This former NASA employee broke his long-standing silence about the reveal of security footage of a ‘flying saucer’ or UFO more than 30 years ago.

“I know exactly what I saw that day,” said Dr. Gregory Rogers, who used to be NASA’s Chief Flight Surgeon and a Major in the United States Air Force.

The former NASA employee is convinced he saw a 20-foot ‘flying saucer’ inside a Florida hangar at NASA’s Cape Canaveral.

Like a lot of UFO sightings, the security footage showed what Rogers described as a ‘flying saucer’ levitated in a tilted way that showed it did not rely on traditional movement methods.

Former NASA employee reveals secrets of the ‘flying saucer’

Every now and then, a conspiracy theory will circle the internet about a mysterious Unexplained Flying Object or UFO in space, but this one comes from NASA itself.

The ex-Chief Flight Surgeon of NASA, Dr. Gregory Rogers, saw something in 1992 – just over 30 years ago – that seemed to change everything he thought he knew.

After viewing security footage of a NASA hangar in Florida’s Cape Canaveral, Rogers, who was also a veteran US Air Force Major, saw what could only be described as a ‘flying saucer‘.

What made him so sure?

It’s usually people with not much experience with space travel or flying who often mislabel strange lights in the sky as UFOs, flying saucers, and aliens, but this came from someone very high up at NASA at the time.

“I know exactly what I saw that day,” Roger once said in an interview with the Daily Mail, and said that he’s not the only one at the space agency who has been a whistleblower on strange space-based phenomena.

Apparently, another Air Force major approached Rogers and showed him the footage of the saucer-shaped object levitating in the middle of a group of people in lab coats and hazmat protection suits.

He described the flying as ‘smooth’ and how the craft ’tilted’ in a way that suggested it didn’t fly in a traditional way.

As with all UFO sightings, the internet is taking Rogers’ story with a pinch of salt, but his employment history with NASA and his veteran status mean people might be slightly more willing to believe him.
