Edgar Mitchell Pussies Out, Gives NASA Camera Back

-
Edgar Mitchell, possibly the most outspoken of the NASA moon landing astronauts was originally set on selling a camera that was given to him as a token of appreciation for his dedicated service to the government.  The data acquisition camera was up for auction at the asking rate of $60-80 grand.  Unfortunately, Mitchell's handy Apollo 14 tool was ripped back by NASA, who claimed the equipment was still, technically, their property.  Initially, Mitchell was fighting the good fight to be able to maintain custody of the item, but eventually succumbed to the legal pressure and settled.

Mitchell likes to talk to the media about aliens, UFOs, etc. in his life since the 1971 landing.

NASA wins again.  Dammit.

UPDATE Allison Michelle Ernst is the only one brave enough to fight for real justice in Holmes case

UPDATE RE: THIS POST Most importantly I want to state this is this blogs MOST VIEWED post, for some reason, probably because of the strangeness that was Allison Michelle Ernst (ernest).  I have reached a conclusion that this was one of MANY hoax acts committed on the public for reasons I will not get in to now because I'm not interested in the politics of this case anymore.  It's all a shit-show, fake as could be and the entire James Holmes case was merely a act working against your civil rights.  I concluded after the many hours of videos, and various other reports I've seen that this case was a put-on.  Allison was nothing more than another actor who simply just made this weird case more weird.  Agree to disagree, HIS-Story agreed upon. FMPU has a big interest in the Colorado shooting, but generally we've steered clear of re-posting much the junk floating around and swirling the bowl. The tragic event has a lot of people scratching their heads, I know I'm...

Information about Gary McKinnon's UFO findings

FMPU has followed the Gary McKinnon case since it first broke. The Scottish pothead computer hacker claims to have viewed government information that was classified. Several rumors abound as in the linked blog post claims to have all the "inside scoop" -- which is, in fact, inside poop. The most revealing part of the article is that Gary used a dial-up modem to perform the hacks into the NASA’s Johnson’s space center website, where he collected/viewed sensitive data - but he was unable to perform saves on the most critical information (pictures of cigar shaped UFOs).  Drats. The rest seems like speculation, though over there at the Open Minds article it reads a bit differently.  As if you have time right? If you do go to the article, make sure to check out the comments.   This one, by Santi, says a lot: Santi says: April 16, 2010 at 1:30 pm Articles like this are garbage. This is the reason UFO enthusiasts are looked as kooks. Nowherehas Gary Mckinno...

NASA - STEREO Spies First Major Activity of Solar Cycle 24

NASA - STEREO Spies First Major Activity of Solar Cycle 24 By: Laura Layton Saturday, June 6th 2009 NASA′s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) spacecraft has spotted the first major activity of the new solar cycle. On May 5, 2009, STEREO-B observed a Type II radio burst and a bright, fast coronal mass ejection (CME) emanating from the far side of the sun. The activity originated in a solar active region that rotated into view from Earth on May 8. The following is a detailed look at the initial report from NASA. A Type II radio burst is a discharge of radio waves that are emitted when shocks are accelerated by a CME—the sudden eruption of energy and solar material. The active region appears well above the sun′s equator, at about 30 degrees latitude, which indicates it is part of the new solar cycle. Activity from the previous solar cycle would appear nearer to the sun′s equator. These regions also have a distinct magnetic organization characteristic of new cycle region...

Some of the die-hards may find this offensive, but FMPU has received a couple links to a couple "lawsuits" posted on the net. I suppose my challenge would be to let me see a letter from Mr. Holmes.
