Read his book. Gordo didn't "speculate." He wrote clearly and firmly that through his personal experience, he had concluded that a) the craft were certainly NOT of earthly origin and b) the government was certainly engaging in a massive cover-up.

"Speculation" had about as much to do with it as catfood has to do with parasailing.

Okay, just got off the phone with my pop.

Edgar Mitchell has been into Uri Geller and ESP and spoon bending since he entered the program. He conducted ESP experiments while flying Apollo 14. Shepard was pissed when he found out. The operational word was, “Goofy.”

Gordo saw a UFO while flying F-100s over Germany before he even entered the program. My dad said, “Hell, when you fly jets who doesn’t eventually see a UFO?”

I asked him about the photo that Gordo captured while on a military installation of a disk with three legs (I went and looked at his wiki entry). Dad said, “Well, hell, he was on a military installation.”

He also reminded me that Gemini XI was also recorded as seeing a UFO, but he said he knew exactly what it was. It was the booster of a Russian Proton rocket.

We talked about the slur panels (fairings) that come off when you remove the LEM from the third stage of the Saturn V. As they were following along, Pete said, “Hey! Some thing is following us!” Just then Pete said, “Oh shit! I probably shouldn’t have said that!”

LOL!

Oh, one more thing. I also asked him if any other astronauts believed we were being visited. He laughed and said, “No, just those two.”
