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.

Largest European Dinosaur Found

Largest European Dinosaur Found The fossils of a

dinosaur measuring as long as an NBA basketball court were recently recovered in Spain, establishing that Europe was home to giant dinosaurs millions of years ago.

The biggest dinosaurs, called Sauropods [image], were previously thought to have roamed only the New World and Africa. But the discovered fossils of a Sauropod [image] point to what may have been the largest terrestrial animal in Europe and one of the most massive in the world, scientists write in the Dec. 22 issue of the journal Science.

This dinosaur, called Turiasaurus riodevensis for the Teruel area and Riodeva—the village where the fossil site [image] is located—is estimated to have weighed between 40 to 48 tons.

"The humerus—the long bone in the foreleg that runs from the shoulder to the elbow—was as large as an adult," said Brooks Hanson, Science's deputy editor, physical sciences. The claw of the first digit of its pes, or hoof, is the size of an NFL football.

The fossils allowed scientists to group the Sauropods found in Europe into a previously unrecognized branch with more primitive features than those found elsewhere from the Jurassic period, about 150 to 200 million years ago.

This dinosaur is more evolutionary primitive than other known giant Sauropods, Hanson said.
