Description

Mitchell publicly expressed his opinions that he was "90 percent sure that many of the thousands of unidentified flying objects (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unidentified_flying_object), or UFOs, recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from other planets".[^([33])](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edgar_Mitchell#cite_note-33) *Dateline NBC* (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dateline_NBC) conducted an interview with Mitchell on April 19, 1996, during which he discussed meeting with officials from three countries who claimed to have had personal encounters with extraterrestrials.

He offered his opinion that the evidence for such "alien" contact was "very strong" and "classified" by governments, who were covering up visitations and the existence of alien beings' bodies in places such as Roswell, New Mexico. He further claimed that UFOs had provided "sonic engineering secrets" that were helpful to the U.S. government. Mitchell's 1996 book, *The Way of the Explorer*, discusses his journey into mysticism and space.
