Gemini 5 Astronaut for NASA, Gordon Cooper claimed to be involved in multiple ufo incidents. He said in 1951, while flying for the US Air Force in Europe, Cooper and other pilots witnessed hundreds of unidentified flying objects at high altitudes; the incident was dismissed as high-flying seed pods despite their report. In 1957, at Edward’s Air Force Base, Cooper’s camera crew filmed a saucer-shaped object landing and swiftly departing, with the film sent to Washington. Later, Cooper approached the United Nations to propose a committee to investigate the UFO phenomenon and that governments may be withholding this information due to their technological superiority.
