Video (3min 52sec): Apollo 11 is the mission that put man on the moon. About half-way into the trip, the astronauts spotted a strange object. Buzz Aldrin talks about what they did and having to hide it from NASA to stop any panic. The UFO was never determined.
Obviously the three of us were not gonna blurt out 'hey, Houston, we got something movin' along side of us and we don't know what it is'. Ya know? 'Can you tell us what it is?'
We weren't about to do that. 'Cause we know that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people. And who knows what somebody woulda demanded? That we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is. So, we didn't do that, but we did decide we'd just cautiously ask Houston where, how far away was the S-IVB.
