    Alien claims - Why from these people?

    http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/04/20/u...ef=mpstoryview (astronaut claims alien life)

    What’s the thought when we have respected(or should be) people who have been in space claiming there is aliens and a cover-up? Not saying this story is anything big, just not the first time I have read about an astronaut claiming alien life. Some said they have seen it from space and some don’t even claim to have an actual experience just inside information. Have they just gone nuts?


    What do you guys think when a former astronaut or high ranking military official claims that they have been keeping a secret all these years? And let’s look past the really crazy cover-ups where people claimed to be drugged and whatnot. I’m just wondering what people think when people who should know better are claiming these things. And who would it take to make you really start to ask questions? What if say a former president(doesn’t matter who) were to say it were true?
    <O</O
    I guess another question is would you believe other people about aliens or does it take a firsthand experience?<O</O

    I don't know what to believe sometimes. I think if the truth is going to come out, it will be sooner than later. If the aliens mean us no harm, then I really don't think the truth will come out. But If they do .............. we might want to start planning for some **** to go down.

      Don't know if there are Aliens or not. But there are crazy people or people trying to promote their own agenda regardless of profession. Just because Senator, Cop, Military, etc. says something, you better make sure you see their proof before you take their word for it.

      At this point, with Photo Shop and Renderings, I'd have to see an Alien in my back yard before I believed it.

          Much like when people use the *insert scientist* believes in *insert religion*, I pay them no mind. He said he heard the stories as a kid, not that he saw them in space or heard about them at NASA.

          This is no different than every kid being told "OMG I SAW AN ALIEN/BIGFOOT/NESSY"

            Yea his story wasnt worth much but i was just using him as an example of astronauts talking to the press. Sometimes i do think they are saying it just to get their name back in the papers

              Well Buzz Aldrin and others have admitted to seeing some strange things and such during their space missions so it's not like these guys have NEVER seen anything that could be ET in origin. I think i'd at least give someone like Mitchell the benefit of the doubt as he's been up there in space unlike 99.9% of the people who make these kinda claims.

                I'd imagine being in space you do see some crazy things. Considering it's space, not regular old Earth.

                But seriously, I believe in life of some kind outside of us. But I don't understand when people write off life on some planets because the living conditions make it impossible to live there. But if they are aliens, they might not need the same things as us. Maybe they feed off those conditions and can't exist on OUR planet?

                Crazy stuff. I've don't have any alien stories and I hope I never do. But sure I believe in it, though I don't really care much about it. That is, until we have UFO's picking us off as we're walking down the street.

                  I can practically guarantee that there are forms of life somewhere out there in the universe. But at the same time, it's really unlikely that we've ever come in contact with any alien life forms. The sheer size of the universe ensures that there has to have been some life at some point somewhere in the universe but the same sheer size also makes it very unlikely that they would be able to contact or come near us.

                    Most astronauts seem to not believe in aliens, though. And I'd say that being in space with no gravity and such will probably make you start imagining things and possible even hallucinate, which explains a lot of these claims IMO.

                    I certainly don't buy any of these claims because, even if aliens do exist, I don't believe we'll ever come into contact with them due to the vastness of space.

                      Well you got to be pretty naive to think we are the ONLY life form in the galaxy. All that space, it has to be other species out there. I have heard from a former astronaut that back in the 80s when they went to the moon, that on certain sides of the moon, there are actual buildings, landing strips, airport towers and installations on there.

                      Being the time when I was in the army, I seen 1st hand how the government cover up a lot of things that we done over seas. It is so much my unit had done over seas, it will never see the light of day in the USA.

                      They just cover it up and blame it on a freak accident. That is the usual standard cover line.

                        That's 3 former astronauts that have come forward.

                        Buzz Aldrin, Gordon Cooper and now Edgar Mitchell.

                        I guess they're all crazy though. Just like former Gov. Fife Symington also. Ronald Reagan, Dennis Kucinch, Jimmy Carter, etc.

                        Yep, they're all nuts.

                            People have been drawing/seeing UFO's for thousands of years, I guess every century has it's UFO believing "nutjobs". I suggest turning the volume down if you watch the video.
