Apollo 14 Astronaut Claims Aliens Have made Contact
This is old news, but it's been recycled by the Daily Mail:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1037471/Apollo-14-astronaut-claims-aliens-HAVE-contact--covered-60-years.html

"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."

1. Ask any Briton about the Daily Mail's reputation
It's right-wing, nutty, misogynist, racist, homophobic, and yes it loves its woo too.

3. But the source is unimpeachable - Kerrang! radio
:rofl: Yet another journalistic scoop for the heavy-metal channel. I always say you can trust a media source with an exclamation mark in its title. Like L!VE TV and its "topless darts in space" programme.

4. Wow Kerrang! Radio just adds credibility
they're as believable as the cultish apocalyptic racists who phone into talkSPORT in the UK and assess where they think the country is heading.

2. Yeah I asked in the thread on this in GD...
OK, so if all this is true, WHY is it still being kept officially secret? Certainly Americans & people all over the world have a concept now of what an "alien" could be. We are exposed to some pretty advanced technology all around us. Exactly what kind of horrible damage would it cause if the "truth" of alien visitation came out? Are we still hiding it from the Commies? I don't get it.

Actually, what I *do* get is that Dr. Mitchell is plugging his latest book right now. But naw, it can't be the simple fact that he's a bit looney and wants to make some money. ALIENS ARE REAL!

5. Exposure to aliens would prove that the WTC was felled by a tactical nuke
The good people of America simply can't bear a truth of that magnitude.

7. No doubt.....it's not a case of a advance civilization coming in contact with a
primitive civilization. It's an advanced civilization coming in contact with an even more advanced civilization. Big difference.

Not only that, but aliens might be the only thing that causes tribalistic tendencies to go global...instead of being races, we're just humans. We have somebody new to hate and kill, lol.
