EM: Well, we've all seen the pictures of the so-called aliens – “little grays.” I have no first-hand evidence that that's true, but I do accept the fact that those seem to be the prevalent story.

LB: That does seem to be what the majority of people who say they've seen them agree upon. Now another one, this one I can see makes so much sense that our technology is not nearly as sophisticated and if they had been hostile we would have been gone by now.

EM: Well, if they proved to be hostile, and wanted to do so, they probably could. But there's utterly no evidence that they really are hostile.

LB: Like you said, if they were, and they were more sophisticated than we are, then what are we doing still sitting here?

EM: The craft they they've seen are basically are smaller crafts, they're not warships or anything. And most of the UFO sightings, you know hundreds of military pilots were told to shut up about it, and airline pilots and police officers at night and people who have seen real crafts and I'm not talking about Venus or Mars or a star or planet but who have seen a real craft, they're generally not described as anything like any of ours.

LB: You mentioned in the beginning that they actually found in the Roswell case live beings. Did anyone tell you what happened with that?

EM: That's what I understand. Apparently that individual did survive for some time, as far as I know. But I can't go further than that because I don't know any more.

LB: What do you think of NASA's statement that “Dr.Mitchell is a great American but we don’t share his opinions”?

EM: I can understand if they think I was attributing anything to the NASA organization, or deriving anything from the NASA organization, they can certainly say that. And it's true because none of my experience or what I said relates to NASA at all.

LB: You were only in the astronaut program for a fairly short period of time.

EM: For seven years, that's true.

LB: This is just fascinating information and I'm really glad that it's really kind of bubbling up even though it might be making your life a little crazy right now. I really do believe mankind has reached a point in its evolution to where finding out this is real isn't going to make us all freak out.

EM: I totally agree with that. It's about time and if indeed, as we now believe, we're not alone in the universe and there are other species and intelligent species throughout the universe, and the universe is much bigger than we thought it was, this is good knowledge. It's important knowledge.

LB: It really is. We're out of time so quickly, it went so fast. Are there any last statements you'd like to make that we haven't talked about?

EM: Well, I think the only thing that people should understand is that our star system has a finite lifetime and we've got to continue our space exploration. We only have a couple more billion years to be on the planet. We don't have to rush it but eventually we have to be off this planet if we want to survive as a species.
