U.S. Navy captain, Apollo 14 lunar module pilot, sixth person to walk on the Moon. Founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. Spoke openly in later life of his conviction that UAP reports reflect non-human visitation and that the U.S. had recovered debris from Roswell.
Dr. Edgar Mitchell was a United States Navy Captain, aeronautical engineer, and the Apollo 14 Lunar Module Pilot, making him the sixth person to walk on the Moon. After his retirement, he became a profound advocate for the study of consciousness, parapsychology, and the UAP phenomenon. Mitchell's key contribution was his public assertion, based on high-level intelligence contacts, that the 1947 Roswell crash involved an extraterrestrial spacecraft and that the U.S. government maintains a reverse-engineering program. He actively pushed for congressional hearings and disclosure, arguing that the secrecy embargo was detrimental to humanity's technological and spiritual evolution. He remains the most prominent Apollo astronaut to explicitly endorse the crash-retrieval hypothesis.
