Astronaut Reports Alien Visits

Posted Jul 25, 08 3:44 AM CDT in US,  Science & Health 

(Newser) – Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who walked on the moon during the Apollo 14 mission, says aliens have visited Earth but the information has been covered up by the government. The 77-year-old astronaut told a radio interviewer he was "privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited," reports the Daily Telegraph.

"Yes—we have been visited," he 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. It's been happening quite a bit."  NASA had this to say to the Telegraph: "Dr. Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue."

Conspiracy theorists are sure a photo snapped in 2004 reveals an alien, or perhaps a creature like Sasquatch.

    Planet with Water Discovered Astronomers located the first planet beyond our solar system that hosts water—a giant gas ball bigger than Jupiter and named HD 189733b. Its sizzling climate, which can reach upwards of 3,600 degrees, renders it uninhabitable to any extraterrestrials, but the discovery shows that water is more common in outer space than previously thought.
