Man On Moon: We Saw a UFO (Buzz Aldrin)

THE first men to walk on the Moon reported seeing a UFO, a new TV documentary reveals.

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon's surface after Neil Armstrong, says space agency bosses covered up their sighting.

And the Apollo 11 astronauts were also careful not to talk about it openly.

He said: "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?

"Now, obviously the three of us weren't going to blurt out, 'Hey, Houston, we've got something moving alongside of us and we don't know what it is, you know?

"Can you tell us what it is?'

"We weren't about to do that, because we knew that that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is."

The documentary, tonight on Five, also reveals that the astronauts had to repair the lunar module with a ballpoint pen after the historic landing in July 1969.

In the cramped conditions, someone's bulky spacesuit had snapped off a circuit breaker essential for starting up the engine.

To this day, Aldrin treasures the everyday object that saved their lives.

He said: "I used a pen, one of several that we had on board that didn't have metal on the end, and we used that to push the circuit breaker in."

The programme also draws on classified documents made public for the first time.

I would think if this was true, it would be on film.

Ping.

It was the 60s....everyone was seeing UFOs.

[Mr. Lucky]

An independent source or two would be helpful.

Stars don't show up on images taken in space.

I've always been pretty sure that we were told not to come back.

The Russians, also.

They are just waiting for us to get warp drive and then they we will come down and we will become a perfect utopia with health care and health food for all.

[saganite]

It was the Vulcans. They'll be back when we fire up our first warp drive.

[wagglebee]

Yeah, if Neil Armstrong were to verify this, it would have a lot more credibility.

[edcoil]

Drugs did that back then. We don't see them now due to proper refining...

I used a Bic pen to fix the shift linkage on a 65 Mustang out in the middle of the desert. Trying to go 70 miles in first gear with a 202 would have taken me about 10 hours.
Always wanted to do that commercial "Dear Bic, you're not going to believe this but..."

[saganite]

Beat me by 4 seconds.

[stevio]

Yea, but back then America had the will to kick out the aliens.

Let's see if Buzz publicly backs this up. The CSM/LM combination was radar-tracked constantly on the way out and in lunar orbit, except when they were behind the Moon. Said UFO oughta be on the tape, but I'll bet it ain't. No doubt more evidence of conspiracy for the Bart Sibrel-tards of the world.

Holy urine dump, Batman, wouldn't anything ejected tend to travel in formation?

I don't know about you, but I'm going out to buy some "Weekly World News" stock. This is going to keep them in business for another 25 years.
