Ex-Astronaut: Aliens Are Real and NASA Knows It

Fox News ^ | July 24th, 2008

Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr. Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — claims aliens exist. He says extraterrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions — but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades. Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview in Birmingham, England, that sources at NASA who had had contact with aliens described the beings as "little people who look strange to us." He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a "small gray" — short, slight frame, large eyes and large head. Mitchell also claimed human technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as the aliens' and "had they been hostile," he warned "we would be been gone by now."

I think just about everyone who went to the moon were effected. This guy more than anyone. His right brain took over and he’s flakier than a butterfly...

[I see my hands]

Why the presumption they would first contact governments?

[BGHater]

No kidding.

[Raineygoodyear]

I see Aliens all the time! they are usually jumping the fence! LOL...

[GauchoUSA]

or is it left brain?

I think just about everyone who went to the moon were [a]ffected.... he’s flakier than a butterfly...

Well...they do call it "lunacy" for a reason...

[oh8eleven]

Better buy this before it's too late!

[mark3681]

Finally! A serious thread!

[ElkGroveDan]

Good old Quisp. What ever happened to his cereal?

[American_Centurion]

If there were actual Extra Terrestrial Aliens and if they travelled to our world, then why the presumption that we were the first time they’d ever done so, and learned that you can’t just pop in on a planet and anounce yourself to all?

That’s equally as possible right?

Here’s some of Mitchell’s movie credits

Mindbender (1996) (TV) (Uri Geller)

The Man Who Saw Tomorrow (1981) (as Dr. Edgar Mitchell) .... Himself (astronaut)

Soooooooo ............

Aliens Are Real and NASA Knows It

[pissant]

The real aliens thought it was racist and complained?

[Raineygoodyear]

I don’t know that is a good question.. Why don’t they ever travel to Mc Donalds or WallyWorld or Disneyland...

[steve86]

What is this, about the fourth time this garbage has been posted?

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

His book will be out soon, he is getting a lot of exposure!

[machogirl]

food for thought

why would they be any different than us?
when scientists research different species and “no contact” tribes, they try to remain hidden so they can observe without disturbing

makes sense that IF we are being visited, they would do the same: take samples, take some back for their “zoos”, observe, etc

just an explanation that makes some sense............

[Raineygoodyear]

Guess were trying to find these Aliens that are being Covered-Up you aren’t hiding any are you? :)

My dad may or may not have worked for the CIA at a facility that may or may not be located in Australia. Some of the people he may or may not have worked with went on to write books about aliens because they knew that the government, if asked, would never confirm or deny that they ever worked there and would never confirm or deny what they did there and that would bolster their credibility with the UFO community and increase their book sales. They all that that was funny.

[TigersEye]

Algore. Alan Colmes. Nuff said.

[txroadkill]

Should say "They all thought that was funny"

[happinesswithoutpeace]

Oh lawd is that some Pine Gap? :)

[TADSLOS]

Gratuitous X-Files Movie hype bump.

[I see my hands]

"learned that you can’t just pop in on a planet and anounce yourself to all

What makes that a lesson to be learned?

[American_Centurion]

If they can manage interstallar/galactic travel they are definitely either scientific or magical. So your hypothesis is a valid one.

[Carley]

Better an alien than obamasiah

[TheWasteLand]

Homer: STOP! Those candidates are phonies!
[Crowd murmurs]
Homer: You heard me! They're alien replicons from beyond the moon!!!

I think Homer might be on to something this year...

[American_Centurion]

Tactically thinking - element of surprise for invasion for example find out if there’s any technology or conditions that could thwart your invasion.

Ethically thinking - sudden shock to the locals caused unintentional disruption which interferred with their mission or caused unrecoverable turmoil/collapse of society.

Possibility for both violent and non-violent intent ET’s. If they exist and have visited, almost anything is plausible.

I have an uncle, Bolivar Stopfart, that has a gofer that claims to be from the planet Fullahshit. When the White Coats came to get Bolivar, he was my mother's sister's brother on my father's side, he was put in a straight jacket. The gofer got away. It seems that Scotty beamed him up. Sad story.

[txroadkill]

I wont confirm or deny that, but I was born in Alice Springs.

I was about 10 when it first occured to me to ask why I was born there and was shocked when I was told, "because, now drop it".

[F15Eagle]

I think they all wanted to be rather quiet about Alice Springs after “The Falcon and the Snowman” (Boyce and Lee, if memory serves) compromised the data intelligence gathering network.

For those of you who have read “Deep Black”.

Edgar Mitchell co-founded the Institute of Noetic Sciences in 1973. Some of the things researched at the institute include: spiritual energy, meditation, consciousness, alternative healing, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities, and life after death.

He's said that he was cured of cancer by the "remote healing" abilities of someone called Adam Dreamhealer.

In other words, he's nuttier than a fruitcake.

[machogirl]

only obama is “magical” :)

[machogirl]

well, the army did do work on remote viewing.........

[Diverdogz]

[ConfusedAndLovingIt]

After the whole Lisa Nowak Depends incident, the title “ex-astronaut” can no longer be used to bolster credibility.

Why the presumption that we would ever know that aliens visited the earth, or that they would contact us if they did? Visitors from space would have to be able to travel faster than light. If you can travel faster than light, you can control light, so you could not be detected by anything we know, including vision.

UFO believers also presuppose that although aliens can travel across interstellar distances, their technology limits their ability to observe a planet unless they land on it. That doesn’t make sense if you think about it. We use remote sensing, people who can avoid asteroid strikes at a million miles an hour would have to have much better remote sensing or they would be killed in flight.

[I see my hands]

Let me try it this way: You're thinking anthropomorphically. Why would an alien think anthropomorphically?

[rosenfan]

Unfortunately, the federal government has wasted millions on the absurd concept of "remote viewing". For more information, see:

[machogirl]

as hard as i try, i just can’t do remote viewing (so i can see what my teens are up to) :)

[Elpasser]

Yep. This confirms my suspicion: a flake.

Repeat after me: there are no such things as space aliens. Only undocumented workers.

This is kind of a duplicate thread...

Read here...

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2050512/posts

That thread has already had over 400 replies...some of the loons are out in full force...it’s a hoot...

[ZX12R]

This is kind of a duplicate thread...

More like quadruplicate. But what the hey.

[rosenfan]

Visitors from space would have to be able to travel faster than light.

Not necessarily. The crew of a spacecraft traveling just short of lightspeed would experience relativistic time dilation, thus aging more slowly. If you can get close enough to C, you can go anywhere in the universe in one lifetime.

That having been said, there's still the problem of
1) Actually building such a spacecraft.
2) The fact that there isn't the slightest evidence that such a spacecraft has ever visited us.

[andysandmikesmom]

Well, there is the entertainment value involved...the more threads, the more laughs...
