Astronaut Edgar Mitchell has revealed to me what he believes is
the reason that Admiral Wilson is now denying what he previously
said.

He refers me to an article in Jane's Defence Weekly entitled
"Pentagon's Hidden Budget" by defense analyst Bill Sweetman in
which he discusses Special Access Programs in great detail.

http://www.janes.com/defence/news/jidr/jidr000105_01_n.shtml

Dr Mitchell points to a quote from that article:

"An unacknowledged SAP - a black program - is a program which is
considered so sensitive that the fact of its existence is a 'core
secret', defined in USAF regulations as 'any item, progress,
strategy or element of information, the compromise of which would
result in unrecoverable failure'. In other words, revealing the
existence of a black program would undermine its military value."

Dr Mitchell told me: "The UFO program that the admiral sought
would be in this category. Thus by law he would be required to
deny the existence of such a program. For a core secret SAP, even
a "no comment" would be a breach of security."

Dr Mitchell believes that the Billy Cox blog above, together with
the Jane's article "tells it all".

He writes: "They somewhat go together and validate the entire
episode."

He adds: "This SAP designation is the reason it is so difficult
to get any truthful information to the public. NO INFORMATION is
exempt from containment"

I understand Dr Mitchell has no wish to fan any flames of
conflict between he and Admiral Wilson who is, as he put it,
 "caught in the political security rules dilemma as is anyone
with inside knowledge whether they like it or not."

Dr Mitchell has given full permission for me to post his
comments:

"The more people and media get to see this, the sooner we can
break open the alien visitation issue."
