Original Subject: DR. EDGAR MITCHELL - NOTES FROM THE PROPHETS CONFERENCE
The Associated Press brought national and international recognition to the
comments expressed by Dr. Edgar Mitchell at The Prophets Conference
presented by Axiom last October. The following excerpt by Dr. Mitchell is
of significant interest to those concerned with the truth.
Following the Prophets Conference remarks presented by Dr. Steven Greer
regarding technology and efforts to brief government officials on the UFO
phenomena, Dr. Edgar Mitchell responded by saying...
"I'd like to add a bit to what Steven (Dr. Steven Greer) had to say. It was
a marvelous report, but what I'd like to add to it is that in our briefing
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Intelligence Group, it became very clear to us
that they were naive. They did not really know any more about this effort
than we do, if as much. That is because, as Bob Dean pointed out earlier,
most of the people in government were not in government when I retired
twenty five years ago, they are younger people. The files going back fifty
years just no longer exist. They've either been purged, compromised or
whatever. They don't exist. So when we blame government for not being
forthright, they really don't have anything to be forthright about, at least
at that level. Now, somewhere there's knowledgeable people, and Steven has
ferreted out quite a few of them. And in my own efforts in talking with
these folks, and talking with government, the question often comes up as to
how they could have kept this a secret for so long. And friends they
haven't. It's been around us all the time, but it has been denied, and
obscured.
I often like to state the condition, the story, the myth if you will, about
Columbus coming here and some of the Indians not seeing the ships simply
because it was not in their collective consciousness and their repertoire,
they at least didn't want to see them. Much of what we're seeing now is
what many people don't want to see either. There's been a massive effort at
creating that, of denying the obvious, of saying that you're not seeing
what's sitting right in front of you right now, thus causing doubt in your
own mind. It's amazingly effective. So, documentation and evidence, that
is probably the smoking gun type of evidence, has been totally compromised
by saying that it's simply not true. So it is not true that they
(government) have kept the secret. They haven't kept the secret, but it has
been totally compromised by misinformation and disinformation.
Now for my own experience, I have had no first hand experience like so many
of you. I have not encountered a UFO, and we did not have them trailing, us
as far as we know, going to the moon. We didn't meet anyone on the moon.
We did it just like we said we did. For the last twenty-five years we have
dealt with the issue of, on one hand, the flat-earthers who said, 'you
didn't go anywhere, it was all filmed out here in the desert,' and on the
other hand, another fringe that said, 'yes you have been there, but you were
followed. You were in contact with UFOs. There were beings on the moon
that you met and had contact with.' Well, that's not true either. So, we
have walked between these two extremes of misinformation, disinformation and
pure ignorance. We did what we said we did, and I want to assure you, from
that period up until the current time, NASA was one of the organizations
ignorant of this type of activity. And the prevailing wisdom in NASA
(at-the-time) was that we didn't even think about it. It was a ridiculous
idea that we would encounter beings on the moon.
However, in the last twenty-five years since that time, I became quite
knowledgeable and became friends with Allan Hynek. I know and work with
Jacques Vallee consistently now, and I have known the gentlemen on this
stage, Bob Dean and Steven Greer for a few years. For me with all the
evidence, it's not a matter of believing, it's a matter of the preponderance
of evidence, and the evidence keeps building. The sightings keep happening.
So it is clear that if they are ET, and I will question some of the
sightings as to if they are ET, they are making their presence known. I
also think that the prevalence in the modern era of so many events - the
sightings, the continual mutilation events, the so-called abduction events -
that we are looking at likely reversed engineered technology in the hands of
humans that are not under government control or any type of high level
control. I find that quite alarming.
With regard to the technology itself, I work with folks who do know what is
in our technological data base and what is available to modern armies. The
so-called ET technology, the ability to have silent engines and flying
machines that make no sound, flying machines that have the characteristics
that are consistent with reproduction of UFO sightings, are not in any
nations arsenal, but they do exist. So if there are back engineered
technologies existing, they are probably in the hands of this group of
individuals, formerly government, formerly perhaps intelligence, formerly,
under private sector control with some sort of oversight by military or by
government. But this (oversight) is likely no longer the case as a result
of this access denied category that is now operating. I call it a
clandestine group. The technology is not in our military arsenals anywhere
in the world, but it does exist, and to me that's quite disconcerting.
I do work with a number of groups. We do know about some of the things that
the technologies are used for, and I want to assure you that these
technologies are not that far beyond our current state of knowledge. Now
understanding it scientifically, understanding how it can be, is a long way
from having a fully developed usable technology. But if in our knowledge we
can understand how it has to be in order to create that technology, we're
not that far away. So I want to assure you that we're not talking about
technologies that are so farfetched that we can't understand them. They're
just beyond the technological horizon.
I want to tell you that it doesn't appear we need to be using
ultra-dimensions and wormholes, etc., for this. It looks like our three
dimensional or four dimensional space-time universe is about what it appears
to be, and that we can operate within that space-time universe with these
types of technologies. We have tended, like the ancients of old, to have
invented myths about too many dimensions and time travel, wormhole travel,
etc., and it doesn't look like that's necessary to explain what we're seeing."

On January 31, 1971, Navy Captain Dr. Edgar Mitchell embarked on a journey
of over 500,000 miles in outer space, that resulted in him becoming the
sixth man to walk on the moon, during Apollo 14. This historic journey ended
safely nine days later on February 9, 1971 and was made with two other men
of valor - Admiral Alan Shepard and Colonel Stuart Roosa.
Scientist, test pilot, navel officer, astronaut, entrepreneur, author and
lecturer, Dr. Mitchell's extraordinary career personifies humankind's
eternal thrust to widen its horizons as well as its inner soul.
His academic background includes a Bachelor of Science in Industrial
Management from Carnegie Mellon University, a Master of Science from the
U.S. Navel Postgraduate School and a Doctor of Science in Aeronautics and
Astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In addition he
has received honorary doctorates in engineering from New Mexico State
University, the University of Akron and Carnegie Mellon.
Dr Mitchell has been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the USN
Distinguished Service Medal, the NASA Distinguished Medal, and three NASA
Group Achievement Awards.
After retiring from the Navy in 1972, Dr. Mitchell founded the Institute of
Noetic Sciences to sponsor research into the nature of consciousness as it
relates to cosmology and causality.
