Commander Jim McDivitt Spotting

My father’s uncle, Commander James McDivitt, was part of the Apollo 9 mission in the year 1969. As Ed White was doing his space walk, he contacted NASA on a private channel stating a craft was mirroring his moves inch by inch. NASA told him that they noticed that as well and will monitor, but “this is the last we will talk about this.” He was told by NASA not to mention this incident again to anyone, but of course, James told his family and subsequently, his nephew (my father). He was brought onto the Brady Bunch on the episode, “Out of this world.” Jim is shown in the episode if any would like to see.

Ask me anything.
