Full Record Description
NASA-UAP-D023 is an official NASA source record from war.gov/ufo Release 03 titled “NASA-UAP-D023, Interview Excerpt with Astronaut Gordon Cooper, 1962.” The primary source record is NASA-UAP-D023, an official NASA audio record titled “NASA-UAP-D023, Interview Excerpt with Astronaut Gordon Cooper, 1962.” In November 1962, journalist Walter Cronkite interviewed astronaut Gordon Cooper. In this excerpt from that interview, Cronkite asks Cooper about his views regarding the nature of unidentified flying objects, having previously expressed an interest in the subject. Cooper opines that “a large number of exceptionally well-qualified people have seen objects” without a “logical explanation” and speculates on the existence of other planets with “a livable atmosphere” and that maybe there are “some type of human life” out there. Interview was conducted in November 1962. No linked report row was matched in the current source-context data. The available context for this item comes from the audio excerpt. No separate caution note was provided in the source-context data. The item is an interview excerpt containing personal opinion and speculation by the interviewee, so it should be presented as historical audio context rather than as factual determination.
