NASA Astronaut UAP Encounters & Testimony

Multiple NASA astronauts — the most highly trained observers in human history — have reported UAP encounters or made public statements confirming non-human intelligence. Gordon Cooper witnessed a disc-shaped craft landing at Edwards Air Force Base in 1957; the film crew captured it on camera before the footage was confiscated. Cooper wrote to the United Nations in 1978 calling for international cooperation on ET contact. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the Moon (Apollo 14), stated publicly that he had been briefed by military insiders confirming the Roswell crash was real and that the US government possesses recovered craft and biologics. He said: 'I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet.' Buzz Aldrin described an anomalous object that tracked Apollo 11 during its lunar transit. Scott Carpenter (Mercury) reported photographing a UAP during his orbital flight. Story Musgrave described seeing objects during his six shuttle missions. The astronaut testimony thread is devastating to the debunking position because these witnesses cannot be dismissed as untrained observers, attention-seekers, or crackpots — they are the most vetted, psychologically screened, technically skilled observers ever produced by any nation.
