WASHINGTON, DC -- April 19, 2009 -- Retired navy captain and Apollo XIV astronaut Edgar Mitchell today called for the U. S. government to disclose to its citizens and other Earthlings what he asserts are the realities of long-standing extraterrestrial visitations and interactions with our planet.

Speaking this morning at "X-Conference 2009" in Gaithersburg, MD, a suburb of the nation's capital, Mitchell told several hundred attendees and a phalanx of video cameras that, with our planet confronting population pressures and critical questions of environmental and energy sustainability, the need for disclosure about extraterrestrial involvement with Earth is critical.

Mitchell contends that the dispersal of knowledge about what he believes to be the end of Earth's apparent quarantine from other civilizations, and advancement of planetary culture beyond its present fragmentation and incoherence, are desirable results of the widest public release of information about the extraterrestrial presence he believes is real.

Mitchell, Bassett and other "ET disclosure" activists are banking on President Barack Obama's repeated assurances that government agencies withholding information from US citizens are "on notice," in the President's words, that an era of unnecessary secrecy is over.[snip]

Mitchell said he believes such changes are essential for Earth to make progress through problems confronting humanity's competing needs, religious imperatives and cultural fragmentation.

"We live in challenging, magnificent times," Mitchell said, emphasizing that, in his opinion, information that we are not alone in the universe -- and indeed, he said, that we here on Earth are having ongoing interactions with nonterrestrial beings -- may provide a key to consciousness changes he and his colleagues believe are necessary.

Mitchell is slated to appear at the National Press Club tomorrow morning (Monday, April 20, 10 a.m.) [snip]

This is a long article, I've likely edited poorly. For those interested, go to the link. I don't know as to "ET's on Earth"- but I believe that our government rountinely withholds information that belongs to the citizenry.

Is this about the President?

[Big_Monkey]

I’m positive that space aliens haven’t visited earth. If they had, the Democrats surely would have registered them to vote.

Ping!

Hmmmm. If I had a choice between seeing proof of space aliens on earth or 0bama's real birth certificate...

“Saucer Secrets” great name for a line of cat food

Funny, the word “saucer” doesn’t appear to be said by Ed Mitchell in the article, so why would the newspaper attribute a quote of “saucer secrets” to him? Gosh, it’s almost like the author was trying to ridicule him!

That NEVER Happens.

Unless saucer secrets is another term for a sick queer act that normal people have no idea about. Like teabagging was unknown to normal people, until last week.

anything dealing with this topic is a source for ridicule on this site.

LOL! So that's why we don't have his original birth certificate -- it's back on Rigel IV or wherever....

[geologist]

Interesting ... Amazing really that he believes what the says. Could it actually be that he has seen ET’s?

to disclose to its citizens and other Earthlings

What is the exact distinction being made here?

[Karma Police]

It doesn’t matter how decorated or qualified these astronauts are, no one at freerepublic will give them the time of day.
