silver6ix: If you're suggesting that Edgar Mitchell was paid to lie about NASA knowing of aliens, please explain how that benefits anyone at all. I
am trying to understand how it is something realistic.

Dr Edgar Mitchell is asscociated with the X-Files franchise, not myth, not dis information, not coverup, just plain and simple fact, he has worked for
the X-Files for some time and it has never been a great secret.
His "disclosure" on conspiracy and cover up was timed right at the moment that the X-Files were preparing to release the latest film to the cinema.
What am I suggesting? That Mitchells disclosure had less to do with aliens and far more to do with stirring up interest in conspiracy theory before
the box office release of the film.
Anyone willing to disgard that simple fact which is undeiably suspect should question their own motives. Of all the time this gentleman has had to
disclose information and "come clean" he picks the moment before the release of an X-Files movie having been involved as a consultant with them for
some considerable time? Please, Mitchell is no fool and id take his word with an extreme pinch of salt.
Maybe he was telling the truth, we will never know, but we can safely assume he did time the disclosure conveniently for the realse of the X-Files and
that doesnt require any investigation to find out. Its common knowledge he works for the franchise.

Thanks. Based only on what I've read, I simply interpret his association with X-Files as a promotion for people to take a closer look into conspiracy
theories. This in itself is fine, so I don't necessarily think his disclosure should be seen as suspicious just because it was done at the same time
of film release. Also, because I don't know him, I can only wonder if he did that because he genuinely felt it was most appropriate as the film would
naturally raise interest for a moment about conspiracy anyway.

Actually he works for them, hes an advisor who helped them with information regarding the writing of the show, for example authenticity of the shots
and various other things.
There was nothing clandestine in the job, most shows have paid experts advising them and providing feedback on their research and writing stuff.
Its not like he was involved in conspiracy theories before that point. he was a paid advisor in the capacity many TV shows and films use, a
professinal hired to help them create more "realistic" fiction.

Only problem I have with that is.., even if you yourself are old and grey, and are willing to throw your own safety on the line because you're in
your "twilight years", it would still leave the safety of your family hanging in the wind.

Well your point is kind of moot as this is not the first time Dr. Mitchell speaks out.
He has been saying this atleast since 1996...

The fact that so many respectable people, astronauts ex NASA workers, pilots etc have come forward, shows that there must be some truth in this.
As for the argument that the website linked is "tacky", it doesn´t matter, most major news networks and big websites are controlled.

The biggest problem with these kind of disclosures is that they are disclosed years or even decades after the event.. The World has moved on
since this event and the truths sadly have been very carefully submerged/controlled that make these kinds of disclosers hard to accept for today's
generation of *sheltered* people.
Without any concrete proof, these disclosures are naturally treated with scepticism by the media and ultimately ordinary people since they rarely have
any concrete proof to back up their claims. What constitutes as proof anyway?.
Only when our respective governments 'officially' come out and tell the world these 'aliens' exist will such disclosures like these be given the
credit they deserve.
For the record, I am not a sceptic but a believer in Extraterrestrials that are not from this planet.

Yes, and when was the Xfiles Unopened files released? 1996.
I think you will find if you research a little further Ed Mitchells timing is very suspect isnt it?

This story had me until I read one of the statements he made...
"I am ready to tell my story, but, for compensation."
So, here we have another story...no photos or hard evidence...a story. Another crackpot(IMO) wanting money. I won't read any farther.

On that B-2 ion sheath photo: the leading edge is reportedly ionized to reduce drag pressure along the leading edge. But when you reduce pressure
there you concomitantly increase pressure just up and slightly away from that. If you increase pressure on moist sea air (see the breakers just below)
it will cause condensation of moisture, won't it? The whap of increased pressure-and-condensation might just look like the photo---a vapor above and
below, also inducted into the crescent space behind the B-2. You don't see electrical or plasma ions, but you do see the secondary effects under some
circumstances. --George LoBuono, author of Alien Mind, free to read at www.alienmindbook.org

NASA and SETI are coverups yet everyone takes their words to be fact. Funny how the skeptics believe everything NASA & SETI have to say. They have
been covering up aliens, ufo's and airbrushing things from the very begining. (In saying this I'm referring to those in the coverup not every
worker for NASA or SETI is in the loop.) Disclosure is not meant for the entire world nor will it come. It's not about are we ready to accept
that they are here, it's not about us it's about them and it's bigger than anyone can imagine.

I've read about half the pages in this now and I feel its probably enough because the recurring themes are giving me a head-ache.
I'd like to make a few comments about this whole affair, regardless of the veracity of whatever this man purportedly wants to publish. Some of these
points will seem to favour Mr McClellands claims others will not.
This man certainly has the documentation to prove that he was linked with the space-programme although I can't find any proof that relates him to the
posts that he claims to have held, that said, the autographed photos (if authentic) do imply that the astronauts regarded him as an ScO. If these
could be verified from those astronauts then it could be said that he has a credible history. Furthermore if the people he lists would be willing to
provide character witness then he would be a credible person. Contrary to this however is the terms of the cessation of his employment and the
consequent loss of whatever pension he may or may not have been due. Here I will provide minimal background about myself.
I work in a highly-regarded aerospace firm, as part of which I was required to sign a National Secrets declaration. As part of that contract, one
which Mr McClelland would likely have similarly signed, if I was to disclose any information to anybody to whom it was not privy (including other
people in the firm) in the smallest detail, I would almost certainly lose my job and any future employment reference that goes with it making me
effectively unemployable. It would also void the terms of my employment and pensions contract hence forfeiting my right to a pension.
I can only surmise that Mr McClellands employment was terminated on grounds similar to this, where a perceived breach of this contract voided his
rights to pension and ruined his chances for future employment in his field. Since minor infractions are normally overlooked when done by minor
players it could be assumed that Mr McClelland was in a position of responsibilty such that no infraction was acceptable implying that he held enough
knowledge that it's disclosure would have serious ramifications for NASA.
With his character discredited on a coorprate level Mr McClelland would have had great difficulty finding an outlet for this information once he was
no longer in employment. Not least because the government has deep pockets and strong retribution. It would take a journalist who wanted to commit
career suicide (not to mention editor, publisher) to provide an outlet for information that the government really doesn't want heard (assuming that
is the case here).
In terms of the material he has, it is certainly interesting and i don't see why people find a single apparently 9' being so hard to deal with
regardless of its origins. I'd be more surprised if he said 2 Astronauts where having a conference with twenty half-foot beings in the loading bay,
The contraption in the background? it could be extraterestrial, it could be from a different space agency it could be any number of things. Just
because you sign National Secrets, it just means you cant talk about the things you know about, it doesn't mean you get to learn the rest of it. On
that basis alone I'd say that there is nothing ridiculous about his story.
Actually I think that rather than attempt to forward all his info as a UFO story, he should publish a biography about his life and meetings with the
remarkable people he claims to have met. I'd buy it, not many people will have been in a position to enounter the people in his story, let alone
share information with them. Hell I spend half my time figuring out what secret research was done and forgotten during the Cold War and some people
would love to hear what I know and that isn't much!

McClelland told me via email that he knew Dr. Wernher Von Braun, and one day at White Sands Proving Grounds (I believe that's where he said it was),
McClelland decided to ask Von Braun what he knew about Roswell. Von Braun lit a cigarette and said he saw the wreckage and bodies. Hmmm........

Oh and in terms of "why keep it a secret"
Well firstly as previously mentioned I doubt he could find an oultet for his ifno. Secondly, it is highly probable that in the course of validating
any information he has to give he would have to give more names, and that would force other people still with NASA pensions or payrolls to talk about
what he has said, potentially jeopardizing them. Not that they would, nor would I, I'd keep scthum and keep getting my pay-check thank you very much,
regardless of however much a friend this person might have been I need to eat. Furthermore the wrath of higher powers is likely to increase
exponentially with greater involvement so as previously stated by others he would not just be jeopardizing his family and their future employment, but
oter families and friends of his as well. Indeed if the perceived threat of the release of this information was great enough I do not doubt that lives
would be at stake.
I wander if perhaps he doesn't threaten to release this data perhaps to get some compensation from the government, while in denial that they clearly
hold the upper hand.

Decide on a case by case basis, not as a blanket indictment of everyone past your own limited horizon.
And yes, in case you're too immature to figure it out, I'm posting not as a moderator, but as an "old" member. Deciding someone's "worth" as a
witness based on age is no different than saying because someone is black, they must be of lower IQ. Or because someone is from Latin America they
must be backward. Or that because someone lacks a PHD they must be a liar.
This person deserves the same respect you would want.
OK. I guess we will have to ignore that facts that old people ARE prone to senility, and yes, many of the people in latin america, whom are reporting
a lot of UFO stories, are, in fact, quite backward.
And, just because somebody WANTS respect, does not almost mean they DESERVE respect.

Agreed ....
Take a look up at the stars....there are lots visable to the naked eye ..yes?
Now take a look at that dark area between the stars....the hubble has reportly found the same amount of suns , gallaxys in these dark areas .
Astronomers estimate that we see 50-100 billion galaxies in the universe. Most are relatively small, irregular shaped or small ellipticals, but there
are billions of galaxies as big as ours, or much larger. For example, the large elliptical galaxy in the center of our next-door neighbor (modest
sized) supercluster of galaxies, the Virgo supercluster, is called M-87. It contains 1.3 trillion solar masses, the equivalent of 1.3 trillion suns.
The Milky Way is only about a fifth that massive, or less. But if you like big galaxies, the Milky Way and Andromeda will merge in about 2.5-3 billion
years. Scientists used to say it would be 3.5 billion years before the merger, but last week a new estimate by researchers shows the Milky Way to be
almost a massive as the Andromeda galaxy, meaning the two will be drawn to each other more rapidly.
Think about that for a moment......now to say that there is no such thing as ETs / aliens and that we earth humans are all the only ( intelligent)
"lol" beings is being a tad naive dont you think?
Time for humanity to wake up from our deep sleep and to admit to ourseleves that no...we are not alone and boot out the sorry excuses we have leading
this planet and the cover ups they have perpertrated .
