Strange Visitors: What Military Doctors and Scientists Say About UFOs

A retired NASA flight surgeon’s shocking revelation about seeing a UFO with U.S. Air Force markings in a military hangar matches disturbing new scientific evidence that aliens have been secretly studying humanity for decades — and their behavior is becoming more sinister over time.

A former NASA doctor has broken his silence about something he saw more than thirty years ago. Dr. Gregory Rogers was once the chief flight surgeon for NASA and a major in the Air Force. In 1992, while working at Cape Canaveral, another Air Force officer took him to a locked room and showed him security camera footage that would change everything he thought he knew about flying machines.

The video showed a smooth, white disc about twenty feet wide and eight to ten feet tall. What made Dr. Rogers’ blood run cold was not just the strange shape of the craft — it was the markings on its surface. The flying saucer bore the official logo of the United States Air Force.

“There’s a flying saucer,” Rogers remembered thinking as he watched the footage. The craft had no antennas, no wings, and no visible seams or rivets. Everything about it was perfectly smooth, as if it had been molded from a single piece of material. A tube connected to the dome on top, possibly used for refueling. Three black rectangles were positioned at different spots on the upper half.

In the video, men in protective suits and lab coats stood around the mysterious craft. When a warning horn sounded, they scattered like startled birds. Then something even stranger happened. Rogers watched as what looked like electrical charges began dancing around the vehicle, even though there were no visible devices that could create such effects.

The saucer then lifted smoothly off the ground, hovering three feet in the air before rotating slowly in both directions. When Rogers asked the Air Force major where the craft came from, the officer pointed upward and said simply, “We got it from them.”

Rogers was sworn to secrecy that day. He kept the secret for fifteen years before even telling his wife. Now, at age 68, he has decided to speak publicly about what he witnessed. He also claims that astronauts have confided in him about seeing strange objects during space missions — vehicles that were not part of any human space program, sometimes flying in formation with spacecraft.

Dr. Rogers is not the only person coming forward with disturbing claims about government knowledge of unidentified flying objects. A team of scientists has spent years studying UFO reports from 1945 to 1975, and their findings paint a picture that is both fascinating and deeply unsettling.

The Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies published research in May 2025 that examined nearly six hundred UFO incidents over three decades. The scientists discovered patterns in UFO behavior that suggest these mysterious visitors are not random phenomena but intelligent actors with specific goals.

During the early years after World War II, UFOs showed intense interest in America’s atomic weapons facilities. They appeared at plants that made radioactive materials, at sites where nuclear bombs were assembled, and at storage locations for atomic warheads. The most famous of these incidents occurred in 1967 at Malmstrom Air Force Base, where a UFO allegedly disabled multiple nuclear missile silos.

But the scientists noticed something even more disturbing as the decades passed. UFO behavior changed in ways that followed no earthly logic. In the 1940s and 1950s, the strange craft often appeared during daylight hours, performing dramatic aerial displays that seemed designed to get attention. They would fly in impossible formations, make radical turns that would kill any human pilot, and interact with military aircraft in ways that demonstrated their superior technology.

By the 1970s, however, UFO encounters had shifted dramatically. The daylight displays mostly stopped. Instead, the objects began appearing at night, approaching small groups of people for extended periods of observation. Witnesses described feeling watched and studied, as if they were laboratory specimens.

The scientists who conducted this research believe they may have witnessed the progression of an alien study program. The early dramatic displays could have been attempts at making contact or demonstrating intelligence. When humans failed to respond appropriately, the visitors may have shifted to a different approach — quietly studying human behavior from the shadows.

Even more chilling is what the research suggests about UFO intentions. The scientists identified several possible explanations for the patterns they observed. The craft could be conducting a military survey of human atomic weapons capabilities. They might be trying to establish recognition as intelligent beings. Or they could be engaged in basic behavioral studies of the human species.

The data shows that instead of becoming more open and friendly over time, as would be expected in a normal contact scenario, UFOs became more secretive and their interactions more unsettling to witnesses. This reverse progression troubles the researchers, who note that it does not match any known protocols for peaceful contact between intelligent species.

During the 1950s, there were even reports of UFOs attempting electronic communication. In 1957, UFOs reportedly transmitted coded signals using military identification systems, suggesting they understood human technology well enough to attempt basic communication. But these efforts appeared to stop when humans did not respond appropriately.

The scientists found that UFO activities clustered around significant developments in atomic weapons technology. When new types of nuclear weapons were developed or deployed, UFO sightings in those areas increased dramatically. This pattern suggests the visitors maintain ongoing surveillance of human military capabilities, particularly weapons of mass destruction.

Perhaps most disturbing is the possibility that these encounters represent a form of behavioral study. The shift to nighttime approaches of small groups of witnesses, combined with extended observation periods, resembles the methods scientists use to study animal behavior. The implications of humans being treated as subjects for alien research creates questions that no one seems prepared to answer.

The 1967 Malmstrom incident illustrates the complexity of trying to understand UFO intentions. When the mysterious craft disabled nuclear missiles, was it trying to help prevent a nuclear disaster, or was it demonstrating its ability to neutralize human defenses? The same action could be interpreted as either assistance or a show of dominance.

Dr. Rogers’ account adds weight to claims that the U.S. government possesses recovered UFO technology. If his story is accurate, the military has been studying and possibly reverse-engineering alien craft for decades. The smooth, seamless construction he described matches reports from other whistleblowers who claim to have seen similar technology.

The timing of these revelations is significant. Government agencies have recently begun acknowledging the reality of unidentified aerial phenomena, releasing videos of military encounters with objects that demonstrate capabilities beyond current human technology. But official statements have been limited to confirming that something unexplained is occurring, not explaining what these objects might be or where they come from.

The scientific study covering 1945 to 1975 represents only the beginning of a larger investigation. The researchers note that their findings apply specifically to the United States during those three decades. Similar patterns may exist in other countries or time periods, but more research is needed to understand the full scope of UFO activities worldwide.

The data suggests that UFO incidents should continue to cluster around significant military technological developments, particularly those involving nuclear weapons. If the pattern holds, any major advances in atomic warfare or other sensitive military technologies should trigger increased UFO activity in those areas.

What makes these accounts particularly unsettling is their consistency across different sources and time periods. Dr. Rogers’ description of advanced craft with U.S. markings aligns with the scientific study’s findings about sustained UFO interest in American military capabilities. Both suggest a level of ongoing surveillance and study that has continued for decades without public acknowledgment.

The researchers emphasize that their work represents an intelligence assessment based on available data, not speculation or science fiction. They used established methods for analyzing patterns in complex data sets, the same techniques employed by military and intelligence agencies to understand adversary behavior.

Their findings suggest that whatever intelligence controls these craft has been conducting a systematic study of human civilization, with particular focus on our most dangerous technologies. The shift from open displays to covert observation implies a level of strategic thinking and long-term planning that challenges basic assumptions about what might be visiting Earth.

The implications extend beyond simple questions about whether we are alone in the universe. If these accounts are accurate, humanity has been under systematic observation and study by a superior intelligence for decades. The purposes of this surveillance remain unclear, but the patterns suggest it is neither random nor benevolent in any conventional sense.

As more military personnel and scientists come forward with similar accounts, the picture that emerges is of a phenomenon that operates according to its own logic and timeline, largely indifferent to human attempts at communication or understanding. Whether this represents a threat, an opportunity, or something else entirely remains one of the most profound mysteries of our time.
