The topic is not one to which UFO specialists can point with pride in their own behavior and standards of reliability. And volumes and volumes of voice transcripts are readily available at Houston. Often astronauts are quoted about UFOs. Sometimes they are referring to experiences they have had before or after their roles in the space program. In other cases they are making general statements based on reading the news media.
Many quotations are fictitious.
Only one astronaut claims to have seen a UFO in space, and that is Jim McDivitt, who stipulates that his definition of a UFO covers the probability that his object was some other man-made satellite which has not been identified. James Oberg is a space specialist in Houston and a writer and lecturer on astronomy and space science. Links pointing to our home page are welcomed.
