Space...the final frontier

Newsvine - Alien contact covered up, says Apollo veteran Edgar Mitchell
Apollo 11 was very scary. As an astronaut following the almost disastrous Apollo 13 mission, Apollo 14, he has a right to believe what he might. However, it might be disingenuous to exploit what Carl G. Jung called a "manifestation of the collective unconscious" i.e., one of those archetypal parts of the human mind that have come out of fear and culture over and over. Like meeting a 5 foot tall bipedal dinosaur, "what might have been" I walked into being moved to an exhibit in Canada. Bringing it up makes the only thing "we have to fear is fear itself" subside perhaps. In that case there's a "wink...wink" part of him that keeps us going boldly where no one has gone before. He certainly has. Growing up in the "Cradle of Aviation" where the LEM came from, I recall seeing a UFO from nearby Gyrodyne, a developer of unmanned helicopters for submarine hunting and "Snoopy" for TV spying in Vietnam, a demo at San Clemente said to have changed President Nixon's view on winning the "war" there. I once saw one flying over the potato fields next to Stony Brook University piloted by one "star man" across the Long Island Sound from Bridgeport, Connecticut and the famous Sikorsky helicopter factory.
