During NASA Space Mission, Astronaut Discovers Extraordinary Secret He Would Keep for Over 40 Years

Almost 50 years ago, an incredible astronaut quietly documented the coordinates of treasure locations during his job with NASA. As he was sent on missions to detect nuclear sites, he unearthed something that he would keep secret for decades after he retired.

Life-Changing Information

Before he died, he handed the life-changing information to a very close friend, and with that, an entire Discovery Channel series was born. The fascinating show follows the incredible discoveries made from the astronaut’s calculations, which are now making history.

Who is Gordon Cooper?

Leroy Gordon “Gordo” Cooper Jr. was the youngest of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the United States.

First American To Sleep In Space

Cooper piloted the longest and final Mercury spaceflight in 1963 and he was the first American to sleep in space during that 34-hour mission. He was also selected as backup Commander for the May 1969 Apollo 10 mission.

Career at NASA

During his time at NASA, Cooper held the title of being a record-breaker. He died suddenly in 2004 from heart failure, but not before leaving behind a life-changing piece of information. While on the Mercury 9 Faith 7 expedition, Cooper discovered a series of anomalies, which he concluded might be shipwrecks.
