during his presentation at the xcon this weekend, he made it crystal clear he had never seen anything himself during his voyages in space. i will have to go thru my recording to see exactly what it was he said constituted his "proof".
i will say this.... i like to size a man up as best i can. i got to meet him, shake his hand, and exchange a few brief words with him, before heading into his speech. the man is beyond brilliant, that much was frighteningly clear. he had a better grasp on things such as quantum physics and nonlocality/entanglement theories than most who dedicate their lives to that field of study, and who are half his age. more importantly, he spoke with a level of honesty and intelligence that was sadly missing form 95% of the others speaking that weekend. and this isnt the grandfather image at play here, either. he is simply and honestly 100% believable is what he says. even during his q&a, he was quick to downplay, even outright dismiss some of the woo-woo questions that came his way, including those from mr. bassett himself (who felt it necessary to sit on his knees in the back of the room and hog as much question time as he could. funny to see stephen politely shot down more than once by the frank answers to his questions. maybe next time, steve, you should try showing some respect and at least stand up to ask your elders some questions. hung over, much?).
it was a funny little dance between them. though dr. mitchell agrees in principal with steves call for disclosure, the sourcing of the phenomena comes from two different schools of thought. dr. mitchell does indeed recognize the validity of the ETH, but is intelligent enough to support other possible sources as well, and has the scientific and theoretical knowledge to be able to eloquently back up those secondary possible sources.
now, i havent seen the press' coverage yet of what dr. mitchell had to say to cnn. im interested to see if he caved in a bit and followed steve's party line. the above is what i came away with from his xcon presentation. im hoping his tone didnt change when a camera was shoved in his face by cnn.
