Dr. Edgar Mitchell, a moon walker and veteran of the Apollo 14 mission, says that aliens do indeed exist. According to Mitchell, aliens have visited earth on a number of occasions but the incidents have been cleverly covered up for the last six decades.

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.

“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.”

I’m actually inclined to believe Dr. Mitchell. I find it far-fetched that we are really alone in the universe considering the size of the universe. When you think about all the galaxies and all the planets in the universe, it’s nearly inconceivable that we’re alone.

The sheer volume of evidence suggesting the existence of aliens is becoming to large to deny. It’s almost laughable when up to 100 people see something in the sky that is absolutely not of this world and the government will say it’s a “Weather balloon.” As tired as that excuse is, for some reason it continues to be used on a regular basis.

Polls show the majority of Americans do believe in aliens, and do believe the government is covering it up. Kudos to Dr. Mitchell for his honesty on the subject.

A video will be shown to the media tomorrow in Denver, which allegedly shows a live alien for the first time. Supposedly, the video has been seen by “experts” and authenticated.

“It shows an extraterrestrial’s head popping up outside of a window at night, looking in the window, that’s visible through an infrared camera,” he said. The alien is about 4 feet tall and can be seen blinking…”

In Shirley MacLaine’s new book, the actress and longtime friend of Dennis Kucinich tells an interesting story about the Congressman. She claims that during a visit to her home in Washington state, Kucinich said he saw a UFO and heard messages from it.

“Dennis found his encounter extremely moving,” MacLaine writes. “The smell of roses drew him out to my balcony where, when he looked up, he saw a gigantic triangular craft, silent, and observing him.

“It hovered, soundless, for 10 minutes or so, and sped away with a speed he couldn’t comprehend. He said he felt a connection in his heart and heard directions in his mind.”

That explains a lot.
