Edgar Mitchell

“Mitchell was a naval aviator”

“the famous American astronaut who was part of the Apollo 14 mission”

“It was Ed Mitchell who piloted the lunar module on 5 February 1971, becoming the sixth man to walk on the Moon, one of the legends of space exploration.”

“Edgar earned a PhD in aeronautics and astronautics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).”

“a Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree”

“and his early years growing up in Roswell, New Mexico, the site of the world famous Roswell UFO crash.”

“He once confided to Hal and Eric that his family was among the Roswell families who were threatened by the FBI after the famous Roswell crashes.”

“In my cock-pit window, every two minutes, I saw the Earth, the Moon, and the Sun, and the whole 360 degree panorama of the heavens . . . and that was a powerful, overwhelming experience.”

“And suddenly I realized that the molecules of my body and the molecules of the space craft, and the molecules in the body of my partners, were prototyped, manufactured in some ancient generation of stars. And that was an overwhelming sense of oneness and connectedness, it wasn’t them and us, it was “that’s me,” it’s all of it, it’s one thing.”

“And, it was accompanied by an ecstasy. A sense, “Oh my God, wow, yes!” An insight. An epiphany.”

“This experience was so profound that it changed the direction of his life.”

“Upon his return to Earth, he went on an extended book encounter, voraciously reading as much as he could on the topic of consciousness.”

“The experience in space was so powerful that when I got back to Earth I started digging into various literatures to try to understand what had happened. I found nothing in science literature but eventually discovered it in the Sanskrit of ancient India.”

“The descriptions of samadhi, Savikalpa samadhi, were exactly what I felt: it is described as seeing things in their separateness, but experiencing them viscerally as a unity, as oneness, accompanied by ecstasy.”

“He was also the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS), which is dedicated to the study of consciousness,”

“and Quantrek, an institute populated by physicists and scientists who study energy and consciousness.”

“He founded these institutions after a remarkable, transcendent experience he had while on his way home from the moon, floating in space, and looking at Earth.”

“a theory developed by the late Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell.”

“Edgar’s theory is elaborated in his idea of the “dyadic model” of consciousness. This model, according to Edgar, explains how remote viewing, telepathy, and even extraordinary mystical experiences, such as his experience of Samadhi while traveling back from the moon, are possible:”

“He was also a practitioner of remote viewing.”

“What was more surprising to me was that he had conducted remote viewing experiments in space during the Apollo lunar mission.”

“These experiments were not sanctioned by NASA, and Edgar said that they were “secret.””

“I met Edgar on two occasions.”

“I knew that he believed in UFOs and extraterrestrials, so I asked him to meet the small group of researchers that I had organized in California. He would attend our session via Skype.”

“Beforehand I found out everything I could about him and was surprised to learn that, just like the other brilliant scientists I had interviewed, he had been involved with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI).”

“The transition back to Earth was difficult for Edgar, a feeling that Tyler had expressed as well, after each of his launches of satellites and shuttles into space.”

“Edgar Mitchell, like Tyler D., was part of the hidden and unofficial history of the American space program that I had been discovering—the cosmonauts and rocket scientists, like Jack Parsons, who believed in extraterrestrial or nonhuman beings that interacted with humans with the goal of helping them achieve space travel and, in Edgar’s case, peace on Earth.”

“Rey, together with Apollo astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Rudy Schild, and Australian researcher Mary Rodwell, cofounded the Dr. Edgar Mitchell Foundation for Research into Extraterrestrial Encounters or FREE.”

“He also provided Rey with the number for Edgar Mitchell, the former astronaut and Rudy’s mentor.”

“Rey phoned Edgar and found that they lived very close to one another, so they decided to meet.”

“He told me about his “awakening” in space and his early years growing up in Roswell, New Mexico, the site of the world famous Roswell UFO crash.”

“Edgar and his associate Rudy Schild helped Rey understand this theory,”

“Like Rudy, Edgar offered to assist Rey in the formation of an organization.”

“He said that Edgar firmly believed that a study that focused on the experiencer was important, so FREE’s motto became “Disclosure from the Bottom Up.””

“Which was why in April 1997, Mitchell's renown opened the way for an extraordinary briefing with the Deputy Director of Intelligence for the US military's Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Thomas Wilson.”

“TW: Confirmed Greer/Miller/Mitchell gave talk in Pentagon Conference room. Adm. Mike Crawford, Gen. Pat Hughes (Hughes his boss) were present (others too.) Date April '97.”

“But we know Steven Greer, Willard Miller and Edgar Mitchell presented Admiral Wilson with what they were convinced was strong witness evidence to support their belief that the US government was covering up alien visitations to Earth, recovered spacecraft and alien bodies, and incredible technological breakthroughs purportedly derived from those discoveries.”

“Edgar Mitchell later confirmed to many friends that this meeting happened as Greer described.”

“(EWD note - Miller told Ed Mitchell who only told me in 1999)”

“Multiple witnesses at this meeting – Shari Adamiak, Stephen Lovekin, astronaut Edgar Mitchell and Commander Willard Miller – have backed Greer’s account.”

“In June of 1997, just two months after Mitchell joined Steven Greer at his meeting with Admiral Tom Wilson at the Pentagon, Mitchell's files show he wrote to the powerful Republican Senator from South Carolina, Strom Thurmond”

“Edgar Mitchell's fax privately assured the Senator that he was convinced the Corso story was true.”

“Mitchell, long a proponent of research into UAPs, served on the science advisory board of NIDS and he retained some of the confidential NIDS research reports from Skinwalker and other areas visited by the Bigelow-funded investigation team.”

“That was why billionaire UAP investigator Robert Bigelow invited Mitchell to serve on the advisory board of his National Institute for Discovery Science research organisation.”

“former astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who knew Hoagland from his NASA days”

“during the 1996 “Hoagland-Mitchell debate” with Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell on *Coast to Coast AM,* Hoagland went out of his way to consider that the distant ruins might have been very faint, and might have even been further filtered by the gold visors that the astronauts wore on the surface”

“The program ended with Hoagland promising to send Mitchell additional materials to review, and Mitchell agreeing to another mutual program to review the new material.”

“Hoagland did send the pictures and other data, but Mitchell never responded, and the follow-up program never took place.”

“this (see Color Fig. 5) is a *real* Apollo 14 photograph, taken by Alan Shepard of his fellow astronaut, Ed Mitchell—as Mitchell was setting up the TV camera at the beginning of their first lunar EVA.”

“who took THIS Hasselblad shot—published as a two-page spread (note the central binding in the reproduction), in Shepard's own "space biography?" ... Both astronauts—Shepard and Mitchell—are seen simultaneously *in the same photograph?*”

“the image of Ed Mitchell in the golf shot fake is simply cut out (and reversed) from a *real* Hasselblad frame, AS14-66-9301, the now-infamous "Mitchell under glass" photo [Fig. 12-5].”

“it started out and it definitely progressed across the field of view.”

“what I called a NOVA was more of a blob that seemed to start with that and kind of expand. More diffused. Yeah, more diffused as the time went on.”

“You had 12 right and 6 left”

“Ed saw one blue flash. Did anyone else see color? / No... No, that wasn't blue. It was a silver, a blue-white sort of thing. Like a blue diamond, you said. Like a blue diamond.”

“I don't really recall that there was any night except on the lunar surface. that I didn't at some time or another say some.”

“One thing that Mitchell always told the curious was that, in all his space travels, he 'never saw a UFO'.”

“However, The Spaceman says that privately Edgar Mitchell confided he did see anomalous objects during his Apollo 14 mission that he could not explain.”

“During the NASA mission, Mitchell confided to The Spaceman, he saw anomalous well-defined blue lights that appeared to have a structure behind them.”

“But he dismissed the possibility that what he saw were lens flares, reflections from inside the lunar module or camera glitches, because he saw the blue lights with his own eyes and went back later to check they were there on film.”

“But he told no one, until that night with The Spaceman in the final months before he died.”

“'I asked him why he always denied seeing UFOs and he would only say one word: Treason,' The Spaceman said. 'I took that to mean the astronauts were warned not to speak about UAP sightings and Ed certainly did not want to tell me any more about it.'”

“It was only in the last months of Mitchell's life that the astronaut finally took his friend into his confidence and told him that, incredibly, he believed – but could not prove scientifically – that every Apollo mission was closely watched by intelligently guided craft of unknown origin, and that he had seen these strange objects with his own eyes.”

“On 4 February 2016, Edgar Mitchell, the American hero who defied death by riding a giant highly explosive rocket 380,000 kilometres to the lunar surface, was felled by cancer, passing away peacefully at his Florida home, just one day before the 45th anniversary of his Moon landing.”

“After Edgar Mitchell died in February 2016, his nephew Mitch Harkins, who was living in Mitchell's home, took possession of several boxes of Mitchell's UAP and paranormal research files that he had retrieved from Mitchell's home study.”

“but he had heeded his uncle Edgar's wishes to make sure his most sensitive files were preserved and passed on to the Spaceman.”

“Rigney briefly met Mitchell in 2012 at the 40th anniversary celebrations of the final Apollo mission, Apollo 17.”

“had clashed with association members, who criticised Mitchell's post-NASA work investigating unidentified aerospace and paranormal phenomena.”
