolling the dice, but the prevailing feeling is adrenaline-fueled arousal,” he said.

“I’d like to [go back], absolutely. In fact, we are all scheduled for a second mission between now and 2024. I’m waiting on the phone. “

Earlier this year, the US Department of Defense released videos of what they described as “unexplained aerial phenomena,” suggesting theories that they show alien UFOs.

The three videos released were captured by US pilots in 2004 and 2015, but were only released this year after the footage was leaked to the New York Times.

One of the pilots who captured the 2004 footage described an oblong object hovering above the Pacific Ocean, saying “it accelerated like nothing I’ve ever seen”.

In response to the videos, Democratic Senate leader Harry Reid said the Pentagon should take “a serious and scientific look at this,” adding, “it only scratches the surface of available research materials.”

The Pentagon said in a statement at the time: “After a thorough examination, the department determined that the authorized release of these unclassified videos reveals no sensitive capabilities or systems and does not interfere with subsequent investigations into military airspace raids. . from unidentified aerial phenomena. “
