Chinese people are demanding that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) provide the actual footage from the Shenzhou VII space walk to prove it was real. It was recently discovered that CCTV, the CCP’s official television station, pieced together segments of pre-recorded video and aired it as live footage from the spacecraft to serve as a propaganda ploy for the ruling regime. 

The Epoch Times discovered a fourth astronaut’s voice in the spacecraft giving orders and helping in the orbital module. This unknown astronaut can be heard in dialogue as the astronauts prepare to exit the capsule in the recorded CCTV video.

This new piece of evidence helps further the theory that the “live” video of the spacewalk may be an underwater training simulation video rather than a live broadcast.

According to official accounts, Shenzhou VII consists of three parts: an orbital module, a re-entry capsule, and a propulsion module. The astronauts left the orbital module, space walked, then returned to the re-entry capsule. The astronauts returned to Earth in the re-entry capsule after the orbital module and the propulsion module separated from the spacecraft one after the other.

The actual preparation to exit the orbital module on September 27th went more or less like the following: At noon, the astronauts emerged from the capsule and first transferred items that could not tolerate low-pressure, into the re-entry capsule. Jing Haipeng (voice 3) from Shanxi province remained in the re-entry capsule and closed the door between the orbital module and the re-entry capsule.

The two other astronauts from Heilongjiang province, Zhai Zhigang (voice 1) and Liu Boming (voice 2) stayed in the cramped space of the orbital module and proceeded with movement and equipment operation training.

Liu Boming (voice 2) wore a white Orlan, Sea-eagle, extravehicular spacesuit (Russian-made) and assisted Zhai Zhigang (voice 1), dressed in a white Feitian, Flying Beauty, (Chinese-made) extravehicular spacesuit, to exit.

But before the hatch opens for Liu Boming and Zhai Zhigang to exit, three distinct individuals can be heard in the orbital module, but only Liu Boming (voice 2) can be seen helping Zhai Zhigang (voice 1) exit. Both Liu Boming and Zhai Zhigang are from Heilongjiang province so their dialogue is in standard Mandarin. However, in CCTV's “live” video of the orbital module exit, there is another person present who doesn’t speak standard Mandarin. The mystery astronaut (voice 4) with an authoritative voice speaks directly to Zhai Zhigang (voice 1). Liu Boming's voice is completely different from mystery astronaut (voice 4). The “fourth” astronaut even directly says, “I'll lift.”
