Many more quotes and details than I've ever come across before quoting astronauts on the moon about UFO's there:

Apollo 11 Armrstrong These babies were huge, sir!
Neil Armstrong and Edwin Buzz Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after landing Apollo 11 on the moon. The following conversation was picked up by ham radio operators that had their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASAs broadcasting outlets. At the time this happened, live television broadcast was interrupted for two minutes due to a supposed overheated camera, but the transmission below was received by hundreds of ham radio operators.
According to Otto Binder, who was a member of the NASA space team, when the moon-walkers, Aldrin and Armstrong were making their rounds some distance from the LEM, Armstrong clutched Aldrinss arm excitedly and exclaimed:
Armstrong: What was it? What the hell was it? Thats all I want to know!
Mission Control: Whats there? Malfunction (garble).Mission Control calling Apollo 11
Apollo 11: These babies were huge, sir!.... Enormous!... Oh God! You wouldnt believe it!....Im telling you there are other space-craft out there
lined up on the far side of the crater edge!...Theyre on the Moon watching us!
In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. The encounter was common knowledge in NASA, he revealed, but nobody has talked about until now.
Maurice Chatelain also confirmed that Apollo 11s radio transmissions were interrupted on several occasions in order to hide the news from the public.
Soviet scientist were allegedly the first to confirm the incident.
According to an Associated Press story of July 20, 1969 published in the San Bernanardino Sun-Telegram, the astronauts sighted eerie lights inside a crater near the point on the Moon where their lunar lander was due to touch down the next day.
On their first sweep around the Moon, Armstrong described a mysterious bright light on the inner wall of the crater Aristarchus, located north of their flight path. It seems to have a slight amount of florescence to it. The area in the crater is quite bright. He reported. That area is definitely brighter than anything else. I can see. There doesnt appear to be any color involved in it. It looks like an eerie sight, confirmed Aldrin.
Two astronauts who broke rank are Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper on The Oprah Winfrey Show on July 19, 1991. Mitchell hinted that all information regarding UFOs has not been released, saying, I do believe that there is a lot more known about extraterrestrial investigation than is available to the public right now (and) has been for a long time. Its a long, long story. It goes back to World War II when all of that happened, and is highly classified stuff.
On Dateline NBC in 1996, Mitchell was even more candid, I have no firsthand experience, but I have had the opportunity to meet with people from three countries who in the course of their official duties claim to have had personal firsthand encounter experiences with extraterrestrials.
I will be posting additional quotes hundreds of ham radio operators intercepted over many of the Apollo missions. These were first published in the now out of print book Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon by Don Wilson (Dell 1975.)

NASA Astronauts and UFO Sightings
Cooper's sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting.
Major Cooper was a firm believer in UFOs. Ten years earlier, in 1951 he had sighted a UFO while piloting an F-86 Sabrejet over Western Germany. They were metallic, saucer-shaped discs at considerable altitude and could out-maneuver all American fighter planes.
Major Cooper also testified before the United Nations:
"I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets... Most astronauts were reluctant to discuss UFOs."

That Apollo 11 “incident” never happened, it’s a well-known fraud.
