Strange conversation from columbia space shuttle

This was not seen by me but actually "heard" from the nasa satelite channel.

I got up on the Saturday morn the shuttle columbia was in orbit. I believe it had been in orbit about a week. This was one week before it's schedueled landing, when it broke up re-entering earth's atmosphere.

I was listening to a female in the shuttle and a female on the ground exchange comments. This comment caught me attention!

"There is a formation of small lights going by."

Then the ground control female said "Roger that, formation of small lights going by."

That was all that was said concerning the lights.

I have not heard anyone from anywhere mention this, but I know what I heard, and to think the columbia never made it back to earth in one piece.

NUFORC Note:

We have amended the date above. Columbia's return was on February 01, 2003, so a week earlier, on a Saturday, would have been January 25, 2003. PD
