Man On Moon: We Saw a UFO (Buzz Aldrin)
UK Daily Record ^ | 24 July 2006 | Mike Swain

Posted on 07/25/2006 11:13:09 AM PDT by wagglebee

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.

No I don't know.

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

Or so the ph.d's at NASA would have us believe.

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

I wish the mods had the will to kick out thread hijackers.

An independent source or two would be helpful.

You can't get an independent source, but you could get the other 2 fellows who were with him....I'm noticing they aren't saying anything.

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.

You probably meant 302, but if it was a 65 it would have been a 289.

Sorry, just felt like getting nit-picky. ;}

Now, class. Where does Aldrin say he saw a Flying Saucer or aliens? He doesn't. He claims he saw *something* that was close. Big whoop... like as not, it was a bit of insulation, foil, a part of the S-IVB stage, something like that. Astronauts have long remorted seeign things floating near their spacecraft. Generally turns out to be ice, insulation, etc. A straightforward observation (an "object," that was "flying" near their spacecraft that was "unidentified") being blown way out of proportion.

No, it was no UFO on the moon, but Buzz thought that he saw it, and that is completely different.

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

I'm still not sure if that would be good enough.

They are (and were) all friends.

The only other sources who could either verify (or deny) Buzz's claims are his fellow buddy astronauts.

Hey Houston, hook us up some more of these!

You had me with you until, at the end, you blurted out"...and health food for all"!

That just spoiled the moment.

More proof that the "moon landing" was a Masonic plot!

"We saw a UFO"

UFO = Unidentified Flying Object. Strong emphasis on the first word.

Translation: "We saw a light and didn't know what it was." I'd be amazed if the first people who ever set foot on an extraterrestrial body didn't see at least one of those.

It seems to me that call should have been made;in case of a disaster that results in the loss of the space ship.

Otherwise endless speculation would ensue. - tom
