rivers, lakes, oceans-­
Conrad
I think all of that will come out in the experiments
too.
We saw all kinds -
Cooper
Towns, airports, railroads, roads, and all that
stuff.
Conrad
.Airplanes.
Cooper
Airp-lanes .
Conrad
.Anything you say, we saw at least one each.
Cooper
I finally saw one and I nearly busted my rear end
doing it.
Conrad
I saw the carrier. I saw an airliner. I saw con­
trails. I saw individual houses up in Tibet. One
thing I didn't see for Gordo was a car.
Cooper
I couldn't find him a car. He was sitting over there
asleep. I turned on the whole control system and
turned around to show him one. This was the only
one I could find during the whole stinking l ousy
trip.
Conrad
We saw just about anything you would expect us to
see.
Cooper
But there again I think you've got to have the con­
trol system to point where you have your windows
right to make sightings.
You just can't catch them
in drifting flight .
