Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens HAVE made contact ...

... but that it has been covered up for 60 years.

Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.

Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
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.'


Pretty crazy huh. What do you guys all think?

I believe aliens are out there, however I'm a little skeptical on his personal story.

But I think it's a little bit weird how anyone can assume we're the only planet who has intelligent life in the entire universe. Something has to be out there!

Considering the odds, there has to be life out there somewhere. Intelligent or single celled, each would make me happy. This guy seems like kinda a nut job.

Considering what is required to become a dominant species, and what is required to cross the gulf of interstellar space...
I hope we never meet alien intelligence.

Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not. Both possibilities are overwhelming.

I hope we're not. I totally want to hang ten with a being from another mother... literally.

I think he may have gone a little senile with age...

:lol: Maybe that's what they want us to think... that he is crazy so no one believes him.

Amen to that.
Certainly wouldn't want to come across something that looked like this

I third Asthaloth's opinion. I thought the ending of ID4 would have been much better if the aliens had actually won. I'd have been laughing about it for days -- way more plausible that if they ever come, they'll kick our tushes!
