The Suppression of UFO Technologies and Extraterrestrial Contact 365
Franklin Roach, of the University of Colorado UFO study set up by the
Air Force in 1966, concluded that in addition to the booster traveling in
an orbit similar to that of the spacecraft, "there was another bright object
[the "bogey"] together with many illuminated particles. It might be conjectured,"
he said, "that the bogey and particles were fragments from the
launching of Gemini 7, but this is impossible if they were traveling in a
polar orbit as they appeared to be doing."
James McDivitt confirmed that although he did see an unidentified
object during the Gemini 4 flight on 4 June 1965, he does not believe it
was anomalous:
During Gemini 4, while we were in drifting flight, I noticed an object out
the front window of the spacecraft. It appeared to be cylindrical in shape
with a high fineness ratio. From one end protruded a long, cylindrical
pole with the approximate fineness of pencil. I had no idea what the size
was or what the distance to the object was. It could have been very
small and very near or very large and very far away.
I attempted to take a photograph of this object with each of the two
cameras we had on board. Since this object was only in my view for a
short time, I did not have time to properly adjust the cameras and I just
took the picture with whatever settings the camera had at that time. The
object appeared to be relatively close and I went through the trouble of
turning on the control system in case I needed to take any evasive
actions.
The spacecraft was in drifting flight and when the sun shone on the
duty window, the object disappeared from view. I was unable to relocate
it, since the attitude reference in the spacecraft was also disabled, and
I did not know which way to maneuver to find it.
After landing, the film from Gemini 4 was flown back to Houston
immediately, whereas Ed White and I stayed on the aircraft carrier for
three days. During this period of time a film technician at NASA evaluated
the photographs and selected what he thought was the photograph
of this particular object. Unfortunately, what he selected was a photograph
of sunspots [flares] on the window and had nothing whatsoever to
do with the object that I had seen. The photograph was released before
I returned and had a chance to point out the error in the selection. I, subsequently,
went through the photographs myself and was unable to find
any photograph like the object I had seen. Apparently, the camera settings
were not appropriate for the pictures.
I do not feel that there was anything strange or exotic about this particular
object. Rather, only that I could not identify it. In a combination of
both Gemini 4 and Apollo 9 I saw numerous satellites, some of which
we identified and some of which we didn't. ... I have seen a lot of
objects that I could not identify, but I have yet to see one that could be
identified as a spaceship from some other planet. I can't say that there
aren't any, only that I haven't seen any. I hope this helps Tim.
