“Decades in the Shadows: Astronaut Unveils Shocking Truth Behind Historic Mission”
Instead, he grabbed the controls and maneuvered the spacecraft into a perfect landing on a waiting aircraft carrier. It seemed like his mission was complete— but things are not always as they seem.
The View From Up There
Though the public didn’t know it at the time, Cooper’s mission also involved taking pictures. He was supposed to take pictures of the earth while he was orbiting around it. “Man, all I do is take pictures, pictures, pictures,” he said in a message to ground control. “I’m up to 5,245 now.”
Cooper’s job had shifted from pilot to photographer, and he wasn’t sure that he liked his new role.
Why So Many Pictures?
You didn’t think that all of those pictures were just for our entertainment and education, did you? Cooper’s camera was actually equipped to detect magnetic aberrations along the Earth’s surface. This means that his camera allowed him to secretly look for Soviet nuclear bases or submarines off the coast of the United States.
This wasn’t just an exploratory space mission— this was a spy mission. What Cooper uncovered completely blew his mind.
A Map Of Questions
While Cooper was using his spy camera to detect secret nuclear bases he found hundreds of anomalies near the Caribbean, which he carefully charted in his small Faith 7 spacecraft.
Cooper didn’t think that these abnormalities were big enough to be nuclear sites (and he should know because he spent a lot of time in the military). In fact, the spots were quite small. So what were these abnormalities?
