Get real. If there were any significant "secrets" contained on those tapes, they certainly wouldn't be sitting in some dusty Niagara Falls storeroom. Bordynuik claims only he can read them, so unless they kidnap the genius, there would be little benefit.

The truth is such a bore compared to imaginative conspiracies I realize.


NASA tapes could be deemed sensitive or top secret and the possibilities of certain entities wanting the info on them could make for a great cloak and dagger novel.Not to mention proprietary info concerning P2O.

The purpose of the Nasa tape reading was to reduse the storage of the warehouses full of tapes that cannot be destroyed unless the material contained is saved on another format Something about nation treasures . Earlier tapes read were earth weather displays.Nothing hush hush.Budget restraints halted the sending of large quantities and the tapes were released only when monies could be pulled from department budgets.Those tapes are still warehoused waiting for funds.

The NASA tapes contain data from the NIMBUS III and IV weather satellites from the late 1960's and early 1970's. If there was any Top Secret data on the tapes, I seriously doubt NASA would have handed them over to a foreign national with a criminal record.
