Buzz Aldrin Describes His 'UFO' Encounter During Apollo 11
By Jennifer Welsh

Astronaut Buzz Aldrin walks on the surface of the moon, July 20, 1969.

"Engineer, American astronaut, and the second person to walk on the moon during the Apollo 11 moon landing" Buzz Aldrin participated July 8 in a Reddit AMA for the promotion of the 45th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, happening on July 20.

He touched on a sensitive topic: his apparent admission that he and other astronauts had seen a UFO during the Apollo 11 mission.

This is an old favorite of internet UFO conspiracy theorists (and, sadly, the Science Channel), who are convinced that Buzz Aldrin saw an alien ship of some kind during the Apollo 11 ride and that he's been covering it up and hiding that he's a UFO believer.

According to an article on OpenMinds (a UFO truther website):

In an interview on the Science Channel in 2005, Apollo astronaut "Buzz" Aldrin said that the crew of the famous Apollo 11 mission had seen a UFO on their way to the moon. However, later Aldrin would say that his words were taken out of context, even though his story was supported on the program by senior Apollo 11 scientist, Dr. David Baker. Aldrin has also made other strange statements that some believe allude to Aldrin knowing more about an extraterrestrial presence in space than he would like to share.

The Science Channel show, "First on the Moon: The Untold Story" spurred a lot of talk about Buzz Aldrin's UFO-friendly leanings. Aldrin clarified what he saw during the July 8 AMA:

On Apollo 11 in route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. There were many explanations of what that could be, other than another spacecraft from another country or another world - it was either the rocket we had separated from, or the 4 panels that moved away when we extracted the lander from the rocket and we were nose to nose with the two spacecraft. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. And i feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels. Which one? I don't know. So technically, the definition could be "unidentified."

But then again, ..."splain this". In a book by James Oberg from 1982, reports of UFOs and Apollo 11 are detailed and are nothing like Aldrin's sanitized reporting of sighting of what would amount to space junk in recent stories. There is much more here than is being reported by Aldrin's recent remarks. While some reports might be simple sensationalization, how can we impute such ill will to a notable journalist like Walter Cronkite?

Not that Oberg is not a debunker, but there are leads here even if Oberg is blind to them.

Jim Oberg has been NASAs disinfo guy for many years and he gets paid well to do so. Everything to him is space junk or space dust everything!!!
