Former astronaut claims alien cover-up

Moon-walker claims alien contact cover-up

Quote:
FORMER NASA astronaut and moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell - a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission - has stunningly claimed aliens exist.

And he says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly covered up by governments for six decades.

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".
Some things that jumped out at me:

* News.com.au seemed to feel that adjectives like "stunningly" and "chillingly" needed to be added to give the article some dramatic effect.

* When will we ever meet aliens that are actually inferior to us technologically? Why do those bastards always show up with big-ass ray guns?

* There's been a government coverup of aliens since Roswell in 1947. That means that, for 61 years, NOBODY in the government has leaked anything unless they stood to make money in a book (I'm looking at you, Phil Corso) or were just certifiably whacko (Looking at you, Bob Lazar). Not even the Mafia, with their internal code of death for snitching, has been that tight lipped. That's pretty impressive, Government People. I feel so much safer knowing you can erase memories after people are no longer of any use to you.

*Why don't aliens ever visit the terrorists?

* We have advanced light years (metaphorically speaking) in the last ten to fifteen years in the science of forensics. Police can now extract DNA from hair fragments, analyze the source of metals and install remote monitoring cameras all over the main cities. So what happens? Those tricksy aliens land in deserted forests out in the boonies and kidnap cousin Bubba so they can stick things in his butt?

Hey, if I travelled for thousands of light years across the galaxies, I know the first thing I would want to do is probe people's poopers. And then I'd make circles in all the crops because even though I could navigate that far through deep space, I can't find my bunghole with both probiscis. Road signs would help so much.
