Declassified UFO files show Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin reported three strange sightings during a post-mission crew debriefing, including lights and a bright object near the Moon
Everything we know about Buzz Aldrin’s ‘UFO files’
- Newly declassified Defence Department documents have blown the lid off decades of UFO secrecy, revealing that Apollo 11 hero Buzz Aldrin spotted mysterious objects during his historic moon mission.
- The legendary astronaut described three bizarre sightings during a post-mission crew debriefing, including a “sizeable” object near the moon that left the crew baffled.
- Aldrin told officials: “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.”
- The second man on the moon also reported seeing strange flashes inside the cabin, saying: “I observed what I thought were little flashes inside the cabin, spaced a couple of minutes apart.”
- The bombshell revelations are part of a massive data dump ordered by former US President Donald Trump, exposing top-secret government records on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
- Other Apollo missions also encountered unexplained phenomena, with Apollo 17 crew members describing “bright particles” stalking their spacecraft and comparing the scene to “the Fourth of July.”
- The testimony is backed up by a declassified photograph from the Moon’s surface showing three mysterious glowing dots hovering in the pitch-black lunar sky.
