The Encounter

The experiencer is Dr. Gregory Rogers, a former NASA flight surgeon and F-16 pilot. In 1992, while at Cape Canaveral, he was shown a video of a flying saucer by a major. The major locked the door and displayed the craft on a computer screen. Dr. Rogers described the craft as pearly white with no visible seams or windows. It became active, lifted off the ground, and demonstrated unusual movements. The major warned Dr. Rogers not to tell anyone about the sighting. For 15 years, he kept it secret, only sharing it with his wife. After retiring in 2024, he began speaking publicly about his experience, which has since gained significant attention and led to numerous interviews and discussions about UAPs.
