Dr. Mitchell's Quotes
"There's not much question at all that there's life throughout the universe, we are not alone at all. I'm most assured about that."1
"It's been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it."1
