Lindy,

While our politic views may intersect, this is where we part perspective. Edgar Mitchell is a fine gentleman, but he speaks only his opinion while, at the same time, admitting he doesn't have proof for what he believes. I like the guy, but unless he can offer something more substantive than other people's unverifiable claims, there is no reason to think he's got any better claim on "The Truth" than the rest of us.

What's missing in all of this is any real and independently verifiable physical evidence that unequivocally affirms exterrestrial beings have dropped in for a visit here. In fact, not a single claim asserting E.T. is here, has ever been independently verified and found to be true.

Yes, people do, indeed, observe UFO's. But UFO's, by definition, are "unidentified." In otherwords, those observing them can never actually state what it actually was they observed.

In my view, claiming that the reason we don't have good evidence that actually "indentifies" what UFO's are is because the government is hiding it from us, doesn't hold water. Its an excuse for why those making such claims can't ptove what they claim.

I remain open to the possibility that E.T. is here, but I require something more substantive than Mr. Mitchell does in order to draw any firm conclusions.

Regards,
Donald
