D#8 HW#5 evaluate validity

1. Can you easily identify the claim, reasons, and evidence provided in the resource?
           Yes, the video explaines everything. The claim is that Edgar Mitchel, an astronaut who has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize has had encounters with extraterrestrial aircrafts. His reasons and evidence are his first hand experiences and accounts.

2. Do the evidence and reasons logically support the claim? Why or why not?
           Yes they do, they are his first hand experience with extraterrestrials.

3. Do you have a similar resource that either argues the same perspective or conducts a similar study.
           Yes, there are many other credible officials who are willing to disclose their stories, risking ridicule and their jobs.

4. If so, did the two resources use similar methods for gathering and presenting data for  their argument? How are they similar and different?
           Yes, they "used simila methods" in that they are all just people's expriences. They are similar in that they are making the same points, but different in that some people have seen aircraft, some have seen actual aliens, and some have just seen gov't documents containing information on legitimate alien contact.
