[Utah-astronomy] Edgar Mitchell

I had my list mail turned off for over a week as I was very busy working on a business venture, so I'm not sure if there has been any discussion on the recent comments of Dr. Edgar Mitchell. http://www.wesh.com/news/16998969/detail.html Although not mentioned in this article, I've read that he has first-hand knowledge of the existence of aliens. Has anyone else been following this? Could this be merely the rant of an old man seeking publicity? Certainly he has the credentials to speak with authority, being a former Apollo astronaut who has walked on the moon.
