NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper – a participant in the first US manned space program – recounted his UFO sighting experience.
“A camera crew was operating in the area when suddenly a flying saucer was spotted. They filmed it as it flew overhead, hovered overhead, then extended/extended its landing props, before slowly landing on a dry lake bed. This is a classic flying saucer, bright silver color and quite smooth, about 9m wide. It’s pretty clear this is an alien spacecraft.” – Gordon Cooper-

The event described by Mr. Cooper happened in 1957. At that time, he was one of the best test pilots at Edwards Air Force Base (Edwards AFB) in California (USA).
He also directs several other projects for the Experimental Flight Test School at Edwards Air Force Base. His credibility is something that has never been questioned.
On May 3 of that year, he and his team of engineers set up an advanced imaging system capable of capturing images of aircraft landing at a rate of one frame per second (the higher the ratio, the more movement in the image). smoother image). The system was located in a dry lake bed and the weather was clear and clear that day. Engineers started work early in the morning. They are equipped with both a motion camera and a still camera, to provide additional footage.
Around 10 a.m., two crew members, James Bittick and Jack Gettys, returned to Cooper to tell Cooper that they had seen a “strange, pan-shaped” flying object that didn’t make a single sound in the air. both landing and take-off.

This worries him, because there is no known man-made aircraft that can do the same. He also knows and trusts his team because they are all experienced cameramen so it won’t be easily confused.
They often observe test aircraft every day, so they are very familiar with their landing stages. The experience was extraordinary, Cooper recalls, and it clearly shocked his colleagues.
They explain how the saucer hangs above their heads, then expands/extends the landing props and lands less than 15 meters away from them. They quickly took the camera in hand to take pictures and record videos. When the two of them tried to approach the UFO, it quickly took off without making a single sound.

Cooper decided to follow the rules and called a special number of the Pentagon to report the incident. A general asked him to make the film and then immediately send it through military courier.
The senior official told Cooper not to make any prints of the film. However, he didn’t say not to look at the negatives.“He didn’t say I couldn’t look at the (negative) reel. So I did this when I received the film back from the lab and the scenes in the film were the same as reported by the camera crew,” Cooper said.

The photos are of excellent quality, as expected from a team professionally trained in aircraft photography. Unfortunately, Cooper never got a chance to see the reel before it was sent to the Pentagon.
Over the next few weeks, he hopes to be contacted by someone because he believes he is also part of the investigation. Finally, a plane of unknown origin has landed at one of America’s most secretive military bases.
But that never happened, and despite his best efforts, Cooper was unable to locate the photographs.
He claimed that the photographic evidence was seized for Project Blue Book, the official U.S. Air Force UFO investigation project at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (Wright-Patterson AFB) ). He firmly believes that “The Blue Book project itself is also a cover-up [a project created for the purpose of misleading, thereby concealing the real information]”,
Even until his death, this former astronaut maintained his beliefs and statements. In his memoirs, he wrote about another plane he had witnessed during his career, and he also mentioned the existence of hundreds of similar reports. He said:
“I have a good friend at Roswell, an officer friend. He’s very careful about what he says [Maybe it’s the nature of his job]. But this is certainly not a weather balloon, as the story concocted by the US Air Force. He made it clear to me that the object that crashed was an aircraft of alien origin, and that the bodies of the crew members had been recovered.”
Found evidence of UFOs and aliens in Roswell that the government concealed. But the US government was actively involved in covering up and concealing the evidence. When asked what he thinks of this trend, Cooper replied:
“This started during World War 2, when the government didn’t want people to know about UFO reports out of fear of possible chaos. They may fear that this is some kind of superpower enemy technology that we are not able to withstand.
“And then it got worse during the Cold War for the same reason. So they had to make up one untrue story, then another untrue story to cover up that unreal story, then another, and then another… accumulating so much that it moves further and further away from the truth.
“And right now I am sure that there are many government officials who are very anxious. They’re sitting over there in Washington, D.C., trying to figure out how to get the truth out. They know that eventually this information will have to be made public one day, and I firmly believe that this will happen.”
