00:00:00No!
00:00:01What is the name?
00:00:02There's a whole fleet of a hook on the A.S.A.
00:00:05Hey, I don't know what that's on the A.S.A.
00:00:07Oh, big man!
00:00:09There's a whole fleet of a hook on the A.S.A.
00:00:24Gemini 5 demonstrated the eight day endurance necessary for an Apollo lunar mission.
00:00:49I just want to quickly go over some of the photographic proof and evidence directly
00:00:53from the NASA archive.
00:00:55Presidents may not have the need to know on the UFO subject.
00:01:00Prove that man could fly into orbit around the Earth and return live and well to talk about it.
00:01:07Now, one of the major mission goals for our astronauts in space was to take pictures.
00:01:12That's the simple truth.
00:01:14Now, due to the fact that NASA reported many mission photos or mission picture archives
00:01:24as lost or destroyed, had it not been for the declassification of these incredible VTR transcript documents.
00:01:31You often hear people like mainstream or conventional scientists or, you know, people in the media also saying things like,
00:01:54it would be impossible to keep a secret on something as extraordinary as real UFOs.
00:01:58Are you kidding?
00:01:59NASA.
00:02:00They would love or SETI.
00:02:02They would love to announce such a finding to the world.
00:02:05And I just laugh.
00:02:07I just laugh.
00:02:09And NASA, for example, they've had classified connections.
00:02:12They're its entire existence when it was founded in 1958.
00:02:16It's deeply embedded with the United States military.
00:02:20They've participated in numerous classified missions with the United States military.
00:02:25They are bound by military secrecy protocols when they are engaged in those things.
00:02:30And on top of that, I mean, such people who make these arguments, it's like they have not the slightest recognition that there is a classified world that exists that has been dealing with the UFO phenomenon since the beginning.
00:02:44And they make these assumptions because, quite frankly, they don't know anything about the UFO history.
00:02:48Like, it's obvious when you listen to these people talk.
00:02:51They just don't know it.
00:02:52And they haven't studied the development of the secrecy apparatus around the UFO subject, as I and many other people have done, you know, since it really sprung up in the 1940s and significantly so.
00:03:22These classic UFO photographs have been seen for decades.
00:03:40This UFO was photographed by a sheep farmer.
00:03:44This was taken in 1950 from a man in Oregon.
00:03:49Photos like this were scoffed at by skeptics in the 1950s.
00:03:55This photo was taken in Madrid, Dios, Peru.
00:03:59This one was taken by Steven Pratt in Yorkshire, United Kingdom.
00:04:05Altitude, 67 miles.
00:04:10Speed, Mach 6, 4,104 miles an hour.
00:04:14The highest and fastest a wind aircraft has ever flown.
00:04:18This is the X-15 in its final stage of development.
00:04:22This run, if successful, will mark the beginning of a whole new era of flight research.
00:04:28All right, Mr. Captain.
00:04:29I'm responsible.
00:04:30Looks okay.
00:04:31You're down here, Scott.

00:05:07Early on in American post-World War II history,
00:05:32Eisenhower and his cabinet understood that there had to be a law established to protect the public and therefore the people from information that could cause panic or disturbance to the economy and the American way of life.
00:05:51That's where the executive order comes in.
00:06:02To the X-15 research airplane team,
00:06:28the scientists, engineers, technicians, and pilots of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration,
00:06:37the Department of Defense and North American Aviation incorporated for the conception, design, development, construction, and flight operation of the X-15 research airplane,
00:06:51which contributed valuable research information in the supersonic and hypersonic speed regime up to the fringes of space.
00:07:02And who have thereby made an outstanding contribution to American leadership in aerospace science and technology and in the operation of manned space flight?
00:07:17NASA Deputy Administrator, Hugh L. Dryden.
00:07:2257,000 pounds of thrust with a throttle attached.
00:07:42No engine like this had ever existed before, but Thiokol built one for the X-15.
00:07:47Now, what kind of airframe could be designed to carry such an engine?
00:07:57The X-15 was designed and built to take the stresses encountered at hypersonic speeds, to go to extreme high altitude, and to beat the heat.
00:08:07Survive the extreme high temperatures that build up on the wing, fuselage, and tail during the re-entry to the Earth's atmosphere.
00:08:14The engineering research contribution we made at North American Aviation to the X-15 project was to take NASA's proposal to build this aircraft and to find out how they could be met.
00:08:27For example, they proposed to use a new nickel alloy metal for the protective sheath or skin on all three of the airframes of the X-15.
00:08:36We had to find out how it could be used.
00:08:38Inconel-X was the name of the new nickel alloy.
00:08:42It was developed to withstand the searing temperatures at hypersonic speeds, temperatures of 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit or more.
00:08:49But to use Inconel-X, it had to be cross-welded, and no one had been able to do it before.
00:08:59A major milestone was passed when North American discovered how it could be done.
00:09:05North American also originated the idea of fairings along each side of the X-15 fuselage to house control cables and hydraulic lines.
00:09:13This left the entire fuselage volume for power plant plumbing, as well as fuel and propellant tanks.
00:09:21Another invaluable North American contribution was the X-15 flight simulator, permitting pilots and ground controllers to plan and practice flights without ever leaving the ground.
00:09:32From an exact replica of the X-15 cockpit, the pilot could actuate hydraulic and control systems identical to those on the aircraft itself.
00:09:43All this was tied into an analog computer that could program actual X-15 missions and simulate every conceivable in-flight problem the pilot might expect to face.
00:09:53Practice in the flight simulator was just one phase of pre-flight preparation.
00:10:03Another took place in the centrifuge at the Navy's Air Development Test Center at Johnsville, Pennsylvania.
00:10:10Now, the first of three X-15s was about to begin a series of test flights.
00:10:16The schedule called for an orderly progression of tests.
00:10:20In the first flights, the X-15 would remain attached to the B-52.
00:10:25Then a glide flight would be tried.
00:10:27Only then would powered flight be attempted.
00:10:35Attached to a specially designed wing pylon, Major White and his X-15 were carried aloft by a modified NB-52 mothership.
00:10:46White rapidly accelerated to a top speed of Mach 4.8.
00:10:53After 81 seconds of powered flight, the XLR-99 engine exhausted its fuel supply and shut down,
00:11:01leaving the X-15 to coast to a new FIA absolute altitude record for piloted aircraft of 317,450 feet or 59.6 miles above Earth.
00:11:18While his flight was at Apogee, and he was experiencing over three minutes of zero gravity,
00:11:33Major White was able to look out the left side window of his X-15.
00:11:38Major White commented further about his UFO encounter he had while at the very edge of space.
00:12:07And none of this is really all that outrageous.
00:12:24All you have to do is a little bit of research on it, and you can see how the development of, for example,
00:12:28black-budget types of structures evolved in the 1940s and 50s, frequently connected with the UFO phenomenon.
00:12:37Secrecy around UFOs has been quantifiably knowable since the 1940s.
00:12:46We have classified, we have a number of classified documents that in the late 1970s were declassified
00:12:54during America's golden era of freedom of information.
00:13:00An amazing period in the late 70s was after Vietnam, was after Watergate.
00:13:04Jimmy Carter also issued an executive order that provided a bonanza of formerly classified documents
00:13:15that I don't think anyone expected these things to come out, but they did come out.
00:13:19And they speak to this about the fact that the matter of flying saucers or UFOs is rated top secret
00:13:26by the intelligence community, and many, many such statements.
00:13:32So we know that they took it seriously.
00:13:36Then on the 12th of August, just eight days later, Major Bob White was up before the cameras
00:13:41after his 136,500-foot record-breaking altitude flight.
00:13:46The flight today offered, I would say, no problems, and nothing that could be considered a limitation
00:13:55as far as man's ability to fly an aircraft.
00:14:01Several months earlier, during one of NASA test pilot Joseph Walker's X-15 flights,
00:14:07the camera system captured what Walker later described as being five or six disc-shaped
00:14:14or cylindrical objects near his aircraft.
00:14:17During a May 11, 1962 lecture, Joe Walker also claimed that one of his mission objectives
00:14:25was to detect and film UFOs at high altitude.
00:14:31At what point did you reach your maximum speed?
00:14:35If you noticed the vapor trail from the engine, at the instant it cut off,
00:14:40that was the point at which I reached the maximum speed.
00:14:44Now, what was your altitude then?
00:14:45Around 66,000.
00:14:47On May 11, 1962, during his lecture, Walker showed several photographs to the audience
00:14:54of these UFOs captured on film, although NASA has since only ever made one of these frames public.
00:15:02Joe, how does it feel to be the fastest living human?
00:15:16I don't know if I feel much different than I did yesterday, except that the waiting for the flight is over, finally.
00:15:24I don't know if they'reピ SY, but I'm 50 minutes, but I'm still in��.
00:15:26I don't know if I'm going through any YES, but this is something just per crashed.
00:15:29Thank you for that.

00:15:31Thanks for listening.
00:15:33Come тут.
00:15:33Nicholas.
00:15:34Let me know at which you do this way.
00:15:36The 13th speculative karate show is very serious when, and you know we have the purpose for you to find found that you know.
00:15:41But this is a pretty staggering.
00:15:44Charlotte, staff member.
00:15:45I believe in the last eight nuevas investigates where the endlichicion Kolleginnen andetahshart Maßnahmen and comedy has been anticipated.
00:15:47To see you through this episode o'clock can least be hospitalized in a minute now.
00:15:49And for years, a bit of a game.
00:15:51Then I believe in your story before.
00:15:51There must have philosophies look at the clock takiej.

00:17:24Very truly yours,
00:17:26Ralph B. Jackson,
00:17:27Public Information Officer.
00:17:29November 23, 1962.
00:17:33Dear Mr. Deal,
00:17:35as I explained in my letter
00:17:37of October 16, 1962,
00:17:41the film you seek
00:17:43are of a technical nature
00:17:45and therefore are available
00:17:47only to official technical groups
00:17:50on a need-to-know basis.
00:17:52As of this date,
00:17:54I am unable to find
00:17:55any official recognition
00:17:57of your group.
00:17:59However,
00:18:00as you show a great deal
00:18:01of enthusiasm
00:18:02and desire to see these films,
00:18:05and the films are by no means
00:18:07confidential,
00:18:09I invite you to visit us
00:18:10at your convenience,
00:18:12and at that time,
00:18:14I will only be too happy
00:18:15to show you the films.
00:18:18January 24, 1963.
00:18:22Dear Mr. Deal,
00:18:24the bug-eye camera footage
00:18:26taken on the X-15 flights
00:18:28of April 30 and July 17, 1962
00:18:32are public domain material
00:18:35and has been released
00:18:37to the news media.
00:18:38To date,
00:18:39there has been no production film
00:18:41made available to the public,
00:18:44including this footage.
00:18:45This footage is designated
00:18:47as stock footage,
00:18:49and we do not loan out
00:18:51stock footage
00:18:52to the general public.
00:18:54The reason for this
00:18:56is that there is no soundtrack
00:18:58describing what you are seeing.
00:19:01However,
00:19:02at your own expense,
00:19:04we can make available
00:19:05a work print
00:19:06at approximately
00:19:0720 cents a foot.
00:19:10I hope in the near future,
00:19:11we will have the footage
00:19:13you speak of
00:19:13in a production film.
00:19:15June 11, 1981.
00:19:18Dear Mr. Greenwood,
00:19:20Enclosed is the only photograph
00:19:22we have available
00:19:24which relates to
00:19:25an unidentified object
00:19:27as seen by the X-15 pilot,
00:19:30Major Robert White.
00:19:31on July 17, 1962.

00:20:54we have located
00:20:55concerning UFOs.
00:20:58With regard

00:21:00the Audio-Visual Branch,
00:21:02located here
00:21:03at NASA Headquarters,
00:21:05was not able

00:21:09by either
00:21:10Joseph A. Walker
00:21:12or Major Robert White.
00:21:14Sincerely,
00:21:16Patricia M. Wright.
00:21:24Just before the time
00:21:26that NASA
00:21:26and the Air Force
00:21:27were successfully
00:21:28launching the X-15 missions
00:21:30as well as
00:21:31capturing UFOs
00:21:32on camera,
00:21:33Eisenhower
00:21:34was growing weary
00:21:35of the power
00:21:36that the military-industrial
00:21:37complex was garnering
00:21:38in politics.
00:21:40He clearly understood
00:21:42that war
00:21:43should not
00:21:43be glorified
00:21:44to the extent
00:21:45of becoming
00:21:46like a profit-making business.
00:21:52I come to you
00:21:53with a message
00:21:54of leave-taking
00:21:55and farewell.
00:21:56This speech
00:21:57did not get
00:21:57very much attention.
00:21:58When a new president
00:21:59is coming to power
00:22:00as John Kennedy was,
00:22:02the spotlight
00:22:02was not on
00:22:03Dwight Eisenhower.
00:22:04We have been compelled
00:22:05to create
00:22:05a permanent
00:22:06armaments industry
00:22:07of vast proportions.
00:22:08There was a feeling
00:22:10at the time
00:22:11that this must have
00:22:11been written
00:22:12by some speech writer
00:22:13who just sneaked
00:22:14into the speech.
00:22:14In the councils
00:22:15of government,
00:22:16we must guard
00:22:17against the acquisition
00:22:19of unwarranted influence,
00:22:21whether sought
00:22:22or unsought,
00:22:23by the military-industrial
00:22:25complex.
00:22:26Three months ago,
00:22:27we got contacted
00:22:29by a family
00:22:30up in Minnesota
00:22:31saying that
00:22:32we have documents
00:22:34from Malcolm Moose.
00:22:35He was responsible
00:22:36in part for drafting
00:22:38the military-industrial
00:22:40complex speech.
00:22:41These new papers
00:22:42give us written evidence
00:22:43that this was not
00:22:45just some caprice
00:22:46of Eisenhower's
00:22:47or something
00:22:47by some speech writer.
00:22:48You see the evolution
00:22:49of his speech
00:22:51from May 1959
00:22:52to 1961.
00:22:55And he wanted
00:22:55to give this speech
00:22:56for a long time,
00:22:57two years.
00:22:58Fighting men
00:22:59of World War II
00:23:00or Korea.
00:23:01There was one person
00:23:02in Dwight Eisenhower's life
00:23:04whom he really confided
00:23:05almost everything to
00:23:06and that was
00:23:07his brother Milton.
00:23:08There's one particular
00:23:10document
00:23:10where the speechwriters
00:23:11had already drafted
00:23:13their version
00:23:15of his speech
00:23:16only to see
00:23:17Milton come along
00:23:19and totally revamp
00:23:20what had already
00:23:22been written.
00:23:23When Milton Eisenhower
00:23:24was taking notes
00:23:26and writing things
00:23:27on the drafts
00:23:27of these speeches,
00:23:29the speechwriters
00:23:29knew that
00:23:30wasn't Milton talking,
00:23:31it was Ike.
00:23:32The potential
00:23:33for the disastrous
00:23:34rise of misplaced
00:23:35power exists
00:23:36and will persist.
00:23:38He would see
00:23:39magazines with
00:23:40advertisements
00:23:41for some,
00:23:42you know,
00:23:42new warplane
00:23:43or some bomb
00:23:44and he got so angry
00:23:45he'd take the magazine
00:23:46and throw it
00:23:46into the fireplace
00:23:47of the Oval Office
00:23:48because he felt
00:23:49that defense spending
00:23:51should not be something
00:23:52that would be encouraged
00:23:53by companies
00:23:54who are seeking
00:23:55commercial gain.
00:23:56We must never
00:23:57let the weight
00:23:57of this combination
00:23:58endanger our liberties
00:24:00or democratic process.
00:24:06The development
00:24:07of space bombing systems
00:24:09is already being conducted
00:24:10by the USA
00:24:11at the present time
00:24:13under the NIBS program.
00:24:15This program includes
00:24:16a series of special reports.
00:24:18One of them envisages
00:24:20the development
00:24:20of carrier satellites
00:24:22of space-to-surface
00:24:24class missiles
00:24:25orbiting at an altitude
00:24:26of about 200 kilometers.
00:24:28The other projects
00:24:29envisage the creation
00:24:30of strategic satellite bombers
00:24:32in low and high orbits.
00:24:34The practical creation
00:24:36of a space bombing system
00:24:38is considered feasible
00:24:39in the near future.
00:24:40An important role
00:24:41in attaining supremacy
00:24:42in space,
00:24:44this was especially stressed
00:24:45by the former chief of staff
00:24:46of the U.S. Air Force,
00:24:48General Thomas White.
00:24:49The first steps
00:24:50in developing
00:24:50manned spaceships
00:24:52are the work
00:24:52of the experimental
00:24:53X-15 aircraft
00:24:54and the manned satellite
00:24:56of the Mercury project.
00:24:58Subsequent phases
00:24:59in this direction
00:25:00should be orbital
00:25:01gliding bombers
00:25:01and reconnaissance aircraft
00:25:03being developed
00:25:04in the Dinosaur project
00:25:06and also
00:25:07in the initial stage
00:25:08by several leading
00:25:09American companies.
00:25:10The creation
00:25:11of manned space stations
00:25:13and command posts
00:25:14are planned
00:25:15for the future.
00:25:17The moon
00:25:18is considered
00:25:18to be an important element
00:25:20of the U.S. deterrent
00:25:21force in space.
00:25:23Its role
00:25:23from this point of view
00:25:24had already been stressed
00:25:25in January of 1958.
00:25:27Major Robert M. White
00:25:35steps from a van
00:25:36at Edwards Air Force Base
00:25:37to go aloft
00:25:38in the X-15
00:25:38for an assault
00:25:40on the altitude record
00:25:41now held
00:25:41by that craft.
00:25:43A stubby winged X-15
00:25:44is carried skyward
00:25:45by a B-52 mothership.
00:25:47Day is planned
00:25:48to release White
00:25:48and his plane
00:25:4945,000 feet
00:25:50over Nevada
00:25:51and when he re-enters
00:25:52the Earth's atmosphere
00:25:53for a landing
00:25:54he undergoes
00:25:55five times
00:25:56the force of gravity.
00:25:57Major White
00:25:58is now eligible
00:25:59for astronaut wings
00:26:00awarded to all pilots
00:26:02who fly higher
00:26:02than 50 miles.
00:26:04His speed
00:26:04during the flight
00:26:05was 3,700 miles an hour.
00:26:07Not a record
00:26:08but he wasn't
00:26:09riding a local either.
00:26:13Seven-year-old son Gregory
00:26:14was a proud witness.
00:26:18The saga of the X-15
00:26:19and its pilots
00:26:20is marked
00:26:21at the White House
00:26:21as the four men
00:26:23who have piloted
00:26:23the plane
00:26:24receive the famed
00:26:25Collier Trophy
00:26:25that is awarded
00:26:26for noted contributions
00:26:27to aviation.
00:26:29Along with Major White,
00:26:30Scott Crossfield,
00:26:31Joseph Walker
00:26:32and Commander
00:26:33Forrest Peterson
00:26:33are honoring
00:26:34for their work
00:26:35with the plane.
00:26:36Honors for men
00:26:37of daring
00:26:37who have contributed
00:26:38greatly
00:26:38to the conquest
00:26:39of space.
00:26:40Folded in the side
00:26:50of the canister
00:26:50a 13-story balloon
00:26:52is hoisted
00:26:52into space
00:26:53atop a Thor rocket.
00:26:54This is a test
00:26:55preliminary
00:26:55to orbiting
00:26:56another space
00:26:57listening post
00:26:58next fall
00:26:59which will inflate
00:27:00just as this one does
00:27:01and then orbit
00:27:02the Earth
00:27:02as Echo 2.
00:27:04In this test
00:27:05the shiny balloon
00:27:06inflates perfectly
00:27:06and then soars
00:27:08922 miles
00:27:09above the Earth
00:27:10in a completely
00:27:11successful test.
00:27:18The Queen Elizabeth
00:27:19sails for Europe
00:27:20with a distinguished
00:27:21passenger.
00:27:22Former President
00:27:23Eisenhower
00:27:24is making his first
00:27:25trip abroad
00:27:25as a private citizen
00:27:26since 1929
00:27:28and he says
00:27:29this is going
00:27:29to be a fun trip.
00:27:31The General
00:27:31is accompanied
00:27:32by his wife
00:27:33and their two
00:27:33grandchildren
00:27:34Dwight David 14
00:27:35and Barbara Ann 13.
00:27:38Mr. Eisenhower
00:27:38will make
00:27:39but one official
00:27:40appearance.
00:27:40He will address
00:27:41an international
00:27:42teachers conference
00:27:43in Stockholm.
00:27:45In a shipboard
00:27:46interview
00:27:47the General
00:27:47says he hopes
00:27:48to carry abroad
00:27:49the message
00:27:49that the United
00:27:50States wants peace
00:27:51but will not
00:27:52be pushed around.
00:27:53A bon voyage
00:27:54to Mr. Eisenhower
00:27:56private citizen.
00:27:59The object
00:28:00that was reported
00:28:01to the International
00:28:02UFO Bureau
00:28:03in 1967
00:28:05appeared bluish
00:28:06at first
00:28:07and then changed
00:28:08the eyewitness
00:28:09was none other
00:28:11than Jimmy Carter
00:28:12former President
00:28:13of the United States.
00:28:15But first I want
00:28:16to ask you
00:28:16this is a question
00:28:17that I think
00:28:17is very important
00:28:18to me
00:28:18and very important
00:28:19to the country.
00:28:20When you were
00:28:21in office
00:28:21and I don't know
00:28:22when this happened
00:28:23or if it happened
00:28:24did you go through
00:28:25the secret files
00:28:26the UFO document?
00:28:29Maybe.
00:28:30Because if I was
00:28:30President
00:28:31that would be
00:28:31the first thing
00:28:32I did.
00:28:32You know it's funny
00:28:33my daughters
00:28:33asked the very
00:28:34same question.
00:28:35They did?
00:28:35Yeah.
00:28:36Would you be
00:28:37allowed to tell
00:28:37your daughters
00:28:38what was in
00:28:39those files?
00:28:40No.
00:28:41You would not?
00:28:41No.
00:28:42Now that you're
00:28:42out of office
00:28:43you can do
00:28:43anything you want
00:28:44right?
00:28:44True.
00:28:45Yeah.
00:28:46But I'm not
00:28:47telling you.
00:28:48You're not telling
00:28:48me what?
00:28:52Are you not
00:28:52telling me
00:28:52that you looked
00:28:53at them?
00:28:54I'm not telling
00:28:54you nothing.
00:28:55Nothing.
00:28:59Are there
00:28:59really great secrets
00:29:00that you know
00:29:01that you can't
00:29:02share with people?
00:29:03Yeah.
00:29:03Yeah there are.
00:29:04All right
00:29:04President Clinton
00:29:05first things first
00:29:06before we move on
00:29:07UFOs.
00:29:08You've been the
00:29:08president.
00:29:09You've seen all
00:29:09the info.
00:29:10Are they real?
00:29:11You know they've
00:29:12given us an idea
00:29:13for our next book.
00:29:14What do you know?
00:29:15What can you tell us?
00:29:16The truth is that
00:29:18we've never proved
00:29:19one but there are
00:29:19things flying around
00:29:20up there that we
00:29:21haven't fully
00:29:22identified yet.
00:29:23And keep in mind
00:29:24there are
00:29:25mostly a billion
00:29:28galaxies in an
00:29:29ever expanding
00:29:29universe.
00:29:30I mean you
00:29:31can't even get
00:29:31your mind around
00:29:32the sheer number
00:29:34of things that
00:29:35are out there.
00:29:36But you've seen
00:29:36this.
00:29:37You've seen
00:29:38the data.
00:29:40Well no one
00:29:41knows but I
00:29:41think that the
00:29:42probability is
00:29:43that there's
00:29:45something you
00:29:45would call life
00:29:46somewhere else.
00:29:48Comes the aliens
00:29:49there's some
00:29:51things I just
00:29:51can't tell you
00:29:52on air.
00:29:53But what is
00:29:55true and I'm
00:29:56actually being
00:29:57serious here is
00:29:58is that there
00:29:59are there's
00:30:01footage and
00:30:02records of
00:30:03objects in the
00:30:05skies that we
00:30:06don't know
00:30:07exactly what they
00:30:08are.
00:30:08We can't explain
00:30:09how they moved
00:30:12their trajectory.
00:30:15Before we go
00:30:16one of the things
00:30:16you have as
00:30:18president is the
00:30:19access to all the
00:30:19information.
00:30:20Right.
00:30:20in the world.
00:30:22All the mysteries
00:30:22out there.
00:30:23And I was just
00:30:23struck in the last
00:30:24couple weeks we're
00:30:25reading more and
00:30:26more reports of
00:30:26Navy pilots seeing
00:30:28lots and lots of
00:30:29UFOs.
00:30:29Have you been
00:30:30briefed on that?
00:30:31What do you
00:30:31think of it?
00:30:31I have.
00:30:32I think it's
00:30:32probably I want
00:30:35them to think
00:30:35whatever they think.
00:30:36They do say I
00:30:37mean I've seen
00:30:38and I've read and
00:30:39I've heard and I
00:30:40did have one very
00:30:41brief meeting on
00:30:42it but people are
00:30:42saying they're
00:30:43seeing UFOs.
00:30:44Do I believe it?
00:30:45Not particularly.
00:30:46Do you think you'd
00:30:47know if there were
00:30:49evidence of
00:30:49extraterrestrials?
00:30:50Well I think my
00:30:50great our great
00:30:52pilots would know
00:30:53and some of them
00:30:55really see things
00:30:56that are a little
00:30:56bit different than
00:30:57in the past so
00:30:58we're going to see
00:30:58but we'll watch it
00:31:00you'll be the first
00:31:00to know.
00:31:01I won't talk to you
00:31:02about what I know
00:31:03about it but it's
00:31:04very interesting but
00:31:06Roswell's a very
00:31:06interesting place with
00:31:08a lot of people that
00:31:09would like to know
00:31:09what's going on.
00:31:10So you're saying you
00:31:11may declassify you'll
00:31:12take it?
00:31:13Well I'll have to
00:31:14think about that one
00:31:15right?
00:31:16And you never
00:31:17write about them?
00:31:18No.
00:31:19Maybe at a time
00:31:20in your eyephlist
00:31:21you're like I'm 90
00:31:22I'm going to do it.
00:31:22No.
00:31:23No nothing.
00:31:24It is a quite
00:31:24well established
00:31:25truth in the UFO
00:31:27research field that
00:31:29presidents may not
00:31:31have the need to
00:31:32know on the UFO
00:31:33subject.
00:31:34This is because they
00:31:35come and go within
00:31:36a four or eight year
00:31:38term if they're lucky.
00:31:40But the story goes
00:31:41that many presidents
00:31:42over the years have
00:31:44either been rumored
00:31:45to have been involved
00:31:47with the ET issue
00:31:48or have requested
00:31:51to be read into
00:31:53the subject.
00:31:54For example there's a
00:31:56rumor that Eisenhower
00:31:57had an actual face-to-face
00:31:59meeting with the ET.
00:32:01There's also Jimmy Carter.
00:32:03What's more interesting
00:32:04is that now the last
00:32:06four presidents that
00:32:07have been in power
00:32:09seem to have some
00:32:11knowledge or have
00:32:13been briefed to some
00:32:15extent about ET
00:32:17or UFOs over the
00:32:20years?
00:32:21I've said this before
00:32:22and I wanted to ask
00:32:23you if any of them
00:32:24told you if aliens
00:32:25were real.
00:32:26Oh.
00:32:28I asked Obama.
00:32:29I asked Obama if
00:32:31aliens were real.
00:32:31What did he say?
00:32:32What did he say?
00:32:33He said he wouldn't
00:32:34answer the question.
00:32:35I said well that's a
00:32:35yes.
00:32:37I was just thinking
00:32:38about that the other
00:32:39day.
00:32:39Wasn't it just like a
00:32:41year ago that we got
00:32:43the report and then
00:32:44the people like members
00:32:46like the secretary of
00:32:47the Navy or something
00:32:48went on on 60 Minutes
00:32:50and said yeah it's
00:32:51real.
00:32:52And we're all just
00:32:53going on with our
00:32:54lives.
00:32:54I know it's crazy.
00:32:55How are we just going
00:32:56on with our lives when
00:32:58we know that there are
00:32:59real UFOs out there?
00:33:02I think they're
00:33:03softening up the beach.
00:33:04They're just like okay
00:33:04they handled the video
00:33:06and the proof pretty
00:33:07well.
00:33:08Now let's let them know
00:33:09that there are aliens
00:33:10because they're afraid
00:33:11we're going to freak
00:33:11out.
00:33:12Yeah.
00:33:12The best part of my
00:33:14Mercury mission was
00:33:14naming it Sigma 7
00:33:16meaning a sum of
00:33:17engineering effort.
00:33:18Not a fancy name like
00:33:20Freedom or Faith or
00:33:21Aurora.
00:33:21Not that I didn't
00:33:22appreciate those names
00:33:24but I wanted to prove
00:33:24that there was a team of
00:33:26people working together
00:33:27to make this vehicle go.
00:33:28That's why I talked so
00:33:29wildly about knowing the
00:33:30engineers how they were
00:33:31brothers and buddies and
00:33:32all of them were and
00:33:33that's what I saw as the
00:33:36ultimate on that mission
00:33:37was an engineering test
00:33:38flight where we weren't
00:33:40going to look around
00:33:40for fireflies.
00:33:59Another space program
00:34:01that started up alongside
00:34:03the X-15 project
00:34:04was the Mercury project.
00:34:08When people first heard
00:34:09astronaut John Glenn's
00:34:11fireflies, a now famous
00:34:13incident that almost had a
00:34:15war of the worlds effect
00:34:17you know similar to
00:34:19Orson Welles famous radio
00:34:21program that threw shock
00:34:24and awe into the United
00:34:25States when it aired.
00:34:27They lit up like they're
00:34:28luminescent and never saw
00:34:29anything like it.
00:34:30They're around the little
00:34:31they're coming by the
00:34:32capsule and they look
00:34:35like little stars, a
00:34:36whole shower of them
00:34:37coming by.
00:34:40They swirl around the
00:34:41capsule and go in front
00:34:43of the window and
00:34:43they're all brilliantly
00:34:44lighted.
00:34:45They've probably averaged
00:34:47maybe seven or eight
00:34:49feet apart but I can see
00:34:51them all down below me
00:34:52also.
00:34:52They're going at the same
00:35:08speed I am approximately.
00:35:11They're only very slightly
00:35:13under my speed.
00:35:14They do have a different
00:35:23motion though from me
00:35:24because they swirl around
00:35:26the capsule and then
00:35:28depart back the way that
00:35:30I am looking.
00:35:34Are you receiving?
00:35:35There are literally
00:35:43thousands of them.
00:35:46This is Friendship 7.
00:35:48Am I in contact with
00:35:50anyone?
00:35:50Over.
00:35:50Project Mercury, America's
00:36:01first manned space program
00:36:02lasted from 1958 to 1963.
00:36:07The Mercury 7, test pilots
00:36:08all, Scott Carpenter, Gordon
00:36:10Cooper, John Glenn, Gus
00:36:12Grissom, Wally Schirra,
00:36:14and Alan Shepard Jr.
00:36:16and Deke Slayton.
00:36:18Their task proved that man
00:36:21could fly into orbit around
00:36:23the Earth and return live
00:36:25and well to talk about it.
00:36:27Shepard was first in Freedom
00:36:297.
00:36:29His 15-minute suborbital hop
00:36:31on May 5, 1961, proved the
00:36:34United States was catching up
00:36:36with the Soviet Union.
00:36:38Three weeks later, President
00:36:39Kennedy's call for a lunar
00:36:40landing.
00:36:41I believe that this nation should
00:36:41commit itself to achieving the
00:36:43goal before this decade is out
00:36:46of landing a man on the Moon
00:36:48and returning him safely to
00:36:49the Earth.
00:36:51America was launched into a
00:36:53race with the Soviets to be
00:36:54the first on the Moon.
00:36:56On February 20, 1962, John
00:36:59Glenn became the first American
00:37:01to orbit the Earth in
00:37:02Friendship 7.
00:37:03Okay.
00:37:05Roger.
00:37:06You ready to go.
00:37:08At least I'm going to have
00:37:09it now.
00:37:10Roger.
00:37:10Zero.
00:37:11J and I.
00:37:11Carpenter did three orbits in
00:37:26May of 62.
00:37:27Hurrah, six.
00:37:29Five months later, Cooper wound
00:37:31up the program with 22 orbits
00:37:33in May 1963.
00:37:35Now, it may be true that this
00:37:44wasn't a spectacular UFO event,
00:37:47but rather an astronaut excited
00:37:50by seeing an unidentified phenomenon
00:37:53for the first time in space
00:37:55history.
00:37:56But we do know that NASA astronauts,
00:38:00as well as the general public,
00:38:01were in awe of this event when it
00:38:04first happened, which is proof enough
00:38:07that mankind is inherently keen and
00:38:12interested in what may be out there
00:38:15in space waiting for us.
00:38:18We didn't know where those things came
00:38:21from.
00:38:22There was some conjecture that there
00:38:24would be some sort of living critters
00:38:26out there at that altitude.
00:38:28Sounds crazy now, but we didn't know a lot
00:38:33of very simple answers in those early days.
00:38:37Now we know.
00:38:39It's really interesting to note the circumstances
00:38:42around the firing of Scott Carpenter
00:38:45as a NASA astronaut.
00:38:47Based on the interviews he did during the 90s
00:38:51regarding his experience with fireflies,
00:38:54one could deduce that NASA was trying to get
00:38:58a tighter control over their astronauts
00:39:01to prevent free will on space missions.
00:39:05You see, the reason that it's used for firing him
00:39:08in the first place was that Scott became
00:39:12too distracted by examining the fireflies,
00:39:15ending with him banging on the outer hall
00:39:19of the capsule in which he claims
00:39:21the fireflies were emanating from.
00:39:24But by doing this firefly research,
00:39:27instead of sticking to his mission checklist,
00:39:31some would say the Apollo program's
00:39:34scripted events, he overshot his reentry
00:39:38because he did not follow his checklist.
00:39:42And he landed very far off target in the ocean.
00:39:47I'm not sure when I ran out of fuel on the entry.
00:39:53It was down low.
00:39:55But what I was able to determine
00:39:57is that Max Faget's design of the blunt reentry body
00:40:03was a good one,
00:40:07and it had sufficient aerodynamic stability
00:40:11to get through the entry without fuel.
00:40:13And that's what Max wanted it to do.
00:40:17I don't want to appear to condemn Scott Carpenter.
00:40:23Scott Carpenter, he's a fine person,
00:40:25but nevertheless, he was not what I considered
00:40:28to be a competent test pilot.
00:40:30And we wanted test pilots there
00:40:32because they might find themselves
00:40:35in a position that he indeed found himself in.
00:40:37And he was very fortunate
00:40:39that he was able to get the spacecraft down
00:40:43without serious trouble.
00:40:45He and I have been on opposite sides
00:40:50of the appraisal of my flight.
00:40:56He thinks it involves the failure of the man,
00:41:01and I think it involves the failure of the machine.
00:41:04And I think there is no meeting between the two of us.
00:41:11The reason for him missing reentry
00:41:13was that he ran out of fuel
00:41:16to properly reorient the craft
00:41:20and maneuver into the atmosphere quicker.
00:41:22And that appears to be a lie.
00:41:25Based on Scott's answer to the fuel problem,
00:41:29he even states that he doesn't recall
00:41:32running out of fuel.
00:41:34Additionally, you can find a recording of Scott's remarks
00:41:38while reentering the atmosphere.
00:41:41This was recorded on a black box type of device,
00:41:45something like the VTR used in the Gemini program.
00:41:48And you can hear in that recording,
00:41:52he says that on his gauges
00:41:54that the fuel was low, not empty.
00:41:58This means that NASA had an answer
00:42:01for why they fired Scott publicly.
00:42:03It was a PR answer.
00:42:06You have to keep in mind,
00:42:07they wanted to make an example out of Scott
00:42:10for focusing way too much time on the fireflies,
00:42:14therefore showing future NASA pilots
00:42:18that they shouldn't make this same mistake
00:42:21or they'll be fired.
00:42:23Scott Carpenter got involved
00:42:24with playing with fireflies,
00:42:26which was that same water I talked about
00:42:27in the environmental control system that cooled you.
00:42:31And it came out as NH2O,
00:42:33one molecule of water,
00:42:34which froze instantaneously into one snowflake,
00:42:37but a very tiny, tiny snowflake.
00:42:39These stuck on the outside of the spacecraft,
00:42:41they drifted around.
00:42:42This is what John called fireflies,
00:42:44this is what Scott got involved with,
00:42:45banging the spacecraft and watching them come off.
00:42:48And as a result, both of them lost sight of the fact
00:42:51they had to have fuel left to fly the mission.
00:42:53What were your expectations?
00:42:55What were your family's expectations of the experience?
00:42:58We were going into the great unknown,
00:43:00to be honest with you.
00:43:02It was a great big unknown.
00:43:04I don't know, I didn't know what to expect.
00:43:07Certainly my wife with two small children
00:43:09didn't know what to expect.
00:43:10But we kind of went there like babes in the wood.
00:43:15Down to 12 Echo, Devil Fox 1.
00:43:19Roger, 12 Echo, Devil Fox 1.
00:43:21Are you still on UHF?
00:43:24Roger, stand by.
00:43:26Down to 12 Echo, Devil Fox 1.
00:43:30Roger, 12 Echo, Devil Fox 1.
00:43:32Nick Houston will not be able to check with you at this time.
00:43:35He's too busy.
00:43:36We'll get you a little later.
00:43:37I got you.
00:43:41During 1965 and 1966,
00:43:45NASA astronauts flew an aggressive series
00:43:48of two-man missions into low Earth orbit
00:43:51in order to gain the experience needed
00:43:54to make the upcoming Apollo program a success.
00:43:59In a mere 20 months,
00:44:0116 astronauts conducted a total of 10 missions
00:44:05in the Gemini spacecraft.
00:44:13All were launched by Titan II launch vehicles.
00:44:17The Gemini UFO incident.
00:44:42I just want to quickly go over
00:44:44some of the photographic proof and evidence
00:44:47directly from the NASA archive.
00:44:49And like always,
00:44:51I will provide the NASA photo gallery ID numbers
00:44:54to every single photograph
00:44:56so you can verify them for yourself.
00:44:58Now, we all know the truth.
00:44:59The simple fact of the matter is
00:45:00NASA has been hiding the truth
00:45:02about this UFO incident since 1966,
00:45:06along with countless other UFO incidents.
00:45:09I believe NASA is slowly drip-feeding the general public
00:45:11the truth about UFOs
00:45:13surrounding these various space programs
00:45:16going all the way back to the 60s
00:45:18and probably even the late 40s post-Roswell.
00:45:21NASA can no longer hide
00:45:23what they have tried so hard
00:45:25to desperately cover up
00:45:26because the evidence and the proof of NASA's secrets
00:45:28has become overwhelming.
00:45:31We've heard witness testimony
00:45:32of former NASA employees coming forward
00:45:34admitting they were paid to edit, crop,
00:45:37and delete any UFO-related photographs
00:45:39from the NASA archives.
00:45:41It is a well-documented fact.
00:45:51My name is Donna Hare
00:45:53and I worked at Philco Ford Aerospace
00:45:57from 1967 to 1981.
00:46:01Most of the time, I worked on site
00:46:03in Building 8.
00:46:06I had the opportunity to do extra work
00:46:09during downtime, which was between missions,
00:46:13and I walked into a photo lab,
00:46:16which was the NASA lab, across the hallway.
00:46:18I had a secret clearance, which is not that high,
00:46:21but I was able to go into restricted areas,
00:46:24which this was.
00:46:26At the time, I was talking to one of the techs in there,
00:46:28and he drew my attention to a photograph,
00:46:31a NASA photograph.
00:46:32It had a dot on it, and I said,
00:46:35what is that?
00:46:35Well, he drew my attention to it,
00:46:37and I said, is that a dot on the emulsion?
00:46:40And he said, and he's smiling,
00:46:42and he has his hands crossed,
00:46:43and he said,
00:46:44round dots on the emulsion
00:46:46don't leave round shadows on the ground.
00:46:48And this was an aerial photograph of the Earth.
00:46:51I'm assuming the Earth,
00:46:53because it had pine trees on it.
00:46:54And the shadows of the craft,
00:46:58or whatever it was,
00:46:59were in the same angle as the trees.
00:47:02And by its very nature, UFO,
00:47:04and I wanted to clarify that
00:47:05to a gentleman that was talking to me,
00:47:07means unidentified.
00:47:08So I did not know what this was.
00:47:11But I realized at this point
00:47:12that it's very secret,
00:47:14that it was kept secret,
00:47:15because I asked him,
00:47:17what are you going to do
00:47:18with this piece of information?
00:47:20And he said,
00:47:20we always airbrush these out
00:47:22before we sell them to the public.
00:47:38The first two Gemini missions
00:47:41were flown without crews
00:47:45to test systems and the heat shield.
00:47:58The powers that be
00:47:59finally decided on flight systems.
00:48:02And I guess one of the things
00:48:03that they were thinking of
00:48:04was that astronauts
00:48:06should talk to astronauts.
00:48:07So all of you
00:48:09took up different positions
00:48:10along the line.
00:48:11Can you describe how that functioned,
00:48:13how it worked,
00:48:14when actually
00:48:15the first flights began?
00:48:17Well, this made a lot of sense
00:48:19because since we'd been
00:48:20training together,
00:48:22we were certainly
00:48:22the most experienced
00:48:23on all the different systems
00:48:25and the astronaut system interface.
00:48:29So putting the rest of us in,
00:48:33when one made a flight,
00:48:34putting the rest of us
00:48:35in key positions around the world
00:48:36really made a lot of sense
00:48:37because we knew
00:48:39what that astronaut
00:48:41making the flight
00:48:42was going through
00:48:43and what he was
00:48:45and knew the systems
00:48:46and knew the cockpit
00:48:47and knew all the switches
00:48:50and everything better
00:48:52than anybody else.
00:49:02Gemini 3 was the first crewed mission
00:49:05in NASA's Project Gemini
00:49:07and was the first time
00:49:15two American astronauts
00:49:17flew together into space.
00:49:20Now, one of the major mission goals
00:49:31for our astronauts in space
00:49:33was to take pictures.
00:49:35As simple as that sounds,
00:49:37that's the simple truth.
00:49:39Astronauts had to be trained
00:49:40how to use
00:49:41a Hasselblad photo camera
00:49:43and a motion picture DAC camera
00:49:45to capture as much visual data
00:49:47as possible out there in space.
00:49:50Now, some of those pictures
00:49:51have made their way
00:49:52into the public,
00:49:53either by NASA publishing them themselves
00:49:55or in certain circumstances,
00:49:57some of those photos
00:49:58being leaked
00:49:59by other institutions
00:50:00linked to NASA.
00:50:02Now, unfortunately,
00:50:03due to the classified nature
00:50:04of some photos or film
00:50:06that would have been taken in space,
00:50:08NASA has declared
00:50:09some of their records
00:50:10to be lost or destroyed.
00:50:13Now, the public
00:50:14in the early days of space travel
00:50:15were very naive to this.
00:50:17However, UFO and space researchers
00:50:19have constantly gone over the records
00:50:21to find anything
00:50:22that may be deemed anomalous.
00:50:24We talked about getting a good camera
00:50:25and we looked at the Hasselblad
00:50:27and I finally got a Hasselblad camera.
00:50:30But before I got it,
00:50:31I talked to Ralph Morse
00:50:32and Carl Midens of Life magazine.
00:50:35What's the best camera?
00:50:36Hasselblad.
00:50:37Really?
00:50:38All four of you agree?
00:50:39These were individual interviews,
00:50:41really.
00:50:42But for this,
00:50:43but for that.
00:50:44We took all the Buttfors out
00:50:45and made a perfect Hasselblad
00:50:47at the Cape.
00:50:48That was when Pan Am
00:50:51had the laboratory down there
00:50:52and Pan Am people
00:50:53made all these modifications.
00:50:56Victor Hasselblad
00:50:57came out with Hasselblad 500C,
00:50:59which was our version,
00:51:00after we made those changes.
00:51:02We got some good pictures.
00:51:03I think I could have taken better pictures,
00:51:06but I was too busy doing other things.
00:51:37On Gemini 4, Ed White became the first American to make an Extravehicular Activity, EVA, or Spacewalk, on June 3, 1965.
00:52:07Mounted next to the pilot's seat, on the right side of the spacecraft, the VTR was used by the astronauts to verbally document many visual observations they made during each flight.
00:52:27Although originally classified, the VTR transcripts for all 10 Gemini missions can be today found in the NASA archives.
00:53:24General McDivitt, have you ever seen a UFO?
00:53:40Yes. During my flight on Gemini 4 in 1965, I saw an object in space, fairly close to our spacecraft, that I could not identify.
00:53:51It looked to me like maybe the upper stage of another rocket.
00:53:55I tried to take some pictures of it, but unfortunately the pictures did not come out properly.
00:53:59We never were able to identify what it was, and all of our ground radar tracking data indicated that there shouldn't have been another object anywhere near us at the time.
00:54:08The next day, McDivitt again discusses.
00:54:12Huh?
00:54:28I don't mean the number one, I mean the number, God helps you as part of now.
00:56:04We are a very visual species.
00:56:12This is how we learn about our universe around us, and therefore it makes sense for all space
00:56:20missions to be highly outfitted with camera, motion picture technology that the astronauts
00:56:27will use to capture this visual data.
00:56:32Gemini 5, August 21st to 29th, 1965, demonstrated the eight-day endurance necessary for an Apollo
00:56:51lunar mission, with the first use of fuel cells to generate its electric power.
00:57:39Now, due to the fact that NASA reported many mission photos or mission picture archives
00:58:00as lost or destroyed, the public would have been completely in the dark about any strange
00:58:06UFO events that happened up there, had it not been for the declassification of these incredible
00:58:10VTR transcript documents.
00:58:12And furthermore, after that declassification, we wouldn't know what we'd do today without
00:58:16all the hard work that had been done by NASA researchers like Luna Cognita.
00:58:21When things went wrong with hooking up with Wally Shiraz part of that, that part of your mission
00:58:41and hooking up with 6A, and, you know, and that mission was juggled around, and changes were suggested,
00:58:49and you played a role in deciding what was finally going to happen.
00:58:52Walk us through that.
00:58:53Well, we were down at the Cape for the launch of Gemini 6, and the Agena went off, and everybody
00:58:58thought they had a good target vehicle.
00:59:01Well, it turns out it blew up after it was out of sight.
00:59:05But in any event, before we walked out of that block house, John Yardley and Chris Kraft
00:59:11and some other, we're already starting, how can we use Gemini 7 as a target vehicle?
00:59:17Gemini 6A accomplished the first space rendezvous with its sister craft, Gemini 7, in December
00:59:261965, with Gemini 7 setting a 14-day endurance record for its flight.
00:59:40Gemini 7, with Gemini 7 setting a 14-day endurance record for its flight.
00:59:54Gemini 7, with�
01:00:14we had a lot of interesting things and some of the doctors says oh well in order to do that you're
01:00:36going to have to simulate it on earth and see if you can stay in one and one g for 14 days
01:00:40and I you know they're out of their mind 14 days sitting in a straight-up ejection seat on earth
01:00:47you're crazy and so I was able NASA at that time listened to the crew members were in the areas
01:00:53so we were able to get that nonsense kicked out in a hurry and then we just went about our business
01:00:58doing the best we could so they wanted you all to what simulate yeah two weeks and one g come on
01:01:04give me a break that didn't last with no bathroom breaks or anything no no just in one g just I
01:01:10don't think you could do that just you and Jim Lovell during the late 1990s NASA collaborated with
01:01:16C-SPAN to do a retired astronaut interview campaign this was an excellent time to hear from our early
01:01:26astronauts some of the nuances of their missions and details that maybe people didn't understand
01:01:32in the public not surprisingly though every time these astronauts were interviewed there was
01:01:40time taken to debunk any UFO related rumors
01:01:44Gemini 7 spacecraft was the passive target for the first crewed space rendezvous performed by the crew of Gemini 6A
01:02:04pilot James A. Lovell command pilot Frank F. Borma
01:02:19the crew of Gemini 7 Ak Maddy
01:02:24Mac F. Borma
01:02:49Bogey, at any call point.
01:02:51Roger.
01:03:02Gemini Control here again.
01:03:04The reference to that conversation was Bogey.
01:03:10It was a correspondent who reported sighting the Bogey.
01:03:13And this is Gemini Control in Houston at four hours, 24 minutes into the flight.
01:03:21This interview seems suspicious to some who will listen to and observe Frank's reaction,
01:03:26followed by his awkward answer in which he delivers.
01:03:29You know, an interesting fact to add to all of this is that many astronauts,
01:03:32including the Apollo mission's Dr. Edgar Mitchell,
01:03:35were mysteriously attracted to the Roswell, New Mexico area in their later days.
01:03:40Were there any other things from your Gemini mission that,
01:03:43and they specifically want you to tell maybe things that weren't in your book, Countdown?
01:03:47Any stories that you've...
01:03:50No.
01:03:51The interesting thing, one of the interesting things was flying formation with the second stage
01:03:58that put us into orbit and using an infrared sensor to track that.
01:04:04We refer to it as a bogey all the time, which is natural, normal parlance.
01:04:09And when we got back, True Magazine wrote a big story about how we'd been tracking a UFO
01:04:14and all that nonsense.
01:04:16So I've been plagued with that ever since.
01:04:18People say, well, if you go into UFO circles today, they'll still tell you,
01:04:21well, we saw a UFO, which is foolish.
01:04:24And look where you moved.
01:04:25I'm sorry?
01:04:26Look where you moved.
01:04:26UFO country.
01:04:28That's right.
01:04:29Over here in...
01:04:29I know.
01:04:30Over here in Roswell.
01:04:31That's right.
01:04:32It's important to be clear that not everything that was photographed or discussed in Earth orbit
01:04:54by the Gemini astronauts was a credible UFO.
01:04:58Some things were most definitely space debris, possibly ice,
01:05:03and of course, NASA's own equipment like the Agena craft.
01:05:09Skepticism is important when it comes to finding the greatest truth.
01:05:14Gemini 8 achieved the first space docking with an unmanned Agena target vehicle.
01:05:21Pilot David R. Scott
01:05:38Command Pilot Neil A. Armstrong
01:05:42In Gemini 9, the Augmented Target Docking Adapter, or ATDA's deck, only partially opened,
01:06:06so the Gemini spacecraft was unable to perform the docking.
01:06:10Nevertheless, Stafford and Siernan performed several approach maneuvers with the ATDA,
01:06:18including simulating the rescue of a lunar module in low Earth orbit.
01:06:26Command Pilot Thomas Stafford
01:06:29Pilot Eugene A. Siernan
01:06:33Gemini 10 established that radiation at high altitude was not a problem,
01:06:51further demonstrated the ability to rendezvous with a passive object,
01:06:56and was the first Gemini mission to fire the Agena's own rocket.
01:07:03Michael Collins would be the first person to meet another spacecraft in orbit
01:07:08during his second successful EVA.
01:07:11Command Pilot John W. Young
01:07:15and Pilot Michael Collins
01:07:17Of course.
01:07:19K companies
01:07:19In a total space for Germany
01:07:22In a total space for Germany
01:07:23I wanted to make sure wonderful things
01:07:25Look at us to see or see or see if the other moon was on само
01:07:31I wanted to make sure that our life was on a stage.
01:07:35Or realised to us know this
01:07:35We were born alongside the unknown.
01:07:37That was case, and true?
01:07:39I wanted to arrest the unknown, and true?
01:07:41If there were chemicalии that did not expect theイ traced,
01:07:42and known him separately.
01:07:43And espero, like, way, we selected a Russian state,
01:07:44and should welcome theύ wraps toward thelington Earth.
01:09:16So NASA's in the mix here.
01:09:27NASA has, you know, it's known as a allegedly civilian organization, but it's never been a pure civilian oriented organization.
01:09:38We all know this, right?
01:09:39So they've had military connections throughout their history.
01:09:43And when you are engaged in any capacity with the U.S. military, a lot of those missions were not, you know, the public wasn't told that they're classified missions.
01:09:53Of course they're not told that because they're classified.
01:09:55And so, but that means that they are bound by those very same classifications and secrecy protocols that anyone in the military is.
01:10:06And that includes the connection with UFOs.
01:10:10Gemini 11 first direct ascent first orbit rendezvous with an Agena target vehicle.
01:10:24Docking with it one hour, 34 minutes after launch.
01:10:30Set a crewed Earth orbital altitude record of 739.2 nautical miles or 1,369 kilometers in September 1966.
01:10:42Using the Agena target vehicle's propulsion system, this record still stands as of 2020.
01:10:51Agena target vehicle's propulsion system, this record still stands as of 2020.
01:11:21Gemini 11, 1966, September 12th to September 15th.
01:11:48Pete Conrad and Gordon performed the first direct ascent rendezvous with the Agena target vehicle.
01:11:55However, aside from this amazing feat by NASA, and it was an incredible feat by NASA,
01:12:01they encountered something that simply could not be explained.
01:12:04And to make things better, Pete Conrad was able to get photographs that have now been declassified.
01:12:10Many of you out there already know the Gemini program was littered with UFO sightings, unexplainable anomalies,
01:12:17classified voice recordings, photographic evidence, videos, transcripts, secrecy, the list goes on and on and on.
01:12:24Now, over the years, we've been able to piece together this mysterious puzzle left behind by NASA.
01:12:31It's a well-documented fact that anyone assigned to these programs,
01:12:35that they know more than they're willing to tell the general public.
01:12:38I believe they are fearful of ridicule by NASA or losing future opportunities in the space program.
01:12:43And, again, this is a well-documented fact.
01:12:58And, by comparison, this is a stark, dramatic contrast to the recent comments
01:13:04given by one of the highest-ranking people at NASA, Bill Nelson,
01:13:08where he goes on to say he believes we are not alone.
01:13:11He believes there is life outside of our planet.
01:13:13He also talks about closed-door meetings with the men and women involved in the USS Nimitz.
01:13:19So, do I think there's life out there? Yes.
01:13:22Yes.
01:13:25I cannot limit this universe to be just here.
01:13:29Larry, before we leave, I hadn't even talked about the search for extraterrestrial life.
01:13:36For extraterrestrial life, for life in this universe.
01:13:43First of all, we're looking for life right now.
01:13:46What do you think we're doing on Mars?
01:13:50What do you think we're looking for life?
01:13:53This is a part of NASA's mission.
01:13:56That's what this telescope is going to be looking for.
01:14:01Are there other planets elsewhere that there is life?
01:14:07Now, I know what you've seen is what those Navy pilots saw in 2004,
01:14:12and there have been some 300 sightings since then.
01:14:16And I've talked to those pilots, and they know they saw something,
01:14:21and their radar's locked onto it.
01:14:23And then all of a sudden, it was here on the surface, and then it's there.
01:14:29Okay, now that we've heard from Bill Nelson, again, the highest-ranking member of NASA,
01:14:34let's go back to 1966.
01:14:37Pete Conrad sends NASA a radio transmission that can be found on page 106
01:14:42of the official NASA voice transcript.
01:14:44He goes on to say, quote,
01:14:47And another very important detail,
01:14:55this sighting was also later analyzed in the Condon report,
01:14:59but ultimately labeled as simply being the Proton 3 satellite.
01:15:03NASA has never given any explanation to the UFO sighting.
01:15:07The only agency to step forward with any type of answer was, of all people, NORAD.
01:15:12And they simply dismissed this UFO sighting as the Proton 3 satellite
01:15:16that was nearly 3,000 miles away around the curvature of the Earth,
01:15:20and it would have been literally impossible for Conrad to see this from his spacecraft.
01:15:25Even our modern-day cameras equipped on the ISS
01:15:28are incapable of filming something that far away.
01:15:32And it also needs to be noted that a large part of that Condon report
01:15:36was mysteriously missing the UFO encounter.
01:15:39In fact, the entire UFO incident was removed from the Condon report.
01:15:44So what were they hiding?
01:15:45We know what they were hiding.
01:15:47But through the Freedom of Information Act,
01:15:49we now have the complete copy of that transcript and the Condon report.
01:15:54And based on this report, it is clear as day,
01:15:57NASA has been hiding the truth about this UFO sighting from the public since 1966.
01:16:02We now have high-res photographs from the Gemini NASA archives
01:16:07and the Arizona State University School of Earth and Space,
01:16:10along with the corresponding ID numbers provided by NASA.
01:16:14And in these photographs, we can clearly see there is something there
01:16:18that simply should not be there.
01:16:20And it's definitely not the Proton 3 satellite.
01:16:24One thing I would like to add is this iconic photo taken during Gemini 10
01:16:30by John Young and Michael Collins, 1966.
01:16:33This photo is believed to be some type of UFO orbiting Earth,
01:16:37but I believe this is the Gemini Agena target vehicle
01:16:41and the sun is simply reflecting off the side.
01:16:44If you look at the other photos in the NASA Gallery series,
01:16:47and that's how they categorize them,
01:16:48you can clearly see this is most likely the Agena target vehicle.
01:16:53So I always try to debunk any of these UFO sightings first
01:16:56before I bring them to the public.
01:16:58But as always, you guys decide.
01:17:01And as far as I know, this one here,
01:17:02this is the only photograph of the cylinder UFO Conrad reported in the NASA transcripts
01:17:09and has openly talked about to the public after he left NASA.
01:17:13And I was also able to find this really quick video clip
01:17:16that is believed to be taken by Conrad of this cylinder UFO.
01:17:46So I'll see you next time.
01:18:16And of course, one of the most well-known and famous photographs from the Gemini program
01:18:37is this one right here.
01:18:39And we can clearly see what appears to be two UFOs monitoring the NASA Gemini spacecraft
01:18:43and to this day, I've never seen or never heard of anyone that was able to debunk it.
01:18:52So in closing, like all of you out there, I simply want to know, are we alone in this
01:18:57enormous universe?
01:18:59Is there life outside of our planet?
01:19:01What is our government hiding?
01:19:02What is NASA hiding?
01:19:04Where did we come from?
01:19:05Where are we going?
01:19:06How did we get here?
01:19:07These are universal curiosities and we simply want the truth.
01:19:11We have been innocent on this planet.
01:19:14And the UFO phenomena is real, although it's been covered up by our governments for quite
01:19:18a long time.
01:19:19It is a real phenomena.
01:19:21And there's quite a few of us.
01:19:24It's been well covered up by all of our governments for the last 60 years.
01:19:29The only problem that we have with our early space missions is that at that time, our astronauts
01:19:34were very loyal, obedient, and therefore tight-lipped about what was really observed up there.
01:19:40We've also added to the problem that NASA's de facto answer to any anomalous UFO events
01:19:45which occurred has always been that it was nothing, ice, space debris, or satellites,
01:19:52or something alike.
01:19:53During the same year in which the X-15 missions were underway, NASA and the Brookings Institution
01:19:59commissioned a report titled, The Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities
01:20:06for Human Affairs.
01:20:08The report is made most famous for its section titled, The Implications of a Discovery of
01:20:15Extraterrestrial Life.
01:20:16This section examines the potential implications of such a discovery, most notably that some
01:20:22information should be withheld from the public.
01:20:25Examples include a controlled thermonuclear fusion rocket power source and face-to-face meetings
01:20:34with extraterrestrials.
01:20:36If the early space age has heralded so many UFO encounters in space that have been well-documented
01:20:43over the years, and recently by the CIA's very own UFO document released in 2020, well, you
01:20:54can imagine.
01:20:56What did the astronauts see in space during the Apollo-manned missions?
