U.S. Astronauts reveal encounters with apparent Extraterrestrials and UFOs

Edited by Peter Tremblay

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."

On Dateline NBC in 1996, Mitchell was even more candid. "I have no
firsthand experience, but I have had the opportunity to meet with
people from three countries who in the course of their official
duties claim to have had personal firsthand encounter experiences...
with Extraterrestrials," he said. Jim Marrs says that "Mitchell
flatly stated that some advanced military craft use technology
derived from alien spacecraft that have been collected by the U.S.
Government."

Cooper, in a letter read during a 1978 meeting at the United Nations
to discuss UFOs, stated, "...I believe that these extraterrestrial
vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet form other planets,
which are obviously a little more advanced than we are here on
Earth."

Also that year, Mr. Cooper wrote a letter to the ambassador of the
Mission of Grenada to the United Nations supporting a UN initiative
to study UFOs. In his letter, Cooper stated that astronauts "are very
reluctant even to discuss UFOs due to the great numbers of people who
have indiscriminately sold fake stories and forged documents, abusing
their names and reputations without hesitation. Those few astronauts
who have continued to participate in the UFO field have had to do so
very cautiously. There are several of us who do believe in UFOs and
who have had occasion to see a UFO on the ground, or from an
airplane."

Cooper's mention of a "UFO on the ground. apparently was a reference
to his own experience at Edwards Air Force Base on May 2, 1957. In
1993, Cooper gave this account of the incident: "I had a crew that
was filming an installation of a precision landing system we were
installing out on the dry lake bed, and they were there with stills
and movies, and filmed the whole installation and they came running
in to tell me that this UFO, a little saucer, had come down right
over them, put down three gear, and landed about 50 yards from them,
and as they proceeded to go on over to get a closer shot of it, it
lifted up, put the gear in, and disappeared in a rapid rate of speed.

"And so I had to follow my directions as a military... I had to look
up the regulations on who I was to call to report this, which I did,
and they ordered me to immediately have the film developed, put it in
a pouch, and send them by the commanding general's plane to
Washington, which I did. And that was the last I've ever heard of the
film."

It is interesting to note indicates Mr. Marrs that, "despite the
continued protests that there is no government secrecy regarding
UFOs, there is no public report on this incident. Although the event
was listed in the Project Blue Book index, a full report and clear
photos are suspiciously absent."

Yet Mr. Cooper, who reported the UFO landing, was selected as a
Mercury astronaut only two years later. In a 1996 interview, Mr.
Cooper said he discounts any conventional explanation for his
experience. Asked his thoughts on UFOs, the astronaut said, "Well, I
figured it was somebody coming from some distant place to visit us."

Steve Omar, another investigative journalist and researcher,
indicates that J. Allen Hynek (who investigated U.F.O.s for the U.S.
Air Force), Major Donald Keyhoe, Timothy Good (in his book Above Top
Secret) suggest secrecy about UFOs and Extraterrestrials. One
unquestionably absolute expert we may want to consult is Christopher
Kraft, who was Director of the NASA tracking base in Houston during
the Apollo Moon missions, when he revealed the following
conversation "after" he left his work at NASA:

- ASTRONAUTS NElL ARMSTRONG and BUZZ ALDRIN speaking from the
Moon: "Those are giant things. No, no, no .... this is not an optical
illusion. No one is going to believe this!"

- MISSION CONTROL (HOUSTON CENTER): "What...what...what? What the
hell is happening? What's wrong with you?"

- ASTRONAUTS: "They're here under the surface."

- MISSION CONTROL: "What's there? Emission interrupted...
interference control calling Apollo II."

- ASTRONAUTS: "We saw some visitors. They were there for awhile,
observing the instruments."

- MISSION CONTROL: "Repeat your last information."

- ASTRONAUTS: "I say that there were other spaceships. They're lined
up on the other side of the crater."

- MISSION CONTROL: "Repeat...repeat!"

- ASTRONAUTS: "Let us sound this orbita ..... In 625 to 5...
automatic relay connected... My hands are shaking so badly I can't do
anything. Film it? God, if these damned cameras have picked up
anything... what then?"

- MISSION CONTROL: "Have you picked up anything?"

- ASTRONAUTS: "I didn't have any film at hand. Three shots of the
saucers or whatever they were that were ruining the film."

- MISSION CONTROL: "Control, control here. Are you on your way? Is
the uproar with the U.F.O.s. over?

- ASTRONAUTS: "They've landed there. There they are and they are
watching us."

- MISSION CONTROL: "The mirrors, the mirrors...have you set them up?"

> - ASTRONAUTS: "Yes, they're in the right place. But whoever made
those space ships surely can come tomorrow and remove them. Over and
out."

There is an unconfirmed report, also documented by Steve Omar, that
when Buzz Aldrin opened the door after landing on the Moon, he
immediately saw a transparent etherical being staring at him outside.
Welcome to the Moon?? Allegedly, NASA Director Kraft added that there
was a public and a secret private A.S.A. radio frequency between Moon
and Mission Control and that the conversation above took place during
a mysterious two minute interruption in public transmissions. To
prove it is the truth, hundreds of independent CIVILIAN radio
operators with powerful VHF equipment separately reported hearing the
AME spaceship report from the Apollo moon-walkers!

"Soviet radio operators also picked it up and published it in Moscow.
Another mysterious radio message from the Moon was broadcast on
French public television only one time before it was censored AFTER
it leaked out. That transmission appeared to be a mysterious clearly
spoken ALIEN LANGUAGE," further reports Steve Omar.

The famous French historian and author Robbert Charroux published the
transmission which has been suppressed in the U.S. It came from U.S.
astronaut Worden who transmitted it to NASA, and expert linguists
have been unable to translate the message.

Since early on, the US Government has denied rumors of alien presence on our planet. However, some of the evidence appears to be irrefutable, particularly that of our NASA Astronauts.

Read for yourself that which has been reported by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins on the Apollo 11 Mission as well as Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell.

The pressure is on. It is time to admit that there has been a connection between the world military leaders and off-world beings.

More and more civilians all over the world are seeing the ships every day. These are not pockets of nut-cases, folks, these are real people making real sightings.

And, we have been using alien technology for years, most of which has benefitted our military. However, one very important piece of alien technology has benefitted mankind in an interesting sort of way.

Next time you look at one of those inexpensive brilliantly lit Christmas trees in the dollar store that comes right out of the box with twinky lights and ornaments with the little colorful disk at the bottom that revolves to make the colors change .... Thank an Alien for Fiber Optics!
