Astronaut Edgar Mitchell Claims Alien Cover-up

Dr. Edgar Mitchell is a veteran of the Apollo 14 mission and he was the sixth man to walk on the Moon. Dr. Mitchell also insists that aliens have visited Earth and that governments are actively covering it up. "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," Dr Mitchell said. "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. Reading the papers recently, it's been happening quite a bit." Dr Mitchell, who has a Bachelor of Science degree in aeronautical engineering and a Doctor of Science degree in Aeronautics and Astronautics claimed Roswell was real and similar alien visits continue to be investigated. He told the astonished Kerrang! radio host Nick Margerrison: "This is really starting to open up. I think we're headed for real disclosure and some serious organisations are moving in that direction." NASA issued a quick denial. In a statement, a spokesman said: "NASA does not track UFOs. NASA is not involved in any sort of cover up about alien life on this planet or anywhere in the universe. "Dr Mitchell is a great American, but we do not share his opinions on this issue." If Dr. Mitchell is correct about a cover-up than this is exactly the type of denial one would expect NASA to make.

Accuweather and NHC Forecast Paths for Gustav Differ in Gulf

Accuweather and NHC Forecast Paths for Gustav Differ in Gulf

The tale of two tracks. Accuweather and the National Hurricane Center currently have forecast tracks that vary considerably for Gustav once it enters the Gulf of Mexico. Accuweather's forecast has all of Texas in the cone. The official forecast path from the NHC is right of Accuweather's cone.

The local National Weather Service (NWS) offices will obviously be focusing on the NHC's forecast. It is also the one the public should and will be paying close attention to. However, it is curious that Accuweather's path is so different from the NHC's path - especially since they partially base their forecast on information from the National Hurricane Center. Both Accuweather and the NHC forecast a strong Category 3 or higher system in the Gulf of Mexico. Both forecasts are also subject to large errors because landfall is still several days away.

The Accuweather forecast image was obtained here and the NHC forecast was obtained from the National Hurricane Center's website.
