Yes, I just found a website, www.syti.net/UFOsightings.html that lists the astronauts and their experiences with UFO’s. Having sighted a UFO in my own back yard a few years ago, I was interested in knowing what the astronauts knew. My late brother-in-law also had an encounter with a UFO as a pilot in the Strategic Air Command in the 50s. Fascinating reading.

My father was with the Army’s Nike air defense program from ‘59-’74. Before he died he told me they had missiles up (i.e. ready for launch) at least once for UFOs. It may not sound significant, but it actually was. Dad told me that he could count the number of times that they raised the missiles outside of a drill on one hand. The missiles had nuclear warheads, so it was deadly serious business. Dad didn’t believe in much of anything, but he was fairly sure about UFOs.
