the sixth man to walk on the moon. He did this

Bachelor of Science degrees, one from the U.S.
Naval Postgraduate School and one from Carnegie

the University of Akron, Carnegie Mellon
University and Embry-Riddle University. He began
training at NASA in 1966 and served in the US Navy
between 1953 and 1972. 

Mitchell's academic interests include
consciousness and paranormal phenomena. In early
1973, he founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences.

and sponsor research into areas that mainstream
science has ignored, including psychic events.

written two books; Psychic Exploration (ISBN 
0399113428) and The Way of the Explorer (ISBN
157270019X).

He is currently the Advisory Board Chairman of the

Dr. Carol Rosin.

Mitchell has publicly expressed his opinions that
"he is 90 per cent sure that many of the
thousands of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs,
recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from
other planets"

"subject of disinformation in order to deflect
attention and to create confusion so the truth
doesn’t come out."
