My dad tells of sitting around a campfire late one night during the Apollo 12 training days and hearing Pete Conrad talk about when he was testing some new airplane and the base he was flying out of had to shut down because something no-one had ever seen landed on the end of the runway.
Comments like yours are why I love FR. Personal recollections of unknown historical events and different angles on history from personal experience.
My dad has one from his best friend at the time about the cover up in the Kennedy assassination.
