Aliens exist, says NASA astronaut!

According to former NASA astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell, aliens really do exist. Dr. Mitchell was a crew member on the Apollo 14 mission and participated in the longest moonwalk performed by man, which lasted 9 hours and 17 minutes. In an interview with radio host Nick Margerrison, Mitchell had this to say about aliens:

"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.

"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."

He described the aliens as "little people" with large eyes and heads, resembling the alien icon ET. He also said that these aliens were far more advanced that humankind, and possessed the technology to eliminate us if they so desired: had they been hostile", he warned "we would be been gone by now," claimed Mitchell.

NASA's official stance on the matter does not corroborate Mitchell's theories. According to one spokesperson, "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."
