Edgar Mitchell: We have made contact with aliens

In a statement taken by surprise to many scientists as well as followers of the UFO phenomenon, astronaut Edgar Mitchell further alleged in a radio interview that these contacts have been hidden by NASA. Mitchell says he has been aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career, but all have been concealed. "While some of these visits have been leaking and a few have had the privilege of knowing him," says astronaut.

Mitchell describes the small alien beings "that we looked so strange." It even seems that Steven Spielberg had anything to do with it, because Mitchell says his appearance is very similar to the movie ET, that is, small beings with large eyes and head. NASA officials have denied this information. "Dr. Mitchell is a great American, but do not share your views on this issue," noting that the agency "is not involved in any coverup of extraterrestrial life on this planet or any point in the universe."

Dr. Mitchell went on board the 'Apollo 14' along with commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for being the man who has walked on the moon for nine hours and 17 minutes in 1971. Mitchell, in any case, the first astronaut who claims to have evidence of contacts with aliens. Gordon Cooper, who participated in the 60's in the program 'Gemini' from NASA, was also a firm believer in aliens, and said he had had several contacts with them.

Also the famous 'Apollo 11', the mission that put Armstrong and Aldrin on the moon, led to a sighting when astronauts found a piece of metal floating in space. In this case, however, none of the crew believed it to be of extraterrestrial origin. It looked more like space junk, although its exact origin is unknown.
