"Aliens have made contact says Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell"

[Damage control]

FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens do exist.

And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.
Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency who had had contact with aliens described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.'

He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

Chillingly, he claimed our technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned "we would be been gone by now".

Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.

"I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real," Dr Mitchell said.

"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.

"I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit."

Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.

He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction."

Mr Margerrison said: "I thought I'd stumbled on some sort of astronaut humour but he was absolutely serious that aliens are definitely out there and there's no debating it."

Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.

In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.

'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'

I believe that somewhere out there in the universe there is life. Seems like a huge waste of space if it's just Earth with life on it.

I agree...totally.

There is just to much space out there for there not to be any other life anywhere else. Now have we run into them yet that I am not sure of.

Now I have an urge to go watch Contact again.

I don't remember who said it but if you believe in probability there has to be.

If 1% of the stars in the sky are similar to our sun.
And if 1% of those suns, has planets similar to our nine (or is it 8 now)
Then some of them are capable of supporting life.

So I feel that there is other life out there somewhere.

As far as visits?

Whos to say that in 200 years, we won't be able to travel outside of our solar system.
If even one of those planets with life started their civilization 200 years before us, thay most certainly could have the means to travel light years away.

Do I believe every backwoods hillbilly that calls George Noory at 2am, to explain how he and his dog were "violated" by the GRAYs? No.


There are lots of references in greek mythology, Native American Lore, and even the Bible that suggest an alien presence.

Since the universe is infinitely big, rules of probability are 100% towards infinity. Therefore, there are other life forms. My answer is YES.

Every couple months they have some news about water and ice on mars. With so many galaxies statistically we should be an anomially. If mars had/has water which is a pre-requisite for life (as we Know it) that makes two in our solar system alone. The tin hat of mine keeps the aliens away too..........
