Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta had dealings with two high-profile space enthusiasts seeking to get to the bottom of extraterrestrial life, according to newly-released emails, including one former astronaut who warned against a “war in space.”
The messages, sent by punk band member Tom DeLonge and the late Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, were included in a batch of more than 4,000 emails obtained from Podesta’s inbox and published by WikiLeaks over the last several days.
The emails reveal Mitchell, the sixth astronaut to walk on the moon, first writing to Podesta in January 2015, when the latter was still serving as a counselor to President Obama. “I understand you are leaving the administration in February. It is urgent that we agree on a date and time to meet to discuss disclosure and zero point energy, at your earliest available [sic] after your departure,” Mitchell wrote.
Zero point energy is a theoretical method of reaching a practical speed during space travel by “warping” space. Mitchell added that he would bring his “Catholic colleague Terri Mansfield,” who describes herself online as the director of a task force on extraterrestrial intelligence, “to bring us up to date on the Vatican’s awareness of ETI.”
Mitchell wrote a second time in August 2015, apparently in advance of a scheduled talk with Podesta online. “Because the war in space race is heating up, I felt you should be aware of several factors as you and I schedule our Skype talk.
“Remember, our nonviolent ETI from the contiguous universe are helping us bring zero point energy to Earth,” Mitchell wrote. “They will not tolerate any forms of military violence on Earth or in space.
“We’re arguably closer than ever to war in space,” he added. “Most satellites orbiting Earth belong to the U.S., China and Russia. And recent tests of anti-satellite weapons don’t exactly ease the scare factor … Take a moment to think about everything satellites do. GPS, surveillance and communications all depend on them.”
Mitchell died in February 2016. It was unclear how Podesta responded to the missives, or whether WikiLeaks obtained his responses.
The messages also revealed Podesta had apparently collaborated on a documentary about UFOs produced by a former member of the band Blink 182. “Tom DeLonge here, The one who interviewed you for that special documentary not to long ago,” DeLonge wrote in an October 2015 message.

He said he wanted to introduce Podesta to more UFO enthusiasts. “I would like to bring two very ‘important’ people out to meet you in DC. I think you will find them very interesting, as they were principal leadership relating to our sensitive topic. Both were in charge of most fragile divisions, as it relates to classified science and DOD topics.
“Other words, these are A-Level officials,” DeLonge said. “Worth our time, and as well the investment to bring all the way out to you. I just need 2 hours from you. Just looking to have a casual, and private conversation in person.”
It was again unclear whether Podesta replied to the inquiry, but a second message sent by DeLonge in January 2016 suggests Podesta did. “He mentioned he’s a ‘skeptic’, he’s not. I’ve been working with him for four months,” DeLonge wrote, without providing any indicator of who he was referencing.
“I just got done giving him a four hour presentation on the entire project a few weeks ago. Trust me, the advice is already been happening on how to do all this. He just has to say that out loud, but he is very, very aware as he was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.
“He not only knows what I’m trying to achieve, he helped assemble my advisory team. He’s a very important man,” DeLonge added.
Podesta, who served as President Clinton’s chief of staff for three years and began as Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman in April 2015, has long made headlines for talking about the prospect of alien life and arguing the government should declassify information related to it.
WikiLeaks published more than 2,086 emails obtained from Podesta on Friday and another 2,050 on Monday. Podesta and other Clinton campaign officials have declined to comment on the veracity of the information, saying that they refused to look and emphasizing the messages were obtained illegally.
