Bright lights in corners of triangle clearly visible, but they also raise questions of their origins. Skeptics say these could be fires and the area within the triangle that's darkened is the what's already burned, though the lights seem oddly bright and not leaning in a direction that wind currents might do.

Funny!
H.M. Murdock said:here there is akin of prove that ufos exist.
well SETI sent signals into Space in code describing ourselves and our components. and the UFOs were polite enough to reply us in a crop circle, there they answered us and describd their components and basic info about them:
Poop-Loops said:That's your proof?
"Hey, these guys sent us a coded radio message. Do you want us to send one back?"
"No. Instead, let's make a crop circle."
Please.

Mitchell's interests include consciousness and paranormal phenomena. During the Apollo 14 flight he conducted private ESP experiments with his friends on Earth.[3] In early 1973, he founded the nonprofit Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) to conduct and sponsor research into areas that mainstream science has found unproductive, including consciousness research and psychic events.
Mitchell says that a teenage remote healer who lives in Vancouver and uses the pseudonym Adam Dreamhealer, helped heal him of kidney cancer at a distance. Mitchell said that while he never had a biopsy (the definitive test for cancer), "I had a sonogram and MRI that was consistent with renal carcinoma." Adam worked (distantly) on Mitchell from December of 2003 until June of 2004, when the "irregularity was gone and we haven't seen it since."[4]
Mitchell has publicly expressed his opinions that he is "90 per cent sure that many of the thousands of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from other planets"[5] and that UFOs have been the "subject of disinformation in order to deflect attention and to create confusion so the truth doesn't come out."[6] In 2004 he told the St. Petersburg Times that a "cabal of insiders" inside the US Government were studying recovered alien bodies, and that this group had stopped briefing US Presidents after John F. Kennedy.[7] He has said, that "We all know that UFOs are real, now the question is, where they come from."[8]
On July 23, 2008 Edgar Mitchell was interviewed on Kerrang Radio. Mitchell claimed the Roswell crash was real and that Aliens have contacted humans several times but that governments have hidden the truth for 60 years stating, "'I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real." In reply, a spokesman for NASA stated, "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe. Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue."[9] [10]
Edgar Mitchell is one of the astronauts featured in the documentary In the Shadow of the Moon.
As well as academic papers,[11] Mitchell has written two books: Psychic Exploration: A Challenge for Science (ISBN 0-399-11342-8) and The Way of the Explorer (ISBN 1-57270-019-X). In The Way of the Explorer, Mitchell proposed a dyadic model of reality.[12]
He is currently the Advisory Board Chairman of the Institute for Cooperation in Space, co-founded by Dr. Carol Rosin[13] and is a member of INREES.
The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was co-founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and industrialist Paul N. Temple[1] to encourage and conduct research and education programs on mind-body relationships for the purpose of expanding "human possibility by investigating aspects of reality—mind, consciousness, and spirit."[2] Institute programs include research in what they call "extended human capacities," "integral health and healing," and "emerging worldviews". This includes research into spiritual energy, meditation, consciousness, alternative healing, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities and life after death, among others.[3]
Headquartered in Petaluma, California, the Institute's membership is approximately 35,000.[4] The organization is situated on a 200-acre (80 hectare) campus housing an active retreat and learning center. [5]
The institute's name is derrived from noetic theory, which is concerned with intellectual or rational activity, and proposes the idea of an evolutionary shift in humans to a new species called Homo noeticus, possessing paranormal abilities.
The Institute publishes a quarterly review called Shift: At the Frontiers of Consciousness. However, the Institute lacks accreditation for scientific peer review.[6]
Cyrus said:<groan> This isn't good for NASA or science, or anyone, when he makes claims with no evidence other than "IM a Doctor, and I am an ASTRONAUT".
Its like watching those infomercials. "Hi, I am a doctor, take this homeopathics to cure all your problems".
Evo said:Edgar Mitchell is a long time loony toon. He founded the Noetic Institute, if that gives any clue.
Actually, I once read an article that made the point that astronauts by definition must be mentally unbalanced. To be the best of the best, and then to strive so hard to be the best of that lot requires an almost inhuman level of drive and sacrifice. But here's the kicker: on top of that, they are also expert compartmentalizers - since they'll then have to fool the psyhcologists into thinking that (other than their drive to strap themselves to a bomb), they are very well-adjusted and not a seething mass of competitive testosterone.gareth said:I am not a psychologist, so I don't know the exact border between 'sane' and 'insane', but I'm pretty sure they don't send clinically insane people into space. So unless he has gone crazy since the mission, it is unfair to make a judgment on his mental state.

WarPhalange said:I ask because I'd find it odd that there would be some sort of scheduling conflict between a very popular program, i.e. space flight, and something very top secret like testing new spacecraft .
gareth said:1) They are indeed craft manned by ET's and they're flying around earth, trying not to shock us too much by not landing on the whitehouse lawn
WarPhalange said:Don't humans do that too when they try to get closer to some wild animals? Just gradually get closer and leave some of their stuff around so the animal get used to the smell?
gareth said:But it begs the question, why not just wait? Why fly around Earth wasting your time being spotted once every few months, don't they have alien jobs to go to?
And the other question that crops up a lot, why bother with us at all? If we were an extremely technologically advanced civilisation and could travel throughout the universe, visiting other planets and races, would we bother going to a planet that are cave dwelers in comparison and slowly introduce ourselves over many years or even thousands of years? Just to say hi, your not alone in the universe, and then leave again? I suspect not, we would have better things to do.
There are a few interviews and stuff on youtube with a couple of astronauts, but from what I've heard they have just seen 'craft' which they have assumed to be intelligently controlled, flying in formation etc. But I suppose they could be natural phenomena that we don't know about yet but it's quite hard to imagine what, (enexplained changes in direction at high velocity etc).
I'm fairly certain there's just no way a description of any detail will lead to any kind of conclusion. Either you see it for yourself, or you simply take the conclusion of the person that did see it and trust that they can critically analyze at least as well as you can.WarPhalange said:If they don't describe what they saw, I can't take it apart. I need observations, not conclusions.
Yes but his 'description' of it will be based on that same information. It's not like his description will come unprocessed, directly from his visual input...WarPhalange said:An aerospace engineer might be as good a critical thinker as a meteorologist, but if they see a red flashing object going real fast their biases will give them different answers.
That's why I'd like to know what he saw vs. what he thinks it was he saw. It's essentially a multiple-choice question. If you see something, your brain asks "What it A, B, C, or D?" and tries to find the right answer. Well, there could be E and F, but your brain just doesn't know about it, so it can't take it into account.

http://www.phillyburbs.com/pb-dyn/news/113-09142008-1590562.htmlUFO sightings lead to star role on Discovery
By CHRISTOPHER RUVO
The Intelligencer
A national organization that investigates alleged UFO sightings says it has collected titillating data during days of interviews with witnesses of supposed other-worldly aircraft over Bucks County.
While that may encourage true believers, a Franklin Institute astronomer cautioned that folks shouldn't jump to the conclusion that little green men are circling over Southeastern Pennsylvania just because unidentified objects have been glimpsed in the night skies.
John Ventre was in Bucks County this summer with a film crew from the Discovery Channel interviewing residents after a rash of UFO sightings in the area were reported to the Mutual UFO Network, a Colorado-based nonprofit that investigates sightings around the country.
Ventre, MUFON's Pennsylvania coordinator, said much of what he learned in interviews was compelling. He spoke with those who reported the approximately 45 sightings in the Bucks County area during the past three months. [continued]
http://www.independent.ie/national-news/were-not-alone----politician--and-pilot--spot-ufo-1484949.htmlTHE truth is out there -- and if a senior garda, a Fianna Fail politician and a pilot are to be believed, aliens are keeping a close eye on us from above.
Dramatic eye-witness testimony was heard at a conference over the weekend which, delegates were told, provided "definitive" proof of recent UFO activity in the skies around north Dublin and Meath.
Footage, filmed on a camera phone at 10.35pm on August 3 near Dunboyne was also played and replayed to over 70 delegates who attended the fifth Irish International UFO conference in Carrick-on-Shannon.
The triangular shaped image, with lights at each point, which appeared to send a red laser-type light towards earth, drew gasps of amazement from the 70 or so delegates who attended the world premiere of the footage [continued]
