Newly released documents from the Defence Department’s UFO files say Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, the second person to walk on the moon, spoke about three unusual sightings during a post-mission crew debriefing. He reportedly said: “The first unusual thing that we saw I guess was one day out or something pretty close to the moon.
“It had a sizeable dimension to it, so we put the monocular on it.” He also described seeing intermittent light activity while the crew tried to sleep in darkness.
He further noted: “The other observation that I made accumulated gradually. I don’t know whether I saw it the first night, but I’m sure I saw it the second night.
“I was trying to go to sleep with all the lights out. I observed what I thought were little flashes inside the cabin, spaced a couple of minutes apart.”
Aldrin added that he noticed a separate bright light source that the crew tried to explain. Aldrin added: “I observed what appeared to be a fairly bright light source which we tentatively ascribed to a possible laser.”
According to recently declassified files released by the Trump administration, NASA astronauts were left stunned by “bright objects” drifting past their spacecraft during the Apollo missions. The long-awaited data dump, ordered by US President Donald Trump, has finally blown the lid off decades of top-secret government records concerning Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the Daily Star previously reported.
While the files contain hundreds of videos and photographs, the most striking evidence comes from the lunar surface. Transcripts from the Apollo 12 and Apollo 17 missions reveal the moment world-famous explorers spotted potential signs they weren’t alone in the vacuum of space.
During the Apollo 17 mission, the crew became transfixed by mysterious fragments stalking their ship. One operator, clearly baffled by the sight, radioed mission control to report: “Now we’ve got a few very bright particles or fragments or something that go drifting by as we manoeuvre.”
The situation escalated as more craft appeared to surround the module.
Another crew member described a scene of pure chaos outside his glass, saying: “There’s a whole bunch of big ones on my window down there – just bright.
“It looks like the Fourth of July out of Ron’s window.”
The testimony is supported by a declassified photograph taken from the Moon’s surface, which appears to show three unexplained glowing dots hovering in the pitch-black lunar sky.
