Is there anyone more qualified than an astronaut to shed light on the
existence of UFOs?
Now, in an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, the wife
of one Apollo astronaut has revealed the secrets her husband
shared before he died.
Anita Mitchell, who was married to the late NASA pilot Edgar
Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon in 1971, said:
'He always felt that there were UFOs out there, because so many
of the pilots and astronauts had seen something.'
She claims several of his fellow crewmates, including Apollo
astronaut James McDivitt, similarly reported seeing mysterious
objects during America's early space missions. Some also saw
strange craft while flying conventional planes over Earth.
'I remember Gordy [Project Mercury astronaut Leroy Gordon
Cooper Jr.] telling us at a dinner party in our house that
he had seen something,' Mrs Mitchell told the Daily Mail.
'He said, "Listen, we have nothing that goes that fast and
goes that high," she recalled.
Cooper was one of the earliest NASA pilots who took part
in the program's Mercury and Gemini projects and logged
thousands of hours in jet aircraft.
But despite all his experience, Mrs Mitchell said the veteran
pilot had admitted that after spotting the UFO, American pilots
'just couldn't catch it'
. . .
Oddly, Mitchell apparently DIDN'T have one of those
experiences.
Some astronauts - esp Armstrong - suddenly seemed to
obsess about 'aliens' after their flights. Armstrong
almost became another person. During his moon-walk
he switched to the 'medical channel' and said something
to the effect that "They're watching us from the
crater rim" - a statement NASA never explained.
Did he just go nuts from stress ? So far NO
explainations/docs. He WAS chosen because he
was the coolest head in the program, so make
your judgements.
You'd THINK he'd have hand-written something, kinda
hidden away, left with some odd aunt or cousin or
academic. The MIB can't find *everything*.
Buzz ... he ain't talking. However he wanted a
big post-NASA career so .......
Trump SAYS he wants to get to the bottom of the
whole UFO thing. We'll see. Alas note that
anything like "They're here, we don't really
know why and can't do anything about it" is
NOT really what any govt wants to say.
