The account
Coming from the sixth man to walk on the Moon, the remarks made headlines worldwide. Mitchell later said his information came from unnamed, since-deceased sources from the Roswell area, not from NASA.
The sceptical view
NASA said it was not involved in any cover-up and did not share his opinions; in 2014 Mitchell said he had never seen a UFO and that a worldwide cover-up was 'just speculation on my part'.
