An astronaut aboard the Gemini 7 space mission more than 60 years ago reported seeing a “bogey” unidentified object that looked like the “path of a vehicle,” according to files released by the Pentagon Friday.
NASA astronaut Frank Borman detailed the rare sighting to mission control, and his observations were recorded in a transcript made public for the first time.
“We have a bogey at 10 o’clock,” Borman radioed, according to the transcript.
“We have debris up here. This is an actual sighting.”
“We have very, very many, ah — it looks like hundreds of little particles going by to the left out about three or four miles,” Borman continued.
“It looks like a path of the vehicle at 90 degrees.”
The Department of War unveiled its new website dedicated to UFO files, releasing an initial cache of 162 documents in response to a February executive order by President Trump.
“The American people can now access the federal government’s declassified UAP files instantly. The latest UAP videos, photos, and original source documents from across the entire United States government are all in one place – no clearance required,” the Pentagon said in a post on X broadcasting the file dump.
“While past administrations sought to discredit or dissuade the American people, President Trump is focused on providing maximum transparency to the public, who can ultimately make up their own minds about the information contained in these files.”
The Pentagon has already been working on declassifying documents related to UFOs for years, with Congress creating an office in 2022 to process and release material.
