The National Aeronautics and Space Administration, established in 1958,
coordinates and directs the aeronautical and space research programme in
the United States. Its budget for space activities alone is larger than the
general budgets of a number of the world's important countries.
Although officially a civilian agency, NASA collaborates with the
Department of Defense, National Reconnaissance Office, National Security
Agency, and other agencies, and many of its personnel have security
clearances owing to the sensitive intelligence aspects of its programmes.
Research into UFOs is one such programme.
In May 1962 NASA pilot Joseph A. Walker admitted that it was one of
his appointed tasks to detect unidentified objects during his flights in
the rocket-powered X-15 aircraft, and referred to five or six cylindrical
shaped objects that he had filmed during his record-breaking high flight
in April that year. He also admitted that it was the second occasion on
which he had filmed UFOs in flight. "I don't feel like talking about them,"
he said during a lecture at the Second National Conference on the Peaceful
Uses of Space Research in Seattle, Washington. "All I know is what
appeared on the film which was developed after the flight."
Britain's FSR magazine cabled NASA headquarters requesting further
information and copies of stills from the film taken by Walker. "Objects
reported by NASA pilot Joe Walker have now been identified as ice flaking
off the X-15 aircraft," NASA replied. "Analysis of additional cameras
mounted on top the X-15 led to identification of the previously unidentifiable
objects. . . . No still photos are available." [Emphasis added.]
In July 1962 Major Robert White piloted an X-15 to a height of fiftyeight
miles at the top of his climb, and on his return reported having seen
as strange object. "I have no idea what it could be," he said. "It was grayish
in color and about thirty to forty feet away." Then, according to Time
magazine, Major White is reported to have said excitedly over his radio:
