First Men on Moon Saw UFOs


In the documentary "Apollo 11: The Untold Story," shown on Britain's Channel Five on Monday night, July 24, astronaut Buzz Aldrin says he, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins all saw a UFO shadowing their spacecraft. Apollo 11, which took off on July 16, 1969, was the first manned mission to the moon. Aldrin says, "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?"

In the documentary, he says, "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? 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." He says NASA knew about the UFO but covered up the information.

1. Two professional pilots have shared their UFO stories with me

One was a pilot-instructor on the C5A Galaxy and the other flew for Continental.

The Continental pilot went with me to see a viewing of "Loose Change" on Saturday. He came away convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. (He had only one quibble: It was a B-25, not a B-52 that struck the Empire State Building. Probably just a touch of dyslexia on that mistake.)

2. Let's pray that there are UFO's!

Beings from Alpha Centauri or wherever, coming to bring us regime change.

:silly:

3. UFOs? Yes. But are they extraterrestial vehicles? Unlikely.

People see strange things, eventually explanations are found. There may be a small residue of unexplained sightings that represent something genuinely unknown, but even if that's true, that's still a ways from concluding the phenomena is due to extraterrestrial intelligences.

It's become clear over the years that many UFOs are really military aircraft. According to the Air Force, the developers of the U2 spy aircraft thought it would be impossible to see from the ground, because it flies so high above the ground. But UFO reports made them realize it was being seen. It turns out if it flew an hour or two after sunset, at the altitude of the aircraft the sun was still visible. So it would catch sunlight. Witnesses reported seeing an orange light in the night sky. They had to paint the U2s to prevent them from catching the sunlight in this manner.

In more recent years, there have been numerous credible UFO reports involving large triangular craft, said to fly at low altitude and very quietly. Aviation Week and Space Technology magazine reported some years ago that the US military has a very stealthy lighter-than-air craft in the form of a rigid flying wing. This suggests an explanation for these UFO reports (which began in the 1980s).

Other UFO reports may have been generated by unmanned military vehicles capable of rapid maneuvers and high speeds. Persistent reports are that the US has operated hypersonic vehicles (either for reconnaisance or for weapons delivery) for perhaps two decades. These are said to be responsible for mystery sonic booms off the US coast, and for strange contrail formations described as "donuts on a rope".

Of course, all of the above may be just government disinfo. And there are people who believe they have seen much stranger things. I am not at all prepared to say that they are mistaken, but I have no information one way or the other.

6. First you say Unlikely, then you say you have no info 1 way or the other?

OK...

7. Hey, I'm just covering all my bases! nt

4. I believe, only because I saw one myself in 1988

It was completely unexplained, and the most beautiful single object I've ever seen. Lots of people reported seeing it (including 4 friends who were with me at the time), so it wasn't my mind playing tricks on me.

5. What did you see? nt

10. It was pretty much indescribable using earthly examples

But I'll try anyway..

It was very large (about 4 moon widths) and traveled slowly across the sky from north to south. It wasn't falling to earth, it was moving across the sky in a perfectly strait line. I couldn't make out the shape but I could infer the shape by the lighting. It had 5 white "portals", evenly spaced along its length. There was an orange "atom" looking thing on the front with a bright nucleus and little balls orbiting it like electrons. All the lights stayed constantly placed relative to the UFO's movement. But the best part was the "exhaust". Imagine the most brilliant, shimmering firework you've ever seen and multiply it by about 1000. There was no smoke, just these long multicolored ribbons of brilliant shimmery stuff that shot out of the back faster than the UFO was moving, they kind of spread out and diminished over time. I've seen what burning meteors and space junk look like, and this was completely different. That's the part that's hard to explain.. I can't describe how beautiful it was because it didn't look like something that could exist within the laws of physics.

14. Did it say "Goodyear" on the side?

8. Where did you see it?

11. Kansas City

9. Did Apollo Crew let NASA via a code word or was it later?

[FiveGoodMen]

12. I recall news reports of a Russian craft in the vicinity of Apollo 11

Was that a cover story for an actual UFO or is the UFO story just mis-reporting on the Soviet vessel?

13. of course there are UFOs buzzing around

they're filming events on our planet for their version of The Comedy Channel.

15. Bullshit, bullshit, bullshit

Consider the source ... "Dreamland" by Whitley Strieber, the fiction writer who has become rich taking money from people with small brains.

This story shows up every year around the anniversary of the Apollo 11. It has been debunked since at least 1982 (that's a long time, folks).
