Is there life on Mars?
By Benny Har-Even in Editorial

Following on from my Star Trek related post yesterday, and in the fact that today is Earth Day, I thought it would be in the same spirit to mention this story I’ve just stumbled upon from CNN (dated last Monday) in which a former NASA astronaut, and the sixth man to walk on the moon, Edgar Mitchell - says that he believes that there is extraterrestrial indeed life in the universe and that the U.S. government has been withholding information about UFOs and visits to Earth by aliens.
Of course there are plenty of people ‘out there’ that will believe the same thing, but when a man who’s walked on the moon says it, it does tend to give his views more weight. (Not obviously, while he’s actually on the moon, seeing as it has one sixth the Earth’s gravity - see what I did there?)
This of course makes no sense, as the fact that you’ve walked on the moon doesn’t give you any more insight as to whether there are any other life forms out there, but what’s intriguing is that Mitchell actually grew up in Roswell, the famous place in New Mexico where the aliens are said to have crash landed, a fact then allegedly covered up by the U.S. government at the time. (Just see the documentary ‘Independence Day’ for more information).
Mitchell claims that residents of his hometown chose him to reveal their stories before they popped their clogs because “didn’t want to go to the grave with their story. They wanted to tell somebody reliable”.
Hmm. OK.
Truth be told, I’m perfectly willing to believe there’s intelligent life out there, somewhere. After all, as the old joke goes, there’s precious little of it down here on Earth….

His comments carry alot of weight. People need to stop acting like people are not seeing shit in the sky that they can’t explain. There are to many stories and witnesses that prove something is out there. If this was a court situation it only takes one person to testify to send your ass to jail. People will not believe unless they actually feel an extraterrestrial. And even then they will still deny it by thinking that they are demons. The man that walked on the moon is SMARTER than probably most people on this planet. If not he wouldn’t have wen’t to the mooon. They don’t send idiots to the moon. If he say UFO’s and ET’s exsist I believe him. It’s the same reason we get our rain coat when the weather man say it’s a 90% chance it’s going to rain. Astronauts are professionals in Space. People need to think and face that we are not alone in the Universe and never have we be alone.

Have you ever read Douglas Adams? The HG2G states there can’t be any intelligent life - anywhere. Infinite worlds/finite number of people = Zero (well as near as dammit). So Don’t Panic!
I do think there has to be something out there though. We are not alone.

Benny, it’s not the walking on the Moon that makes him someone we need to listen to - it’s the person he had to be and what he did to get there.

I do aswell believe there is intelligent life out there and the us government has made contact and is covering up the truth.
