UFO sightings are reported by everyone from all walks of life, from anywhere in the world, even outside of it! One of the first men on the moon, Buzz Aldrin, who along with Neil Armstrong were the crew of Apollo 11, confided that they saw a UFO during their historic mission.

In an interview with The Science Channel, transcribed by UFO Sightings Daily:

"Buzz Aldrin: There was something out there that, uh, was close enough to be observed and what could it be? 

Narrator: Traveling along side of Apollo 11 was a mysterious object like this one (a ringed object at close range is shown), filmed on a later mission. If it wasn't part of their own rocket, it could only be one thing, a UFO. 

Aldrin: Mike (Collins) decided he thought he could see it in the telescope and he was able to do that and when it was in one position, that had a series of ellipses, but when you made it real sharp it was sort of L shaped. That didn't tell us very much. 

Dr. David Baker (Apollo 11 Senior Scientist): NASA knew very little about, um, the object reported by the Apollo 11 crew. It was obviously an unidentified flying object, but such objects were not uncommon and the history of even earth orbit space flights going back over the previous years indicated that several crews saw objects. 

Narrator: Despite having a clear view of the UFO, the crew were wary of reporting it to Mission Control. 

Aldrin: Now, obviously, the three of us were not going to blurt out, 'Hey Houston we got something moving along side 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, cause we know that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and who knows what somebody would have demanded that we turn back because of Aliens or whatever the reason is, so we didn't do that but we did decide we'd just cautiously ask Houston where, how far away was the S-IVB? 

Narrator: Unaware of the drama unfolding in space, Mission Control radioed the position back to Apollo 11. 

Mission Control: 'Apollo 11, Houston. The S-IVB is about 6,000 nautical miles from you now, over.' 

Aldrin: And a few moments later, why they came back and said something like it was 6,000 miles away because of the maneuver, so we really didn't think we were looking at something that far away, so we decided that after a while of watching it, it was time to go to sleep and not to talk about it anymore until we came back and (went through) debriefing. 

Narrator: To this day, whatever it was that the crew saw has never been positively identified or officially acknowledged."

There were attempts to interview Aldrin so he could expound on this incident. James Fox, a documentary filmmaker pulled all his strings for an Aldrin interview but the astronaut backed out at the last minute. From Open Minds.tv:

"Aldrin told Fox that Paul Allen(Microsoft co-founder) had just invested in the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI), and he was labeled a UFO nut. Aldrin explained that he could not jeopardize his initiative of getting funding for a rocket to send citizens into outer space."

Aldrin knew something but for some reason he could not directly share it. It is hoped that in the course of his life he would share the necessary truth.
