A Bolivian Journalist, Mr Eduardo Ascarrunz, has claimed that Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on moon, confided in him that a UFO followed the astronauts on the Apollo XI mission.
Aldrin allegedly told the journalist that 'The significance of July 20 1969 is not that man's feet touched the lunar surface but that on that day we realised that humans share the universe with other intelligent beings'. NASA is said to have gone to considerable efforts to cover up this UFO event.
Aldrin is said to have made the comments regarding his UFO experience on one of a number of trips he made to Bolivia. His interest in Bolivia stemmed from the fact that while in space he saw a flash of light that he believed came from the salt-beds of the Salar De Uyuni lithium mines: The largest lithium deposits in the world.
Aldrin is also believed to have had meetings with Andean tribal wise men regarding traditions of ancient extraterrestrial encounters during his trips to Bolivia.
Good try.

How is this news?
There was a discovery channel show where Aldrin talked about the UFO they saw on their way to the moon, with actual recording of their radio call to NASA about it
Like he was actually ever anywhere near the moon ...
IIRC, he has spoken about his UFO interests before. There are other reports from astronauts that have circulated for years. His is one of the more interesting, but he never talked about it except a couple times to friends who related it second hand.

Derisive about?
None of the Apollo astronauts I’ve seen have had much positive to say about the following 40 years of space labs with no further manned missions into space. Certainly hasn’t been a stepping stone towards outward travel and colonization.
They put their lives on the line everytime they climbed onboard a rocket. Some died on the pad. Some got hit by lighting after launch. Some orbited the moon but did not make the anticipated landing.
And lied about what “such things”?
it was just immigration checking the status on the aliens arriving from Earth.
They don’t call him Buzz for nothing...
I am amazed that I went thru all these posts to find that you are the only one that recalls this well publicized report that Buzz most certainly did make to the MSM a number of years ago.
Like it or not, believe it or not, this seasoned pilot said he saw UFO’s
Why do you believe he was lying? Is it just because he didn't confirm what you personally believe?
Also, Check out (google) Nha Trang Lights 1966. I was there.
Armstrong leaned over and whispered to Collins, “Don’t tell Buzz it was just a piece of our heat shield flying by and let’s see what happens.”
Have spoken with BUZZ - his heart is true
The Wikipedia article (yes Wikipedia is a valid source as long as it has reasonable citations in the article) clears most of this up.
Did you know that his mother’s maiden name was “Moon”?
I’m convinced the moon landings were real.
I’m not convinced 100% of the photos purported to be taken there . . . were.
