Beerman Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,24070088-13762,00.html FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens 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.'

bootis Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I have a profound respect and admiration for anyone who is an Astronaut and for someone, the selct few (12 I beleive) who have set foot on the Moon. That includes Mitchell, however, I think he has gone off the deep-end here. His comments and claims are outrageous. Why he would make this claim is beyond me.

gi7omy Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Bootis - just because a government tells you something isn't there doesn't mean it's not really there An example: during the early 60s I worked on maintenance on the RAF Early Warning Radar Chain on the east coast of England and one day, I heard a shout of 'Oh s***t - look at THAT!' from the Flight Sergeant and I wandered over to the workshop monitor to have a look. What I saw was a radar trace that went from one side of the screen to the other in ONE minute. That equates to 30,000 mph approximately (the radius of the Type 80 search head was 230 - 250 miles). Now it wasn't a meteorite or there would have been a huge BANG somewhere as the echo was completely solid. It was in the atmosphere and holding a steady altitude judging by the size of the blip (it was travelling too fast for any of the height finders to track it). Now I have seen spurious echoes before and since - but that was not one of those. There was a photographic record of the entire incident - but, on orders, that was cut out and the film spliced and the only copy was sent to the Air Ministry. The only come back we ever got was 'It never happened and don't talk about it' People will try to say that was a fake - but believe me - I was one of maybe 50 or 60 people who actually SAW that radar plot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ggrussell Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Just like here in the USA, the gov has denied AREA51 really exists which is a joke cause anyone can now use Google Earth to see it. I think it's time our governments stop lying to the public and give full disclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbrewst Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I agree Gary but I think it'll be a while before they do. Do we realize what will happen if they do.It will basically shake a lot of people's religious fundamentals to the core.People have been told by their religious leaders and their books that we are it.God (or whomever) created us and that's it.Earth is a unique place that he created life on and there is no other. Now think of what happens if it came to pass that there is life elsewhere.That pretty much shoots down those basic religious tenants.Chaos results.People don't know what to believe any more.They start to ask questions.OMG-what a nightmare. Sure,that's a bit over the top but it's one of the things to consider.And with the overtly religious people we have leading our government these days I don't think it's out of the question for them to take it seriously. To quote Jack-"You can't handle the truth",and I believe that's the way our government (and others) thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbrewst Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Maybe they're waiting for us to develop warp capabilities before first contact...lol. Personally,I agree.I can't believe that in the immense expanse of our universe and the trillions and trillions of stars out there that ours is the only one that developed a solar system with a planet capable of supporting some kind of life form.If that is true then that also leads to believing that one of those life forms has to be more advanced than ours.So,when they want us to know they're out there they'll let us know.

No worries on my edited post but I basically said what you did. Just because there may be intelligent life out there doesn't mean there's no God. And who's to say we're intelligent?
