Apollo Astronaut Says UFOs Came to Prevent Nuclear War

Mitchell even has the specific date when extra terrestrials first came into contact with human beings in the White Sands deserts of New Mexico, as he explained that it took place on July 16, 1945.

However, Nick Pope, an earlier Ministry of Defence UFO researcher, said that Dr Mitchell’s comments are totally based on second-hand reports.

“It’s a nice thought, but if I’m being skeptical, I’d point out that it’s nearly exactly the plot of the classic 1951 sci-fi movie The Day the Earth Stood Still“, he continued.

Mitchell won’t name names on who told him about the peace-loving aliens.

“The ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth”.

“They wanted to know about our military capabilities”, he said. The reason was that if people spot some “secret prototype aircraft or drone”, it was much easier to have it reported as a UFO.

There are many claims about UFO sightings all over the world, but experts are still not convinced about the existence of aliens until scientific studies proved it. However, the sixth man to walk on moon has confessed about alien’s visit on our planet.

At 84 years old, Mitchell resides in Hereford, Texas, the same town where he was born.

After my space flight, I was contacted by descendants of the original Roswell observers, including the person who delivered the child-sized coffins to the Air Force to contain alien bodies. “Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their (test) missiles were frequently shut down by alien spacecraft”, said Mitchell.

According to Mitchell, it is likely that real-life aliens are similar to what people think about them – a small frame with large eyes and head.

“They told me UFOs were frequently seen overhead and often disabled their missiles”, he goes on to say.

Apollo 14 veteran Edgar Mitchell. He has regularly spoken about his belief in aliens, saying that top-ranking military sources spotted UFOs during weapons test, according to Mirror Online. While the organization respects Dr. Mitchell’s contributions, they were sure to reiterate that they did not agree with his views.
