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.
Well? What do you think about this?
Where's the link to buy his book??.....:juggle2:

Dr. Mitchell is 77 years old. Has anybody checked to ensure that his faculties are intact? Also, he never claimed to have any first hand knowledge, just that he was privvy to the information by means of being a member of NASA.
Uhm, how secret could it have been if he was aware? Why would he come forward now? Did it ever occur to him to acquire any tangible evidence whatsoever?
Nope, just a "yep, the rumors are right, cause I say so" from a 77 year old man of unknown mental stability. Call me when they really do show up. :alien:
Well with a plenty of millions of stars being suns with planets spinning around them, has to be something there somewhere, I am just surprised they are more advanced then me.

Dang naggit! I specifically asked Edgar not to announce our presence until 2012. Bastard. As useless to our secret plans as the Mayas. :no:
Lol, cynic.
Took him 30 years to finally come out and say something about it? Much like don points out he has no first hand expierence.
Apparently he wasnt important enough to the alliens to be anally probed.

I always find it amusing how quickly conversations on Alien life degenerate into sarcasm and dismissal.

I didn't dismiss alien life. I dismissed that the government covered up a first contact with aliens and that this guy knows about it. I assume that there is life out there, somewhere. Call me when they come over for dinner. Until then :coffeenews: .

I don't doubt that there's intelligent life elsewehere in the universe, probably within this spiral arm of our galaxy and possibly within the next few solar systems. I wouldn't be suprised to learn that they have visited our solar system and are aware of us.
But I have a really hard time buying the "They want to keep their presence a secret, but they're just not that good at secrecy". These beings are capable of interstellar travel (we've pretty much ruled out our own stellar system) but they can't manage to avoid detection? I'm supposed to believe that despite their pathological need to remain secret, they cannot resist the temptation to abduct and sexually investegate people of dubious backgrounds? Repeatedly? How many anal probes do they have to conduct? "Yep, that's a prostrate up there alright." "Let's 'secretly' grab a few hundred more drunk rednecks on their way home from the bar to be sure though, Beeblebox." "Righty-oh, Zaphod".
Like I've said, I'm sure there are intelligent forms of life out there. They may have visited us. But the "Zeke Millers" of the world didn't discover them on the way home from the "Do-Drop-In" after a couple of pitchers when he was abducted and the 'subject' of experiments.
Show me something credible if you want me to stop with the sarcasm. Otherwise, I'm more interested in the secret Yeti society and how long their new alliance with the Octosquids will hold up.
Well with a plenty of millions of stars being suns with planets spinning around them, has to be something there somewhere, I am just surprised they are more advanced then me.
Two points to make there:
1. Think of the time frames. How long has the human civilisation been around, and for how much longer will it still be? If we say that 10 000 years is the answer to the first question; then that is nothing in astronomical time scales.
2. If they reach Earth with their spacecrafts, they are necessarily more advanced than us.
I always find it amusing how quickly conversations on Alien life degenerate into sarcasm and dismissal.
It takes no scientifical facts to put forward a statement like Mitchell did; no kudos to him.

There are lots of pictures of 'aliens' all of which are probably fake. Alien artifacts, or it didn't happen.

Trying to stay secret? Nah. I'm sure they are simply indifferent to us. In a universe teeming with life, we are rather unimportant.

Aside from which, we already know that this guy is either a liar or a nutcase, as he's claiming he walked on the moon. The United States has never been to the moon, NASA faked the whole thing. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_moon_landing_hoax)
I'm with Don on this one. It's a statistical slam-dunk that other intelligent life exists, but I refuse to believe that our government is capable of keeping a secret for sixty years.
Now if you will excuse me, I need to find my zombie love match (http://www.zombieharmony.com/).

I got a kick from some of the people's comments in the discussion of the article. This was my fave:
Of course there is intellegant life in other galaxy's -- those that visit our planet, are far more advanced in zipping through time and space - we have not got the technology that they have to travel, with spacecraft so superior, that our speed air travel, would be like a snail moving, compared to theirs. We are told bibically, that Satan & his demons have been cast down to the earth, could they be the ones that have caused havoc/destruction, and have mind control over those with no spirituallity. We may know very soon - We all pray for God's kingdom to come, or at least those with christian faith do so, for HIS WILL to be done on earth, as it is in heaven. -- The Our Father prayer - a prayer Jesus thought his disciples. Only God's Kingdom (goverment) can bring total peace to our beautiful planet earth, which man has been destroying for so long -- A paradise earth is promised, the dead will be risen, and never again, will pain or suffering/starvation exist, once Jesus Christ rules over his kingdom.

It's called lemur's disease for a reason.
So DA you have those alien artifacts yet? Or maybe some kind of signal that looks like it came from an intelligent source that's not human?
Edit: So everyone, lets say tomorrow such an artifact does appear and is confirmed to be legit. How does the world react?

George Bush immediatly declares them a threat and declares a war on aliens
Hugo Chavez invites them over for a conference and offers to trade oil for whatever they've got
Chinese pm offers to outsource some of thier lower end jobs to china on the cheap
OBL declares them as the new satan and demands they remove thier unislamic bodys off the earth
Alien Abductees worldwide rush around ensuring a plentiful supply of tin foil hats...

And just as well could we be the most advanced lifeform in the universe (just like you can actually win the lottery, with better chances this time) and invent interstellar travel and enjoy doing anal probes on other beings. :2thumbsup:

Don, everyone knows that the aliens are doing it because they got jealous of the demons and "thingies" in the woods that were doing it before. :book:
More seriously, going from the premise that alien contact has been done, but is covered up, we can conclude a few things:
A. An alien initaited contact must have been done in secret and the aliens want to keep it this way (or possibly fooled, but that sounds too naive).
B. Very few people knows about it as a very good (as in containing proofs) leak to media= $$$$$$$
b2. Proofs are hard to find, see above.
C. The goverment wants to keep this secret (different from A as it also contains indifferent contact, probes, crash landings).
I probably missed some point, but the conclusion is that alien contact is highly unlikely.

Given that people in general are lazy, petty idiots and the US gov't appears to be graced to an unusually high degree with incompetent :daisy: (if one is to believe most statements uttered about it anyway), what I find highly unlikely is that they could actually sit on such a first-contact incident for more than a week...
Bet you it wouldn't take five days before one of the soldiers on guard duty around the UFO/alien envirosphere/Stargate took a pic of it with his mobile and plastered it all over his damn MySpace page.

I suppose its nothing to do with our important, but rather just how rare Planets like Earth are.

Ha! I just hope they don't come looking for their good friend Hitler, who they agreed to trade with. :sweatdrop::oops:
