Previously, both Johnson and another renowAeCl ~pertJ Phillip S. Clark of london's
Molniya Space COnsultanc.y who has studied ~e Soviet and Chinese space programs for
more than 20 years, had just Clbout eliminOltep Cd~moS , g6 as a poss)bility, assuming
witness repc.rts are accurate. The capsule was only 3 feet In diameter - much smaller
than the object reported by Kec:ksburg wiln+s,: Clark also pointed out that the
Cosmos capsule could not have made turns or descended slowly at an angle, as
witnesses reported . ' 1:,
Now, the Cosmos 96 explanation is no longe~ a question, and we have fewer options left:
to explain this mystery. As Dr. Peter Sturrocl(. emeritus professor of applied physics at
Stanford University, says in his book The UFO Eniptna, MIn pri naple, we can prove fI
nypothesis not only by finding strong elJiden~ in its favor, but also by finding stro~g
evidence against every other possibility," ~
