Aliens Are Out There-Apollo 14 Astronaut So Claims

Posted July 24, 2008 8:25 AM

From Newlaunches.com:

Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission. But that's not his claim to fame for the moment; according to him aliens have been making contact with humans and the governments are hiding this from the public. In midst of conversation with Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison, Dr Edgar revealed that our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned 'we would be been gone by now'. Describing them as 'little people who look strange to us', the aliens were similar to the "traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head."

Wait. Why would we believe Dr. Mitchell? He's BEEN AWAY FROM EARTH. That automatically makes his motives extremely suspicious.

Only an alien (or a human who has been taken over by aliens) would be so cunning as to announce to the world that aliens truly exist. If aliens have studied us, they know that by openly admitting they exist the natural response by humans will be to laugh and reassure themselves that aliens DON'T really exist.

BUT...by exposing this clever line of deception, I myself have ruined their little scheme. I've just proved that aliens DO exist!!!!

Although...that just reinforces their original plan. By proving that they do exist, I've invited exactly the sort of scorn and ridicule that will convince other humans that they DON'T exist. Dang! Sneaky alien rotters!

However...maybe they weren't counting on me to reveal that they're using people like me who incidentally "prove" that they DON'T exist by demonstrating how they use people like me to prove that they really DO exist. AH-HA!! Now I've got them!

Unless...what if I'M actually an alien? As far as you know I could be. But if so, what exactly am I trying to prove?

Of course aliens exist. How else do you explain the likes of Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson and Lindsay Lohan? For that matter, I'm living proof there's life out there, since I was born in a galaxy far, far away.

Of coarse there are aliens. There are Vulcans, Klingons, Romulans, the Crystal Entity to name a few. I could go on and on.

Don't forget Pharengi and Borg. Two very important ones.

Honestly my fellow men(and women)when you look up into the night sky and see all those stars and such-you mean we're the only intelligent beings out there?I doubt it.I think these "aliens" are still waiting for mankind to evolve more before they make their introduction.

Of course there are aliens out there. But, if they work cheap enough we will give them a green card.

Don't forget to be PC about this, ok? Not aliens... No too harmful, not illegals either, bad connotations of mischievious people... How about migrant visitors from another star? What? Oh, I think the aliens thing is just fine and dandy. Had to get my aluminum foil hat on my head in order to get away from their mind control...

I read something a few years ago by either Arthur C. Clarke or Isaac Asimov, but can't find it to verify the source or exact wording, but it ran something like...

"Either there is intelligent life on other planets or we are alone in the universe. Either way it's a sobering thought."

Found it!

"Sometimes I think we're alone in the universe, and sometimes I think we're not. In either case the idea is quite staggering."

And one which I absolutely refuse to contemplate without a good supply of anti-sobering agent close at hand! I'd recommend it to Dr. Edgar as well...

Who was it that said, "Of course there is intelligent life in the universe. They've used this planet as their loony bin!"?
