Are UFO's real? (LINK)
February 21st 2008 06:59
I watched a documentary on TV last week (ABC) on the 1969 moon landing that was absolutely riveting and fascinating. I will background this by saying I personally feel that this was the greatest triumph in the history of mankind to date. So I was flabbergasted, shocked, and amazed to recently discover that my own brother firmly believes that the moon landing/s were faked. I guess idiots including my own flesh and blood are entitled to an opinion.
Oh there's a plethora of web sites for and against the moon landing being a real bonifide event and I suppose it will continue to be controversial to the conspiracy theorists who say outrageous things like; the holocaust never happened, or that the CIA planned and executed the terrorist plot of 911. I didn't start this post for a debate on any of these subjects, or the lack of factual information that attempts to support such hair-brained theories and ideas, but rather inform people about a piece of information from the aforementioned documentary that has only been released from NASA some 39 years after the event, and can possibly begin to explain why so many of us believe in UFO's.
On the way to the moon Apollo 11 (or part of it) was making it's 250,000 mile journey across space and the three astronauts were all about to get some sleep when Buzz Aldrin looked out the window and saw an object following them in space. It was unusual in its shape, lighting, colour, so he started to film it with a hand-held video camera. Michael Collins & Neil Armstrong also clearly witnessed what they could only describe as a UFO. They then decided that before they radioed Houston with the fact they were being followed by something, they should check the location of the 2nd fuel stage they'd jettisoned hours earlier. They all agreed this was the best approach under the circumstances as they all feared in agreeing it was a UFO, Houston could possibly think they were all suffering delusions and abort the whole mission. In addition the astronauts were all aware that their broadcasts were being monitored by the world's media, so again it was best to keep UFO's and little green men to a minimum. Houston returned the position of the ejected fuel stage as being some 6000 miles from their position. Buzz Aldrin joked that you can see a long way in space but not that far. So whatever it was out the window, following them, was 100% UFO. They then agreed to (I loved this part) IGNORE IT, and only discuss this if/when they returned from the moon and were being de-briefed.
On their return to earth, they were de-briefed and gave NASA the video footage of the UFO. They all swore they would not talk to ANY Media about this until such time it was deemed appropriate to mention it. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! So it was completely hushed and buried in NASA's archives and reports. Buzz Aldrin said whilst they couldn't say anything to the media, they could talk to their NASA buddies about what they saw, backed up by the video and radar information. So from that point in time a community of those who knew began to draw the obvious conclusions that UFO's exist, and not only that three highly trained astronauts would swear their lives on it. Buzz Aldrin said that the growth in the number of UFO sightings and believers was partially spawned by what they saw and filmed in 1969. Something we as the public have not known about for 39 years.
Incredible huh? Makes you wonder what else they didn't tell us and are waiting until such time in the future that we can make any sense of it.
