Apollo 14 Moonwalker Claims Aliens Exist
An anonymous reader writes "Former NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell — a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission — has stunningly claimed aliens 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.'"
I think he just had a case of the space madness.
Blar.
Well, maybe we look strange to them, too. Ever think of that?
The simple truth is that interstellar distances will not fit into the human imagination

Will he be on Coast to Coast AM soon?
I've seen Moonwalker and I would definitely agree with this notion.
Reviewing just the first hour of video games.
He's just mad that only Buzz gets any attention these days.
Yeah, it's sad to see a hero go senile...But, I'm sure he has proof like a fuzzy picture of a distant light in the air or something.
'little people who look strange to us.'
Tom Cruise and the scientologists?
This space is not for rent.
To cover-up this conspiracy, the government will soon inject him with a secret drug to give him dementia. Those diabolical bastards... who stole my teeth??
A slashdotter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber.
little people who look strange to us.
I for one welcome our new Danny DeVito overlords.
Seriously, I do.
In that case, I'll tell my wife that the new X-Files movie is a documentary.
I for one welcome our new overlords and wish to extend a heart-felt greeting to Lord Xenu!
BTW, anyone who tries to prove me wrong that aliens haven't visited us is *CLEARLY* part of a government cover up. You may have fooled the world into thinking that Australia exists but you can't fool the world into thinking that aliens haven't visited us!
Clever and witty sig.
You can't take it from me now! I've had this ice-cream bar since I was a CHILD! People...always trying to take it from me! Why won't they LEAVE ME ALOOOOOONNNNE?

He's 77. Obviously, he's senile.

Nope, that would him having a stroke.

Somehow I think the psych evaluations for astronauts are somewhat more stringent than those for Hollywood actors. At least that's what movies about astronauts have taught me.
During his Apollo 14 flight to the moon, he secretly conducted ESP experiments with friends back on Earth.
And how did that go?
Most likely no better than when the same experiments were conducted in the next room.
How can anyone seriously believe this guy? First he claims that we've walked on the moon and now he's saying that aliens exist.
Count on something less like Star Drek, Nth Contact and more like ID4, except for the part at the end where we survived (I doubt they would be running Windows on the mothership). I just don't see their presence staying secret for long.
As for Doctor Mitchell, I recommend adjusting the dosage on his meds.
Well oblivious they KNEW he would look like a crackpot so we would obviously not believe him. On the other hand they KNEW that we would think that we know they think he wants to look like a crackpot so we would obviously not believe NASA. However, we know that he has been on the moon, so he might have gone mad, so obviously we can not believe him. However knowing he has been on the moon means he was privy to a lot of highly classified information so we obviously can not believe NASA. However only a great fool believe in what has no proof so we can obviously not believe him. On the other hand NASA knows the slashdoters of the world are not great fools, and they were counting us not foolishly believing him, so we can obviously not believe them. INCONCEIVABLE!
We are the Borg...
How can you not know that? He transmitted the results all over the world via ESP! Didn't you get them?
I am so conflicted. In order to believe this support for one of my favorite conspiracy theories, I have to accept that this guy is credible. In order to accept he is credible, I have to ignore one of my other favorite conspiracy theories about the moon landing. Maybe this situation is presented to me as a test to see whether my brain is harvestable.
But he had a sense of humor so he should have used it, 'cause there was that lunar module there - a fixed camera, just fixed, not panning left or right, just stationary. So he could've been there saying, "Hi, people on the Moon. As you can see, the Sea of Tranquility here, there's the mountains in the distance, there's the Earth! There, you're looking back up at yourselves there. Over to my right, I can see a fucking monster! There's a monster behind me! ( screaming ) Oh no, help! Get off my leg!" Buzz Aldrin in a monster outfit ( growling ) Neil doing a close-up with... "He's got me, Houston. The monster's got me! He wants cash! He's got my hand up behind my back. I think he knows jiu-jitsu! He wants cash for the release of my life. Send a million... - two million dollars, leave it in a bag by the Sea of Tranquility. I don't know, the North Shore! What the fucking 'ell...?" Oh, it would have worked, wouldn't it?
Thank god for the preview button!
well, finally this explains G.W. Bush... and Tom Cruise

You can keep the body thetans. All we want is our spacecraft, which look just like airplanes, returned back to us.
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".
Oh dear god!
They found out about MS-WINDOWS!
This story comes up just as the new X-Files movie comes out. Coincidence? I think not.

Well what do you expect? From TFA, he holds the record for moonwalking - nine hours and 17 minutes. You can see what it did to Michael Jackson...
Truly your intellect is dizzying.
"The story so far: In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been wide
Hmmm and the new movie is coming out soon - actually tomorrow. Coincidence? I think not. Trustno1.
Please listen to this man! I'm not crazy! The robots are going to take over and kill us all! Skynet! SKYNET!!!
You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
The President today: "I checked with Commissioner Xith and he's never even heard of the human Dr Mitchell. Or David Icke."
...ad nauseum
Actually, their ability to avoid nauseum was also a factor.
So, how did you get here?
I hitched a lift with a teaser.
A what?
A teaser. Spoiled rich kid with nothing better to do than to land on a planet no one's made contact with, in front of someone no one is going to believe, and strut up and down, making "beep beep" noises.
(With apologies to the late Douglas Adams, or rather thanks to him, and apologies to his rapacious publishing house.)

"I doubt they would be running Windows on the mothership). "
All thr problems with ID4, and people keep talking about the one thing that was plausible as if it couldn't happen.
I think after 60 years of studying their technology we might have learned a thing or two.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
You're absolutely right. It works the other way around too. If I saw a really hot female alien I'd want to probe her every hole too. And sci-fi is full of really hot alien chicks! If we get something like Spielberg's ET though, that's a different story. There's no hole there worth probing. But hey, his flat head and small height would probably make him perfect to hold the TV remote. No probing required.
Oh come on, if aliens really existed, how could the government keep it secret? Surely someone would get the word out that they exist. Oh, wait .....
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
Godwinned!
Marvin knew: "Think of a number, any number..."
'little people who look strange to us.' Sure they are little, look peculiar, speak funny. But we must acknowledge that their technology and civilisation is many millenia ahead of ours. And - I love their cuisine, especially the sushi!
