Rogers says he was shown the footage by another Air Force officer who invited him to a locked room and then brought up a video feed. The monitor showed a 20-foot flying saucer with U.S. Air Force markings capable of levitating and rotating with propulsion unlike any known to conventional aircraft.
"I know exactly what I saw that day," Rogers told the outlet. "It was in no fashion a conventional flying vehicle."
The former Air Force officer said that he was inspired to come forward following other recent testimony of whistleblowers that allege the U.S. government has not been transparent about the existence of such craft and the obvious implications for extraterrestrial life.
