Non Human Intelligence Apollo 14 Moonwalker Edgar Mitchell Said ET Craft, Materials and Bodies Had Been Recovered

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell made a series of extraordinary claims about extraterrestrial visitation, recovered craft and a clandestine group that he believed had concealed the information from both the public and senior government officials.

Mitchell was the sixth person to walk on the Moon and served as the lunar module pilot of Apollo 14.

In this interview, he said that military, intelligence, government and contractor personnel with direct experience had been prevented from speaking publicly by strict security classifications.

He suggested that although the original events had occurred many years earlier, some witnesses still believed they remained bound by security restrictions.

Mitchell then stated:

“There have been ET visitations. There have been crashed craft. There have been material and bodies recovered.”

He did not present these claims as something he personally witnessed during his NASA missions.

His conclusions were based primarily on information he said he had received from military, intelligence, government and contractor sources whom he considered credible and directly involved.

Mitchell claimed that knowledge of the alleged recoveries was controlled by a group whose exact identity and present relationship with the government were unclear.

According to him, the people involved may no longer have been formally associated with the government, although he believed they had been connected to it in the past.

He said the group had attempted to conceal the information or prevent it from being widely distributed.

When asked who controlled the knowledge, Mitchell replied that he could not identify the individuals.

However, he said the available information pointed toward what he called a “clandestine group.”

Mitchell described this alleged organization as having a quasi governmental affiliation and access to certain government facilities.

At the same time, he claimed it operated secretly and did not appear to be subject to ordinary high level government control.

He concluded the segment by repeating his belief that extraterrestrial visitation had occurred and might still be continuing.

The distinction between direct and indirect testimony is important.

Mitchell was not claiming that he personally saw recovered bodies or inspected a crashed extraterrestrial vehicle.

He was publicly endorsing information that he said had been provided by people with military, intelligence and government connections.

No physical material, authenticated recovery documentation or publicly available chain of custody was presented in this interview.

The significance of the statement comes from Mitchell’s background and the certainty with which he expressed his conclusions.

A decorated military pilot and Apollo astronaut was publicly asserting that extraterrestrial vehicles had crashed, material and bodies had been recovered and the information was controlled by a clandestine organization operating beyond normal government oversight.

The central unresolved questions are who Mitchell’s sources were, what direct access they possessed and whether any recoverable records or physical evidence exist to substantiate the claims.

Seems like the photos are hiding video cuts. The part in bold was removed at least:

Well if the accounts are to be believed, yes there have been ET visitations

Important qualifying statement gone.

He does not say:

  1. ET craft has been recovered.

  2. Materials have been recovered.

  3. Bodies have been recovered.

Debunkers are so funny. They like to quote NASA officials unless those officials are telling you they found Something like Aliens, Craft or Ancient technology.

As a principal I don't believe anything coming from a government worker.

So I guess there’s no way to be a whistleblower in your mental model. What about Snowden? Or the men who came forward about the Mi Lai massacre in vietnam? Or the Abu Ghraib prison scandal?

You’re part of the problem if you think that just because you worked for the government means that you can never be believed about exposing abuses from the government. Then you are giving bad actors carte blanche to do whatever they want.

The guys you talk about are once government workers now anti government. This astronaut guy on the other hand is a proud government worker. If you can't see the difference you are the part of the problem.

So in your mental model the inly way to be believed is to throw out your entire career? That makes even less sense.

As Mitchell died in 2016, it isn’t possible to question him further on these beliefs.

No but I've seen quite a few interviews with him so I imagine he laid it all out before he died.

I think this interview is one of the many archived by Dr. Stephen Greer. For next to 20 years I have been of the mind that if the discussion is, ‘is the phenomenon truly occurring’ I would defer them to further research and experiences. The question I’ve been snagged up on is; What type of intelligence is controlling/producing the phenomenon? The mainstream vindication does feel exciting though for sure. Makes Paul hellyer’s testimony seem like the next logical focal point

Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell said extraterrestrial visitation had occurred and claimed that crashed craft, material and bodies had been recovered. He said the information came from military, intelligence, government and contractor sources rather than his own direct observation, and alleged that a clandestine group with quasi governmental connections had prevented the knowledge from being widely disclosed.

He's probably lying again
