Aliens Have Visited Us... Didn't You Know That?
Posted by Frank J. at 10:38 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (30)

Dr. Edgar Mitchell, an Apollo 14 astronaut, says he was aware of many UFO visits to Earth while he was with NASA, but each was covered up.

Oh, okay. Thanks for telling us.

I like NASA's denial: "Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue." So government UFO conspiracies are opinions now? "In our opinion, we haven't covered up visits from aliens... but that's just our opinion." Just doesn't seem like a very forceful denial.

Still, I have trouble believing any conspiracy that involves more than four or five people having to keep a huge secret for an extended period of time. If aliens really had visited multiple times, we would have had people confessing about this decades ago. And why cover it up? What's the government logic on that?

AGENT1: "We've discovered the lost city of Atlantis. What should we do?"

AGENT2: "Excellent. Now let's cover it up so no one ever knows."

AGENT1: "Why?"

AGENT2: "Because then when people finally find out and are like, 'Wow! That's amazing!' we can say, 'So what? We've known about that for fifty years.' It'll be funny. Now finish your bigfoot stew, but if your wife asks what you had for lunch, say you had Taco Bell."

And wouldn't a president have pulled the "Hey! We've been visited by aliens!" card by now? Bill Clinton could have really used that during the whole Lewinsky thing. And it would be a nice distraction for Bush now. Plus, could you really keep someone like Carter quiet on that, especially if you explained to him it was vital to national security?

Still, just in case, I would like to know how to kill them. They may be technologically advanced, but I bet they have a deadly weakness to something simple and common to us like the aliens from War of the Worlds. I bet it's shotguns.

I bet it's shotguns and/or "Puberty Love" on vinyl.

Rickrolling. If you rickroll them, they die of shock.

Seriously, what's actually going on here is that Mitchell is aware of events which were investigated as possible UFO visits. Knowing as he does that something happened and there was an investigation, his opinion is that this event was a UFO visit. Knowing the results of that investigation, NASA's opinion differs.

This is common in classified information scenarios. Unable to know the answer to their question no matter what it is, people frequently conclude that it's the answer nobody would want them to know. The truth is you just don't get to know the answer, even if it's something stupid like "some rednecks filled a weather balloon with fireworks".

"Opinion"? Either it was a series of cover-ups, or it wasn't. Perceptions, being views of facts, may vary. But it's not opinion. It's like this:

Fact: John Edwards has hair.
Opinion: John Edwards' hair is pretty.
Perception: John Edwards may have reason to fake having a love child with a square-jawed woman.

Of course there have been UFO visits to earth. Just listen to Dennis Kucinich.

Just get Hillary to cackle at them.

Wait, she would probably side with the aliens. Forget it.

#6 - Posted by: MarkoMancuso on July 24, 2008 12:04 PM

The aliens are just here trying to do work Earthlings won't do.

#7 - Posted by: nightfly on July 24, 2008 12:06 PM

Hey, the Vatican is jiggy with aliens now, too. So that means it's okay to "believe."

#8 - Posted by: Jimmy on July 24, 2008 12:06 PM

And why does this report come to light just before the release of the newest X-files movie? Is it just a cooincidence or a cover-up for something much more sinister? The truth is out there...

#9 - Posted by: Ernie Loco on July 24, 2008 12:19 PM

The real reason the aliens are here is to obtain our chocolate, coffee and ice cream. Oh, and BBQ'd ribs - thus the cattle mutilations. It's rumored they also like tacos and Mexicans.

#10 - Posted by: Jimmy on July 24, 2008 12:19 PM

And I bet these damn aliens have Holodecks like Star Trek The Next Generation like those bastards in the future do. Great, now I'm pissed at the future and aliens.

Wait a minute, let's approach the aliens and do a deal. We give 'em YOBama, surely he's an alien, you think a guy with albatross (that's ALBATROSS! for my fellow Monty Python fans) wings for ears is a human? Puuleeze! And in return we get some Holodecks. At least me anyway. We get rid of Obama and I get a Holodeck! Sweeeeeet!

PS - If you think I seem a little obsessed with Holodecks, you're absolutely correct, sir. I want it, I want it, I...

And wouldn't a president have pulled the "Hey! We've been visited by aliens!" card by now?

Geez, Frank, do your research!! In the documentary, "Independence Day", the Secretary of Defense clearly states that the President doesn't know about aliens for "plausable deniability".

#12 - Posted by: on July 24, 2008 01:12 PM

The cool thing about aliens is that they know which country to visit.

Say they landed tomorrow in New Delhi, got out, walked around, and met with a bunch of people. Could India keep it from becoming public? Hell no, but while they might toy around with other countries occasionally like a drunken tourist in Tijuana, they know to focus on the one country and government that's worth it, the U.S.

We'll cover it up till kingdom come, but they know that we're the only ones who really matter.

#13 - Posted by: WAL on July 24, 2008 01:13 PM

I bet their weakness is shotguns. Probably anything else that fires lead. That is the reason for the cover up. Our political leaders, at least the DNC, are already blindly obedient to the aliens. They are probably trying to create a world were the circumstances are perfect for the aliens to openly take over, and then people to be thankful for being saved from the democrats stupidity. Also, if we do wish to resist, we won't have shotguns. Stupid liberals.

The other option is that the libs actually think their ideas are really good ideas. Somehow I can't just imagine them all being that stupid.

#14 - Posted by: Marvin on July 24, 2008 03:14 PM

We found out, just after the Second American Revolution - The Silent One, that stupidity kills them. We will probably be safe for another 4 years.

#15 - Posted by: Al Dente on July 24, 2008 03:27 PM

If they are comming here more than any where in the world, my guess is their weakness is people who don't bathe. Or they noticed everyone else in the world want's to come here so they thought this would be a good place to start.

#16 - Posted by: BigRichardSmall on July 24, 2008 03:57 PM

We've known this for like ever! Come on his name is Michael Jackson, DUHHHH

#17 - Posted by: mateo r on July 24, 2008 04:12 PM

I think he just has an axe to grind with the whole word because he's been to the moon and people still don't know who the hell he is.

Random Person: I know you. You're that guy ...

Edgar Mitchell: *adjusting tie pompously*

Random Person: You sang "Free Ride." I still love that tune, man. You rock!

#18 - Posted by: Brian on July 24, 2008 04:36 PM

I'm working on a sort of sci-fi story where, for a change, the aliens are visiting Earth to save our nuclear arsenal, and rather than liberate us from the shackles of materialistic capitalism, are from a trading company interested primarily in buying tea and licenses to distribute Hollywood films on their home planet.

"Still, I have trouble believing any conspiracy that involves more than four or five people having to keep a huge secret for an extended period of time."

On the other hand, Hollywierd and the MSM seemed to have done a very good job of convincing enough useful idiots that Obama is the next messiah and Al Gore knows what he's talking about. If that's not a dastardly conspiracy come true, I don't know what is!

#20 - Posted by: Eros on July 24, 2008 08:24 PM

Blogging sbout Aliens. When is the World News going to have their Alein Endorse one of the presidents. Or did he already endorse Ron Paul?

Marvin,
You totally misunderestimate the libs capacity for stupid.
And the aliens are already openly taking over via George Soros, et al.

#23 - Posted by: echo5a on July 24, 2008 10:43 PM

If aliens have spaceships capable of interstellar travel they not only have superior technology, they also have found a way to rid their society of liberals and environmental wackos.
Since Sputnik was launched and the space race began liberals and wackos have been belly aching about the cost, "Why don't we spend that money on curing deseases, feeding the hungry and building schools instead of wasting it sending rockets into space?".

(Proud Infidel - Brother Eye is watching you! 7/22 post: Frank Solves the Oil Crisis, comment 26!)

Of course, they also whine about spending money on new military equipment and anything else that's cool and might rebound to the nations' long term benefit.

Therefore if the aliens have perfected space travel they must also have perfected some means of shutting the whiney libtards among them the hell up.

That's the secret I wish they'd share with us!
Maybe they're afraid we'd advance too quickly without libs to hold us back.

Or maybe they're like the aliens in that old SNL skit; they just found a spaceship one day and haven't got a clue how it really works!

#24 - Posted by: 4 of 7 on July 24, 2008 11:46 PM

That explains the close elections. And all this time I thought it was those dead voters from the Chicago area. I saw one of these guys the other day who's name was Obama something or other (he whispered his middle name) i think he was lost because he said "Take me to myself"

Hee, hee. Kewl!!! You think he's recording what he sees? Should I tell my wife there's a sex video of us going to start making the rounds on 'The Net? Gee, I hope it's not the one were I play General George Patton (The idea is not to die for your country, but to make the other poor son of a bitch die for his!), that one was just a little over the top, even for me!

I WANT A CUT OF THE ROYALTIES OF THE VIDEO, BROTHER EYE!

I respect the Tech. But don't youse be don't posting videos of me without paying me a little respect, as in cash. You don't know who I know. Go pick on someone your own size like Sen. Edwards. Capice?

#22 - I've got three chapters so far.

#29 - Posted by: George guy on July 25, 2008 12:48 PM

I guess that explains Michael Jackson, Madonna, Pee Wee Herman, Jerry Lewis and Tom Cruise.

It could also explain where socks go between your feet and the dryer, who's stealing cell phones, spoons and babies pacifiers. What they are building with them I don't even want to know.
