We well understood exactly what that was. So technically, the definition could be 'unidentified.' And i feel absolutely convinced that we were looking at the sun reflected off of one of these panels. So in the close vicinity, moving away, were 4 panels. 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. On Apollo 11 in route to the Moon, I observed a light out the window that appeared to be moving alongside us. Aldrin clarified what he saw during the July 8 AMA: The Science Channel show, 'First on the Moon: The Untold Story' spurred a lot of talk about Buzz Aldrin's UFO-friendly leanings.

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