Last night (Tues 22nd July) there was a radio interview with Dr Edgar Mitchell, ex-NASA Apollo 14 astronaut and the 6th person to walk on the moon. The interview was conducted on Kerrang Radio, a mainstream rock radio station in the UK. The interviewer wanted to get a NASA astronaut on the show to talk about the moon landings. The producers managed to get hold of Edgar Mitchell but the interview took an unexpected turn.
Jokingly the host asked him about aliens (the hosted later confessed he had been a sceptic about such issues). Mitchell stated quite matter of factly that aliens existed, that they have been visiting the earth for 60 years and governments had covered up these facts all along. He stated Roswell was a genuine ET craft crash. That some UFOs that were seen were terrestrial in origin being reversed engineered craft of inferior technology. He was being serious.
Mitchell stated that he knew of this because of his connections inside military circles and other research committees. He said the alien intent was not hostile as they could have destroyed us by now. When asked what did the aliens look like he said words to the effect – you’ve probably seen pictures of them before – implying “Greys” presumably.
The host and callers to the radio station after the interview were all very shocked to say the least to hear such frank admissions.
To me it seemed to be bizarre timing as the papers in the UK have been full of reported UFO sightings and stories over the last few weeks and then a NASA astronaut comes out with these statements on a UK radio station.
There is no podcast of the show that I can find of the show at the moment. But the link to the radio station is here : http://www.kerrangradio.co.uk/
The interview was reported on an Australian website here : http://www.australia.to/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=207:et-&catid=1:latest

Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens HAVE made contact - but it has been covered up for 60 years
Last updated at 12:09 PM on 23rd July 2008
Aliens have contacted humans several times but governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed.
Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up.
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.'
Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated.
He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction.'
Mr Margerrison said: 'I thought I'd stumbled on some sort of astronaut humour but he was absolutely serious that aliens are definitely out there and there's no debating it.'
Officials from NASA, however, were quick to play the comments down.
In a statement, a spokesman 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.
'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'
