Declassified UFO file: Walter Cronkite interview with NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper
On June 12, the Pentagon released a third set of declassified files on what NASA calls Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), commonly referred to as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). One of the files released is an audio excerpt from a November 1962 interview journalist Walter Cronkite conducted with NASA astronaut Gordon Cooper. In the interview, Cronkite asks Cooper about his views regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Cooper replies that “a large number of exceptionally well-qualified people have seen objects” without a “logical explanation.” He also speculates on the existence of other planets with atmospheres similar to Earth and maybe there are “some type of human life” out there.
