Edgar Mitchell is at it again. Yawn.

A lot of folks have been asking me if I heard that Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell has been talking about UFOs again, and CNN felt the need to carry the story. The thing is, this isn't a story. Mitchell isn't saying anything new, and it's certainly not surprising that CNN would write this fluff piece. I've written about this before: Mitchell is an Apollo hero, but that doesn't give him any authority at all when it comes to flying saucers. And, of course, he still has no real evidence at all for his claims. It's a rehash of the same tired old stories, and there aren't even blurry photos for this one. So this isn't news in any sense, and the article itself is a tad hysterical. I love the quotation from the UFO believer who says that UFOs are the "third rail of politics", that is, a topic ...
