Dr. Edgar Mitchell, a former Apollo 14 astronaut and the sixth man to walk on the Moon has come out publicly to say extraterrestrial beings exist and have visited the Earth. During an interview on a British radio program last week Mitchell confirmed knowledge of NASA and government cover-ups of alien visitations to our planet including the famous incident near Roswell, New Mexico where it has long been rumored (but never confirmed) that a spaceship with alien occupants had crashed in 1947.

At the moment it’s all hearsay, and skeptics want to see some real evidence, but you have to admit Mitchell adds some credibility to the subject. The fact that all this has come out at the same time the new X-Files movie is opening could just be a coincidence or just another piece of the conspiracy. You can decide for yourself.

Former Astronaut Sally Ride: Photo courtesy NASA (Columbia Accident Investigation Board photo by Rick Stiles 2003).I listened to astronaut Sally Ride on the radio this morning talking about the importance of science, and science in education, particularly for girls. You can find information about it on her website Sally Ride Science.

The site has links to science festivals, books, science camps and toys for young people, along with information for educators. It also includes a blog with teacher Barbara Morgan, the 1st Educator Astronaut, who launched into space on the space shuttle Endeavour just two days ago on August 8.
