Here's an intriguing video, which presents 'evidence', or at least, a theory, that something very unusual may have happened to Columbia in 2003, and that it may have been destroyed before re-entry.
Now I am normally quite skeptical when it comes to videos like this, especially with visual 'evidence' of unusual phenomena and strange goings on. Not that I am a skeptic that such things exist, and can and do happen, but such is the trickery and the disinformation that 'they' are pumping out these days. We must remain ever vigilant.

Now is all this complete and utter nonsense?? Apologies if this has already been posted. It may well be yet another hoax for us to waste our time upon. It's quite likely. But this vid is an interesting yarn nonetheless, and by no means the most implausible I have heard.
I ignore for now the supposition made in the video’s title, that ETs were responsible, and its alleged mission to deploy a spy satellite over Russia. It is intriguing enough with the idea here that Columbia met its end before re-entry. The official story is that a ‘foam strike’ on take off was to blame. The damage caused was enough to compromise the heat shield (the ceramic tiles), and the vessel broke apart on entering the atmosphere. But there is precedent for a cover up, for if I recall correctly there were attempts by NASA to cover their butts during the inquiry of the loss of Challenger. So could indeed something else have happened to Columbia, something even more damaging to them, and the many veils of secrecy they maintain, that would have them concoct a cover story of technical errors and unforeseen ‘acts of God’?
I do think it's worth looking at, at least until it's been disproved. Note specifically the second half of the video here, which claims to be genuine footage taken in earth orbit of the wreckage of shuttle Columbia. No documentation is provided to shed light on where this footage came from, or how it was obtained. It looks real. But that is no guarantee whatsoever that what you are looking at is the genuine article. We've all seen special effects movies, right? Then this sequence could very well be from a movie (not one I recognise), or have an origin with CGI artists presenting materiel as part of a portfolio. There are many such instances of this out there, and all are very elaborate and convincing. This is probably the case in my opinion, but would like to know more.
The author of the video claims one caveat however, and that is a slight anomaly of a NASA logo on the hull of the destroyed Columbia, that is not visible in the take off footage.
Here is a capture from the vid:
23982
Note the NASA decal, like a round blue circle, to the right of the words 'UNITED STATES'
Here is an image he provides from that very same launch, which shows no such logo at that spot
23988
Yet I found a couple of images rather quickly of the Columbia launch ST-107, that does indeed reveal the NASA logo on that area of the hull (I have highlighted it with a red arrow). This alone is an interesting inconsistency. Who knows what it means...
