Gordon Cooper left room for mystery
NASA, 1962.
Cooper gives the believer-friendly line, but he also allows that each sighting may have an explanation. That balance is worth preserving. The quote is interesting because it is open-minded without being proof.
From the file
Cooper said many qualified people had seen objects with no logical explanation, while also saying each case might in fact have an explanation.
He was willing to leave open the possibility of life elsewhere, but he did not present that as proof of any particular sighting.
