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.

Snow in the Southwest (weather.com)

17.12.2006 17:42 Science - Source: Yahoo Science

Snow has fallen over several Rocky Mountain States today, specifically across parts of Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. Up to a foot and a half of new powder had coated some Wasatch Mountain locations as of this morning, while as much as 1-2 feet of wind-blown snow had sifted down over portions of southern Wyoming. This snow is expected to taper off tonight. Attention will now turn to a developing upper low over the Southwest. As the upper low slowly progresses east early this week, precipitation will become more widespread Monday night through Tuesday over northern Arizona, New Mexico, southern Utah and southern Colorado. Winter storm watches are posted over much of New Mexico and extend eastward into the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles for late Monday night through early Wednesday morning. Significant snows are on the way to portions of New Mexico and southern Colorado with some high terrain areas picking up more than a foot. Gusty winds will also develop over New Mexico Monday night into Tuesday with gusts up to 50 mph in Albuquerque and up to 65 mph below Canyons. Meanwhile, freezing rain may become an issue over the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles by early Tuesday as warm, moist air flows over cold air at the surface.
