Clark C. McClelland has an extraordinary story, claiming that during his time at NASA, he witnessed astronauts interacting with a 9-foot-tall alien. McClelland states he worked at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida as a spacecraft operator, participating in over 650 missions, including the Mercury, Apollo, and Space Shuttle programs.
According to his account, during one of the Space Shuttle missions, he saw a close encounter between NASA astronauts and an extraterrestrial. From his station at the Kennedy Launch Control Center, he observed the incident on his monitors: “While on duty, I saw an 8 to 9-foot-tall ET standing in the Shuttle’s Payload Bay, communicating with two NASA astronauts who were tethered to the spacecraft.” He claims the alien’s spacecraft hovered behind the Shuttle in a stable orbit.
McClelland says the encounter lasted over a minute, giving him enough time to comprehend what he was seeing. He insists his years of experience qualify him to recognize human-made spacecraft, secret or otherwise. According to him, he wasn’t alone in witnessing this event—a colleague later confirmed seeing the same extraterrestrial inside the Shuttle’s crew compartment.
Beyond this encounter, McClelland asserts, “Aliens are here on Earth, and they walk among us. They may have even infiltrated various world governments.” He believes NASA, controlled by the Department of Defense (DoD), has long concealed information about extraterrestrial contact. Some missions he worked on, he claims, were classified DoD operations involving top-secret satellites and extraterrestrial encounters.
McClelland also notes his close relationship with astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man to walk on the Moon, who was outspoken about his belief in alien life. Mitchell once said he was “90% confident” that many UFO sightings since the 1940s were of extraterrestrial origin. McClelland’s claims align with reports of UFOs allegedly seen docking with the International Space Station, with live broadcasts sometimes cutting off when strange objects appear.
While many are skeptical of McClelland’s story, some believe he may be telling the truth. Could NASA be hiding evidence of extraterrestrial contact? Or is McClelland’s account simply too far-fetched? Share your thoughts in the comments!
