Through the decades of space travel, US Astronauts have not only claimed to see odd things flying by outside their space capsule, but have brought back photographic proof of those objects. NASA immediately "lost" the data in their bureaucracy and instructed the astronauts that they hadn't seen a thing. Ripley Radio's own UFO and Paranormal investigator, Lee Speigel, reports on this cover-up and hints at what's really happening out there.
