Answer 2

Dr. Mitchell also believed a teenager had mystic healing powers. That shows he is prone to believe absurd stuff. He is not credible at all to me or any other logical person. Appeal to authority is in the realm of religion, not science. Astronauts are not scientists. One must evaluate the claim's logic, not the person who made it.

Answer 3

No. Science is not a religion. It is not based on the say-so of authorities. It is based on reliable, repeatable evidence. Without any evidence, it could be Albert Einstein himself who claims it, and it still wouldn't be believable.

Scientists are often kooky. Isaac Newton was an alchemist. Linus Pauling thinks that taking gram-weights of vitamin C will make you live forever. We don't believe them because they offer no evidence. It makes no difference how amazing a scientist, pilot, astronaut, whatever they are. Even the word of the greatest scientist in the world is worth zero if not accompanied by experimental results.

Answer 4

Until an alien actually visits me, I'll not believe in aliens, and I'd advise you to do the same.  You'll see, an alien will never visit, due directly to the fact that travel faster than light isn't possible, as yet.  I just don't feel that they can get here from where ever they are, unless they have found a method to travel faster than light.  

Roswell may very well be "real", but so is Lineville, and Atlanta and everywhere else on Earth.  However, the fact that Roswell houses an area 51 with all this "stuff" located there, found by humans, a very long time ago.  Well, I do question that!  

I personally don't feel that anyone who "says" they have been abducted, or seen aliens, could possibly be credible, for the same above reasons.  However, I also have an open mind---I am, after all, answering a question on Yahoo!

Answer 5

No, I don't believe it.  I think he's probably going senile.  Here's why.

There's no reason that an astronaut would know anything about whatever happened at Roswell.  They just fly the shuttles.  They aren't experts in the field or anyone they'd bother calling in for a consult.  I know the astronauts are the famous ones, but they aren't people who would be able to help at all at Roswell, so they wouldn't know any more than anyone else.

Answer 6

i wouldn't believe anyone, unless it was a large group of credible scientists

Answer 7

Roswell is a real city - it's true.

I don't say "I believe" - i say, "the evidence suggests".  Show me the evidence and the story that backs it up.  So far, the evidence suggests that we are not continually being visited by aliens.

In many ways, though, i'd like to be wrong.

OK, so if you believe something without evidence, you call it faith.  You can also call it delusion.  One is acceptable, and the other isn't.  But they are the same thing.

Answer 8

Unfortunately, Ed Mitchell has been making these claims for a long time.  Incredibly, he is doing this solely on the basis of what other people have said.

The Roswell incident was a crashed balloon train from the Mogul project.  The government released this information under the Freedom of Information Act.  It makes perfect sense.  Roswell was all but dead and forgotten until Stanton Friedman decided to base his career on reviving the legend.  With the things that have been revealed over the years, even some of the prominent early advocates and authors of the alien/UFO story have since abandoned it.

Roswell was just another media-hyped, urban legend type of story which refused to die.  Like other great UFO stories, it had its share of liars, who got all sorts of attention for their stories, and probably a couple of stir crazy desert folk who just didn't have all their marbles.  If the government released bogus documents related to this, then people have committed crimes.  Ed Mitchell needs to name names, places, dates, etc., or keep his mouth shut.

Mitchell, (and Gordon Cooper), are not the first famous and supposedly credible people who have completely fallen off the deep end over a belief in something that doesn't exist.  Alfred Russell Wallace and William Crookes believed in Spiritualism.  Arthur Conan Doyle was a staunch believer in fairies, which the result of a photo hoax committed by a couple of young girls.  All of these have since been proven acts of fraud.  There have been many other examples in the last century.  Mitchell and Cooper join a sad, long line of respected people who have done more than they can imagine in causing people to believe in false things.
