NASA Astronaut - Alien cover up!

Well, it's not exactly news. Mitchell has been blithering about aliens since at least 1998.

Seeing as he was, in his words, "privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet," you'd think he could list some of the evidence that he saw. Yet, despite his claims of UFO contact and government coverup, he still has not explained exactly what he witnessed that led him to his conclusion.

I'm sure he was a great astronaut.

What...provide proof of his claims? Naw, that would be to easy...he'd rather just babble endlessly and make baseless claims.
 
At 77, I hope it's not an issue of his mind being less clear because that would be sad. Even with his history of woo beliefs, how bizarre that he would back Roswell and claim insider information about that, of all things. Hasn't that been thoroughly explained to the satisfaction of everyone but the nuttiest UFO types? I never would have pegged him as one of those.
 
At a woo forum I visit, one of the woos said that Mitchell can't remember walking on the moon. Another woo said that that is because we never went to the moon. Delusion or senility doesn't exist in wooland.

Were his claims true, wouldn't he have been killed by now?

This question always annoys me! Why would any secret cabal be in any rush to silence these dissenting voices, when there is a mass media machine ready to rip them to shreds, the moment they pop their heads above the parapet?:confused:

And when is this "mass media machine" going to start ripping "them to shreds"? Must be on a channel I can't receive! :mad:

Well, one would first have to take them seriously before that process could start. Name me a significant number of incidents where the news media has treated these reports with anything beyond the standard ridicule and disbelief?

Why should they? Why should anyone take these claims seriously?

Something called evidence would be really helpful in making the claims a tad bit more plausible.

If these people had physical 'evidence', they probably would be dead!
 
I admit, this has slightly raised the possibility that we have already been visited by aliens, in my mind. After all, he would be considered an authority, and the point of a conspiracy of this size being improbable is that someone would eventually let it slip. This could be a case of such.

It raises the possibility from .00001 to .00002, mind you, but there you go. If there is substantiating evidence, it could be raised higher.
 
And the conspiracy kooks claim the astronauts got past the Van Allen belt unscathed.

Clearly not.
 
But what in hell is the purpose of an alien cover-up?,.... and for decades!

On one hand we have SETI, a US effort to detect ET life, and on the other hand we are told that the US covers up ET findings. Silly.

I can imagine that the US has a lot more to gain declaring that they have ET evidence than hiding it. Why covering it up?

It's called using your imagination. It's what a detective usually works with before they have found any clues!

No. It's called unjustified wild speculation. I prefer to call it slander but to each their own.

I'm still waiting for my answer.
Oh, yeah what "clues" have your detective found?

Oh yeah, I just noticed.

You used "imagination" as an explanation as to why UFO true believers don't have any physical evidence by "imagining" that they'll be dead?

Wow...great logic.

Just off the top of my head -- the Phoenix Lights. The ""Learning"" Channel here in Canada just finished its "UFO Week". Scarcely a sensible word to be heard.

A quick Google for <UFO poll belief +2008> turns up:
http://www.scrippsnews.com/node/34758
Most Americans say it is very likely or somewhat likely that humans are not alone in the universe and that intelligent life exists on other planets.

Only a third of adults, however, believe it's either very likely or somewhat likely that intelligent aliens from space have visited our planet, according to a survey of 1,003 adults conducted by Scripps Howard News Service and Ohio University.

The poll revealed that one in every 12 Americans has seen a mysterious object in the sky that might have been a visitor from another world, while nearly one in every five personally knows someone who has seen an unidentified flying
object.

Ha. Ha. The article continues with the implication that the "Phoenix Lights" are unexplained and gets pretty much the whole history of UFOlogy wrong.

The mass media is staffed with BA graduates who became scared of science in high school.

*To hold onto "power"...

When you look at ANY 'government' actions, that is ultimately the answer.

IF the American government, or any government for that matter, came forth and openly admitted, that they were not the 'ultimate power', and that something was 'more capable' then them...what would the result be?

Not to mention what would happen, when they found out that their government has been LYING to them for decades...

SETI doesn't look for or listen for "near Earth U.F.O.'s", they are looking to other stars for signals.

Maybe they should look close to home...
