Rumors have persisted for years that the astronauts -- nearly all of whom are military officers susceptible to being silenced under orders -- may have seen something more on the Moon than rocks and dust. According to transcripts of the technical debriefing following the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts Armstrong, Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin and Michael Collins told of an encounter with a large cylindrical UFO even before reaching the Moon," U.S. investigative journalist and researcher Jim Marrs documents Mr. Aldrin further officially presented his encounters with apparent Extraterrestrials on CNN's Larry King Show. Jim Marrs further presents that Mr. Aldrin said, "The first unusual thing that we saw I guess was one day out or pretty close to the Moon. It had a sizable dimension to it". Aldrin said the Apollo crew at first thought the object was the Saturn 4 booster rocket (S-IVB); but, he added, "We called the ground and were told the S-IVB was 6,000 miles away." Mr. Aldrin described the UFO as a cylinder, while Armstrong said it was "really two rings" Two connected rings". Collins also said it appeared to be a hollow, tumbling cylinder. He added, "It was a hollow cylinder. But then you could change the focus on the sextant and it would be replaced by this open-book shape. It was really weird." Even more strange was the experience of Mr. Aldrin and Mr. Armstrong, after they reached the Moon.

According to an Associated Press story of July 20, 1969 published in the San Bernardino Sun-Telegram, the astronauts sighted eerie lights inside a crater near the point on the Moon where their lunar lander was due to touch down the next day. On their first sweep around the Moon, Armstrong described a mysterious bright light on the inner wall of the crater Aristarchus, located north of their flight path. "It seems to have a slight amount of florescence to it. The area in the crater is quite bright," he reported. "That area is definitely brighter than anything else I can see. There doesn't appear to be any color involved in it. It looks like an eerie sight," confirmed Aldrin. Two astronauts who appear to have broken ranks are Dr. Edgar Mitchell and Gordon Cooper. On The Oprah Winfrey Show on 19 July 1991, Mitchell hinted that all information regarding UFOs has not been released, saying, "I do believe that there is a lot more known about extraterrestrial investigation than is available to the public right now [and] has been for a long time... It's a long, long story. It goes back to World War II when all of that happened, and is highly classified stuff."

Should be interesting to see how future visits by the USA and others go, not to mention plans to establish bases.

PR guru Mike Jupiter was unavailable for comment.

I highly doubt that civilians will be spending anytime on the moon or any other celestial object before the militaries have scoped out the area. If there is anything alien then I am quite sure that they will take and hide it if they haven't already. I strongly believe that military has visited the moon in secret to clear away anything that might be visible to us by a telescope. They most likely saw these things before they landed on the moon or even left Earth for that matter.

Thanks for the links Crystal Sage, you really know how to find those links!
The ufoevidence one is compelling. I have heard the conversation between Buzz, Armstring and Mission Control took place, in a book I have read. The site really gives the details though on those conversations, very interesting. The moon is definitely a strange place, a permanent dark side and that face, there is a thread going now with moon anomolies which I might have another look at.

I wish the governments would stop all this covering up like we are all babies incapable of accepting the fact UFO's are out there. What gives them the right to with hold any information to the world, treat us like dummies and spoon feed us their lies? I believe wholeheartedly in UFO's and aliens, Ive read up much and hundreds of thousands of people have had encounters, either seeing UFO's close up or being abducted. So all these people are hallucinating or saw something else???? Animal mutations could not be done by anyone else by aliens and their instruments, Ive read heaps on them and how anyone can think these are done by anyone else but someone not of this world is beyond me. They dont just mutilate them, they are cut with lasers, drained of blood with no blood ever in the vicinity, internal organs gone, jawbones neatly lasered out and traces of unknown metals on the cows, not to mention often being lifted in the air and dropped back down somewhere else, thats just a few things. This madness has to stop with the cover ups. What do they think the world public is gonna do? Not like we are gonna go chase them down or all go screaming hysterically around the place, Im sure most people would just go "right, knew it all along" and carry on with their life, possibly preparing themselves in case. What are we gonna do anyway, not like the average Joe has the technology to defend themself anyway. I for one am sick of being treated like a mushroom. Kept in the dark and fed bull****!

Geez, I wish they'd just stop with all the bullcrap all ready. JUST TELL US WHAT IS GOING ON!!

yeah, it will be interesting! only, we're not gonna hear anything about it..

The skeptics should be here soon saying "their old and trying to sell a book for their familys" . I do not understand how people can be so 100% sure we are alone in this universe. It seems the opposite to me.

I know, I completely agree.
The evidence is overwhelming in my opinion.

Yeah, like why do writers take what astronauts say totally out of context? The "UFO" they refered to was actually SLA panels. Twisting words around don't make things real.

I believe theres other life in other galaxies. but not in this one.
