‘Aliens tried to save America from nuclear war’: UFOs shot at missiles in White Sands to protect Earth, claims former astronaut

  • Comment made by Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon 
  • He says UFO stories from high-ranking military officials back up claim 
  • ‘Test missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft,’ he said 

Aliens came to Earth to stop a nuclear war between America and Russia, according the bizarre claim of a former astronaut.

Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, says high-ranking military officials witnessed alien ships during weapons tests throughout the 1940s.

The UFOs, he says, were spotted hovering over the world’s first nuclear weapons test which took place on July 16, 1945 in the desolate White Sands deserts of New Mexico.

Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the moon, says high-ranking military sources witness alien ships hovering during weapons tests. The UFOs, he says, were seen during the world’s first nuclear weapons test which took place on July 16, 1945 in the desolate White Sands deserts of New Mexico

The Nasa veteran has regularly spoken about his belief in aliens ever since he landed on the surface of the moon during the Apollo 14 mission in 1971.

‘White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons – and that’s what the extra-terrestrials were interested in,’ the 84-year-old Texan told Mirror Online.

‘They wanted to know about our military capabilities.

‘My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.’

Dr Mitchell says stories from people who manned missile bases during the 20th Century back up his claims.

He previously said supposedly real-life ET’s were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

He claimed our technology is ‘not nearly as sophisticated’ as theirs and ‘had they been hostile’, he warned ‘we would be been gone by now’.

Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence UFO researcher, told DailyMail.com that Dr Mitchell’s comments are all based on second-hand reports.

‘Even where Mitchell’s sources are genuine, how do we know they have access to classified information about UFOs?’ asks Pope.

UFO believers say it’s no coincidence that aliens showed up very shortly after we’d developed atomic weapons and rocket technology, as this is when they were alerted to the threat we pose to the wider cosmos.

‘Ironically, governments have sometimes secretly promoted belief in UFOs, because if someone sees a secret prototype aircraft or drone, it’s much better to have it reported as a flying saucer than recognised for what it is,’ said Pope.
