Fodder For Your Local Coffehouse Conspiracy Committee



In a turn of events that most of us thought was inevitable, one of the veterans from the "moon missions" has come out saying that NASA, among its other numerous foibles, has tried to cover up the existence of intelligent life on planets other than ours. Edgar Mitchell, one of the crew members from Apollo 14 and a person who claims to have set foot on the Moon Herself, has come out with the following conspiracy fodder in a recent interview with the Australian Press:
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."
As usual, NASA's response to the issue is far more humorous than Dr. Mitchell's claims:
'Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue.'
Translation: Dr. Edgar Mitchell is an American Hero. Also, Dr. Mitchell is out of his bleeping mind. Have a nice day, we have to leave to go find some of our confidential spaceship plans from the 60's that one of our interns spilled coffee on and threw in the garbage.

I am further inspired to work on my backyard garden, foster growth in my local economy, and let the universe do as it may. Viva Hartwell!
