UFO experts fear Artemis II astronauts could bring back aliens from dark side of moon

 The Artemis mission to the dark side of the moon could awaken an army of aliens who may return with the astronauts imminently. NASA astronauts Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Canadian astronaut Jeremy Hansen, have made history to become the first people to travel around the far side of the moon in over 50 years.

The Artemis II crew are now on their way back home after travelling farther into space than any humans in history. But the final stage of the mission is dangerous - and now experts have warned they may not be alone.

During its journey back to Earth, the Orion spacecraft will undergo three trajectory correction burns to ensure the crew is set for a safe splashdown, according to NASA. The last of the burns will take place around five hours before the critical point at which Orion begins re-entering Earth's atmosphere.

As that happens, the capsule will reach speeds of up to 23,839 mph (38,365 kph). It is the hardest bit of the mission, as it will put Orion's heatshield to the test as it gets battered by intense atmospheric temperatures.

But that may not be the only thing to fear, according to some experts. Robert Pulme, a UFO and ghost hunter, who has been investigating for the past 20 years said: “There are very real signs that the world governments know more than they let the public know. It is almost a certainty.

"And I am sure this mission was done with information at the forefront that we know nothing of.

"They have certainly been looking for signs of life, it is at the heart of every mission.

"And aliens are not stupid - they will know this and if they want to make themselves seen, they will.

"It will be interesting to see what they come back with and if any information is shared with us. There could even be alien DNA making its way back with the rocket - we have no idea what form they can move in. But this could be a turning point for the world and for aliens.

"Now we have ventured further into space, you may find they venture further to earth. And we may soon have aliens confirmed, by themselves."

Many in the field believe aliens are already living among us, but say there are different breeds and types - with some living in water, others airborne and some living among us humans on Earth.

Pulme continued: “Many in the UFO community share tips and sightings and it is clear from the evidence we collate, that aliens are very much a part of everyday existence as we know it.

”It has been believed for a very long time that aliens are already here, and now we believe they are so clever that they have learnt how to hide in plain sight, and how to integrate themselves into our everyday lives.

“We want to learn about them, but they also want to learn about us, and this is how they’ve gone about it. Coming to Earth, becoming ‘human-like’ and going about their business, working in jobs such as the post office and shops. I imagine everyone knows an alien without realising they are one.”

And Mr Pulme is not the only expert who has spoken out to say aliens are already walking among us.

Astronomer Jacques Vallée, who co-developed the first computerised map of Mars for NASA in 1963, previously said he believes aliens may exist on Earth as well as in other "realities" or "dimensions" parallel to our own.

Alien enthusiast and author Anna Whitty, who wrote the book UFO’s: A Fundamental Truth said she believes aliens are actually just humans – but just a very advanced form.

She previously said: “I do think they've always been here. It is more likely that aliens come from somewhere under the sea or caves or something like that, rather than another planet.

“It makes sense, because there's a lot of evidence on the planet that there has been a massive cataclysm every few thousand years.”

"I've actually been thinking about entry since April ‌3, 2023 when we got assigned to this mission," said mission pilot Victor Glover when asked how he was feeling about the return.

"There are so many more pictures and stories, and I haven't even begun to process what we've been through. We've still got two more days, and riding a fireball through the atmosphere is profound as well."

The big splashdown moment is currently scheduled for Friday evening off San Diego's coast. It'll be the early hours of Saturday UK time – not long after 1am

During their six–hour lunar flyby, the Artemis II crew reached a distance of more than 252,756 miles (406,771km) from Earth, surpassing the distance achieved by the Apollo missions and setting a new record.

In doing so, they became the first humans in half a decade to witness the far side of the moon with the naked eye.

From their position 41,072 miles (66,098km) above the lunar surface, the moon appeared about as large as a basketball held at arm's length.
