Edgar Mitchell on Aliens

Edgar Mitchell on Aliens
The recent string of threads on ET had me thinking about an interview I saw a while back with a guy called Edgar Mitchell (6th man on the moon), here it is:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhNdxdveK7c

I know that users on this site are good at identifying bullshit, or destroying people's credibility, so what's the low down on this guy? I thought I'd ask here because I guess at least someone can give me more information on this particular interview and/or this guy's background. I hope it will shed some more light on whether or not to take what he's saying seriously. I'm very skeptical at this point in time, years back when I saw this I thought it was mind blowing.

Dammit, I hate it when you people post vids when I'm at work and can't watch them.

It's basically an ex-astronaut and scientist saying aliens exist (for a fact) and that the government is covering them up. I presumed someone could tell me why this guy is chatting shit, and give me more information, because otherwise this is pretty incredible.

oh! Hold on, he might be the guy some skeptics were talking about...
Here we go - when it comes to appealing to authority, I tend to side with Phil Plait on space.

You can look around just about anywhere but Mitchell's own sites to see that most people think he's just a little nuts.

On Kerrang? I guess no one else wanted him on then...

It is true summer, I am yet to see any evidence of what he claims. But a small part of me finds it so crazy that a respected astronaut would come out with shit like this. He's either doing it for a laugh, or he seriously believes what he's saying. My hunch is with the latter, but again, that doesn't make any of it true. I just really want to know what is going through this guy's head...

Just because you're intelligent, like Phil said, doesn't mean you can't suffer from massive brain farts.

You will often find people in positions like this and they aren't at all how you would think. They often seem to have ideologies that one might think would not be compatible with what they do...

All that is true, but it's still interesting...

I don't find it interesting... Many of my friends are hugely convinced by stuff like this.
It really pisses me off now. I used to find it amusing after a few hours of solid debating... But, now that I have probably clocked in around 50 hours of conversations about it with them, it annoys me.
