Aliens? Really? Can it be?

Todays article on former astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell could be viewed several ways.

A former national media star looking to reclaim some attention?

A senile scientist shooting off at the mouth?

A guy fed up with the government hiding everything?

Who knows, it's anybodys guess.

But, I can't help but wonder there might be a smidgen of truth to it. I realize I am about to offend all the religons of the world by stating this, but I think the human race would have to be pretty darn arrogant to think we are the only form of life in the universe or beyond.

I know what the bible says, but let's think about science and other factors for just a bit, not ruling out anything about religon. Just saying that faith doesn't have to be sacrificed for science.

Read what Dr. Mitchell had to say and think whatever you choose. It's all good and the bottom line is, No Matter What You Think, you can still Call Me Dan.

FORMER NASA astronaut and moonwalker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens do exist.

And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for 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.

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."
