First of all great find.. You clearly payed alot attention to pick up this interview. This will stir up the media for a while.And hopefully other well graded scientists who work in such projects as Edgar Mitchell did. So C-mon scientists and former Astronauts and those who are still in service tell your story back Edgar Mitchell and the scientists and millitary and other astronauts up!!! You can make the biggest human history of your life.. Its a small step to say the word but a big step for humankind!

houston out!

I have been saying all year that the vatican's disclosure was one of the opening salvos in disclosure, and now the ufo's in tx, usa and uk make it almost impossible to withhold. The radar pics from stephensville make the sighting absolutely watertight and impossible to fake... blimps don't go 1700 mph.... neither do fighters without breaking the s/barrier.

As many have pointed out, this is the same stuff Mitchell has been saying for over ten years. He has refused to explain why he's only "90% certain" of these things instead of 100% certain. He has never said what privileged information he has had access to if any. He has never named names, cited specific conversations, or said what "files" he's referring to. He has never said exactly what drove him to this "90% certain" conclusion (Was it a conversation with someone? Something he saw? A file he came across?). In fact he has always said that his opinions are all based on second hand information, just like any other UFO researcher. For all he's said, his "research" could be no more than reading books about UFOs.

If he wants the media to take him seriously, he needs to reveal new detailed information and cite the sources (without names) he obtained this information from. Until he does this, he's just another guy who's into UFOs.

Edgar should give out names of people only if those people OK it fist.

Edgar should give out names of people only when HE feels comfortable doing so.

I was just looking at news.com.au which is murdoch's australian newspaper site and saw the top articles from all the papers at the bottom of the page and noted how far this story has spread. I screengrabbed them below. Note: I added the red arrows to highlight the stories.

Actually I would say his opinion is orders of magnitude better than yours and mine, because of his qualifications, experiences and contacts. He has a base knowledge much more in tune and extensive on the subject matter than the vast majority of the human race.

I beg to differ. It's still just an opinion, because he still doesn't offer anything to back up what he's saying. Are we supposed to believe him because of his unknown contacts, who might also be wrong, or lying to him? Or of some film he says he's seen that might or might not be authentic? He has no particular governmental authority. He's not speaking on behalf of the U.S. Government. He's not the President or Pope, who might have some bit of believability granted to them because of their position. He's just a guy, like us, who has done some unusual things. Haven't we all?

I've had an active interest in this UFO stuff for over 40 years. That gives me a little bit of expertise. But even so, if I wanted to prove something, I'd still have to set it down on the table and let everybody get a good look at it. And so does he. Nobody gets a free ride here, because even if he believes he is telling the truth, we don't know if he actually knows the truth until it's confirmed by those who told him in the first place.

Funny enough the Pope and President are also Just guys... They are no different to any other human being on the planet... What a stupid point to make.

I wish some of you would go to digg. I seem to be the only one there who takes this seriously.

Yes, yes, it's all very thrilling until it turns out to not add up to anything and something real happens in the news and everybody pretty much forgets about it. Just speaking from experience.

Hey, thanks for your insult! Right back atcha!

If you could actually read, I said that the President or Pope "might have some bit" of believability in that situation. Not that they would necessarily be believed. I would personally still like to see the proof. The Pope says a lot of stuff I don't believe in, but if he said that the existence of aliens had been proven, and he showed me the undeniable proof, then he would certainly be worth listening to. And his position, as well as the Church's general stance against such things, would add at least some weight to his statements.

He was just on Fox and Friends and really seemed to back off his statements. He started attributing a lot of what he said to "lore" and backed off ever seeing or hearing anything. He kept basing it on "lore".

That's called the old "bait and switch".
I guess he got the phone call.
His 15 minutes of fame is coming to an end.
It sure woke up everybody here at ATS.

78% I'd say that's a majority.
