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.
Ping for viewing after work...
He has been saying this for decades.
This was one small step for a man, but a large leap for Shirley McLain.
Last year I saw Aldrin on a show about the moon landing. He seemed quite the joker.
UFO “B” LEVEL PING.
Buzz has been quoted off and on. This is a fascinating article given some other details.
There’s a snide insinuation up thread about alcohol or drugs . . . I don’t know about the validity of that.
However, I could understand a person of his experience, training and education being told to keep such an event quiet . . . feeling extremely frustrated and disgusted . . . if not angry and anguished. Often such feelings lead to alcohol abuse.
There are sufficient Apollo astronauts on record now, it’s no longer an issue as to whether such occurred. Only ignorant, clueless, willfully blind folks disbelieve them.
Or perhaps those too terrified and paranoid to face the truth.

I heard such an astronaut speak for more than an hour, too.
He was derisive in his talk and in the Q&A session flat lied about such things. I knew he was lying easily. It was straight scripted BS. And he wasn’t all that sincere about it but gave it a good college try at sounding hostile and derisive about the whole idea.
I was disgusted. Here he is the hero to the kids and lying to their faces.
Ridiculing those who take UFO reports seriously is, well, foolish. Check out The Edwards Incident. I believe the date was October 7, 1965. F-106. Phoenix. “Something happenin’ here....”
And if he did take a picture (a camera was available), do you think that particular frame would ever see the light of day?
I think not.
WRONG.
Much safer to tell a 3rd world journalist who’d not likely be believed.
Word gets out . . . he’s still relatively safe with the powers that be.
Alien 1: “Oh, look ... they’ve finally figured out how to travel off of their planet.”
Alien 2: “Puh-leeeze. They only made it as far as their moon. Stoopid Hoomans.”
Good try.
