Former astronaut Mitchell calls for U.S. to end cover-up of UFOs

Washington, DC – On Monday at the National Press Club Dr. Edgar Mitchell called upon the new Democratic administration under President Barack Obama to end a six-decade long truth embargo imposed by elements within the United States government and confirm to the American people the reality of an extraterrestrial, non-human intelligence engaging the human race.  

Scientist, test pilot, naval officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and lecturer, Dr. Mitchell's extraordinary career has been a constant quest to explore and understand the world in which we live.  His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science from Carnegie Mellon University, a Bachelor of Science from the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science in Aeronautics and Astronautics from MIT.  He has received honorary doctorates in engineering from New Mexico State University, the University of Akron, Carnegie Mellon University and a ScD from Embry-Riddle University.  Dr. Mitchell has received many awards and honors including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize and was inducted into the Space Hall of Fame in 1979 and the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 1998.

Following Dr. Mitchell, Dr. Milton Torres, Major USAF (ret.), related an incident in 1957 while serving in the United Kingdom wherein he was ordered to shoot down a “UFO” which registered on his radar as possibly the size of an “aircraft carrier” and demonstrated extraordinary maneuverability.  He was subsequently warned by an intelligence staffer to never speak of the incident to anyone or else lose his flying status.  He only spoke out when the report of the incident turned up in a series of UFO file released last year into the public domain by the British government.   Dr. Torres called upon the new Democratic administration under President Barack Obama to declassify and release all “UFO” related documents in government files to the American people.  In this he mirrored very similar demands previously made by former Clinton advisor and chief of staff, John Podesta, and New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson.

Following Dr. Torres, Nick Pope, a former Senior Executive Officer with the United Kingdom Ministry of Defence, who directly investigated the UFO issue while working for the MoD, related how media coverage in the UK of the extraterrestrial/UFO issue has exploded over the past twelve months due to the timed release of thousands of documents and sighting reports by the British government into the public domain.   He gave a review of the current status of the issue in his country

    How credible can you get? Dr. Edgar Mitchell has seen things the government keeps denying. Go figure.

    I absolutely admire Dr. Mitchell for his couragous effort to end this silence that has plagued our world for over 70 years.
    It seems eventhough we have an person of that stature skeptics still don't want to believe.
    Open your eyes, the cover up has and is going on as we speak. thank you for writing this .

    There is always possibility of a civilization more advanced than ours. To deny that thought is similar to saying nobody is smarter than you.

    People for thousand years looked at the sky and never noticed the existence of AFOs (Aliens Flying Object) at altittude 20 - 40 miles, because AFOs camouflaged themselves by using different tricks that I discovered and described in my article:"Aliens Live In Our Earth's Atmospher". sites.google.com/site/socialcapital1/Home/aliens

    Fear is a problem. Once the truth is told it will change the world. What can we expect? History books will have to be rewriten, faiths are going to be questioned, and our very exsistence will have to be re-examined. Are we ready? It won't really matter what the reasons were to keep us in the dark, the real question will be "what do we know, and what now?"

    Dr Mitchell said:'The sun will burn out in due course, and we have to be off this planet if our species is to survive.' And he is right. This is a good explanation for my discovery why 'Aliens live in our Earth's atmosphere'. Nobody believes to what I have described in my article 'Aliens live in our Earth's atmosphere', beside those people who saw AFOs with their own eyes when I have shown them in Manhattan AFOs (Aliens Flying Object) in the night sky. I offered well-known Ufologists and UFO investigators from MUFON to witness for themselves 100s of AFO in the night sky and all of them by using different excuses rejected my offer. I still hope that some day one of the Ufologists will behave like Dr Mitchell and will have courage to verify the existence of AFOs in our atmosphere. (By the way, 45 years ago I served for 4.5 years in the Russian Navy on top secret military ship that tracked sattelites and experimental rockets,- as radar station operator, we have been well trained for that mission).

    Things are going to change soon, wether or not we want them. Religion is already changing, Vatican official declares it's ok to believe in extraterrestrials. Late, Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a theologian member of the Vatican Curia (governing body), and an insider close to the Pope, went on Italian national
    television five times, including recent months, to proclaim that extraterrestrial
    contact is a real phenomenon.

    Chuck Missler said:
    What we do know is that they are real; they show up on radar (multiple
    radar simultaneously), they are seen by competent witnesses, thirteen
    astronauts--not only have they seen them but some report that they
    have never been on a mission without seeing them."
    More and more high ranking officials will come forward, and then maybe people will start believing what we have been saying for years. The Beings are real, UFO's are real, and we need to learn to accept that as a reality, and not just a possibility.

    funny - he would have had to be part of it - the cover up - they need to know about all possible eventualities as pilots in space - that would include whether to disclose alien presence or not.....on the moon they even said "we've had visitors again"......

    When the astronauts circled around the "dark side of the moon" for the first time, losing radio contact, and once back to radio contact, the first transmission from the astronauts: " Yes, there is a Santa Claus".
    Well, c'mon, what do you think that comment was about? I suspect I know....

    ET's are a possibility, but it is unlikely that they have visited our planet. The nearest sun (Epsilon Eridani) which has possibly two planets, is 10.5 light years away, a return trip would be double the time. ET individuals would have to live for thousands of years in order to make frequent trips to our Earth, since no three-dimensional object can travel with the speed of light. – Well, suppose UFO's have visited the earth, then why would our government want to keep it a secret? What would be the point? Some UFO's have supposedly landed on Earth. Why didn't its passengers come out and try to get in touch with with us? I am inclined to think that these UFO observations may have been secret military experiments, whether by us or by other nations.

    These extra-terrestrials are very very advanced. They have technology that enables them to travel these great distances. Technology we have not discovered, yet. They have been coming to our planet for (probably) thousands of years. Be cautious not to limit your thoughts of the possibilities in the Universes! All beings do not have the same requirements to survive. Some beings are "non-breathers"! (try to imagine that one!) Some beings live in underground dwellings as the surface of their sphere is continually bombarded by space debris due to their thin atmosphere. Some human beings have come into close contact with these "other-worldly" creatures, some human beings had such close encounters as to have been taken into spaceships, some experiences have not been pleasant. Some experiences have been pleasant. I prefer to avoid any craft that I perceive to be of an alien nature. (well, I don't know why I say that, because I have been known to chase after peculiar lights in the sky, before...BUT ONLY WITH OTHER PEOPLE, NEVER ALONE... :/
