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.
I smell major UFO BS.

C’mon Buzz - you did us all a favor when you thumped the idiot who claimed you never walked on the moon.
Don’t go over to the dark side of conspiracy/UFO nuts.
Buzz was treated for alcohol and drug abuse, no? What drugs? INquiring minds wish to know.
I think this whole UFO thing that seems to be picking up steam again, is pure unadulterated Irish BS....It usually surrounds a book.

Waitaminnit... if the moon landing was really faked and filmed in the Arizona desert, maybe it was close to Area 51 and he just saw the captured space aliens ship from the Roswell crash! Yeah, that’s it! Proof the moon landing was faked! Bwah hah hah hah!
Buzz didn’t mention it when I went to see him speak last year. He talked for over an hour.
Oh, it’s just a little “space dementia”, that’s all. LOL
More fun than a barrel of Trekkies and Whovians.
So that’s why they call him “Buzz.”
I did like the irony that the rotating FR ad banner I got on this thread was the Dark Side of the Moon looking one.
Do we have a real source quoting Aldrin on this and not just some paranormal site? If it is true he said this to this Bolivian journalist, knowing good old Buzz’s history with kooks, he may have been pulling his chain. (Buzz is the guy that clocked a moon landing conspiracy theorist).

Jeez, people, read the story...Aldrin himself hasn’t said a word.
A BOLIVIAN journalist says he said it. I know when I want to share Earth shattering news, I head to Bolivia.
Let’s examine this logically. Buzz wanted to tell someone, but he knew he shouldn’t.
Should he a: tell the “mainstream” media and get a reward commiserate with the risk...
or should he b: tell some unknown jackass in a third world country, thus risking everything for well...nothing.
I think it is safe to say Buzz Aldrin never said these words to this journalist, else he would have said it to someone a little more prominent, or kept his mouth shut entirely.
And you made it because Orion needs slave girls, not middle aged engineers.
Whoa! He married an alien?!
“C’mon Buzz - you did us all a favor when you thumped the idiot who claimed you never walked on the moon.”
I loved when he did that!
But maybe Area 51 didn’t want to miss a closeup and personal view from space of our guys on the moon!
Buzz isn’t demented, my bet is either the story is BS or he was yanking someone’s chain.
