"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?'
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.
I suspect a Weather Balloon.

Not my reality. Not that of several astonauts on record . . . they were NOT idiots. They could tell the difference between all those things and "SANTA CLAUS"--one of the code words for a UFO craft.
It's sad when I read something implying the extremely well trained astronauts were idiots in observation and/or idiots in relating their observations.
