This is an audio recording — classified under NASA's holdings and released May 8, 2026 — documenting air-to-ground communications from the Gemini VII mission, dated December 5, 1965. The recording captures astronaut Frank Borman reporting an unidentified object, which he describes as a "bogey," to NASA mission control in Houston while in low Earth orbit. Fellow crew member Jim Lovell also provides commentary on the sighting. The record is excerpted from the broader Gemini VII communications archive and includes the NASA Public Affairs audio feed with contemporaneous commentary.
The incident is notable as a firsthand UAP report from two experienced NASA astronauts during an active crewed mission, made directly to mission control. No OCR text is available, meaning the full spoken content of the exchange is not captured in the released record as transcribed text. The document type is listed as VID, though the description characterizes it as audio. Whether a visual component exists is unclear from this release. The Gemini VII bogey report has appeared in prior public discussions of early NASA UAP observations, making this a potentially corroborating primary source record.
