On May 3, 1957, astronaut Gordon Cooper had a remarkable UFO encounter at Edwards Air Force Base in California. During his time there, Cooper was overseeing a film crew tasked with installing precision landing systems. On that particular day, the crew noticed a strange, metallic, saucer-shaped object descending and landing in a dry lakebed near the base.
The object was described as shiny, silver, and smooth, with a diameter of about 30 feet. It appeared otherworldly, leading the crew to believe it was an alien craft. Cooper quickly ordered the crew to capture the event on film, providing visual documentation of the encounter.
Following standard protocol, Cooper reported the incident and sent the developed film to higher authorities in Washington, D.C. However, to his astonishment, the footage mysteriously disappeared, and he never received any feedback or explanation about the film's whereabouts.
This incident, coupled with his other UFO sightings, reinforced Cooper's belief in the existence of extraterrestrial life and the need for greater transparency regarding UFO encounters.
