Unfortunately we know what happened with the UFO Cooper claimed landed. It didn't land as Cooper claimed; he made that part up as confirmed by multiple researchers. But there was a UFO, and I found images of it online, while Gordon Cooper claimed the "film" "his film crew" made was never to be seen again. So, Cooper didn't really contribute to "astronaut credibility" to support generalizations that people like to make such as "astronauts are credible".

Gordon Cooper is on record of chasing one while flying and also witnessing a landing at White Sands Missile range.
What Mitchell said, to paraphrase, was that he didn't see anything personally, but he knew other people who told him stuff. So in that case, it's not about Mitchell's credibility, it's about the credibility of his anonymous sources which he didn't disclose, similar to how David Grusch has so far not disclosed his anonymous sources. His story is similar to Mitchell, that he didn't see anything himself, but he knows people who told him stuff and showed him stuff.

He's one of the top credible people in this area, as if there is one person that should know of there's life outside of this planet, it would be an astronaut.

OK, tell me why you believe him.
After an honorable NASA career, Cooper left the astronaut program under a cloud. In those sad, last years, he made TV ads for a company selling a magic carburator that turned air into gasoline. According to a detailed article in the Wall Street journal, he endorsed a series of investment schemes that went bust, costing investors millions of dollars [including most of his own savings]. Cooper claimed he'd saved the shuttle program from a lethal design flaw by relaying to NASA a telepathic warning from a non-human civilization [no memory or record of the alleged flaw and fix has ever been found]. He became an avid supporter of the authenticity of Billy Meier's Swiss UFO and alien encounters photos and stories, and even claimed that contactee Daniel Fry had arranged for him a ride around the moon on a UFO, for which he packed his camera kit and a travel bag and sat by the phone awaiting the pickup location, but then was disappointed to learn the aliens had cancelled it due to political conflicts on their home planet [it's in his autobiography]. He told folks about a secret sensor on his Mercury-9 flight by which he spotted precise locations of sunken Spanish treasure galleons [but kept it secret from NASA], and he measured precise latitude/longitude of the wrecks by eyeball out the capsule’s four-inch porthole. He described taking photos in 1965 from Gemini-5 so sharp you could read auto license plates and that he later even tracked down one driver from a plate number who confirmed he'd been in the city on that day. He also told a tale of being peppered by meteoroids during his 1965 flight that left deep gouges in his capsule’s hull – none of which can be seen on the capsule on display in Houston. He told the tale of hand-controller flying a manmade UFO prototype from a Utah inventor around his barn [it just hummed in its cradle but never moved, according to the inventor’s daughter, who was there], How many of those stories do you find even remotely credible?

Hi everyone,
On the Wednesday night YouTube program, Earthfiles, Linda Moulton Howe played a recording of astronaut Edgar Mitchell spilling all the beans on the reality of the UFO / UAP phenomenon. Absolutely incredible if you ask me. The way he describes the whole thing is just amazing to me.
I knew they were real years ago, I’m 62 and it’s great to hear an American hero telling the truth for once. Give it a listen.
Edgar Mitchell starts at the 27:17 time stamp on the transcript of the show.
Enjoy

I’m not a huge fan of Linda’s, and all I see at the 27:17 mark is her blabbering. I would really like to hear what Edgar Mitchell has to say. Where exactly is it in the video?

Yes he BELIEVED, that's a very important part. He did not have any evidence for his beliefs, but that's OK. People believe in a lot of things.
