This was a very weak performance by Edgar Mitchell.
He refused several times to not give names or sources...said right at the start "I never seen a UFO"...and kept talking about the "lore" which everyone already knows about.
He may as well have been a random guy on the street that they interviewed. Him being an astronaut means nothing with what info he gave.

I'm quite sure anybody who was there in Roswell during the alleged crash, will have their stories. If anybody is going to know now, it's the relatives of those people.

So who do we believe?
The people that have been to space?
Or our Government?
I know who I choose to believe !!!
Be a little cautious here -- so much of what the Internet SAYS that 'astronauts say' is dubious at best.
Double check it before you fall for the simplest of argumentative deceptions, the 'Appeal to Authority'.
Note that Mitchell DOES say that NASA astronauts did NOT encounter UFOs while he was there [1966-1973], and at NASA, at least, there were no restrictions on talking about the subject.
There IS a "Mitchell saw 'visitors' on the moon' myth going around the internet that he also has said is bogus, so be doubly careful.

Here's the link to that story:

The big problem with Roswell is the fact that everyone wants it too be true including myself, this of course has the down side of being biased with the negatives of the event, and I assure you there are plenty.
I stand by what I say about Edgar he might as well not gone on the record at all, all hes done is this person told me this and that, no I do not have any personal experiences.
The most intelligent people on this planet have been fooled before, and for this reason no matter how much of a good source people want to believe this is, it simply isn't.
EDIT: What I'm trying to say, I want something which makes believers out of us all... and that's going to take a lot.edit on 9-6-2012 by Loophole because: (no reason given)
So what makes you think they can discuss to the public what they discuss in private or with superiors?

Saying nothing was encountered is not the same thing as hiding that something was. I can't believe so many people cannot comprehend this simple fact. That argument reinforces the statement that nothing has been seen.
Scenario 1 - Nothing encountered: "NASA astronauts did NOT encounter UFOs while I was there."
Scenario 2 - Something encountered: ""

Of course they would say "nothing was encountered". It is the best way to cover their "national security" base and avoid the harsh consequences of unathorised disclosure. They probably signed non-disclosure agreements to go to the moon much like bob lazar signed non-disclosure agreements to work at area 51.

USA National security admits to it too "Communication with Extraterrestrial Intelligence"

Well if they said something was encountered, what would that mean?

Actually nasa is an adjunct to the DOD which means anything can be classified. So what makes you think they can discuss to the public what they discuss in private or with superiors? I can't believe so many people cannot comprehend this simple fact.
Not to mention the brookings institute advised nasa not to divulge anything that could upset the status quo. Of course anyone who has done REAL research knows the government parrots what the think tanks tell them to and they in turn parrot what rich men want them to. Some things never change.........
Off the record is a different story and you learn more truth that way.

Its still apart of the conditioning. All these alien movies and scientist coming foward and NASA officials on tv is just to get people ready for the upcoming fake alien invasion in 2020-2030ish. Just like they did with 9/11. Once people believe the aliens are hostile they will definitely fall for the invasion. The Roswell incident/Area 51 I don't believe is real. I think it goes much deeper than that. Besides I don't trust anyone on MSM news
