NASA astronaut Edgar Mitchell, a member of the Apollo 14 mission that landed on the moon in 1971, elaborated on his own fluid thoughts on the universe, arguing that alien visits to Earth have been covered up by governments for more than 60 years.

'I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real,' Mitchell said. 'It has been covered up by governments for quite some time now,' added Mitchell, who grew up in Roswell, N.M., the location of the controversial 1947 incident in which some believe the U.S. military covered up the crash scene of an alien spacecraft....

Former astronaut Edgar Mitchell says aliens exist. Did his journey to space influence him?

Sure, there may be life out there. But to believe the government is competent enough to cover up something like this...?

'UFO phenomenon is real' says Apollo Astronaut Edgar Mitchell

Yep, as real as the legendary Burbank Studio (Chaplin, Bogart, Greta Garbo filmed there) where the moon landing was staged and filmed.

Ed Mitchell is the astronaut who tried to communicate from the moon via ESP. He was a nut job then. He’s a nut job now.

UFOs are certainly real; every day people see flying objects they can't identify.

Visitations from alien space vehicles are another question....

UFO’s are real: The Air Force doesn’t exist.

[chuck_the_tv_out]

Bull. This is a manipulation. Like the movie Contact. CHOC-FULL of subliminal cues that:

1) there are aliens
2) they are super smart
3) they are democrats

In those days, many will be deceived. - Jesus.

Exactly what is the “news media” going to pick up on? When the 0bama administration tells them what to say, they’ll say it. What can they possibly do before then? Sometimes people expect too much.

[Snickering Hound]

It was covered in one of the most widely read papers in the world!

Full moon time!

Astronauts are some of the most highly trained and respected members of our society...

That respect isn't always due them. Certainly not all of them forever.

[autumnraine]

I wonder why so many are being seen lately.

You think they know something big is coming?

Maybe they don’t want those stupid sunscreens put out into space.

If a conspiracy really exists, then our understanding of basic laws of physics is flawed as the speed of light must not be a limiting factor to the speed at which travel can occur and some government somewhere would tip their hand at having been in on the conspiracy by funding a lot of research in this area of physics.

[Star Traveler]

The article said — Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell – the sixth man to walk on the moon – laid a bombshell on ABC News with the comment “the UFO phenomenon is real” last July. Yet why didn’t other major media pick up on this fascinating story? Wouldn’t the public be interested to know? Wouldn’t you want to know?

Yeah, I think everyone knows that the *phenomenon* is real (i.e., it’s a “phenomenon” that exists). The real question — though — is “What is it?”

That’s what the government is not answering (at least not satisfactorily), the “what is it” part...

*OPI pings. (*=Of Possible Interest)

Pinging the list..

To be added to the 175 plus member unidentified aerial phenomenon list (ufo),please freepmail (works best) the three of us; Quix , DCPatriot, and LasVegasDave.

I’m still waiting patiently for an IFO.

Or at least a good, high quality picture of one.

[Revolting cat!]

The most curious question is why the aliens choose to always show up in (or above, anyway) the U.S. and not some other countries like, say, Bolivia, Slovakia or Burma? Ya think they all (them aliens) speak American, that’s why?
