The former American astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who landed on the moon as a member of the Apollo 14 crew, considers that the American, as well as other world governments, are hiding the truth about the existence of aliens, writes CNN.

“Our destiny, in my opinion, and we might as well get started with it, is [to] become a part of the planetary community. ... We should be ready to reach out beyond our planet and beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there” said Edgar Mitchell at a UFO activist meeting.

Mitchell grew up in the United States, in Roswell, New Mexico, where a UFO allegedly crashed in 1947. He mentioned the events that occurred there in 1947.

Edgar said that the military authorities hushed the local residents there to not talk about the events.

Confirmation from Pentagon

Mitchell has decided to speak about the events that he fellow townsmen told him, because he does not want to take the secret with him to the grave.

Allegedly, Mitchell arranged a meeting with an admiral in the Pentagon in order to talk about the events that occurred in 1947 in Roswell. According to his words, the admiral initially confirmed that a UFO fell in New Mexico, but he later denied it all.

“The universe that we live in is much more wondrous, exciting, complex and far-reaching than we were ever able to know up to this point in time” says Mitchell.

However, NASA claims that they do not participate in cover-ups concerning the existence of aliens, either on earth or in space.
