Re: UFO's in space, apollo 11

Actually, I heard this straight from the horses mouth so to speak. Buzz Aldrin will tell you about seeing a UFO on the return trip from the Apollo at length.

Basically, they were coming back, saw something outside the window, thought it was weird - radioed back to Houston to see if it was the fourth stage of the Saturn V. Turned out not to be. They couldn't ID it, so they forgot about it and went to sleep.

I don't know about the bit about gag order - that wasn't included in the story. But I know that Buzz didn't ever say much about it because he didn't want to look "some damn idiot."

Of course, he seems to start talking about it right before he starts pimping But then, he's ALWAYS pimping his book.

Well, if he saw something and couldn't identify it...then by definition it was a UFO...or at least a UO (we don't know that it was flying).

I still think we could use the F.

Floating.

Flying.

To Moontanman,

First of all not sure if you can get a suntan off the moon or can feasibly sunbathe on it.

Now thats out the way, I would just like to say who knows what they saw ?

It could be anything.

ET is out there, I have faith in that (in other words I believe it)

But is unlikely to be visiting us as Amateur astronomers would have found out by now if big spacecraft were buzzing our world.

They are such gossips not one of them would be able to keep shut about it.

You basically have to ask if ET is out there he is not very radio intensive is he ?

Which is fine sort of as we don't yet know if radio is the best form of long distance communication but even then around local worlds radio is pretty useful so you would still expect to pick up some radio, wouldn't you ?

Also where did this craft come from and how did it know Apollo 11 was launching does ET have foresight knowledge are we to believe he/she is omniscient as well as being extra-solar.

How did ET get here so fast just to have a look at basically what to them must have been 'a pretty crap spacecraft'

You think they would have landed and given some advice on spacecraft building sort of like the interstellar equivalent of 'go fast stripes' or 'fluffy dice'

Anything after all would have been an improvement by what to them must have looked like 'a horse drawn cart'

I have come to the conclusion that ET if he/she exists is pretty sarky and purposely only visiting Earth just to sneer at us.

I feel totally miserable now please someone cheer me up and tell me ET doesn't exist.

Well I'm not sure I can give you the information you require. I don't really think anyone can really deny or confirm the existence of ET. Having said that The story goes that ET has been monitoring us for quite some time. Some say WW 2 others say much longer then that. So if they have been looking us over they could have been intercepting our transmissions and pretty much knew what we were up to. One thing that is for sure is that any object following Apollo under it's own power at that time would have been ET. that of course is the real problem, exactly what if anything was following Apollo? Some say it was space craft pieces that weren't identifiable because of the inability to judge distance in space. This of course make more sense than ET. Later flights actually filmed objects that were a little bit more difficult to explain but still without some kind of radar observation real distance in space is difficult to judge. I guess until one lands on the white house lawn or comes into low earth orbit we won't know what is what!
