Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed. Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up. Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency 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 frame, large eyes and head. Chillingly, he claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned'we would be been gone by now'.Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.
'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,' Dr Mitchell said.
'It's been
well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but
slowly it's leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been
briefed on some of it.
'I've been in military and
intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has
been public knowledge, yes - we have been visited. Reading the papers
recently, it's been happening quite a bit.'
Dr Mitchell, who has a
Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of
Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real
and similar alien visitscontinue to be investigated.
He told the astonished
Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open
up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious
organisations are moving in that direction.'
Mr Margerrison 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.'
Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.
In a statement, a spokesman
said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of
cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe.
'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'
