Dr. Edgar Mitchell, holder of the joint record for longest moon walk, recipient of 2 Bachelor of Science degrees and a doctorate in aeronautics from MIT made surprising statements, at least to some, on a Birmingham, England Kerrang! radio interview. He was asked by the interviewer if he believed in life on other planets. He replied, "Oh yes. There's not much question at all that there is life throughout the universe. I'm totally sure we are not alone."
The presenter was heard to inhale sharply. Dr. Mitchell continued that he had knowledge" that we have been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real-though it's been covered up by governments for the last 60 years or so."
This is not the first time that Dr. Mitchell has referred to the existence of extraterrestrials, but it is the first time that he has given this detail.
He spent 9 hours on the moon as part of the Apollo 14 mission on February 9, 1971.
NASA's statement was, "NASA does not track UFOs. Dr. Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinion on this issue." Hmmmm...
