Update - August 2, 2008
The Dr. Edgar Mitchell Phenomenon
www.paradigmresearchgroup.org/Mitchell_Media_Coverage.htm
An extraordinary media cycle is presently
underway centered upon affirmations by
Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell of an
extraterrestrial, non-human intelligence
engaging the human race. His comments were
made in an interview on July 23 on Kerrang!
Radio out of London. On "The Night Before
with Nick Margerrison" Dr. Mitchell only
repeated what he has said many times before,
but the reality is the vast majority of the
audience and the media in Europe were
hearing it for the first time. This media
storm was triggered by the program and a
press release by either Kerrang! Radio or
its parent company, the German media giant
Bauer Consumer. It was supported by an
international press release by PRG the next
morning at 9 am.
PRG is archiving all Mitchell coverage and
interviews at the above URL and will work to
expand the story and work it up the media
ladder. So far the major U. S. papers (New
York Times, Washington, Post,
Los Angeles Times, etc.) are either
staying away from the story or relegating it
to bloggers.
The most recent Mitchell interview was this
evening, August 2, on Fox News' Hannity and
Colmes. It will be replayed at midnight
EST.
AOL News Poll
http://news.aol.com/article/astronaut-claims-alien-cover-up/101479
As part of an article on Dr. Edgar Mitchell
AOL News ran an online poll which was IP
address limited (multiple voting required
deleting all cookies). The results were
quite astounding. Here they are:
Do you believe that life exists elsewhere in
the universe? Yes (128,631) 93%
No (9,564) 7%
Do you think Earth has been visited by
aliens? Yes (110,119) 81% No
(26,039) 19%
Gary McKinnon Loses Extradition Appeal in
the UK House of Lords
http://tinyurl.com/5rqxck
Computer hacker Gary McKinnon is one step
closer to extradition to the United States
to face trial for hacking government
computers looking for, among other things,
information about UFOs and government
cover-up. It is assumed Mr. McKinnon will
appeal his case to the European Court and
take all stalling measures possible to delay
extradition until after a new administration
has taken office in the United States - his
hope being the new administration will drop
extradition and leave the matter to UK
courts.
PRG some time ago informed McKinnon's
attorney that should a trial take place in
the United States, PRG executive director
Stephen Bassett will be happy to assist the
defense including testifying on behalf of
the defendant. It is assumed the U. S.
government will move heaven and earth to
avoid the UFO/ET issue being introduced into
such a trial. Much effort has been made in
the past to get the UFO/ET issue into a
court of law as part of a high profile
case. It has never happened.
PRG is archiving the extensive coverage of
the McKinnon case at:

Debunker Archive
PRG will soon begin a new project - creating
an online archive of printed, video and
audio comments by the most notable UFO/ET
debunkers during the past 60 years. There
are three reasons for this project: 1) begin
assembling a history of UFO/ET debunking,
2) provide media producers an easy way to
see what they are getting when they book any
of the living debunkers as counterpoint to
researchers/activists, and 3) have such an
archive at the ready when post-Disclosure
these same people attempt to recast
themselves as the world's leading experts on
all things extraterrestrial (and you can be
sure they will since they have no
boundaries).
As archiving projects go, this will be a bit
more difficult than most. Any assistance
would be welcome. If you have or know where
PRG can find printed, audio and/or video
examples of the "debunker's greatest hits,"
please pass them on to PRG. Contact
