Kerrang!
Radio Host Margerrison was surprised during the radio interview when
Dr. Mitchell confidently stated he knows there is other life in the
universe, that some visits Earth and that he has been briefed along
with others by U. S. government insiders who keep the truth from the
public and media.

“Margerrison: DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS?
Edgar
Mitchell: Oh, yes. There is not much question at all, but there is
life throughout the universe. We’re not alone in the universe at all.
Margerrison: YOU’RE CONVINCED WE’RE NOT ALONE IN THE UNIVERSE?
Mitchell:
Oh, I know for sure we’re not alone in the universe. Now, have we been
able to identify for sure where the other (inhabited) planets are? No,
we haven’t, certainly not in our solar system. But they have identified
quite a number of planets now that very likely could be life-bearing
planets.
I happen to be privileged enough to be in on
the fact that we have been visited on this planet and the UFO
phenomenon is real, although it has been covered up by our governments
for quite a long time.
Margerrison: WHOA! WELL, HANG ON A MINUTE. THIS IS BIG. ALL THIS IS QUITE A SHOCK TO ME.
Mitchell: Well, I’m sorry you haven’t been reading the papers recently. It’s starting to open up quite a bit.
Margerrison:
SO, YOU’RE TELLING ME – THERE’S A LOT OF INFORMATION HERE TO TAKE ON
BOARD. HANG ON A MINUTE. LISTEN, I’VE HEARD CRAZY UFO NUTS TELL ME THIS
KIND OF THING BEFORE. I’VE NEVER HAD DR. ED MITCHELL, THE SIXTH MAN TO
WALK ON THE MOON, A RESPECTED SCIENTIST IN HIS OWN RIGHT, ANNOUNCE TO
ME THAT WE’VE BEEN VISITED BY ALIENS FROM OTHER PLANETS AND THAT THEY
DEFINITELY ARE OUT THERE. THERE IS NO DEBATING IT.
Mitchell: Well, this is the first time you’ve ever talked to me, or I would have told you about it before.
Margerrison: (laughs) SO YOU BELIEVE THE WHOLE DEAL?
Mitchell:
There’s more nonsense out there about this than there is real
knowledge, but it is a real phenomenon and there are a few of us (who
know). It’s been covered up by all our governments for the last 60
years or so. But slowly it’s leaked out and some of us are privileged
to have been briefed on some of it. I happen to have grown up in
Roswell, New Mexico, where presumably the Roswell incident of 1947 took
place and I’m quite knowledgeable about it there since I grew up there.
But I’ve also been in military circles and intelligence circles that
know below the surface of what has been public knowledge that, yes, we
have been visited.
Margerrison: AND
YOU’RE SERIOUS? YOU’RE NOT GOING TO GO, ‘I WAS JUST PULLING YOUR LEG
ABOUT THAT?’ THAT IT’S NOT TRUE? I’M WONDERING IF I’VE STUMBLED UPON
ASTRONAUT HUMOR AND IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES YOU’RE GOING TO GO, ‘I WAS
ONLY PULLING YOUR LEG’?
Mitchell: No, I won’t do that.
Margerrison: WOW! SO YOU’VE BEEN BRIEFED ON THE FACT THAT WE’VE BEEN VISITED?
Mitchell:
Well, briefed is one word for it. I have been involved in much of this
work – it’s not my main work. It’s not my main interest. But I’ve been
deeply involved in certain committees and research programs with very
credible scientists and various intelligence people that do know the
real inside story and I am not hesitant to talk about it.
Margerrison: WHAT IS THE REAL INSIDE STORY?
Mitchell: That’s what I’m telling you: we have been visited.
Margerrison: IS IT REGULAR CONTACT? OR ONE CRASH? OR?
Mitchell:
Well, no, there is quite a bit of contact going on. I can’t tell you
because I don’t know all the extent of it, not all of the inside
details because that is not my really main interest.
But
the fact that we have been visited, that the (July 1947) Roswell crash
is real and a number of other contacts have been real and ongoing is
pretty well known to those of us who have been briefed and been close
to the subject matter.
Margerrison: SO, WHY IS IT BEING COVERED UP THEN? WHY IS IT NOT MAINSTREAM?
Mitchell:
The reason for that goes back to when the main instances started taking
place after World War II when in the United States at least – I can’t
speak for the European governments or South American governments. All
of them recently have started opening their files. This has started to
open up and the internet, or look at some of the international press,
you’ll start to get the stories that are coming out now.
Margerrison:
BUT I’VE HAD PEOPLE ON THE SHOW TELLING ME THAT GOVERNMENTS ARE
MOUNTING TOWARDS DISCLOSURE, TOWARDS SAYING THIS IS THE CASE. DO YOU
THINK IT WILL BE THE CASE THAT THERE WILL BE AN ACTUAL DISCLOSURE ON
THIS MAYBE THIS YEAR. THAT THE GOVERNMENTS …
Mitchell:
I don’t know whether it will be this year in the United States, but
certainly we’ve already had it in the last few years from the Belgium
government, from the French government, from the Brazilian government,
the Mexican government – they’ve opened their (UFO) files and admitted
they had the files.
Margerrison:
OK, LET ME GET MY HEAD TOGETHER. LISTEN, HERE’S WHAT I KNOW. I’VE HAD
PEOPLE ON THE SHOW TALKING ABOUT THE FACT THAT THE CATHOLIC CHURCH HAS
SAID THAT BELIEF IN LIFE ON OTHER PLANETS DOES NOT COMPROMISE YOUR
CATHOLICISM.
Mitchell: Of course,
that just happened recently in association, I believe, with a major
release from the British government of some of the British files. They
were not your deepest files, but they were some files released.
Margerrison:
WHAT’S HAPPENING OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS –ALL OF THE UFO FILES HERE IN
THE U. K. ARE BEING RELEASED. DO YOU THINK IT’S THE CASE THAT WE ARE
RAMPING UP TO MAYBE THE U. K. ADMITTING?
Mitchell:
I can’t say how fast it’s going to happen, but certainly the public
awareness of it is increasing, the public acceptance is increasing. The
amount of misinformation, covert and actual attempts to cover up seem
to be decreasing. I think we’re headed for real disclosure by some
serious organizations moving in that direction.
Margerrison:
YOU’VE HAD A LONG TIME TO THINK ABOUT THIS. WHAT DO YOU THINK THE
IMPACT WILL BE ON THE WORLD WHEN IT IS FINALLY MAINSTREAM NEWS THAT
THERE ARE ALIEN BEINGS FROM OUTSIDE THIS PLANET?
Mitchell:
Well, I think at this point, it’s probably a whole bunch of ‘What’s
new?’ I think that certainly in the United States that well over 70% of
the people now accept this as fact. While they do not know all the
correct story, they do know there has been – or accept the fact – that
there has been visitation and see UFOs in the skies all the time that
are very likely alien craft. Now, not all of them (aerial craft) are. I
suspect that some of them are homegrown. I suspect that in the past
sixty years or so that there has been some back-engineering (of E. T.
technologies) and the creation of this type of equipment. But it’s not
nearly as sophisticated yet as what the visitors have.
Margerrison:
SO, AS PART OF YOUR KNOWING ABOUT ALL THIS AND ALSO GOING PUBLIC WITH
IT, DO YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR SAFETY WITH THIS KIND OF STUFF? OR …
Mitchell:
Oh, I think those days are gone. That used to be a concern among the
people on the inside. But I don’t think they are knocking anybody off
(for talking) any more or doing drastic things to them.
Margerrison: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE INTENT OF THE ALIENS IS? IS IT HOSTILE OR PEACEFUL?
Not at all, it’s not hostile. It’s pretty obvious that if it were hostile, we would have been gone by now.
Margerrison: (laughs) REALLY?!
Mitchell: We could have been (gone by now).
Margerrison: WOW!
Mitchell: We would have no defense if that’s what their real intent was.
Margerrison: ARE WE TALKING – WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?
Mitchell:
You’ve seen some of the pictures. The pictures that I know of, some of
them are these little people that look strange to us. As far as I know
from my (professional) contacts that have had contact, that’s pretty
accurate.
Margerrison: DO YOU THINK OTHER PEOPLE WHO WERE INVOLVED WITH THE MOON LANDINGS KNOW ABOUT THIS?
Mitchell:
Some of them do. But again, like other people, if you are interested
enough to dig into it and want to know about it, you can know about it.
(Cell phone musical sound)
Margerrison: LISTEN, I KNOW YOU ARE A BUSY GUY AND I HEAR YOUR PHONE.
Mitchell: Yes, people don’t leave me alone. The phone is ringing all the time and I’m here by myself.
Margerrison: THIS IS EASILY ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT CONVERSATIONS OF MY LIFE – UNBELIEVABLE! I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR JOINING US.”
Mitchell: You bet.
Margerrison:
AND DR. ED MITCHELL, LISTEN – YOU’RE A FRIEND OF THE SHOW, IF YOU WANT
TO ACCEPT THAT FRIENDSHIP, AND WOW! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE CONVERSATION.
THANKS FOR JOINING US.
Mitchell: I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

Kerrang! Radio reported at its website:
“Producer Alex contacted NASA to confirm Dr. Mitchell's story, this was their reply:

‘Dear Alex,
NASA does not track UFOs.
NASA is not involved in any sort of cover-up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.
Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinion on this issue.
Thanks for the opportunity to comment.’”
