UFO claims
In 2005, while being interviewed for a documentary titled
First on the Moon: The Untold Story, [Buzz] Aldrin told an interviewer that they saw an unidentified flying
object. Aldrin told David Morrison, an NAI Senior Scientist, that the
documentary cut the crew's conclusion that they were probably seeing one of
four detached spacecraft adapter panels. Their S-IVB upper stage was 6,000
miles away, but the panels were jettisoned before the S-IVB made its separation
maneuver so they would closely follow the Apollo 11 spacecraft until its first
midcourse correction.
When Aldrin appeared on The Howard Stern Show on August 15, 2007, Stern asked him about the supposed UFO sighting. Aldrin
confirmed that there was no such sighting of anything deemed extraterrestrial,
and said they were and are "99.9 percent" sure that the object was the detached
panel.
Interviewed by the Science Channel, Aldrin mentioned seeing unidentified objects, and he claims his words were
taken out of context; he asked the Science Channel to clarify to viewers he did not see alien spacecraft, but they refused.
