STS-107 - the loss of Columbia and crew

The commander of this last flight of the space shuttle Columbia was on flights STS-96 and STS-107. I recognized a possible to connection to Apollo 7 because I was 9.6 years old at the launch of Apollo 7. Then I noted that I had been 10.7 years old at the launch of Apollo 12.

Apollo 12 was precisely in the middle of the Apollo series. There were 5 Apollo flights before Apollo 12. There were 5 Apollo launches after Apollo 12.

Then I noted the difference of my birth and the birth of the STS-107 commander. It was because he had been on STS-96 and STS-107 that got me thinking of this clue. His birth was 1 year, 33 weeks, 3 days, before my birth. That is similar to the 13 months, 3 days difference of Apollo 7 and Apollo 12. There is a repetition pattern to the 1-3-3.

Richard Douglas Husband (July 12, 1957 – February 1, 2003) was an astronaut and the space shuttle commander of STS-107 (Columbia) who was killed when the craft disintegrated after reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.


The pilot of STS-107 was 9.8 years old on 5/1/67. I was 9.8 years old when Apollo 8 launched. I think that 5/1/67 is when I first flew a jet aircraft at the age of 8 years. He was also 41 years, 3 months, 3 weeks, 2 days, old on 1/16/2003, the launch of STS-107. His birthday is also 5 months, 9 days, after 4/14 so there might be something else to find as well, or that could be the extent of the clue. His 16th birthday was 5 months, 9 days, after 4/14/77.

William Cameron "Willie" McCool (September 23, 1961 – February 1, 2003) was a United States Navy Commander, NASA astronaut and the Space Shuttle pilot of Columbia mission STS-107. He was killed when the craft disintegrated during re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere.


This next astronaut was on STS-87 and STS-107, which got me thinking that is a pointer to my age 12.7 years. The reason is that the STS-87 was part of a repetition pattern to make me think of 8.7 years, then 2 years later was 10.7, and then 2 years later would be 12.7. That is reinforced because I was 10.7 years at the launch of Apollo 12, and as I have written, that was the precise middle of the Apollo series. There were 5 Apollo launches before Apollo 12 and 5 launches after Apollo 12.

So, after reviewing my age at 12.7, I realized why that connection was made to this astronaut. When I was 12.7 years, she was 10.37 years, the same age I was at the launch of Apollo 11, the first flight to land on the Earth's moon.

She was precisely the same age. I was 12.7 years old on 11/13/71. She was 10 years, 135 days old on 11/13/71. I was 10 years, 135 days old on 7/16/69, the date Apollo 11 launched for the first landing on the Earth’s moon.

Kalpana Chawla (July 1, 1961 – 1 February 2003), was an Indian-born American astronaut and space shuttle mission specialist. She was one of seven crewmembers lost aboard Space Shuttle Columbia during mission STS-107 when the shuttle disintegrated upon reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.


Ilan Ramon, according to sources on the internet, was one of the F-16 pilots from Israel that destroyed Saddam Hussein's nuclear reactor before it could be loaded with radioactive fuel. He was 9849 days old on 6/7/81, the date the F-16 pilot destroyed that building.

I was 9845 days old on 2/14/86. That is the date I think I was shot down and taken captive on the continent of Africa, in what became a 15 month journey across the continent to escape back to the U.S. Navy. Even more curious is that I was 9849 days old on 2/18/86. I have been puzzling over that date for a while but I am not sure just what it means. It could be that I was shot down on the 14th and evaded capture until they got me on the 18th. I have listed below some clues that I found that suggest to me President Reagan was trying to get me out of captivity.

Ilan Ramon (June 20, 1954 – February 1, 2003) was a combat pilot in the Israeli Air Force and later the first Israeli astronaut. Ramon was the space shuttle payload specialist of STS-107 (Columbia) who was killed along with the rest of the shuttle's crew when it disintegrated during reentry into the Earth's atmosphere.


When I worked at Microsoft, they had this guy working around me named Tom Devey and I have been puzzling over how I remember that he looked very similar to Ilan Ramon. Then there was that time Microsoft transferred a woman named Ramona to work with me on a Microsoft Office project. Around that time, our manager looked very similar to a character out of a relevant movie. I noted this within that past couple months as I had not seen the movie in a long time. In the 1986 movie, “Iron Eagle” the star of the movie flies an F-16 Falcon into a Middle Eastern country to rescue his father, who is being held as a POW after being shot down. There is a scene where his father is leaning up against a truck next to the runway waiting for his son to land and pick him up. I noted that his father in that scene looked a lot like my Microsoft manager, Jerry Boesch, that Ramona and I reported to. I think Tom Devey indirectly reported to him too as part of that Microsoft Office project we were promoting.


As I mentioned I have been puzzling for a while about the significance of the date February 18th. It shows up a lot and seems to be connected to my captivity as a POW in 1986. Robert Hanssen was arrested on 2/18/2001. The article indicates he had been spying for at least 15 years. 15 years before 2/18/2001 was 2/18/1986.

Robert Philip Hanssen (born April 18, 1944) is an American former FBI agent who engaged in spying for the Soviet Union and Russia against the United States for a period of at least 15 years.

Hanssen was arrested on February 18, 2001, at Foxstone Park near his home in Vienna, Virginia, charged with selling American secrets to Moscow for $1.4 million in cash and diamonds over a 15-year period. On July 6, 2001, he pled guilty to 15 counts of espionage.[1][2] He was subsequently sentenced to life in prison. His traitorous activities have been described as "possibly the worst intelligence disaster in US history".


I feel as though I had been shot down on 2/14/86 and these announcement from President Reagan were designed to reflect that event. The one that really get me is about the Brotherhood/Sisterhood announcement and I have written about that several times before as to how that corresponds to my symbolic “memories.”

February 14th, 1986 Message to the House of Representatives Returning Without Approval a United States Coast Guard Bill

February 14th, 1986 Executive Order 12548—Grazing Fees

February 14th, 1986 Message on the Observance of Brotherhood/Sisterhood Week, February 16-22, 1986



This guy was 21.33 years old when I was born. I was 21.14 on 4/24/80, the date of Operation Eagle Claw, the attempted rescue of American hostage/POW's being held in Iran. I’m not sure why he would make such a reference. Maybe it has something to do with him telling the military that I had gone in to try to rescue American hostages back in 1980 and that I was then in need of such assistance myself.

Nomination of John A. Bohn, Jr., To Be President of the Export- Import Bank of the United States

February 18th, 1986

The President today announced his intention to nominate John A. Bohn, Jr., to be President of the Export-Import Bank of the United States for a term of 4 years. He would succeed William H. Draper.
...
He was born October 31, 1937, in Oakland, CA.



The number of days from this guy's 12/16/39 birth to 2/14/86 was 16862 days. Multiplying 16862 by 0.593 equals 9999.166 days. The number of days from 12/16/39 to 5/1/67 was 9999 days. I’m not entirely sure what the message is but 5/1/67 was the day I think I first flew a jet aircraft. I guess he was worried that 2/14/86 might be the last day I flew in a jet aircraft.

He was born December 16, 1939


On 2/18/86, this guy with the National Historical Publications and Records Commission, was 21486 days old. I think I had been shot down on 2/14/86 and President Reagan was working on getting me out of captivity. This might be the original source of my notion about “marking your calendar.” Maybe it was something President Reagan told my captors.

This guy was 33 years, 3.3 months old on 6/7/81. I’m not sure why this reference would be made other than to indicate what my captors would try to get out of me. I escaped sometime around 4/15/86. I think my guards were distracted when our forces were bombing military targets around me and I headed out into the desert, which they would have considered suicide in itself. And this all is why Microsoft-Corbis had the Ramon-look-a-like and the woman name Ramona around me at Microsoft; to instigate terrorism against me. And I have obviously been on my own with them targeting me for terrorism and I had no conscious idea that any of it was happening. I remember puzzling over why the Ramon-look-a-like seemed scared when he found out I was flying down to Los Angeles for the same conference he was going to. He was worried we were going to get killed by terrorists that were going to target us specifically, just as Microsoft-Corbis wanted to happen. That occurred in the months after 9/11. I think it was February 2002 I went to L.A. I experienced two suspicious accidents on my bicycle around that time and I am certain someone put down some kind of slippery substance over the pavement I was riding my bicycle on and I was lucky I didn’t crack my skull on that second crash. There was also that U.S. Attorney named Tom Wales that was assassinated around that time and I have been puzzling over that incident.
