In 1971, Dr. Edgar Mitchell (PhD from M.I.T.) was the lunar module pilot for the Apollo 14 moon mission. He, along with fellow astronaut Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest moon walk ever.
On July 4, 2008, Dr. Mitchell appeared on the “Larry King Live” program on CNN and claimed that high ranking officials, both military and civilian, have told him that the UFO phenomenon is a reality and in part a non-human gathering of intelligence of Planet Earth and the human race.
On July 23, 2008, Dr. Mitchell made the same assertions on a London radio station interview, stating that he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA, but each one was covered up. .
“I’ve been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge…” Dr. Mitchell claims, “We’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real. It’s been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it’s leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.” Read more…
On the 27th of June tens of citizens of the Russian city of Kaliningrad witnessed an UFO. For nearly an hour the unknown silver object hung over the local Blue Lakes. According to the witnesses, the discus-shaped UFO attracted attention of the locals who had a rest at the lakes and they started waving their hands as a sign of greeting to the object. Some people started making shots of the object and shooting video with their mobile phones. Despite the fact that tens of people witnessed the phenomenon, neither Baltic Navy nor the Ministry of Emergency Situations have officially commented the incident saying that they have not registered any unknown flying objects on that day.
A circular object with flashing lights. An orange fireball. A slow-moving, nearly-transparent object.
These strange sights in York Region skies are among seven UFO sightings in the newly released 2007 Canadian UFO Report. The annual report, written by ufologists Chris Rutkowski and Geoff Dittman, collects information on UFO sightings.
Mr. Rutkowski, who hails from Manitoba, said the study’s purpose is “to document what actually is being observed by Canadians in terms of UFO sightings and gain a better understanding of the phenomenon”. He added that data can also be used in scientific studies of UFOs. Mr. Rutkowski said everyone from stay-at-home parents to pilots report sightings. The report includes information about each of 2007’s 836 cases’ date, time, what was observed and how many witnesses saw it. Read more…
