THE first men to walk on the Moon reported seeing a UFO, a new TV documentary reveals.
Astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon's surface after Neil Armstrong, says space agency bosses covered up their sighting.
And the Apollo 11 astronauts were also careful not to talk about it openly.
He said: "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?
"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?'

"We weren't about to do that, because we knew that that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is."
The documentary, tonight on Five, also reveals that the astronauts had to repair the lunar module with a ballpoint pen after the historic landing in July 1969.
In the cramped conditions, someone's bulky spacesuit had snapped off a circuit breaker essential for starting up the engine.
To this day, Aldrin treasures the everyday object that saved their lives.
He said: "I used a pen, one of several that we had on board that didn't have metal on the end, and we used that to push the circuit breaker in."
The programme also draws on classified documents made public for the first time.
True, Sam.

I do believe there are Nephilim still around trying to confound/dismay us. "Just a few more weary days, and then..."

YUP AND AMEN!
You might be interested in posts #150 and beyond on this thread, too.
I haven't located my copy of the PING list since I had my HD wiped and XP-P reinstalled. Still getting things back to normal and rather bummed that MSN.COM won't work with Eudora. GRRRR.
Great to see your post and screen name, Bro.
Getting homesick more and more.
One of my friend's colleagues was being escorted in a hyper secret part of a base . . . and came across an egg shaped silent craft hovering over the tarmack being silently glided into a hanger with guards all around it.
Had a NASA insignia on it, interestingly.
"Battle in Outer Space", a Tojo Production, in Tohoscope c. 1961 tells the whole story.
Possible, but at this point in their lives, and the money they have already got?
Right now, none, including Buzz, have an incentive to lie, however, they do have incentives to back each other up, since they are friends.
Buzz could be telling the truth, or not, might point is, you will not get an unbiased statement out of anybody.
It could have been a key grip that to close to the sound stage.
I can't remember if it was Buzz who bitch-slapped some reporter who questioned him about the "moon landing hoax", but the video, and the "reporter's" reaction were damned funny.
Also, I've had firsthand observation of an intelligently guided unidentified flying object (enormously huge, dark, triangle, could have been military), so yeah, I'm another MUFON "kook" (even wrote the newsletters for a year or two! :)
Guess you saw that episode too eh?
Still find it hard to believe they cast James Cromwell as him in the movie.
I've really enjoyed this story and all the replies.
On one show a few weeks ago with Peter Jennings (filmed a few years ago, obviously), it did a piece on project Blue Book. As I remember, there were so many calls from Washington, D.C. on UFO sightings that the Air Force started Blue Book to quiet the public. The effort was essentially a lone professor who investigated sightings and the effort was to quiet the public. The public of course did NOT know that Blue Book was nothing much more than a shell.
When the Air Force shut down Blue Book, that professor was not convinced because SOME of the sightings were too good, too convincing. He wanted to continue.....
And that's my thoughts too, somethings going on. I don't know if it's military testing or visitors, but too many people have seen too much. Speaking of that, I enjoyed watching some of the google videos. I was not previously aware of all the videos posted on the internet.
My impression has been . . .
1. That things were not necessarily as CLOSE and loyal as we might suppose . . . at least not across the board.
2. Some folks take their promises seriously and don't change even when the administrator of said agreements turns out to have been horrid, immoral, unethical, whatever.
3. Some would still protect whatever money they could as long as they could out of their own anxieties, turf issues, whatever such.
4. There's persistent evidence from Roswell on that folks' FAMILIES have been threatened with totally being wiped out, terminated, every last man, woman and child. That's the threat the ranch owner the crash occurred on received while kept nude in the jail for several days until he agreed to the confidentiality agreement.
5. We shall see. I'm personally convinced that they routinely saw craft and definitely saw stuff on the moon. I'm fairly convinced we were 'ordered' away from the moon. It's been a puzzle to me, the President seeking to go back.
Maybe they have a holy-book, you know, the kind with recipes inside...
Crew-cuts were the norm in those days, and those sporting them were often generically/derisively called "buzz".
Thanx for that tid-bit. I didn't think it referred to the more "modern" usage for the word, but I couldn't resist.
I dunno... I find that perspective very hard to swallow.
By the way, the Science Channel had either "the" documentary, or a similar one on last night... At least, the discussion of the UFO with Buzz was the same one.
Much agree, Sam.
And John's software is a huge aid of that.
I remember that cereal too, also remember Quake.
Or say a PHOTOGRAPH or two. This UFO report is like all of the UFO reports. They are pieces of paper with peoples opinions of what they say written on them. They are worthless without some physical evidence.
