From “The Day the Earth Stood Still” to “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” to “E.T.,” pop culture is filled with stories about friendly, curious extraterrestrials visiting Earth to learn more about mankind. For Apollo 14 veteran Edgar Mitchell that plotline is less fiction than it is reality. The sixth man to walk the surface of the moon told Mirror online that he believes peace-keeping aliens visited our planet to prevent a nuclear war between Russia and the United States.
The idea sounds far-fetched, but Mitchell claims that military insiders viewed strange flying crafts cruising over U.S. missile bases and the White Sands facility in New Mexico, the site of the first-ever nuclear bomb detonation in 1945.
“They wanted to know about our military capabilities,” he said. “My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.”
Mitchell, who grew up near the famous Roswell site in New Mexico, said that he has heard from various Air Force officers who claim UFOs were a regular site during the Cold War.

This finally confirms my long held suspicions!
It was Aliens!
The great deception begins.
They say that seeing the blue marble from space changes you, I guess this is what they mean.
Al Shepard, Wally Schirra or Neil Armstrong never made such claims...
Who needs editors?
“peace-loving aliens prevented ‘nuclear war’”
Okie Dokie
Where’s the guy with the crazy hair? Has Mitchell been talking to him?
I wonder if he has a book deal coming out?
There have been rumors for a long time about US military operations in space that went well beyond what NASA officially acknowledges. Not aliens, but things beyond the space shuttle
Have these aliens heard of North Korea and Iran?
Jeez. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry anymore.
That we know of! (DUN-dun-dunnhh...)
This claim can’t be proven true until we hear from Deb Feyerick and Bill Nye, “The Science Guy”...
Naw, he was always kinda the kooky star traveler. On his trip to the moon he experimented with mental telepathy trying to communicate from the Apollo capsule to earth using playing cards, etc. IIRC he was a half bubble off about religion until later in life.
I lived in his home town at the time of his mission and he gave the most amazing color slide presentation to the citizens and school children. The pictures, projected onto a movie theatre type screen were absolutely stunning in their clarity and crispness. I think they were all taken with the Haselblad(sp?) large negative cameras and the detail was unbelievable at the time.
While I do agree with you that UFO’s are a general deception, I think it’s credible that angels have periodically stepped in and interfered with man when it became the most tense.
“This is very disappointing coming from a NASA hero...

Perhaps Al, Wally, and Neil are honoring their agreements to secrecy?
Must have overheated while he was filming out at the Apollo moon set in Nevada.
He obviously ate some of that green cheese on the moon, he’s hallucinating!
