#3 From his Wikipedia bio:

"Mitchell's interests include consciousness and paranormal phenomena. During the Apollo 14 flight he conducted private ESP experiments with his friends on Earth. [3] In early 1973, he founded the nonprofit Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) to conduct and sponsor research into areas that mainstream science has ignored, including consciousness research and psychic events."

"Mitchell says that a teenage remote healer who lives in Vancouver and uses the pseudonym Adam Dreamhealer, helped heal him of kidney cancer at a distance. Mitchell said that while he never had a biopsy (the definitive test for cancer), "I had a sonogram and MRI that was consistent with renal carcinoma." Adam worked (distantly) on Mitchell from December of 2003 until June of 2004, when the "irregularity was gone and we haven't seen it since."[4]"

"Mitchell has publicly expressed his opinions that he is "90 per cent sure that many of the thousands of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from other planets"[5] and that UFOs have been the "subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and to create confusion so the truth doesn't come out."[6] In 2004 he told the St. Petersburg Times that a "cabal of insiders" inside the US Government were studying recovered alien bodies, and that this group had stopped briefing US Presidents after John F. Kennedy.[7]"

#5 Wow. I wonder if the freedom of sharing information on the Internet is going to have an impact on how we view the idea of UFO's.

In case you want to make fun of Dr. Edgar Mitchell, here's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlkV1ybBnHI on the topic as well. And I remember watching a documentary once that had some very credible people acknowledging UFO incidents.

Mitchell said, "all our governments" The NASA response is very specific: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe. OK. But I notice immediately that he in no way refuted Mitchell's claim.

#6 Sure the aliens may be more advanced, but we have a Stargate.

#9 Um... NASA and the government can't even keep national security secret. Let alone something as mind blowing as ET. Personally I don't believe that aliens have contacted our government if they have visited Earth. Our government and other agencies are just not competent enough to keep it quiet for 60 years.

#11 FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens exist.

He's obviously been following the Obama campaign far too closely.

#16 If NASA had access to UFO technology I suspect we'd be on Mars long ago.

If aliens came to Earth I really doubt the government, ours or any other filled with corruptible and often incompetent bureaucrats could keep things a secret for 60 years.

If aliens came to Earth I think they'd have better ways to examine patience using DNA or something more advanced and they'd forgo the Anal probing nonsense (wonder what Freud would say about all that?).

I have to assume someone in NASA is pulling the good doctors leg after they heard of your belief in ESP, etc.

#20 He slipped over to the BS psychic side of things in the 70's. He has all the analytical power, common sense and discernment of a Berkeley-ite tree-sitter.

From his bio:

Mitchell became engulfed by a profound sensation "a sense of universal connectedness." He intuitively sensed that his presence, that of his fellow astronauts, and that of the planet in the window were all part of a deliberate, universal process and that the glittering cosmos itself was in some way conscious. The experience was so overwhelming Mitchell knew his life would never be the same.

He slipped a major cog back then and has been wobbling ever since.

#22 I am so conflicted. In order to believe this support for one of my favorite conspiracy theories that UFO are real, I have to accept that this guy is credible. In order to accept he is credible, I have to ignore one of my other favorite conspiracy theories about the moon landing being faked.

Maybe this situation is presented to me as a test to see whether my brain is harvestable by the greys.

#23 These morons make this small planet circling a minor yellow dwarf star near the edge of the Milky Way galaxy look like the freakin' cross-roads of the universe.

As if.
