NASA-UAP-D3, Gemini 7 Transcript, 1965

Gemini 7 was the tenth crewed American spaceflight. This document is a transcript of communications between the flight crew, Astronauts James “Jim” Lovell and Frank Borman, and the Manned Flight Center (now known as Johnson Space Center) in Houston, Texas. The transcript begins with Borman’s report of a “bogey,” contemporary nomenclature for an unknown aircraft, as well as a debris field. Borman described the debris field as consisting of “very, very many […] hundreds of little particles.” He estimated the particles’ distance from the spacecraft to be four miles. Lovell described observing a “brilliant body in the sun against a black background with trillions of particles on it.” This document also includes handwritten notes documenting the encounter, annotated with the phrase “UFO Sighting by Borman” in the top right corner.

Being Talked About

@InterstellarUAPInterstellar
Disclosure of the UFO / UAP Phenomena. Discovering the true nature of reality

Why we surfaced this:Post quotes verbatim transcript and audio from the exact NASA Gemini VII file released in the war.gov PURSUE batch

The Incredible NASA Gemini VII UFO 'Bogey" Audio & Transcript which was classified for 61 years. 🛸🇺🇸 Gemini VII commander Frank Borman radioed mission control this chilling report on December 5, 1965, while orbiting Earth with Jim Lovell. **Full audio transcript:** Houston: This is Houston. Say again, 7? Is that the booster or an actual sighting? Borman: I said, we got a bogey at ten o'clock high. Houston: Say again seven. Borman: Looks like hundreds of little particles flying by on the left. Houston: I understand you have many small particles going by on the left at what distance? Borman: Four miles. Roger, it looks like a box with a handle that’s disintegrated. Houston: Roger, I understand they’re about three to four miles away. They’ll pass now. Lovell: The booster on my side is a brilliant body in the sun. Just black background and there’s billions of particles around it. This was just released by The Pentagon after Trump declassified The UFO & Alien Files What exactly was this “bogey” they saw? Why did it take decades for this raw audio to surface & can we trust NASA?
