Apollo 14 astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth during his career with NASA but each one was covered up. According to Dr Edgar Mitchell aliens have contacted humans several times but U.S. governments have hidden the truth for 60 years, the sixth man to walk on the moon has claimed. Dr Mitchell, 77, said during a radio interview that sources at the space agency that who had contact with aliens described the beings as 'little people who look strange to us.'He said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

Dr Mitchell claimed that our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and "had they been hostile", he warned 'we would be been gone by now'. Dr Mitchell, along with with Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, holds the record for the longest ever moon walk, at nine hours and 17 minutes following their 1971 mission.
