Astronauts who have seen ufos? Greys? In the past couple of years, there have been a number of reports claiming that astronauts from various manned space flights saw UFOs during their missions. Claims such as these are not new and date back to at least 1961 when it was reported that astronaut Gordon Cooper saw two UFOs on his Mercury 9 mission (something he later denied). Similarly, in 2013, two Russian astronauts claimed they had seen a circular flying object - apparently a UFO - but this sighting was refuted by NASA. However, what is different now is that some people are starting to think that this spate of recent sightings could be the result of aliens wanting to make contact with us.
The most famous (and perhaps most credible) recent astronaut UFO sighting is that of Apollo 14 astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell who specifically claimed to have witnessed aliens and their UFOs. He told the Mirror that: "My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth. As far as I'm concerned there is no doubt that we are being visited." He also added: "I happen to have been privileged enough to be in on the fact that we've been visited on this planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real." Mitchell - who just happens to be the sixth man to walk on the Moon - is not completely alone in believing in such things. Whilst he is the most high-profile and credible sighting, there have been several other reports from different astronauts over the years.
But what evidence is there that may support these claims? So far, no actual physical evidence of UFOs has yet been found by NASA or the military. The closest we've come to this so far has been with technology such as radar-type sightings and strange atmospheric disturbances on weather satellites. But no solid proof of interacting alien life has yet been found either...
The main argument for these claims is that anomalies can be detected in the patterns and intensities of UFO encounters, something which makes it seem possible for them to be aliens trying to make the first contact with us. To an extent, this argument seems credible. Since the 1960s alone, there have been over 2,000 UFO encounters reported to authorities in the United States - some of which was apparently confirmed by the military (see List of UFO claims). If that's just a tiny fraction of them (and we know it is), then maybe there are many more that are not being registered. This would be enough to make it seem like aliens do not just want to make contact with us, but that they want us to know about it too.
Much of the evidence for these claims comes from researchers such as Dr. Steven Greer who had his own sighting in 1993. He reported seeing a Mars-type craft in the skies over Phoenix, Arizona which was later taken to Washington for further analysis. He also claims that he and a group of scientists had been given classified briefings by the Pentagon and NASA on what they found.
Greer, who is co-founder of The Disclosure Project, is not alone in his beliefs either. Another notable sighting occurred in the 1980s when an alien craft was allegedly seen by retired General Charles Halt which has since led him to claim that there are UFO bases on Earth. There have also been several other sightings such as those recorded from multiple astronauts who saw some kind of "space needle" or something similar above the Earth's atmosphere.
While some of these UFO sightings seem to be attributable to aliens, it is important to remember that they are not all of this nature. There are many other sightings that have been attributed to hoaxes or "plants" by the military in order to hide certain information.
What is also important to note when dealing with these claims is that many of them are contradictory in nature. For example, apparently, there are at least three bases on Earth and they were discovered both from official and unofficial sources like the 2010 Wikileaks disclosures from Edward Snowden and Guardian's Martin Bryant's book called "Dark Moon: Apollo & the Whistleblowers". The issue with this information is that its validity was never actually proven.
