A retired NASA flight surgeon said he saw footage of a 20-foot-wide flying saucer emblazoned with the US Air Force logo performing deft maneuvers in a military hangar more than 30 years ago, according to a report.
Dr. Gregory Rogers, former NASA Chief Flight Surgeon and Air Force Major, came forth with his testimony on the 1992 event after a recent uptick in whistleblowers in the military community on the secretive projects investigating, recovering — and perhaps crafting — anomalous flying objects, according to the Daily Mail.
“I know exactly what I saw that day, and it was in no fashion a conventional flying vehicle,” Rogers, 68, told the Mail.
The space doc relayed that he was stationed at Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1992, conducting an inspection when an Air Force major approached him in a hallway and offered to show him something that would “knock his socks off,” according to the report.
Rogers was then taken into a room, where the major shut the blinds and locked the door before pulling up CCTV footage that showed a white flying saucer purportedly owned and operated by the US Air Force utilizing unknown engineering, he said.
“There’s a flying saucer,” Rogers said.
He added that a massive emblem on the saucer “said ‘US Air Force,’ and it had the US flying insignia.”
“I’m thinking, ‘this is ours?’” he said in disbelief.
“I would estimate it was about 20 feet wide, probably 8 to 10 feet tall, and it had a shallow dome on top of it.”
“There were no antennas, there were no flight control surfaces. Everything was very smooth and blended. I saw no rivets, no seams — nothing,” Rogers said, adding that a tube seemed to be temporarily connected to the dome’s apex, which he guessed provided fuel to the machine.
“Everything was white, but there was a vertical black rectangle at the three o’clock, the six o’clock, and the nine o’clock position on the upper half of the vehicle,” Rogers said.
The NASA medical doctor said several men — some decked out in hazmat suits and others in lab coats — stood around and observed the saucer.
Those men scattered when a horn sounded in the hangar — and then fireworks started, Rogers said.
“I hear and see these things that look like electromagnetic charges coming off this vehicle. But there’s no devices from which they’re emanating,” he told the Mail.
“All of a sudden it just lifted up, as smooth as could be,” he said. “Once it got up maybe 3 feet above the concrete surface, it rotated completely around, clockwise, one revolution, then it revolved counterclockwise, one revolution.”
Rogers, at a loss, turned to the Air Force major for an explanation as to why the US Air Force supposedly created the vehicle.
“We got it from them,” Rogers claimed the major said, pointing his thumb up to the sky, according to the report.
The NASA doc said he was sworn to secrecy and didn’t even reveal the events of the day to his wife for 15 years, the report stated.
He further expressed anger at the “wimpy” Air Force major who roped him into compromising knowledge just to appear “important,” according to the Daily Mail.
He further claimed that astronauts had described seeing a similar saucer first-hand in conversations with him.
“Astronauts have discussed UAPs with me,” he told the Daily Mail. “Vehicles that were not part of the human space program, as far as we know, being in near location to the spacecraft.”
“Even flying in formation with them is not uncommon. They’ve seen these things,” Rogers said of NASA astronauts, adding that professional stigma prevents them from coming forward with their knowledge.
Dr. Rogers worked for more than two decades in the US Department of Defense, including as Chief of Aerospace Medicine at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, where he was a key part of manned and unmanned space launches.
He currently sits on the board of directors for the International UFO Bureau.
