Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell – the sixth man to walk on the moon – laid a bombshell on ABC News with the comment "the UFO phenomenon is real" last July. Yet why didn't other major media pick up on this fascinating story? Wouldn't the public be interested to know? Wouldn't you want to know?
The article on ABC's website leads with "Of the more than 6 billion people in the world, only 12 have ever set foot on the moon." Edgar Mitchell is a member of that elite group of 12 space pioneers. Astronauts are some of the most highly trained and respected members of our society, yet the major media seems to feel that the comments on UFOs of this most esteemed American on the subject are not newsworthy.
There are a few exceptions, including the ABC News article mentioned. Below are key quotes from this excellent article on the revelations of Edgar Mitchell regarding UFOs.

last JulyHe's been saying the same thing for years, so now it's no longer news. :')
Yes and no.
The ridicule strategy has dealt handily with the leaks.
Stanton Friedman has proven that the government CAN keep some things quite out of the public domain for many decades.
I know of at least one shocking thing that was never publicized.

Thanks. Thanks.
Well, if you're Dennis Miller (he says it daily on his radio show), I just want to let you know that your show is slowly getting better as you slowly figure out and begin to grasp real conservative principles. Living in Montecito will do that to a rich independent thinker!
Given what I've read about UFOs, I'd bet money on the notion that we don't know so much about esoteric physics. By the way, I majored in physics.
Even Albert Einstein said, "Knowledge is the measure of the radius of the Sphere of Ignorance". He also said, "Imagination is more important than knowledge". Another interesting statement, "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education".
If would be silly and arrogant to assume that we have mastered the Cosmos. We can't even get income tax correct.
True but my point still stands. Between the USA, Canada, USSR and China there was a lot of land mass for an alien spacecraft to come down in or even to crash in. None of those governments seem too interested in funding research into what you refered to as esoteric physics.
