Very few people have had the opportunity to leave the planet Earth and go to outer space. Some have even been able to set foot on another heavenly body, including a number who have been on the moon.
It’s a huge privilege to be able to be one of the select group of people who get to go into space. They get to see and do things that most people will never be able to see or do.
There are still some, however, who question whether they see things and they simply cover it up. This includes UFOs, and it may actually happen more often than we realize.
Anita Mitchell is the wife of an Apollo astronaut, Edgar Mitchell. He was the sixth man to walk on the moon back in 1971, and she claims that he used to tell her secrets about what he saw while in space.
She reported that he would encounter strange things and it wasn’t out of the ordinary to see something out of the ordinary.
She said: “He always felt that there were UFOs out there because so many of the pilots and astronauts had seen something.”
Some of his crewmates even may have seen mysterious objects and a strange craft. This includes Apollo astronaut James McDivitt.
Mitchell said: “I remember Gordy [Project Mercury astronaut Leroy Gordon Cooper Jr.] telling us at a dinner party in our house that he had seen something.
“He said, ‘Listen, we have nothing that goes that fast and goes that high’.”
Cooper was a part of the Gemini and Mercury Projects and the early missions. She has so many stories from astronauts who worked for NASA that she decided to write a new book, entitled: ‘You Don’t Look Like An Astronaut’s Wife’.
She was married from 1973 to 1984 to her astronaut husband, who passed away in 2016. He was always open with her about what he believed was in space, even trying to get the US government to reveal all of the details of possible alien life.
He even asked for the release of information in 2009 that he claimed the US government was hiding about UFOs.
At the time he said: “We are being visited. It is now time to put away this embargo of truth about the alien presence. I call upon our government to open up … and become a part of this planetary community that is now trying to take our proper role as a spacefaring civilisation.
“The sun will burn out in due course, and we have to be off this planet if our species is to survive. At this point in human history on this planet, we’re now starting, and should be, to reach out beyond our planet and then beyond our solar system to find out what is really going on out there.”
As far as Mitchell is concerned, she believes what her late husband claimed. She said: “Do you really think we are the only intelligence in the universe? Because if we are, the universe is in trouble.”
