Dr Gregory Rogers, a retired NASA Chief Flight Surgeon, claims he viewed 1992 security footage of a smooth, levitating flying saucer performing impossible manoeuvres, suggesting unknown propulsion technology operated by the US Air Force. He hopes his disclosure will encourage further revelations amid growing government transparency on UFOs.
As interest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) surges alongside the release of alleged footage and declassified documents, a former high-ranking NASA official has disclosed that the US Air Force supposedly possesses a gravity-defying “flying saucer.” Dr. Gregory Rogers, a retired NASA Chief Flight Surgeon and Air Force Major, claims to have seen security footage of this craft over three decades ago.
Rogers recounted the incident to the Daily Mail, revealing that he was shown the footage in 1992 while stationed at NASA’s Cape Canaveral facility in Florida. At the time, he was overseeing medical care for astronauts and safety inspections on the base. The footage, which he described as depicting a 20-foot-wide, 8 to 10-foot-tall craft with a shallow dome, was shown to him by an unidentified Air Force major who approached him one day after Rogers finished his work for the day.
The major led Rogers into a secured room, where a closed circuit television feed displayed the craft levitating within a hangar. “I know exactly what I saw that day, and it was in no fashion a conventional flying vehicle,” Rogers asserted. He noted the craft appeared smooth, lacking visible rivets, antennas, or control surfaces, and mentioned the presence of devices seemingly emitting electromagnetic charges.
A key moment in the footage came when the craft performed a 45-degree tilt while hovering, an action that Rogers believes indicated unknown propulsion technology. He stated, “None of the aircraft we have can do that,” highlighting the remarkable nature of the manoeuvre. The display culminated in the craft rising smoothly off the ground, rotating to reveal US Air Force insignia.
Rogers expressed his dilemma about disclosing this information, stating that he kept the secret for over 32 years, only choosing to reveal it now as part of a broader wave of disclosures from other Department of Defense (DoD) whistleblowers. He asserted, “I hope that my report may stimulate others to reveal whatever they have similarly witnessed,” reflecting a desire for transparency in the ongoing dialogue surrounding UFOs, or what government entities now label as Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
The former astronaut medical director has a history of advocating for safety within NASA, having previously raised concerns about the shuttle programme, notably before the tragic 2003 Columbia disaster. He correlated the historical resistance to acknowledging possible threats within NASA with the military’s current reluctance to admit the existence of UAPs. “It’s the same mentality,” he said, underscoring his belief that governmental denial persists despite credible evidence presented by various military and government officials.
As part of his commitment to pursuing the truth about UFOs, Rogers is now involved with the International UFO Bureau (IUFOB) in Oklahoma, a non-profit organisation dedicated to researching encounters and promoting public understanding of UFO phenomena. The IUFOB, founded in 1957, aims to provide data-driven insights and is currently utilising artificial intelligence to analyse reported incidents.
Rogers joins a growing roster of whistleblowers, including notable figures such as David Grusch, who have come forward to discuss alleged US government knowledge of alien technology and crafts, thus contributing to an evolving narrative about the existence of UFOs.
As discussions around UFOs and potential alien technology continue to unfold, the accounts of former officials like Dr. Gregory Rogers serve to heighten curiosity and scrutiny regarding the military’s involvement with unidentified objects and the extent of what may still remain classified.

Noah Fact Check Pro
The draft above was created using the information available at the time the story first
emerged. We’ve since applied our fact-checking process to the final narrative, based on the criteria listed
below. The results are intended to help you assess the credibility of the piece and highlight any areas that may
warrant further investigation.
Freshness check
Score:
8
Notes:
The narrative includes recent disclosures and references to ongoing discussions about UFOs, suggesting freshness. However, specific details, such as the footage from 1992, may be older.
Quotes check
Score:
7
Notes:
The quotes appear unique to Dr. Gregory Rogers, but no independent verification of their original source is found. Lack of earlier references suggests they might be original, but without further context or corroboration, this remains uncertain.
Source reliability
Score:
6
Notes:
The narrative originates from the Daily Mail, a popular but sometimes sensational publication. While it has a wide readership, its reliability can vary, especially regarding scientific or controversial topics.
Plausability check
Score:
4
Notes:
The claims about a gravity-defying ‘flying saucer’ are extraordinary and currently lack independent verification or concrete evidence. This makes the narrative challenging to assess regarding plausibility.
Overall assessment
Verdict (FAIL, OPEN, PASS): OPEN
Confidence (LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH): MEDIUM
Summary:
The narrative involves intriguing claims from a former NASA official, but lacks concrete evidence. While the freshness and context are relatively recent, the reliability of the source and plausibility of the claims raise questions. Further investigation is needed to verify the details.
