45 Close Encounter Stories People Swear By That Make Us Believe There Is Something Out There

Astronaut and Air Force pilot Gordon Cooper has seen a lot in his day… a lot of U.F.O.s, that is! For example, in 1953, he witnessed what seemed like an entire convoy of U.F.O.s in the air. As if seeing only one UFO in the sky isn’t alarming enough.

To make things even more alarming, he saw them again a decade later, in 1963. However, they behaved a bit differently this time when they seemed to be coming right for him. He made it out alive, of course, and told his story. No explanation was ever provided.
