Looks like we're seeing another detrimental effect of long term space flight.&nbsp; The cross country drive by one astronaut&nbsp; to 'talk' with her romantic rival put to rest the "I'm an astronaut so I can't be crazy" argument. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> </div>

I note that, unlike McClelland, he hasn't claimed to seen ET himself, just that his (unnamed) sources have. I separate him from McClelland who is now either an outright liar (or nuts) or blowing the whistle and exposing the Gov't as the liar (wrt ETs).&nbsp; I can't find hard evidence as to&nbsp;which McClelland is&nbsp;but I suspect that McClelland, who seems to&nbsp;be trying to sell a book&nbsp;and a website pushing such&nbsp;and was a UFO enthusiast before his NASA career, might be a tad biased.&nbsp; Looking at his website I get the sense of someone making himself out to be more important than he was.&nbsp; I'll have to research some more to come to any conclusion.&nbsp; That he claims that Lt&nbsp;Onizuka (deceased w/Challenger, how convenient) told him that he saw alien bodies&nbsp;and that Story Musgrave admits (wink, wink) that he has seen ETs (contrary to Mr Musgrave's own words) makes me doubt his veracity in this new instance. I find it convenient that the mission is some secret military operation but he, with his known background, was allowed to witness the video. Naturally "we" can never see the tapes or interview people because it's all hush hush secret.&nbsp; Again convenient.</p><p>But you are correct in that we need more astronauts to come forth. If the "dam bursts" and we get a dozen verifiable people all telling the same story the lid will indeed have been blown off. I remain skeptical but will rejoice should I ever see that day.</p><p>&nbsp;</p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p>-----------------------------------------------------</p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask not what your Forum Software can do do on you,</font></p><p><font color="#ff0000">Ask it to, please for the love of all that's Holy, <strong>STOP</strong> !</font></p> </div>

Evidently, pilots and airline workers are pressured by the federal government into staying silent. The government is attempting to deny its citizens the facts about UFOs, by suppressing witnesses who are within their control. Nobody is going to get to the facts with this type of policy in place. Apparently, airline workers at O&rsquo;Hare couldn&rsquo;t talk about the weather on this particular date Tuesday November 7, 2006 without fear of retribution.

Until recently, such a thorough analysis of telomere damage would have been prohibitively time consuming. But a new cell-staining technique called RxFISH (Rainbow cross-species Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization) allowed Cucinotta and his colleagues to look at many telomeres simultaneously.</font></p><p><font color="#800000">"We had this surprising result that iron particles are much more damaging to telomeres than gamma rays," Cucinotta says. He suggests that this difference might be due to the wider path of damage caused by iron nuclei. Telomere strands wrap into elongated loops, like little knots on the ends of chromosomes. Gamma rays can only strike one side of these loops or the other, but iron nuclei can affect both sides at the same time, inflicting lasting damage on the telomere&mdash;possibly causing its complete deletion. This explanation is still speculative, however.</font></p><p><font color="#800000">For example, astronauts who have had the greatest exposure to space radiation, such as the Apollo astronauts who traveled to the Moon, tend to get cataracts about 7 years earlier than other astronauts, on average. Cataracts are a common symptom of aging.</font></p><p><font color="#800000">Of greater concern is possible aging of the brain and spinal cord. Experiments with rats have shown that brain tissue is vulnerable to "aging" by iron-nuclei radiation--this according to research by Jim Joseph of Tufts University and Bernie Rabin at the University of Maryland. (See references below.)</font></p><p>http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn7753&nbsp;"</p><h5><font color="#800000">Serious brain damage</font></h5><p><font color="#800000">The study's lead author, the FAA's Wallace Friedberg, highlights other work suggesting that heavy nuclei in cosmic radiation cause "serious brain damage" in mice, leading to memory loss. ""</font></p><p>http://cosmic.lbl.gov/more/spacetravel.html</p><p><font color="#800000">Working at the Bevalac, scientists would use cell cultures and animal models to assess the biological consequences of exposures to the different particles that are components of the space radiation environment.<br /><br />In the past, risk has been estimated by dosage, a measure that gives little insight into the precise, long-term health effects when low doses are involved. Researchers say they can improve on this approach and intend to develop detailed knowledge able to pinpoint the damage that can be caused by even a single particle.<br /><br />Research would also be conducted on measures to counter radiation. When the charged particles (also known as ions) of heavy elements encounter a spacecraft, they are not stopped in their tracks. Instead, they either pass through, slowed but with their energy largely intact, or hit other ions and shatter into a shower of fragments. As heavy ions and their fragments pass through humans, damaging interactions can occur.<br /></font></p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center"><em><font color="#0000ff">- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -</font></em> </div><div class="Discussion_UserSignature" align="center"><font color="#0000ff"><em>I really, really, really miss the "first unread post" function.</em></font> </div> </div>

<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>The consequences of full dislosure about ET visitation / contact (if that's a fact,) would be enormous. Religious beliefs, all around the world, would quite possibly be thrown into disarray. Culture would be affected. People might panic and many might commit suicide.&nbsp;Some ufologists are of the view that what we are seeing at the moment, re the recent Larry King shows, the statement by the Vatican astronomer about ET, the claims by the former astronauts and all the reports that are hitting the media at the moment, may be part of a "gradual disclosure process," to gently get people used to the idea without it coming all as one big shock. &nbsp;It's also believed by some that movies such as Close Encounters, Independence Day etc and all the childrens cartoons and programmes containing aliens may be part of that process. Personally, I'm not sure about that, but there are some with that view.&nbsp; <br />Posted by Smersh</DIV></p><p><font size="2">I've been having similar thoughts about it.</font></p>

<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>It would certainly be very helpful for whistleblowers to have hard evidence, I agree. Short of smuggling out and leaking some classified documents or video footage though, I don't really know what evidence they can give. &nbsp;As others have mentioned, the more former astronauts that back up Mitchell and McClelland's claims, the more believable they will be. The only other former astronaut I can think of (NASA astronaut anyway, I'm not sure about Russian or other space agencies,) that have made claims is the late Gordon Cooper, but I believe he only claimed to have had a UFO sighting whilst flying an aeroplane.He did say the following though:&nbsp;"There certainly have been too many people, very qualified people and qualified groups of people, that have had interface of one type or another with extraterrestrial craft or beings," Cooper said. "To really deny that something is going on and deny that they definitely existwe need a little more explanation."&nbsp;http://www.space.com/news/spaceagencies/gordon_ufos_000728.htmlEven if Neil, Buzz or some of the other former astronauts were to come out with claims, they still would not be able to produce any hard evidence, as far as I can see. It would make the claims by the others more believeable though. &nbsp;&nbsp; <br />Posted by Smersh</DIV></p><p><font size="2">Good points!</font></p><p><font size="2">I am&nbsp;still thinking, though,&nbsp;that some will be skeptical even if seeing a real ET - they will then say that they saw remote-controlled robots of some sort...</font></p>
