When we think about aliens, it's hard not to think that they are out to destroy
us. In our heads, aliens are super advanced life forms hell-bent on Earth
domination, or at least that's what just about every major sci-fi movie has told
us over the past century.

However, one former NASA astronaut claims that aliens are, in fact, the ones who
prevented us from descending into nuclear war in the first place.

The astronaut in question is Edgar Mitchell, who went to the Moon in 1971 as
part of the Apollo 14 mission. Since his return, he's been notorious for
disseminating a wide range of conspiracy theories.

Mitchell was the sixth person in history to step foot on the Moon. He has spoken
about the fact that aliens have visited Earth numerous times, and during an
interview in 2016, he admitted his belief in the existence of aliens.

During the interview, which was with the Daily Mirror, he also put out the
rambunctious claim that without aliens, the United States would have been in a
nuclear war with the Soviet Union at the pinnacle of the Cold War.




He also discussed the New Mexico White Sands missile testing facility, noting
that extraterrestrials were very interested in the fact that they were testing
atomic weapons there. In essence, these aliens wanted to know about our
capabilities regarding weaponry.



“In conversations that I had with people from the intelligence and military
community, I found out that these aliens were trying to keep us from nuclear war
in order to protect the Earth,” said Mitchell.

In 1945, the very first atomic bomb was detonated at the White Sands Missile
Range. Mitchell noted that officers from the site told him that aliens were
disabling in-flight missiles in the area.

With claims like this, especially from a well-respected man like Mitchell, it
was hard for the UFO community not to take notice. UFO expert Nigel Watson told
the IFL Science publication that this was “another case of speculations and
fantasies regarding UFOs.”



Another prominent figure who addressed Mitchell's claims was Nick Pope, the
former higher-up in the British Defense Ministry who made many investigations
into UFOs.

“While I have plenty of respect for Edgar and have been honored to meet him,
most of the information he dispels comes from second-hand experiences. Sure, he
may have had access to military and government documents, though he never
reveals any of his sources so it's hard to be certain about his claims.”

Mitchell is not alone in his theories, as many others have put out their own
allegations that aliens purposefully neutralize nuclear weapons. 

Former US Air Force lieutenant, Bob Jacobs, had an interview with Larry King in
2008. During the interview, he noted that he was working on the nuclear missile
tests during the 1960s when he saw a huge object appear out of the sky. After,
he was instructed by some of the higher-ups never to speak to anyone about the
incident again.

We still have a lot more questions than answers about Vladimir Putin’s political
future and Russia’s war in Ukraine after Wagner Group head Yevgevny Prigozhin’s
24-hour attempted mutiny and subsequent exile to Belarus.





On the first episode of GZERO World’s newest season, Ian Bremmer spoke with
former Carnegie Moscow Center director and Kremlin ally Dmitri Trenin about the
Russian view of the war and Putin’s endgame in Ukraine, just hours before
Prigozhin announced his armed rebellion.



According to Trenin, Putin has strong public support to continue fighting in
Ukraine because the Russian people see the war as an existential battle with
NATO and the collective West for the future of Russia itself.



“Russia is being ganged up against because of its determination to protect and
defend its own national interest,” Trenin says, “That's how it's seen.”

Before the war, Trenin was known as someone who could speak evenhandedly, even
critically about Russia and translate its motivations for a western audience.
But after the invasion––and after months of saying it wouldn’t happen––he
rebranded himself as a hardliner and deeply support’s the Kremlin’s view of the
war in Ukraine.

GZERO World strives to present a diverse range of views. Many will strongly
disagree with Trenin's opinions, but hearing Russia’s perspective on the war
could bring a better understanding of the paths to compromise.
