One page of the official NASA Apollo 12 mission transcript (November 1969), Tape 90/3, page 742. The page shown covers Houston uplinking a state vector and the lift-off time to the lunar module Intrepid, plus a friendly exchange with the command module pilot aboard Yankee Clipper. It is routine flight-operations dialogue with no unidentified object mentioned on this page.
Key Facts
Page 742 of Tape 90/3 runs from mission elapsed time 05 19 14 58 to 05 19 24 05 (day, hour, minute, second), about nine minutes of dialogue.
The speakers are Houston (CC), the lunar module commander (CDR-LM) and the command module pilot (CMP). The vehicles use their Apollo 12 call signs: Intrepid for the lunar module and Yankee Clipper for the command module.
Houston asks first the lunar module crew and then the command module pilot to set their computers to POO and ACCEPT so it can uplink data, including a command module state vector and an RLS (landing-site) update. It also confirms the lunar module lift-off time as 142:03:47, which the crew reads back.
Nothing on this page refers to an unidentified object. It is routine flight-operations traffic ahead of the lunar module ascent.
This record reproduces only this one page. Anyone looking for the passages behind Apollo 12 UFO claims needs the rest of the transcript, which is not shown here.
