Apollo 14 Astronaut Says Aliens Are Real
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.

Mars Spacecraft Successfully Lands On Mars
NASA’s Phoenix spacecraft has successfully touched down on Mars.
Phoenix will be the first spacecraft to study the arctic plains on Mars’ north pole. The craft has a robotic arm that will drill into the Martian ice and retrieve samples which will be analyzed and studied remotely from earth.
Scientists will try to determine if the permafrost has the ingredients needed for life to emerge.

US snubs Russian request for joint moon exploration: space chief
The head of Russia’s space agency Sunday said the US has rebuffed an offer from Moscow to jointly explore the moon, while announcing a separate contract with NASA for nearly one billion dollars for the International Space Station. Roskosmos chief Anatoly Perminov was quoted as saying by the Interfax news agency that Russia had proposed pooling resources to explore the moon.
“We were ready to cooperate but for unknown reasons, the United States have said they will undertake this programme themselves,” he said.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in December said it envisaged setting up a manned base, possibly on the moon’s south pole, by around 2020, powered by sunlight and perhaps hydrogen and oxygen, with astronauts cruising over the lunar surface in pressurized rovers.
Perminov said Roskosmos had meanwhile signed with NASA a “contract for nearly one billion dollars” — an unprecedented sum — to supply cargo shuttles between now and 2011 for the US segment of the International Space Station.
The US-led ISS draws upon the scientific and technological resources of 16 nations: Canada, Japan, Russia, 11 nations of the European Space Agency and Brazil.
