"I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real"
Edgar Dean Mitchell is an extremely respected man in science and the pilot of the Apollo 14 lunar modular mission being the sixth person to walk on the moon on February 9, 1971.
On July 23, 2008 on Britain’s Kerrang radio show Edgar Mitchell announced to the world that most of the people that witnessed the UFO Roswell Crash of Roswell New Mexico were telling the truth about an extraterrestrial flying object and were being covered up by the US Government.
“I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real,” Dr Mitchell said.
Being such a respected individual and having insider knowledge and access to NASA files and documents Edgar Mitchell felt it was important that the truth was released to the world by an important and reliable source like himself.
He also said that many of the locals told him “the crash of an alien spacecraft in the Roswell area was a real event and much of the lore, I can’t say all of the lore, but much of the fact that dead bodies were recovered and live ones were recovered, that they were not of this world, was the story.’ And of course it was reported in the Roswell Daily Record one day and promptly denied the next day and a cover story of a weather balloon, and that was pure nonsense. That was a cover-up.”
NASA released a statement after Mitchell disclosed the information which simply stated:
“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”
In a recent interview with the Discovery Channel, he made the following statement regarding what he had been told about Roswell:
“I did take my story to the Pentagon not NASA, but the Pentagon asked for a meeting with the Intelligence Committee of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and got it. I told them my story and what I know and eventually had that confirmed by the admiral that I spoke with, that indeed what I was saying was true.”
