Dr Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and record holder for the longest ever moon walk has claimed that aliens made numerous visits to Earth during his career with NASA, but that each one was carefully covered up.

Mitchell (pictured below) described the creatures as ‘little people who look strange to us’ and that they look similar to the traditional image of aliens like E.T. with large eyes and a small frame.

Such a highly accomplished man who is privy to sensitive information may give credence to the alien coverup conspiracy. He claims that information about the coverup has slowly leaked out and that he has been privileged to be briefed on some of it.

Mitchell, who is now 77, has said that our technology is “not nearly as sophisticated” as theirs and that “had they been hostile”, we wouldn’t be around anymore.

Dr Mitchell broke his silence on Kerrang! radio and said “This is really starting to open up. I think we’re headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction.”

A NASA spokesman played down the comments in a statement which 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. They added, “Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.”

Is this man for real? Or was he on the moon too long? Have your say in the comments.
