Dr. Edgar
Mitchell, a former NASA astronaut and lunar landing command module pilot, phoned
in to a UFO sightings conference and offered a professional opinion concerning
the explosion of "orb" incidents sweeping the world.
His advice? "Be
patient." Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but, interestingly, Dr. Mitchell
also disagreed that these orb sightings are new.
Weighing in on
the matter over a speakerphone at an unidentified, though recent, conference on
the subject, Dr. Mitchell was asked his opinion of the significant increase in
the type of sighting becoming known as the "orb" or, even more specifically, the
"silver orb" UFO type which have definitely seemed to be on the rise,
if videos posted to YouTube are any indicator.
Although this
video lacks in audio quality, it's recorded well enough to convey that the
former lunar astronaut believes these sightings are nothing new, having been
reported for as least as long as he himself has been investigating the
phenomenon.
It's hard to
say exactly what his position is, and, due to the poor quality of the audio,
it's only supposition to conclude this respected and accomplished scientist, who
has actually flown to the Moon and back, feels that there may be a singularity,
or disclosure event on the horizon.
Is it possible
the military is getting ready to unveil a super-secret type of aircraft which
can explain the rise in these sightings? It's not clear.
The good doctor
can also be heard speculating as to whether these orbs are capable of some
technology which gives them the ability to shift their shape or even to "cloak"
themselves.
Either event
could be explained by new experimental aircraft which the general population
cannot even begin to comprehend, or he even may be alluding to contact with
another form of life existing in, and navigating through, our own Galaxy and
Universe.
No matter the
answer, it's a powerful statement from a respected scientist which should propel
the legitimacy of this debate into another realm.
No matter what
happens, the world is likely to see a great
many more "silver orb" videos being posted to YouTube, now that personal
communications includes high quality camera phones which are triggering the
explosion of sightings alluded to by the questioner.
Here's the
