Close Encounters Cover-Up

Edgar_Dean_Mitchell-FULL.jpg

Edgar Mitchell, the sixth astronaut to walk on the moon, has claimed that alien contact has been made, but is being covered up by an elite cabal within the US government. Such a conspiracy claim is nothing new, but coming from an astronaut with a doctorate in science from MIT and who walked on the moon, makes it worth paying unique attention to.

Mitchell's post-NASA career is fascinating. Though he was raised as a Southern Baptist, his experiences in space and on the moon summoned feelings of interconnectness that trancended the traditional religious beliefs he grew up with. He has since founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences, an organization that sponsors research into the powers of conciousness. The institute explores "phenomena that do not necessarily fit conventional scientific models, while maintaining a commitment to scientific rigor." Mitchell also claims that he has been healed remotely by a "dreamhealer" who helped cure him of cancer, apparently with success. He also sits on the board of the Institute for Cooperation in Space.

My favorite thing about this

My favorite thing about this story are the comments from the peanut gallery of TampaBay.com...

Other astronauts have made similar claims.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlkV1ybBnHI

More weird NASA stuff

Interesting, I just came upon the press release, below.

Also, I am currently reading Richard Hoagland's book "Dark Mission", which argues that NASA is an occult plot constructed by Free Masons, former Nazi scientists, and alchemists, and they have hidden their discoveries of alien technology on the moon and elsewhere. In the book, he notes that the astronauts who walked on the moon, including Mitchell, were unable to remember anything about the experience of being on the Moon, even under hypnosis. Their "debriefing" may have wiped them of their memories.

NASA Cover-Ups Continue… NASA Dismisses Former Apollo Photo and Data Manager from JPL Educational Program Missing Apollo Data to be Shown at National Press Club Briefing Oct. 30 Dr. Ken Johnston, former Manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during NASA’s manned Apollo Lunar Program, was abruptly terminated Tuesday morning, October 23rd, from JPL’s prestigious “Solar System Ambassador” (SSA) Program. All evidence of Dr. Johnston’s exemplary 4-year participation in the NASA outreach effort to “communicate the importance of NASA aerospace programs to the public around the world” has been scrubbed from the official JPL SSA website, without formal notification of Dr. Johnston as to cause.

Johnston is a key participant in the upcoming October 30th, 2007 Enterprise Mission press briefing at the National Press Club in Washington, DC (Zenger Room, 9:00 AM). At that time, Johnston will reveal how NASA ordered him to destroy key Apollo lunar images and data more than 40 years ago, rather than allow them to be preserved for academic and public study. Johnston will testify how he disobeyed these NASA orders, secretly preserving the critical Apollo images—and the never-officially-published lunar discoveries recorded on them. According to AP, NASA is currently embroiled in a similar controversy with Congress because of the agency’s planned destruction of supporting data from a recent aviation safety study.

Johnston’s startling Apollo allegations have recently appeared in a new book, “Dark Mission: the Secret History of NASA,” co-authored by former NASA consultant and CBS Science Advisor, Richard C. Hoagland and Mike Bara, an aerospace engineering consultant. According to Kay Ferrari, JPL Director of the SSA Program (in a phone call to Johnston last week), it was Johnston “being quoted [as] criticizing NASA in Hoagland’s new book, ‘Dark Mission,’” that prompted her to ask for Johnston’s resignation from the SSA Program. When Johnston refused, citing First Amendment protections of free speech afforded all NASA employees, even those at JPL, Ferrari apparently decided to remove him arbitrarily from the SSA Program this week without cause.

JPL’s ultimate decision to fire Dr. Johnston was initiated, according to Ferrari’s phone call, “by an initial inquiry to JPL from James Oberg, of NBC News.” Oberg is a former NASA contractor and a colleague of Johnston’s at NASA’s Manned Spacecraft Center during the Apollo Program in the 1970’s. According to Ferrari, Oberg, in his e-mails, raised “serious issues regarding Johnston’s credentials” and his “crackpot accusations” against the agency. Oberg’s NASA contractor history begs ethical questions regarding his efforts to get Johnston terminated, based on Johnston’s testimony in “Dark Mission” and intention to present further “missing” Apollo images and data at the National Press Club. Dr. Johnston will present documentation of his claims, credentials and key role at NASA October 30th.

Hoagland, 2012, and honeybees

When I was researching honeybee deaths and Colony Collapse Disorder this spring, I came across some interesting theories from Hoagland on the baffling disappearances. As I understand it, Hoagland believes that the nearing of our solar system to the galactic center is causing interference with the bees homing abilities according to a phenomenon called the "torsion field effect." Click here for an in-progress essay on the subject.

Daniel, what's your take on Hoagland after reading some of his book? I have withheld my judgment of him so far, as I've only given his writing a cursory look...

Hoagland

He has a curious fixity, but there is something compelling in his ideas. I am somewhat at a loss to know what to say about this one. I have asked a friend of mine, Jay Weidner, to write a review of Hoagland's new book, as he has been researching these issues for many years.

The most bizarre part is perhaps the images, which Hoagland claims reveal giant glass domes with struts and support structures. It is very difficult for me to see this in the images. Also, the incredible virtuosity that would be required to guide the moon shots in precise coordination with Sirius and other constellations seems almost impossible to imagine. However it may be "other dimensional" forces that are compelling such precise alignments, if they do have legitimacy.

I have been having strange moon conversations and explorations ever since the lunar eclipse at Burning Man. The concept of "lunacy" or moon-madness is an interesting, and perhaps relevant, one, in terms of Hoagland's work and other theories.

 

Georges Bataille talked about how the Sun is the Enlightenment symbol of rationality, but if you actually stare into it, you go mad. Perhaps too much contemplation of the Moon incites a similar reaction?
