Retired NASA Doctor Claims US Air Force Had a 20-Foot UFO
A retired NASA flight surgeon claims he saw footage of a 20-foot-wide flying saucer with a US Air Force logo performing advanced maneuvers in a military hangar over 30 years ago.
Dr. Gregory Rogers, a former NASA Chief Flight Surgeon and Air Force Major, shared his story amid growing whistleblower reports about secretive UFO programs.
“I know exactly what I saw that day, and it was in no fashion a conventional flying vehicle,” Rogers, 68, told the Daily Mail. In 1992, while stationed at Cape Canaveral, an Air Force major led him to a locked room and showed him CCTV footage of a smooth, white saucer.
“There’s a flying saucer,” Rogers said. The craft bore a massive emblem: “It said ‘US Air Force,’ and it had the US flying insignia.”
Stunned, Rogers recalled thinking, “I’m thinking, ‘this is ours?’” He estimated the saucer was 20 feet wide and 8-10 feet tall with a shallow dome.
“There were no antennas, no flight control surfaces. Everything was very smooth and blended. I saw no rivets, no seams—nothing.” A tube appeared connected to the dome, possibly fueling the craft. Three vertical black rectangles were visible at different positions on the upper half.
Men in hazmat suits and lab coats observed the saucer before scattering when a horn sounded. Then, Rogers saw strange phenomena: “I hear and see these things that look like electromagnetic charges coming off this vehicle. But there’s no devices from which they’re emanating.”
The saucer then lifted smoothly, hovering 3 feet off the ground before rotating clockwise and counterclockwise.
When Rogers asked the major about the craft’s origin, the officer allegedly pointed upward and said, “We got it from them.” Rogers was sworn to secrecy and didn’t tell his wife for 15 years. He criticized the major for sharing classified information just to seem “important.”
Rogers also claimed astronauts confided in him about UFOs. “Astronauts have discussed UAPs with me,” he said.
“Vehicles that were not part of the human space program… being in near location to the spacecraft. Even flying in formation with them is not uncommon.” He said stigma keeps astronauts from speaking openly.
With over 20 years in the Department of Defense, including as Chief of Aerospace Medicine at Cape Canaveral, Rogers now serves on the International UFO Bureau’s board. His account adds to mounting claims about secret military UFO programs.
