R.I.P. Edgar Mitchell

Apollo astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the moon, Dr. Edgar Mitchell has died at the age of 85. In 1971, Mitchell piloted the Apollo 14 mission which landed on the moon, earning him a myriad of awards including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and a place in the Science Hall of Fame. Mitchell differed from most of his fellow astronauts due to his strong advocacy for the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrials. Although he did not see a UFO during his space travels, Mitchell believed the evidence for the phenomenon was overwhelming. He was also an ardent researcher of consciousness and the nature of psychic phenomena, founding the exceptional Institute for Noetic Sciences in 1973. Mitchell's contributions towards the understanding and acceptance of paranormal phenomena cannot be understated and all students of the unexplained owe him a tremendous debt of gratitude.
