intelligent our-world government
Intelligent beings from other planets regularly visit our world in an effort to enter into contact with us. NASA and the American government know this and possess a great deal of evidence. Nevertheless, they remain silent in order not to alarm people. I am dedicated to forcing the authorities to end their silence.
airplane desire littles
I have the normal desire, experienced by everybody who's ever flown an airplane with a certain amount of zoom capability, to go a little bit higher and a little bit faster.
doubt mind three
A saucer flew right over (us), put down three landing gears, and landed out on the dry lakebed. (The cameramen) went out there with their cameras toward the UFO.... I had chance to hold (the film) up to the window. Good close-up shots. There was no doubt in my mind that it was made someplace other than on this earth.
government feelings sitting
I know other astronauts share my feelings.... And we know the government is sitting on hard evidence of UFOs.

If we use the old antiquated systems we've got now, a Mars landing won't happen in my lifetime.
beyond definitely happy hope provide saying service
I'm not saying we won't come, but I'm definitely not saying we will, either, ... We would be happy to provide the service and I hope we can find a way to do so. It's not beyond all possibilities.
believe civilization germany
Several days in a row we sighted groups of metallic, saucer-shaped vehicles at great altitudes over the base Germany, 1951 and we tried to get close to them, but they were able to change direction faster than our fighters. I do believe UFOs exist and that the truly unexplained ones are from some other technically advanced civilization.
believe earth littles
I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on earth.

I'm sorry Al that I never told you that I changed the ratio in my differential, ... You really weren't any less of a driver, it's just that I cheated a little on you.
