Thanks for posting.
It always feels like Buzz wants to say more but has to stop himself, probably because further information
would be getting into the 'classified' area? So he has to just give the bare minimum and keep it simple?
He certainly does do the rounds with his basic story.
The thing people need to remember about Buzz and the rest is that they were good soldiers. I fully agree that they're heroes and that they definitely had the right stuff to do what they did, but all of the guys who landed on the moon were military men, except one. They were often fighter pilots, combat veterans, which means when they get an order they are going to salute and say "yes sir". When they are told something is classified and that they're not to blab about it, they will clam up.
That's why I think we have gotten some very general statements from them about UFOs, including their own sightings, but not a lot of detail. And it's not a question about which astronauts had UFO sightings and ET encounters out there because I think they all did--every one of them.
U.S government policy has always been to slap some kind of "explanation" on these, bury and deny the ones they can't and hope the sheeple will just go back to watching
Days of our Lives and
The Price is Right. Even a very dumb explanation will do if no other is available, on the assumption that most people aren't paying close attention anyway.
Gordon Cooper was the one exception who spoke in great detail about his UFO sighings, be he was always a maverick.
