Buzz Aldrin Does not Mention UFO Claim on Coast

Buzz Aldrin did not mention seeing unusual or unexplained objects on the
Apollo 11 mission on Coast to Coast AM during his July 31st appearance.
He has been quoted in numerous British newspapers as stating on
Britain's Channel 5 on Monday, July 24 that he, Neil Armstrong and
Michael Collins all saw something unknown shadowing Apollo 11 on the way
to the moon. Brtish media reports state that he said, "There was
something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be?"
in a documentary called "Apollo 11, the Untold Story." He made no
reference to this statement on Coast to Coast AM tonight, but did
mention a lawsuit he had pursued against Charles Berlitz for falsely
claiming that he said he'd seen little green men.

In the documentary, "Apollo 11, the Untold Story," he allegedly says,
"Now, obviously the three of us weren't going to blurt out, 'Hey,
Houston, we've got something moving alongside of us and we don't know
what it is,' you know? We weren't about to do that, because we knew that
that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people and
somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever
the reason is." Unknowncountry is endeavoring to obtain a copy of the
documentary, and will report further on this matter.

It has just been learned that all but two of the 700 boxes of Apollo 11
videos are mysteriously missing from the National Archives. The footage
of the Apollo 11 mission was recorded on special 1-inch magnetic tape,
and the only machines that can play it are at Goddard Space Flight
Center in Maryland, which is being closed in the fall of 2006.

Astronaut Gordon Cooper, who took part in the earlier Mercury and Gemini
missions, had his first UFO sighting as an Air Force pilot. He later
said that a UFO landed at Edwards Air Force Base. In 1985, Cooper
testified at the UN, saying, "I believe that these extraterrestrial
vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets,
which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here
on Earth. For many years I have lived with a secret, in a secrecy
imposed on all specialists and astronauts. I can now reveal that every
day, in the USA, our radar instruments capture objects of form and
composition unknown to us." Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who was the 6th
man to walk on the moon, has also said he believes in the existence of
UFOs.
