Anita Mitchell shared insights from her late husband, astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who believed in the existence of UFOs, influenced by accounts from numerous spaceflight colleagues. He recounted how fellow astronauts during early missions, including James McDivitt and Leroy Gordon Cooper, reported encounters with unidentified flying objects. Cooper claimed to have seen a craft moving at incredible speeds that American pilots could not catch. Mrs. Mitchell, who chronicled these revelations in her new book, highlights the need for transparency regarding UFO phenomena, reflecting on social perceptions of astronauts during their era.
"He always felt that there were UFOs out there, because so many of the pilots and astronauts had seen something," said Anita Mitchell about her late husband.
Mrs. Mitchell described how during one dinner party, astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr. shared an experience, stating, 'Listen, we have nothing that goes that fast and goes that high.'
