re: did astronauts observe ufo up there?
Mitchell and/or another astronaut(s) saw an unidentified "bogey" that
seemed to be observing them while travelling in a space mission.
If anybody has the reference/citation, then please post it.
The story is supposedly that NASA (Houston or Cape Canaveral) actually
shut-off the public reception of the audio feed when an astronaut
(White?) tells NASA about the sighting of a "bogey"
Caveat: I dunno if any of this gossip/report is true fact, tho I
betcha there are many ufo buffs (& non buffs) whom have been extremely
intrigued about the widely reported incident in the 1960s or the
1970s.
It is very possible this very incident is what has affected Dr
Mitchell's pursuits
Does anybody think that the politically (appropriation space research
funding) sensitive NASA would've picked him for astronaut training &
space-ball missions knowing of such a para-normal "ufo" interest?
What IS that "bogey," damneit, and what happened to a follow-up?
NASA makes the whole thing boring until it literally all explodes,
and then they will still boringly p.r. their shingle problem for
instance.
I do perceive they'd be generously funded by curious zillionaires (or
at least the ad hoc Carl Sagan-Jodie Foster Fans Foundation) if they
ever admit that what the astronauts saw was indeed something "para-
normal"
political note: the conventional religions in my U.S. would not put up
with (allow, tolerate) such an interest by the federal govt in my
conjecture
