WASHINGTON DC – NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper claimed the US government knew about UFOs and was covering up its alien knowledge for decades right up until his death.
He was the youngest member of Project Mercury, the first human spaceflight program which achieved its goal of putting a man into Earth orbit and returning him safely.
Following his NASA career, the aerospace engineer and test pilot made it his mission to expose the government’s knowledge about extra-terrestrial life.
“I keep hearing these stories from credible sources inside the government and they just won’t go away,” he told The Washington Post in 1978.
“I can’t tell you the names of these sources but they’re credible and frankly I think the government should release the information these sources have, no matter what the White House thinks.”
Speaking at a United Nations panel in 1985, Cooper claimed he was sworn to secrecy while working for NASA.
“For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy imposed on all specialists and astronauts,” he said.
“I can now reveal that every day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and composition unknown to us.”
