NASA’s GEMINI “VTR” Transcripts – Astronaut UFO sightings from the days before Apollo


Before the Apollo program would ever be able to make the journey across the cis-lunar void to the Moon, NASA’s astronauts first needed to learn how to fly, work, and live in space. Between 1965 and 1966, NASA flew an aggressive series of two-man missions into low-Earth orbit, where they practiced and tested many of the flying techniques, spacecraft systems, science and living skills that would be required to ensure that the voyage to and from the Moon was conducted as safely as possible. The flight program that NASA implemented in order to accomplish these lofty goals was known as Project GEMINI. In a mere 20 months time, 16 NASA astronauts flew a total of 10 missions aboard the GEMINI spacecraft, orbiting the Earth over 600 times while acquiring a wealth of space experience that in the following years would serve to help make the upcoming Apollo lunar program such a resounding success. The GEMINI astronauts were some of the first men to explore this new ocean over our heads that is known as ’space’, and they did indeed see some amazing sights up there during their flights. Aboard each GEMINI spacecraft was a piece of equipment known as the “Voice Tape Recorder” (VTR). The purpose of the VTR was to give the astronauts the ability to verbally record any thoughts, comments, or observations throughout the course of each flight, primarily during the periods when they were not in radio contact with one of the MSFN (Manned Space Flight Network) ground stations spread out at

    It is too much of a coincidence that they make it a confidential matter once they start asking for details about the sighting. Stop lying NASA!

    @pdmkierst thanks for the responce. i appreciate that. i did look it up however afterwards. thanks again!

    @parkerdonald
    Agena was the name of the target vehicle launched for Gemini spacecraft to dock with, when docking was part of the mission. Agenas were launched by Atlas boosters, and then went into orbit using a small engine of their own. At the other end of he Agena was a docking collar that the nose of the Gemini could fit into. On some later Gemini missions, the Agena’s engine was used after docking to boost the combined Gemini-Agena into a higher orbit.

    @VanguardBeta Yes, part of the ship used to obtain Earth Orbit.

  5. VanguardBeta says:

    I just know I’m going to be seen as ignorant for asking this but, what’s the ‘booster’ that they keep referring to? A part of the ship?

    of course i know the maening of exobiology, my nick is CarlSagan, just face it, your lame attack on me was epic fail ;)

  7. mkcsk8maniac says:

    @LordCarlSagan Or did you only use the word because it sounds…”SHINY”!

  8. mkcsk8maniac says:

    @LordCarlSagan your” theories of life out side of this planet”… are just ,plain… stupid relating to whats seen on this video! as well as your assumptions on my knowledge, do you…know the meaning of exobiology…?

  9. LordCarlSagan says:

    @parkerdonald Agena was stage of rocket carrier of Apollo

  10. LordCarlSagan says:

    @mkcsk8maniac And who gave you the right to offend..YES its a possibility that some organisms can live inside the heliospheres of stars directly in space vacuum or inside interstellar gases /nebulas etc/ exactly like fish in oceans but I dont need to argue with someone who doesnt know anything about exobiological theories ;)

  11. mkcsk8maniac says:

    @LordCarlSagan who in hell gave you 11 thumps up…this here folks is a shell account user…he starts off like a believer then he says something totally misleading…fish,not even intelligent…just plain stupid.

  12. jamesglory1 says:

    Compartmentalisation. The astros don’t know they are ours. Deep space platforms. Craft etc. All our. Aliens don’t exist

  13. parkerdonald says:

    anybody know what he meant by Agena?

  14. parkerdonald says:

    @LordCarlSagan wow! i have a similar theory. these orbs behave in a way, kind of like some flying bugs.

  15. LordCarlSagan says:

    @Todo350 yes Its true, sometimes they also land in Lithgow watching for their alien friends u know ))

  16. BillehPerkins says:

    Keep up the good work !

  17. Todo350 says:

    @LordCarlSagan fucking lold

  18. seanpoppop says:

    man u can be a legend, keep up the good work my friend!

  19. witeflight says:

    @MrOMyFuckingGOD The astronauts are aviators, and that is part of the discourse. I’ve noticed a lot of the transmissions, even work on space station are pretty informal and casual. I do not think that means much, IMO.

  20. MrOMyFuckingGOD says:

    at 5:39 why is the sighting of whatever it is they say immediately refered to as a bogey? why is it refered to in a hostile manner? it did not fire on them or shoot anyone down…

  21. 15niall says:

    @ryans371 yeh, have you seen some on LunaCognita’s other stuff? Also massivley intruiginf=g :D

  22. danielandrespat says:

    great info, thanks for posting !! very good job !

  23. Hurricane810kr says:

    What track is playing that starts around 5:30? Nice tune!

  24. Yoetah says:

    Man, never never foot on satellite moon
