Aliens exist and have visited Earth

So says moon walker

IT'S OFFICIAL, aliens exist according to one of the few people to have walked on the moon.

Dr Edgar Mitchell has confirmed their existence in a recent Kerrang! radio interview.

Mitchell, along with the 1971 Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, hold the record for the longest ever moon walk - clocking in at nine hours and 17 minutes.

He told radio host Nick Margerrison: "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."

"This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction," he continued.

Supposedly the ETs were similar to the traditional image of an alien with a small frame, large head and eyes.

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

Margerrison later 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."

It is not the first time Mitchell has discussed the possibility of alien life, previously raising the possibility of alien technology in the hands of humans, over ten years ago.

NASA has denied claims of a cover-up, stating: "Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue."

We suspect the men-in-black will visit, prior to him retracting his statements. µ

They left again?

"have been visited"
So they left without an interview on national TV
and answering important questions like:
"Where do you buy new shoes?"
or "Why are you carnying a 42 towels with you?"

I do believe!

I believe that America never actually touched foot on the moon.
So that's the end of that.

Um...

Yeah.. okay. I don't know what to say about this article, really...

Ya the MiB have been notified.

Earth is not ready for a more advanced level of technology. I am currently recommending that earth not join the galactic federation at this time until it matures.

Earth still gets a failing grade as it stands but there is still hope.

Opinion VS fact

NASA has denied claims of a cover-up, stating: "Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue."

Dr Mitchell do not have an ''opinion'', he was actually there, in space, on the moon, saw what he saw and express himself on the subject on a factual basis. His statements are either true or false, but there are not opinions.

I hate when institutions with absolute power such has NASA deliberately twist words like that. They are a science centric organization and should articulate their argumentation based on science. Don’t be content to simply tell me Mitchell is wrong, prove it to me scientifically! They obviously assume we are all stupid with that kind of retarded answer and they are obviously wrong... We know that you know, NASA…

Aliens exist and have visited Earth...

It's not impossible.

Let's reverse the situation... say there's a primitive life in planet (put geeky name here) in nearby galaxy and we have the technology to go there. Would we not go there in discrete, not knowing whether the reception would be hostile or not?

Since one of them never return back from Area 51, I guess their next 'visit' will be less friendly :|

Nahalem is Alien Coming Sooner.

Although Mr. mitchell might be swill, its scary what thinking skills astronault might NOT possess, No Offense to man who endured such extreme danger.. However, UFO is nOT alien per se'. However heres New update on nahalem:

Originally scheduled to launch in November or December this year, Intel's Nehalem-based Bloomfield processors will now launch in September ,Bloomfield can be bought then in limited quanities. It has three double eyes for memroy or Hecto ddr3 slots & new memory controller device. It all adds up to 30% more than Todays Best Aliens..

Ahso, There NO Affordable CPU after Nahalem for Long, Long time. Dunnington is way too much, yet defineately gonna stomp those numbers, yet for $3 grand, who cares. Amd, if it survies till Bulldozier release, well.....

Is viral marketing going too far? This is all just to hype 'I Want to Believe'. The truth is out there.

he probably made it up since he's bored about talking about something he did over 30 years ago.

Sting famously joked that he did Tantric sex, and people are still believing that even though he has said that it was only a wind up.

If aliens do exist then maybe they could give us an alternative to oil, war and cancer?

Why!!

If he truely belived in what he saw, as in their technology being far more sophisticated than ours, why would he be saying things like "had they been hostile, we'd be gone by now". If he thought we seriously had alien enemies, you'd be making it very obvious that we couldn't defend ourselves at all.

There's nothing new about this

Edgar Mitchell has been on record for quite some time saying that he's witnessed UFO's and believes them to be alien space craft. He's also not the only person to have gone into space to say so and certainly not the only former government employee to say so. Gordon Cooper, the last american atleast to go into space alone as part of the Mercury project, also has gone on record with such statements as well as former russian cosmonaughts. Hell if i remember correctly Cooper even has said that while serving at a military base in California he watched one land, hang out for a few minutes and then take off again.

Given there have been literally millions of reports over the last few hundred years all over the world, many of which made by credible witnesses including military and police, plus physical trace evidence and radar reports I'd say it's foolish to say there isn't something going on and most of the population of the major world nations agree. The only question is what is it and why are the governments refusing to admit it's happening. Seriously every major study by every group ever to do one, either government or civilian, has produced atleast 6% unidentifiable despite sufficied information to reach a conclusion meaning it's not something we know about, it's not a hoax and it's not crazy people so even if it's not alien space craft I'd say hundreds to thousands of unexplained events annually in the skies of our planet is worthy of study.

Put simply regardless of what your belief in alien life is or if you think it's been visiting us there is something going on that we don't know about and should be studying. It could lead to proof of alien life, not that we really need it at this point cause even the vatican has come out saying it should exist, or it could simply give us a greater understanding of our planet or unknown space phenomena that is effecting our planet. No matter how you look at it if you do so intelligently you have to be curious.

Aliens!

Hey boys and girls, guess what?

Little green men really do exist!

It's just that there is no reliable proof anywhere that has been verified by any army, government or serious research orginisation...

But you know what the REALLY means right?

Thye are covering it all up! It's a conspiracy!

The aliens are really here, even in your backyard. They are using startrek like technology to evade detection...because...they like to sneak around in other planets.

Truly, humans are so stupid they could never invent anything or make any sense.
Obviously it would be EASIER to research some ALIEN TECHNOLGOY and simply copy that and claim we made it.

The would fool everyone into thinking we came up with the technology and explain why ONLY the US has such ADVANCED technology while everyone else does not.

Are51 really had dead aliens, honest. The film about the dead alien autopsy is not fake, honest.
If copperfield can make the statue of liberty disappear, he must be an alien too, using alient technology. Because its so advanced.

when technology is advanced enough it may see like magic to the layman.

Apparently people try to make the facts fit their notion of reality...they explain things as they like.

Let's just stop bothering with opinions and stick to facts that can be verified and agreed upon by all parties.

Until then it's just ideas, opinions and theories.

So forget aliens. God is still a thesis. So one thesis at a time.

I believe it, why doesnt anyone else?

i believe him. anyone thinking we're alone in the universe is retarded. if life can be done here, it can be done elsewhere. there are trillions of other planets out there.

i believe aliens have visited us simply because there is evidence that they have. take a look at some old pictures from hundreds of years ago....there are UFO's painted in them and people looking at them. the bible even talks about shiny objects comming through a burning flame in the sky. re-entry anyone??? there is a lot of ancient evidence that they've been here.

Tantric Sex would be Engaging Medium for Alien Contact and an Addictive Latent Facility which Offer Alternatives based OffWorld and Virtual. IT is certainly a SuperSubAtomic Driver of Impeccable Record in Peer Review.

Aliens & technology

Why are aliens always naked and carry no techie gizmo whatsoever?

I was always hoping they could leave us something huge like a portable Space Invaders 2 Deluxe. Playing it in Alienish shouldn't be more difficult than those import games we played in Japanese in the 90's . . .

It must be tough for a chap like Mitchell when the only persons that would talk to you are UFO believers. And people are very keen to believe in what they can't see or prove . . . a small part of those believes in aliens.

Not true!

It's all a lie. Everybody knows the Vulcans won't make first contact unless we discover warp drive first!

So, he's probably affected by cosmic radiation...

@Samson's LOL

But this is an article on news from two days ago, its not reporting what he said in 2001.

The article also points out similar stuff he said in 1997.

Humans are the only intelligent life on earth..

Did you ever think that a highly sophisticated alien might actually be the little fly on top of your desk? Humans are one of millions of forms of life on earth and they think that they are the only sign of intelligence on the globe... hahahahaha very insulting towards your own..
Did you ever think that maybe an alien doesn't need a flying saucer??

Of Ambitious Men & Machines

IF there is life after death and there is a choice of returning for more mayhem or perhaps proper reflection of one’s true ambition amongst the living, what would those who are “scientifically minded” do should they decide not to return to face their real music? Spooky science would be a very accurate description which is why there are many experiences but not one single physical evidence. And the things these ”lost scientists”/principle-of-intellect come up with will give the most imaginative hollywood fantasist a wet dream everytime they open-up their imaginations. And is it not the case that “extraterrestial sightings” always happen when the individual is drained of energy [as in being tired, exhausted, etc, emotionally, physically and intellectually] ? “UFO”s are everywhere but not within the physical realm/not-within-physical-reach. When a person “dies”/departs-from-the-objective-realm and he is confused-as-to-his-reality/stuck-with-his-obsessions, he becomes that principle. If you die with the desire for alcohol, you’ve devolved into the principle-of/for-alcohol. Replace “alcohol” with any aspect and a picture soon emerges what devolution really means and in the case of a “departed alcoholic”, say, he’s gots nowheres to gos buts … the pub/alcohol-asylums.

The science of the absolute, the real science, is that which created the physical realm [not to mention the non-physical ones], is absolutely accurate and a magic-bullet during every moment of operation, and is of such complexity that is is beyond the minds ]imaginations/fantasies]. If there is an artifical flower, there will be a real flower for thoughts/that-of-illusory-value have no self-source other than to mimic. This is where the hallelujah crowd have debased the value of the Absolute by using blind faith as the basis for their foundation. When you see a lunatic communicating [loudly too] with someone on his imaginary mobile phone, you know a nut is on the loose. Unfortunately, many “tired” people who have been “violated” by “departed scientists” are also consigned to the same category. Take a good rest and despatch these busybodies back to their “UFO”s [but let the “scientists”/intellectuals run amok for they too will have to see what they’ve becomed. Idiotics].

People if you want proof why don't you all go to www.disclosureproject.org
Or if you can't read
go to google video and search "disclosure project"
Edgar Mitchell is not the only one and he being saying that for YEARS! Diclosure have ALL the proof needed but the Mass Media are corrupt they are sensoring them for YEARS! You all being brain washing by the Mass Media since your birth, wake up people!

We are their Petri Dish

They come from a planet that they destroyed because of their gluttony of resources.
Instead of trying to move their whole disastrous society to another planet it was decided to just implant some of their DNA in a similar looking mammal on a neighboring planet.
They come back from time to time to see how their creations are going and whether we are making the same mistakes that they did.
