The Encounter

The account discusses several UAP encounters by astronauts and cosmonauts. The first is by Astronaut James McDivitt during the Gemini 4 mission in June 1965. He saw a cylindrical white object with a long arm while drifting in space. He took pictures but could not identify it. The second encounter is by Buzz Aldrin during Apollo 11 in July 1969. He and his crew saw an unidentified object traveling alongside them but chose not to report it. Cosmonaut Victor Aiasv reported a UFO tailing his craft in April 1979, taking photos that were later confiscated. Lastly, Major General Vladimir Koval saw an unexplained object during his mission in May 1981. All encounters remain unidentified, and the astronauts were advised not to discuss them publicly.
