To date, there are no official statements about the existence or detection of aliens. But even in the absence of clear evidence of how aliens are watching us, NASA astronauts claim; extraterrestrial beings are already among us.
Some are afraid of such statements, others are simply ridiculous as jokes from astronauts. Edgar Mitchell is one of those people who went into space and went to the moon. The astronaut was on a journey to collect soil samples from the moon and return home. This was one of his last works outside the Earth.
After retiring, Mitchell once said an amazing phrase; I'm 90% sure that many of the thousands of unidentified objects recorded since 1940 are visitors from other planets. Leading conversations and discussions on this topic, he assured in several questions that UFOs are real.
Astronaut Mitchell spoke with world leaders who have come into contact with aliens, but, in their opinion, this information should not be made public. Likewise, he openly said that governments around the world have been hiding the reality from the public for over 60 years.
Nevertheless, the astronaut spoke with confidence about the veracity of the Roswell incident involving extraterrestrials. The US government has hidden this story for decades, showing an object made on the ground that fell from the sky.
In addition to the above, the astronaut has repeatedly mentioned how aliens stopped nuclear problems during the Cold War. They saved the planet and people from nuclear war and its harsh consequences. Also, aliens contacted the Vatican to help humanity.
I saw a flying saucer

Donald Slayton supports his colleague's statements about the presence of aliens within the Earth. The astronaut participated in Project Mercury, the United States' first space flight program to prepare a manned flight to the moon. He later served as director of operations for NASA's flight team.
However, first of all, in 1951, Donald saw an alien spacecraft, at least that is how he identified an unknown object. "It looked like a saucer at a 45 degree angle […] soon it took off and I could no longer see it." True, Slayton went into space as part of the Soviet-American space project "Soyuz - Apollo" only in 1975.
Gordon Cooper was also part of the Mercury project, and was a member of other missions (Gemini) in which he was able to fly over the planet. Like his colleague Slayton, he met UFOs long before the general popularity of the topic of aliens. Interestingly, Cooper also saw something strange in 1951, when the active phase of the construction of a secret laboratory in the famous Area 51 began.
Upon retirement, Cooper stated, "I believe these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews visit the planet … they are much more advanced than Earth." "Aliens will not contact us until we learn to resolve conflicts by peaceful means, and not from a position of strength," the astronaut once suggested.
And finally, Brian O'Leary, who was part of a group of NASA astronauts on a very ambitious project for the middle of the last century. NASA wanted to get to Mars, and leave traces there like on the Moon! But in the end, the too daring project was canceled because it was impossible to implement.
After retirement, he became friends with Carl Sagan and gave lectures at Cornell University. While in retirement, Brian O'Leary talked about the presence of aliens on Earth that sparked strong technological advances. The astronaut's opinion is this: Extraterrestrial civilizations have been watching us for a long time.
Intriguing statements by astronauts fuel the hope of people who believe in good extraterrestrial intelligence. In others, potentially existing siblings cause fear of alien invasion.
