A former NASA astronaut who walked on the Moon as a member of the Apollo 14 mission, has made the extraordinary claim that aliens have visited Earth several times during his career.

Dr. Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to have stepped on the Moon, told British radio station Kerrang! that he believes Earth visits by aliens have been covered up by world governments.
Dr. Mitchell (77) said that, while their technology was highly sophisticated, aliens meant no harm to humans.
"There's not much question at all that there's life throughout the universe, we are not alone at all," he commented. "I'm most assured about that."
"Have we been able to identify where the other planets are? No, certainly not in our Solar System but we have been able to identify quite a number of planets that could be life bearing planets," Dr. Mitchell added. "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 also claimed to have been briefed on the alien "visits".
"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. I've been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes -- we have been visited," he said.
However NASA quickly moved to disassociate itself from Dr. Mitchell's comments. While describing him as a "great American," the space agency said that it "does not track UFOs," and also denied that it was "involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe."
Dr. Mitchell, along with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, continues to hold the record for the longest ever moon walk, which was recorded at nine hours and seventeen minutes during their 1971 mission.
