Conspiracy theorists got the wrong end of the stick after mistakenly believing NASA was planning to cut the live footage broadcast from the International Space Station.
The space agency announced in a recent blog post that it was planning to change up its official coverage and would axe a daily 30-minute show called "Space Station Live".
Cue uproar from the alien-hunting community after believing the live feed from the orbiting space station would be cut.
Scott C. Waring, one of the most vocal UFO watchers wrote a blog post about NASA supposedly canning the ISS live feed.
"I can see why NASA would want to shut the live feed down. It is teaching the public that aliens exist, and if the public learns that, then NASA is no longer needed," he wrote, according to the Express .
"You learning about aliens is not what they want to happen. So, they are shutting down the live cams again," he wrote.
n fact, the space agency made it plain that the live feed would continue.
"The NASA TV channel is phasing out a daily, 30 minute show called "Space Station Live," which is not the same as the live video feeds from the station," it wrote last month .
"NASA TV will continue to air live coverage of dynamic space station operations, including launches, dockings, landings, spacewalks and briefings.
"NASA TV also will continue to air weekly highlights of life onboard station in the short-format Space to Ground program, also available on YouTube and via podcast."
Of course, keeping up a high definition transmission from a gigantic space laboratory travelling at 7.66 kilometers a second is bound to have its challenges.
That's why we can undoubtedly expect to see more drop-outs and yet more so-called alien cover-ups in NASA's future.
