wraithsays...Appeal To Authority: "It is one method of obtaining propositional knowledge, but a fallacy in regard to logic, because the validity of a claim does not follow from the credibility of the source."
Reuters and - by extension and your "Moon Astronaut Says We're Not Alone" headline - you imply that him being one of the Apollo Astronauts and having "walk(ed) on the moon" gives his statement any more credibility. This is called "Appeal To Authority" or "argumentum ad verecundiam".
This (the Appeal to Authority) would have worked if a) Mitchell was the resident hush-up operator for Alien contacts by the US-Government or b) he met an alien while he "walk(ed) on the moon".
The way it stands, it does not.
Irishmansays...Damn your Vulcan logic, damn it to hell.
