Could we have aliens to thank for preventing a nuclear war on Earth? That’s what one former Nasa astronaut has claimed. Edgar Mitchell, who was involved in the Apollo 14 mission, gained a reputation for sharing conspiracy theories when he arrived back from the moon in 1971. Mitchell was the sixth man on the moon and was the Lunar Module Pilot on Apollo 14. Before his death in 2016, Mitchell spoke at length claiming that aliens visited Earth. Speaking to the Mirror, he alleged that aliens were responsible for preventing nuclear war between the US and the Soviets at the height of Cold War tensions. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter At the time, Mitchell focused on the White Sands Missile Range facility in New Mexico. “White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons – and that's what the extraterrestrials were interested in,” he said. "They wanted to know about our military capabilities. 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." White Sands Missile Range is where the first atomic bomb was tested in 1945, and Mitchell claimed that officers there had told him aliens had shot down missiles flying over the site. The claims were, as you’d expect, disputed. UFO expert Nigel Watson told IFL Science at the time: "To me, this is just another case of UFO fantasy and speculation. When you try getting to the facts it is like trying to herd cats." Meanwhile, a UFO conspiracy theorist recently described the south pole as an “air traffic control” hub for aliens. A recent discussion centred on the Amundsen–Scott South Pole, which Eric Hecker claimed communicated with “exotic” crafts by sending neutrino rays up into space. Hecker went further by talking about “digital optical modules” buried a mile beneath the surface under the ice. He claims they were buried in order to detect neutrino interactions while being deep enough not to interfere with radiation readings. Have your say in our news democracy.

Aaron Ramsey is hoping to scale his next Euro 2024 qualifying challenge before climbing the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours. Wales skipper Ramsey will lead the Dragons into battle against Armenia and Turkey and then turn his attention to the National Three Peaks Challenge and ascending Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa on Wednesday. The walking distance is 23 miles and total ascent 10,052 feet with a driving distance of 462 miles. “I am fully focused on the Welsh games, but we get back and fly up to Scotland and start there first,” said Ramsey, who is embarking on the journey with 10 others to raise funds for the @its.neveryoucharity created in memory of six-year-old Hugh Menai-Davis who died from rhabdomyosarcoma in September 2021. “The plan will be to do that and work our way down to Snowdon (Yr Wyddfa). “It’s for a cause that’s really close to my heart as a good friend of mine lost his little one. “So, I’ll be putting on my walking boots and trying to get my way up those mountains. ”Let’s just focus on these two games first, and get to the top of the table before the Three Peaks.” I’ll be putting on my walking boots and trying to get my way up those mountains Aaron Ramsey on his Three Peaks Challenge Wales host Armenia in Cardiff on Friday before meeting Turkey in Samsun on Monday. Rob Page’s side are looking to build on a promising start to the campaign in March when they took four points from two games, a 1-1 draw away to World Cup semi-finalists Croatia and a 1-0 home victory over Latvia. Ramsey said: “We got off to a fantastic start after a difficult World Cup for many reasons. “It was important for us to hit the ground running, away to Croatia. It has set us up quite nicely now and we’ve got some momentum going. “But football can change very quickly and we’ve got to treat the Armenia game with respect. “They’ve been dangerous in certain periods of their games, they scored a very good goal against Turkey for example. “But it’s all on us. We are at home, fans behind us and we have a game plan.” Wales are at full-strength with Brennan Johnson and Ben Davies back after missing the March qualifiers and Neco Williams cleared to play after breaking his jaw in April. The Nottingham Forest full-back has taken a full part in training and manager Page confirmed that there was no need for him to wear a protective mask. Williams’ Forest team-mate Johnson has been the subject of a reported £30million offer from Brentford and Page insisted it will not be a distraction for the 22-year-old forward. Page said: “He is a great lad and he has got a great support network around him. “I know his dad (David) – I used to play against him – and I know the messages his dad will be giving him. “I was impressed with the way they conducted themselves in January when his head could have been turned. “He could have had the opportunity to go to one of the so-called bigger clubs, and he didn’t. I thought he made the right decision for his future. “He’s a level-headed lad, he’s sensible. His focus will be on this game on Friday.” Read More Charity boss speaks out over ‘traumatic’ encounter with royal aide Ukraine war’s heaviest fight rages in east - follow live Pat Cummins backs David Warner against England as Australia turn down the volume Home support can be Malta’s 12th man against England – ex-player David Carabott England batter Dan Lawrence to join Surrey from Essex on three-year deal
