Information appeared in the press that a certain resource published letters that American astronauts addressed to the government, claiming that there really were aliens. Based on the fact that they did not pay any attention to those letters at the time, the site concluded that the United States authorities know about the existence of aliens, but they deliberately hide it. Is there some truth here?
Actually, the fact that some of the American conquerors of the stellar expanses really believed in UFOs is confirmed, in particular, by the British media. There is a list of four astronauts. These are Edgar Mitchell, Gordon Cooper, Donald Slayton and Brian Brian O'Leary.
The first one was the one that got to the moon - the sixth. Mitchell claimed that it was thanks to the aliens that there was no nuclear attack during the Cold War, and he also believed in the situation with the Roswell incident (where an alien ship allegedly crashed over a small town in 1947). According to the astronaut, the authorities of the United States did not report this, since they did not understand whether representatives of a foreign race were behaving hostilely, and until there was complete data, it was impossible to let the Soviet Union into such information.
Gordon Cooper was one of seven astronauts selected for the first manned space flight mission by the American aerospace agency NASA. The mission's code name is Mercury, it was developed from 1958 to 1963 in order to simply put a person into orbit. Gordon Cooper was in an automatic test plane. He stated that even before participating in this project, he saw a UFO that flew over Germany in 1951, and then observed aliens over an experimental American airbase. In 1984, Gordon Cooper presented a report to the United Nations, in which he reported that, in his opinion, many UFOs are constantly on our planet, they are more technologically advanced than earthlings.

Donald Slayton also participated in the Mercury project, mentioning the same UFO in 1951. According to the astronaut, it reminded him of a saucer moving at an angle of 45 degrees. True, Slayton did not have a camera, because he did not take photographs.
Brian O'Leary was included in the project to send humans to Mars in 1967, although the program was canceled a year later. Later, the astronaut taught physics at Princeton University. Before his death, he made several statements about UFOs. The former astronaut claimed there was evidence of their existence and that aliens were watching us. True, Brian O'Leary, like everyone else mentioned above, did not submit any papers, photographs, and so on.
At present, in fact, none of these astronauts are already dead, therefore it is not possible to obtain more complete information from them. Experts, however, noted that in some way these persons were too subjected to hysteria in space and UFOs, therefore they partly believed in such a thing too much. Accordingly, it can be assumed that the astronauts did notice something unusual, but there is no evidence that it was a UFO. The same secret terrestrial development of various devices made "in the image and likeness" of hypothetical alien ships, has not been canceled.
By the way, belief in aliens sometimes takes on very peculiar forms. Not so long ago it became known that a ranch in the state of Arizona was put up for sale, the owners of which claim that aliens have constantly been there. According to John and Joyce Raymonds, representatives of extraterrestrial civilization for twenty years regularly visited them, and even for the purpose of, so to speak, intimate contact. To fight them, the owners used a samurai sword and even killed some of them. True, the couple did not show the bodies of the supposedly dead aliens, stating that they simply disappear after death, therefore it will not work to show them.
The Raymonds family initially asked for $ 1 million for the ranch, but since they later became famous on television and on the Internet, they are now going to sell for all 5. The property, together with land, occupies 9 acres, and there are five bedrooms in the house. According to the ranchers, somewhere on their territory there may be a portal connecting them with almost another Universe, from which those same hypothetically aliens come from.
They state that twenty years ago, when the site was just acquired, in an unknown way, all the furniture was thrown directly into the pool. The Raymonds, who have a horse farm, take care of horses and practice equestrian therapy (help by being close to horses) for disabled children, claim that the aliens even tortured animals. However, what harm was done to them is not specified.
The ranchers did not provide photos of the interior of the house, which surprised the experts. In general, critics are very skeptical about this case. They note that since there is no evidence, only one strange story, then there is a possibility that the Raymonds simply would like to get more money for a ranch that is not very profitable for them. By the way, they tried to sell the site 11 years ago, but apparently no buyers were found for it.
Quite often, ranchers and homeowners have previously attracted potential buyers by the fact that they have ghosts there. Now, apparently, the turn has come to the aliens, who seem to have a more scientific faceting, but in this vein they also do not look convincing.
