Top Astronaut: 'Aliens Do Exist'
11:37am UK, Thursday July 24, 2008 Aliens do exist and have even contacted humans on Earth, according to top astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell who was the sixth man on the Moon. l-alien
Dr Edgar Mitchell says aliens are just like little men
The truth has been hidden by governments for more than 60 years, the Moon walker says.
And he claims he is lifting the lid on a conspiracy to keep aliens a secret.
Dr Mitchell, who was on Apollo 14 in 1971, has told how he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with Nasa but each one was covered up.
The 77-year-old claims the space agency made contact with aliens, describing the beings as "little people who look strange to us".

It’s all the CORN in the MidWest that attracks the UFOs.
I don’t know WHAT it is in California.
Again... WHY?
Obiously you haven't been following current events.
REASON 1: The liberals tell us that they are smarter than Conservatives. They must be right because liberals are smarter than us and they said it. Carl Sagan is a Liberal - therefore he is smarter than us.
REASON 2: He had his own TV show. You have to be really smart to have your own show. Like Rosie, Rosanne, and Homer.
Seriously - The extent of my knowledge about Carl Sagan is what was on his show "Cosmos". I was overseas and that was one of the few English-language shows that came on TV. I didn't realize he was a flaming liberal or a doper. I've learned something today.
I often have the feeling that a number of folks
would not alter their blind biases
if God himself, appearing as a Michaelangelo type figure,
in a huge thundercrack that made the whole planet look to the skies and see His face,
spoke in a booming voice, “STOP THE NONSENSE, YOU ALL KNOW I EXIST, ACT ACCORDINGLY”.
Nope, there would be some that rationalized it away - “strange atmospheric conditions or something”.
Quix,
A cursory read of what he wrote suggests to me he’s referring to the understanding of the “sons of God” as the line of Seth who were faithful and the “daughters of men” as the line of Cain who were not.
What building is that?
Nevertheless, there are still two things that stand out in my mind on the subject:
First, that the odds of actually being found by another civilization, no matter how advanced, are incredibly remote. Again, WE have only been producing signals that could be detected from a distance for 107 years. And again I assert that a sphere 107 light-years across is very, very small on a cosmic scale. The odds of an advanced species happening to be in the neighborhood to see/hear us are minimal. And I think you overestimate the detectibility of things like the Trinity test or any other nuclear explosion on earth, and like the radio signals, whatever aftereffects might have reached space can only have gone 63 light-years from here by now. It would be like sitting in a raft in the middle of the Pacific ocean, and just happening to be in the precise spot that a single grain of sand falling randomly from orbit struck the water. Even that analogy probably overstates the probability considerably.
Second, as someone else has pointed out, there are now thousands and thousands of cameras, many that take relatively good quality images, all over the planet. And yet, we still don't have much in the way of proof of any alien visitations.
I am not saying alien civilizations don't exist - given the size of the universe and the number of galaxies, solar systems, and planets, it seems far too likely that they do exist somewhere. All I am saying is that I do not believe for one second that any have ever visited, or are currently visiting, earth. And without solid, scientific, verifiable proof, I see no reason to believe those who insist that they are or have, particularly the "I was abducted by aliens" crowd.
INDEED.
And it takes a LOT MORE FAITH to believe that such could/would EVER produce, create any life . . . than it does to accept The Bible as Truth.
I like dogpile.com . . . which includes Google.
and the greatest proof that intelligent life exists.. they’ve been smart enough not to contact us.
after being bombarded with broadcasts of “Gilligan’s Island” and “The Beverly Hillbillies” that have been beamed into space for all these years, I don’t want them to show up....’cause they aint gonna be friendly.
Well Done.Thx.
LOL.
Don’t think I understand your averaging question.
If you want some of the stats averaged . . . which ones?
If you mean the 3,000+ cases averaged in some summary way—what do you mean? How?
LOL.
Sagan was sure convinced of his brilliance.
INDEED!
Gee, I wonder why? I also wonder why the picture and videos of flying objects that have been presented, always seem to be a bit out of focus, or jumpy, or otherwise of such lousy quality that you really can't tell what you might be looking at. And why it seems that whenever something with a relatively clear picture or decen video quality does come along, it is easily debunked or duplicated.
A farmer of high credibility...
"A priest in Argentina received the letter, but failed to forward it to at least 10 people. He died two weeks later."
ROTFLMAO!
I think you might do well to read more carefully.
And, Guy Malone’s DVD’s are worth getting and paying a fair price for though any donation is accepted. At least pay materials and handling, please.
Quite a panel of top flight experts in such texts and on such issues give a wealth of info on the DVDs.
It is clear to me that Genesis 6 and Enoch are both talking about fallen angels impregnating women humans.
And it is quite plausible that the hybridizing program that’s been underway for decades is similarly verbotten from God’s standpoint.
There’s also some reported something about polluting bloodlines from the satan against God standpoint. I’m not sure anyone really understands that but sounds plausible.
One postulation had it that satan was trying to pollute the bloodlines before Christ to prevent a perfect son of David being able to arise. Plausible. But foolish, all the same. Seems sometimes that satan is extremely clever—particularly compared to man—yet dumber than a rock—particularly compared to God.
Oops. Post 516 was meant to be a reply to Quix’s post #458...
Rememeber, the first stars did not have planets with heavy elements circling them. All the heavier elements than helium and lithium were generated by the life cycle and death of stars. Followed by the dispersion of these elements to be gathered into clouds then galaxies that eventually generated stars and planets as we have now. In short, we may be at the leading edge of the process which can allow for the formation of conditions absolutely necessary for the rise of life and continued development thereof. How long does it take to destroy the first stars, collect the dust in clouds then generate galaxies? How long must the process run to reach a quiet enough state such as our planet has arisen in?
If you would like to read and listen to more along this line of reasoning, try linking to reasons.org an astrophysicists explains the notion much better than simple ol' me.
