UFO Sightings During Apollo 11 Mission
Confirmation of UFO by Buzz Aldrin
- On September 9, 2011, astronaut Buzz Aldrin confirmed during an interview on France's Channel 3 that he and his crew observed an unidentified flying object (UFO) while approaching the Moon in July 1969.
- Aldrin, the second man to walk on the Moon, had previously discussed this sighting since 2005 on Science Channel.
Description of the Unidentified Object
- A mysterious object appeared through the spacecraft window, flying very close to Apollo 11. The astronauts refrained from discussing it openly due to fears of being ordered back to Earth.
- Aldrin emphasized the importance of paying attention to his statements regarding the UFO made during the French television interview.
Clarification on Object Identity
- Aldrin clarified that they were certain the object was not part of their rocket or any known equipment. They communicated with Houston for clarification about their distance from Earth.
- After a delay, mission control informed them that they were approximately 6,000 miles away from Earth (about 9,000 km).
Implications of Reporting UFO Sighting
- Aldrin expressed concern over publicly stating they saw an unidentified object because it could lead to media frenzy and public speculation.
- He mentioned that Michael Collins observed the object through a telescope and described its movements and shape during their lunar mission.
