Throughout the history of modern UFO research, there have been many reports of crashed flying saucers and dead alien bodies being shipped off to destinations unknown. And while many of these reports come from dubious and less than credible witnesses, there are those rare occasions when the story rests on the shoulders of extremely prominent and highly credible individuals. Such was the case for Clark B. McClelland, former Spacecraft Operator of the NASA Space Shuttle Fleet.

In an article titled, Alien Disclosure From an Astronaut, McClelland came forward to tell a fantastic, yet interesting story he’d heard from the late Lt. Col. Ellison Onizuka, former Discovery astronaut who tragically died in the 1986 Challenger space shuttle explosion.

During a routine prep mission, the two had connected and exchanged several conversations throughout their working relationship. Many astronauts had been aware that McClelland had an interest in UFOs, having spoken on many occasions with Major Donald Keyhoe and Dick Hall, two former members of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), and the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON).
