In regards to Edgar Mitchell. He has never seen a UFO (ever) and he admits himself he grew up in Roswell, and Edgar has said previously, The Roswell event was talked back then among local folks. So his revelations in the last ten years are not that startling or mind blowing or even world shattering. Edgar constantly refer's to this phenomenon as being Extraterrestrial "Extraterrestrial? How those he know that? Well,.he has claimed he talked to people over the years behind the scenes who knew something. Who? Greer? It murky waters when you don't know who he is referring to.
I also believe he has been somewhat influenced into believing a particular viewpoint by friends and colleagues and by People here associated with the UFO field Like Greer and Bassett. But in saying all that.
Being the 12TH man on the moon is no mean feat and we have to respect him for that alone, but i just have a feeling his knowledge does not exceed what the rest of us here already know., He has just heard the same stories and rumours we have. Those are my feelings on it.
Also 24 men have gone to the moon. Edgar is just 1 astronaut out of 24 astronauts who went to the moon and has openly supported the UFO hypothesis. That we can prove. We have lot of stories about other Astronauts having seeing UFO'S on there way to the Moon (Aldrin and Armstrong) But nothing that has ever been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt and they certainly haven't supported the idea the Earth has ever been visited in the past or now. Cryptic statements from them, though interesting, that doesn't constitute an acknowledgement of an Alien presence here or on the moon. How many astronauts have gone into space and returned home.. not sure. But i am aware that Gordon Cooper, before he died supported the idea of visitation by Aliens and he has alleged he saw an Aerial vehicle land that has been also been alleged to have been alien craft. There might also be interesting stories from Cosmonauts from the Former USSR that night be worthy of further investigation here?
As for US Presidents. Truman, Ford, Carter, Clinton, Reagan have talked in public forums about the UFO phenomenon in the past. Carter never dismissed his Sighting Lance, He said, he doesn't know what it was, he said it was a UFO,... I can't explain it, he said. Venus was the explanation for his sighting, totally inaccurate on your behalf Lance.
Truman and Reagan's statements and Comments about the UFO phenomenon, are the most puzzling for people, yet they have never publicly ever supported the idea we have been visited, but they have made usual statement's to this regard, that do, make you wonder. There comments are worthy of exploring further, if nothing else.

Stephen and others should be applauded for busting the Pickering Brother's scam here. However Source A does seem to be a real person. It's the information provided by the Pickering brothers that has been proven to have had many inaccuracies or falsehoods. Many questions still remain however ;; like was Source A providing the False information to them as a Joke and using them to spread disinformation and if wasn't a joke, why was he providing this information to them (motive)?.. or did the Pickering brothers create this illusion themselves and used Source A as a back up to their story and he knew nothing of the story that the Pickering brothers have being spreading on the Internet ?
As for Stephen, has never studied the UFO subject. When he brought up the dreaded swamp gas explanation to explain the 1952 UFO's over Washington case, I said he has no clue LOL, Yet i accept. He was not on Don's show to talk about UFO'S or the reality of this phenomenon.
