1
00:00:05,930 --> 00:00:04,010
time that I saw it I said there was

2
00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:05,940
something in front of me that I were

3
00:00:09,710 --> 00:00:07,500
outside the spacecraft that I couldn't

4
00:00:11,270 --> 00:00:09,720
identify and I never have been able to

5
00:00:14,930 --> 00:00:11,280
identify and I don't think anybody ever

6
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:14,940
will we were in drifting flights and my

7
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,039
partner and like was asleep

8
00:00:21,290 --> 00:00:19,680
the spacecraft had all a flight control

9
00:00:22,910 --> 00:00:21,300
system turned off and almost all the

10
00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:22,920
electrical equipment turned off except

11
00:00:28,189 --> 00:00:25,680
the radio spacecraft was drifting around

12
00:00:29,689 --> 00:00:28,199
and I couldn't tell I still don't know

13
00:00:31,370 --> 00:00:29,699
which direction was pointing it wasn't

14
00:00:32,690 --> 00:00:31,380
pointing towards Earth but I couldn't

15
00:00:35,389 --> 00:00:32,700
see anything out in front of me except

16
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:35,399
just the black sky and as it was

17
00:00:40,010 --> 00:00:37,500
rotating around I noticed something out

18
00:00:42,110 --> 00:00:40,020
in front that was a a white cylindrical

19
00:00:44,510 --> 00:00:42,120
shape with a white

20
00:00:46,250 --> 00:00:44,520
hole sticking out of one corner of it it

21
00:00:48,889 --> 00:00:46,260
had about the same

22
00:00:51,950 --> 00:00:48,899
dimensional relationship as a beer can

23
00:00:53,869 --> 00:00:51,960
with a with a smooth pencil sticking out

24
00:00:55,850 --> 00:00:53,879
one corner of it

25
00:00:58,490 --> 00:00:55,860
I couldn't tell how close it was and I

26
00:01:01,670 --> 00:00:58,500
couldn't tell what the size was that

27
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:01,680
perception in space is uh not very good

28
00:01:04,729 --> 00:01:03,000
unless you know what the size of the

29
00:01:06,830 --> 00:01:04,739
object is that you're looking at I

30
00:01:08,510 --> 00:01:06,840
thought I might

31
00:01:10,130 --> 00:01:08,520
run into it so I turned on the flight

32
00:01:12,850 --> 00:01:10,140
control system it takes a while for the

33
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:12,860
electronics to warm up and

34
00:01:17,330 --> 00:01:15,840
in the meantime I grabbed two cameras

35
00:01:20,030 --> 00:01:17,340
which were floating in the spacecraft

36
00:01:21,649 --> 00:01:20,040
and I grabbed one and took a picture and

37
00:01:24,830 --> 00:01:21,659
I let go of it and I grabbed the other

38
00:01:25,969 --> 00:01:24,840
one took a picture uh as the sun's

39
00:01:28,550 --> 00:01:25,979
chilling on the window I can no longer

40
00:01:30,310 --> 00:01:28,560
see out and the thing just disappeared I

41
00:01:33,410 --> 00:01:30,320
never did find out what it was and

42
00:01:35,510 --> 00:01:33,420
nobody else ever did either they checked

43
00:01:37,190 --> 00:01:35,520
the NORAD records to see what they had

44
00:01:39,770 --> 00:01:37,200
up on the radar and there wasn't

45
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:39,780
anything within a very close range of

46
00:01:45,530 --> 00:01:42,780
this after we landed in the in the

47
00:01:47,210 --> 00:01:45,540
Atlantic Ocean the films were flown back

48
00:01:48,890 --> 00:01:47,220
to Houston I've seen the photos that

49
00:01:49,850 --> 00:01:48,900
were released I've seen them published

50
00:01:55,010 --> 00:01:49,860
in

51
00:01:56,569 --> 00:01:55,020
back and went through each frame of all

52
00:01:58,249 --> 00:01:56,579
of the pictures that we took after the
