As the man with the current record for the longest ever moonwalking sesh, Dr. Edgar Mitchell knows a thing or two about space and the shit that’s in it. And he says one of those things are aliens, whose visits to earth have been the subject of a complete cover up by the US, and other world governments:

Dr Edgar Mitchell, said he was aware of several UFO visits during his career, but each one had been covered up.

The 77-year-old, who was a crew member of the Apollo 14 mission, said sources at the space agency had described aliens as resembling “little people who look strange to us”.

Dr Mitchell told Kerrang! Radio that human technology was “not nearly as sophisticated” as theirs and had they been hostile, he warned: “We would be been gone by now”.

He said: “There’s not much question at all that there’s life throughout the universe, we are not alone at all. I’m most assured about that.

“Have we been able to identify where the other planets are? No, certainly not in our Solar System but we have been able to identify quite a number of planets that could be life bearing planets.

“I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we’ve been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomena is real.

“It’s been well covered up by all our governments for the last 60 years or so, but slowly it’s leaked out and some of us have been privileged to have been briefed on some of it.

“I’ve been in military and intelligence circles, who know that beneath the surface of what has been public knowledge, yes – we have been visited.

We’ll see, I guess.

Though our planet has long been known to emit a mysterious low hum that scientists have postulated might be generated by oceans or winds or other natural phenomena, new research shows that it also emits a powerful array of radiation-spawned, high-pitched chirps and whistles, that shoot out like a beam from the earth’s magnetic field deep into space. This means that anyone out there listening would be able to hear it and pinpoint earth’s location, and we can do the same:

The Auroral Kilometric Radiation (AKR), as it is called, is beamed out in a narrow plane, as if someone had put a mask over a torch and left a slit for the radiation to escape.

This flat beam could be detected by aliens who’ve figured this process out, the researchers say. The knowledge could also be used by Earth’s astronomers to detect planets around other stars, if they can build a new radio telescope big enough for the search. They could also learn more about Jupiter and Saturn by studying AKR, which should emit from the auroral activity on those worlds, too.

Thankfully, our ionosphere blocks the sounds from reaching earth:

The radio waves are blocked by the ionosphere, a charged layer atop our atmosphere, so they do not reach Earth. That’s good, because the out-of-this-world radio waves are 10,000 times stronger than even the strongest military signal, the researchers said, and they would overwhelm all radio stations on the planet.

Hear them for yourself, here. Someone needs to put that shit into some IDM. Give the aliens something to grind on when they finally get here, fuckers.

Stan Winston passed away last night. He is a legend and will always be remembered for the films and cultural icons he created. Winston is responsible for his amazing works: Jurassic Park, The Terminator, Predator, Pumpkinhead, Monster Squad and Aliens. He oversaw these films, worked on effects and scuplted some of the most memorable creatures in movie history.

Winston is an Oscar winner for his make-up and visual effects in Aliens, Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park. He was also nominated for his work on Edward Scissorhands, Batman Returns, The Lost World, AI, Predator and Heartbeeps. Stan Winston studios will keep his memory alive.
