Reality Check with Ross Coulthart

What was said
"When he was asked about this, he said one word, treason. He was told that it was treason to talk about these things."
Host Ross Coulthart revealed that Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell told a close friend he was warned it would be treason to discuss UFOs he witnessed during lunar missions. Mitchell reportedly believed all Apollo missions were followed by intelligently guided craft, and that Apollo 13 crew members were aware of being followed and possibly protected. This suggests a decades-long official prohibition on astronauts discussing anomalous encounters.
