Below is my transcription a small segment of an Art Bell interview with Edgar Mitchell. It begins about 15:50 into the 11-4-97 Real Audio archive at: http://ww2.audionet.com/artbell/archive.html The interview was sparked by a 10-15-97 Associated Press article about Mitchell's Phoenix Prophets' Conference remarks, apparently regarding recovered alien spacecraft. What seems to be another version of this article is currently ensconced in the ACC website at: http://american-computer.com/mitchell.htm *************** Art: ...Somebody faxed me the following Associated Press article, "Phoenix AP [Phoenix, mind you, dateline]: Former astronaut Edgar Mitchell is among those who believe aliens have crash landed on Earth....Mitchell, who, in 1971, became the sixth man...to walk on the moon, wants congressional hearings into what he calls a secret US government that knows all about it. He believes some military and other planes use technology derived from alien spacecraft that have been captured and dissected....'When I went to the moon twenty-six years ago, it was conventional wisdom, religiously and philosophically, that we were still the biological center of the universe,' Mitchell told a spiritual gathering called the Prophet's Conference on Saturday. 'Few if any thinking, knowledgeable people accept that theory anymore.' " End quote. Here, from Florida, is Dr. Edgar Mitchell. Doctor, welcome to the program. Dr. Mitchell: Hello, good evening, Art, how are you today? Art: I'm just fine. I remember when I first called you a couple of weeks ago, and I read you this headline from the AP, you laughed and laughed and laughed [ha-ha-ha], and said, well, they might have pushed the envelope a little bit on this one, in the writing of it. Dr. Mitchell: Yes, I think we can say that. Art: [Haw haw haw!] Is it, aside from the headline, well, let's talk about the headline, "Former Astronaut Edgar Mitchell is among those who believe aliens have crash landed on Earth." Respond to that. Would you say that is true, false, or... Dr. Mitchell: It's squishy. I can't say I believe anything, Art. I simply look at the evidence, and I have no first-hand evidence in that particular instance. But I, fortunately, have been listening to people of government and military background, who, during the course of their official duties, claim that those are true events. I have no reason to disbelieve these folks. I judge most of them are senior, and can be checked out as to have been where they said they have been, and had the responsibilities that they claim. So, I tend to believe that what they say is true. Art: Doctor, what kind of people are we talking about here? Pilots...? Dr. Mitchell: Well, pilots, but I'm thinking more in this case of people with some military or government management capability or investigative responsibility, over the years, who were in a position, due to their official duties, to have this type of knowledge....I certainly don't want to, I don't diminish in any way the reports of average citizens, or even police officers, who, I'm sure, run into these things all the time, but I was more concerned with the folks - with regard to this back engineering question - more concerned with the folks who presumably were there and had the responsibility to know. Art: How convinced are you, and that doesn't mean that you believe, because that requires a leap of faith, but just based on what you've heard, you know, you've got the whole Colonel Corso business going on now, I assume you're somewhat familiar with the story he's told, that there has been some retrieval, somewhere, sometime, of technology that came not of the Earth, that we took advantage of, back-engineered, in some way... Dr. Mitchell: Well, there are several folks that tell that same story, and I have no way to judge the details of it, except that it rings fairly true from what the world of circumstantial evidence points.
