Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens HAVE made contact


Apollo 14 astronaut claims aliens HAVE made contact - but it has been covered up for 60 years: in what seems like it should be front-page of a tabloid, Daily Mail Online writes "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.'"

George: "It would cause a devastating blow to our antiquated systems."

Wyatt: "How your joint George?"

George: "Oh, it went out."
