00:03Gordo, you expressed interest at one time in
00:08unidentified flying objects, the feeling that there
00:11might be something to all these stories. Do you still feel that way?
00:17Well, I feel that there have been a large number
00:20of fairly well qualified, or exceptionally well qualified I should say,
00:24people who have seen objects that have not
00:29had any really logical explanation other than this.
00:33I think that maybe in fact each and every one of them does have an explanation.
00:40But I think that there are so many possibilities, so many thousands of
00:45possibilities of other planets out somewhere in the universe that would
00:48have a livable atmosphere that I would hate to rule out the possibility that
00:55maybe there are people or some type of human life on some of these.
01:00And if this is the case, then it's not too unfeasible to think that perhaps
01:06some of these objects might have been something of this type.
01:10You don't think that the comparatively short step out into space that the
01:16Mercury flight will take you on is far enough out to make any observations in this area?
01:23No, I think we're still at a fairly low order of getting out into space.
01:29When you regard...when you speak of space and being millions of miles involved,
01:36we're only getting out a hundred miles or so.
01:39What about the so-called Glenn effect, Gordo?
01:42You know, the snowflakes, the fireflies, now both Shira and Carpenter seem to feel that it's frost of
01:51some nature off of the capsule, but apparently Glenn still sort of cast doubt on that theory.
01:59...I think it's a very interesting part of the time in this area.
02:00Thank you very much.
02:00Thank you, Mike.
02:00Thank you very much.
02:00Thank you very much.
