UFOs & Dr. Edgar Mitchell

Molly Hall of Molly's Astrology Blog alerted me to the recording of an interview with American astronaut Edgar Mitchell (see below). She wrote about him yesterday, 29 July, linked above.

I find it rather creepy that on 22 July I'd written about something Dr. Mitchell mentions in the interview of 23 July, The Roswell Incident, (HERE).

Neee-noo nee-noooo Twilight Zone? Or pure coincidence?

Molly has pointed out the salient points in Dr. Mitchell's natal chart - I'll post a chart from my own software here, so's to mention a couple of things:



I looked at the chart with skeptics in mind, to see whether Dr. Mitchell might be what the courts call "a credible witness". With Neptune in his first house and that stellium (cluster) of 4 planets in Cancer, he is going to be, if not psychic, then very sensitive and intuitive....might one also say imaginative? Well, one might if it were not for the fact that Neptune is being reined in by sensible, strait-laced Saturn trining natal Neptune in Virgo from Capricorn where Saturn is at its most pure and unadulterated. Dr. Mitchell may well have some hallmarks of a psychic, but I doubt he could ever be described as delusional, with Saturn's input so strongly featured.

I'd give Dr. Mitchell benefit of the doubt any time! In Molly's comment response to me on her blog she indicated a note of caution and need for balanced consideration. There is often more to these things than meets the eye, or ear, I agree - but not always. Sometimes something is what it is - simply that. The trouble is, we can never be quite sure, we have become cynical of government, with good reason, and wary of almost everything we see and hear. As with all things, time will tell!



PS -For anyone who hasn't time to watch the almost 10minute video, I've found a brief list of points made in the interview and copied them from
DISCLOSE TV

Edgar Mitchell says there IS life in the Universe.

He says we have been visited, and that UFOs have been covered up by the government for a long time.

The host almost has a stroke during the interview he's so shocked.

Edgar says it is a real phenomena.

He says he's been inside military circles and they know we've been visited and talk about it behind closed doors.

He says he's been involved in certain research committees and knows people who know the real story.

There is quite a bit of contact going on.

The Roswell crash was real.

Doesn't know if Disclosure will be this year or not...

Public acceptance is increasing.

Not all UFOs are of ET origin. Some are home-grown. But some are ET crafts.

He's not concerned about his safety talking about it openly anymore.

Alien intent is not hostile.

Some others involved in the Moon landing also know the truth.

The host made the point that this is the first time Edgar has stated so clearly that ET life exists and UFOs are real. He's hinted at it, but this is the first time ever...

The Roswell Incident

We visited Roswell, New Mexico in 2006, the UFO Museum and Research Center was then situated in the main street, in what appeared to be an old movie theater. A new center for the museum was under construction further down the road.

We read many of the numerous exhibits: newspaper articles, sworn affidavits and other printed material displayed around the walls. The main part of the museum deals, unsurprisingly, with the reported UFO crash near Roswell in 1947. There are, among many other things, reports and signed statements from witnesses who saw evidence of the crash and collected wreckage. Evidence of a request for "child size coffins". In several of the statements, witnesses reported seeing purple colored symbols, heiroglyphic-like, on a strip among the wreckage. There's a statement by a woman medical officer, detailed to take notes at an autopsy of bodies following the crash. She was later sent to England, and subsequently is said to have disappeared - or has not been heard from again.

Who can say how genuine any of the material is, after 60 years have passed? And yet, why would ordinary, everyday people have fabricated such a story, back in 1947 on a summer evening just before midnight, without reason? In those days there were few, if any TV programmes about extra-terrestrial phenomena to ignite the imagination. There were few sci-fi movies. What else but "a happening" could have sparked reports of such a bizarre occurence as this?

I've drawn up a chart for 4 July at 11.30pm. which seems to be the most popularly reported time and date for the actual incident:



Is this the kind of astrological atmosphere which could reflect something unusual and unexpected? The unusual and unexpected relate to Uranus, which was close (2 degrees) to Venus in Gemini at that time and in the 3rd house - house of communication. Neptune was strong - smack dab on the descendant in fact, which seems eerily appropriate for the descent to Earth of an alien (?) craft - Neptune relates to illusion, imagination, and mystical matters. The Moon in Aquarius, Mars in Gemini and Neptune in Libra formed a Grand Trine in Air signs- again, eerily approriate for anything pertaining to a flying craft. Sun in Cancer, close to the nadir at 11.30pm, trined Jupiter in Scorpio - Jupiter can relate to publication, expansion, exaggeration. So.... we could spin this either way. Neptune on the descendant may indicate illusion on the part of the observers of the incident, OR a later deception of the public by the authorities. Jupiter trining Sun may indicate exaggeration on the part of witnesses. I suspect Neptune is the key here, but the question remains - does it indicate illusion or deception in this case?

My husband and I discussed our feelings about the whole Roswell story later, after our museum visit. We came to the conclusion that "something" did happen on that night in 1947. The "something" was covered up by lies from those in authority at the time. Lies from government downward are not unknown, even in current history, which fact inclined us to believe at least some of the stories told by witnesses.

Another photo from the husband's camera: of one of the documents displayed (click on it for a larger, legible view) "The initial cover-up makes sense, but why continue it into the modern era?" That's a very good question!



More food for thought:
Interesting report of a deathbed revelation here.
