Were US Astronauts Ordered

Not To Report UFOs & Aliens?

"At no time, when the astronauts were in space were they alone: there was a
constant surveillance by UFOs." - Scott Carpenter

Buzz Aldrin is a brilliant man. Not simply remarkable for his intellect but a
deeply spiritual man. Long since retired, Colonel Aldrin now orbits the innermost
dimensions of his mind, a secretive universe as deep and mysterious as the far
reaches of the moon.

As a young airman, my path took me into a close encounter with Colonel Aldrin,
more than 30 years ago. As a chauffer with a radio-operated staff car, I served at
Lackland AFB when Colonel Aldrin was undergoing a series of tests there. One
afternoon my radio crackled that colonel Aldrin would need a ride to Wilford Hall,
the large base hospital. Sadly my car wasn't chosen. I,ve often wondered since
then whether the "nervous breakdown' this remarkable astronaut suffered was due to
the government pressure or not. I think it was.

Why did Colonel Aldrin suffer a "nervous breakdown' at that time? The weight of
sudden celebrity, certainly. Deification by the adoring press and masses. But
there was something more.

According to Fred Steckling, author of the book, We Discovered Alien Bases on the
Moon II, Aldrin might have wanted to proclaim the truth of what he saw. Very
likely, Pentagon and White House officials, fearful as always, would have cajoled,
convinced or threatened him not to do so.

According to Steckling:

"The following list of facts I have learned from several individuals who are
working or who have worked or been linked with NASA in some way over the years.
For obvious reasons I will not now use their real names. The list below represents
some of the information from three people: one is currently working in DOD
missions for NASA; another started working with NASA & DOD when JSC (Johnson Space
Center) was built. The third is a scientist who has worked at NASA and other
facilities(and with) Edward Teller.'

There are buildings on the Moon.There is mining equipment on the Moon.

Photos, NASA photos, do exist which clearly show both of these. Hundreds, but
probably thousands, of NASA photos have been tampered with. Specifically, by
careful use of an airbrush, flying saucers and other UFOs can be removed, and then
the photo is released to the public and/or press.

Film taken by astronauts clearly show UFOs, IFOs, Alien Vehicles, etc. The NSA
screens all photos before release to the public. Everything that NASA has launched
has been closely monitored by at least one 'alien' culture.

NASA knew about 'alien' activity on the Moon before Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins
ever set foot on it. Edwin Aldrin at one point found evidence that we were NOT THE
FIRST to arrive on the moon. After first seeing and then taking photographs of
footprints in the lunar soil (Aldrin) then saw the beings that made the footprints
(the report and transcripts of conversations between the astronauts were not clear
if Aldrin had physical and/or mental contact with the entities).

"Alien Vehicles flew within 50 feet of a U.S. space vehicle for one full Earth
orbit and then the AV departed; again while Aldrin was present. 'Buzz' Aldrin had
a nervous breakdown because of these events and the pressure not to talk. There
have been 22 deaths (many 'suicides') at JSC in Houston. No astronaut who has seen
AVs or ETs is allowed to talk about it, even amongst themselves. If they do and
are caught they may be fined, publicly humiliated, imprisoned, or have all
pensions and future salaries taken away.'(my emphasis)

How much of the above account is fictional and how much fact? Only those who went
to the moon and back know for certain. There are many second-hand accounts and
alleged conversations, (Google UFO Sightings by Astronauts) where both Aldrin and
Armstrong state, in no uncertain terms, they saw huge ships and other signs of
alien occupation of the moon.

Return to Earth, Aldrin's autobiography, tells of his struggle with depression and
alcoholism following his long and dedicated USAF and NASA career. Did NASA, CIA
and the Pentagon compell Colonel Aldrin (and every other astronaut) to conceal
what they saw on the moon? How much did this contribute to Aldrin's mental
problems?

Some time ago the Science Channel (Original Source) aired a program called "First
on the Moon: The Untold Story.' One segment described a UFO encounter that Apollo
11 astronauts witnessed during flight to the moon. Aldrin spoke of something he
saw.

'To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time that Buzz Aldrin, an Apollo
11 astronaut, had ever publicly recounted any UFO experience associated with the
Apollo 11 moon mission,' wrote Dave Stone.

Buzz Aldrin remarked, "There was something out there that, uh, was close enough to
be observed and what could it be?...Mike (Collins) decided he thought he could see
it in the telescope and he was able to do that and when it was in one position,
that had a series of ellipses, but when you made it real sharp it was sort of L
shaped.'

"NASA knew very little about, um, the object reported by the Apollo 11 crew. It
was obviously an unidentified flying object,' said Senior NASA scientist, Dr.
David Baker. "But such objects were not uncommon and the history of even earth
orbit space flights going back over the previous years indicated that SEVERAL
CREWS SAW OBJECTS" (emphasis mine).

"Now, obviously, the three of us were not going to blurt out, 'Hey Houston we got
something moving along side of us and we don't know what it is,' observed Aldrin.
"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 would have 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?'

The S-IVB served as the third stage on the Saturn V and second stage on the Saturn
IB. It had one J-2 engine. For lunar mission it was used twice: first for the
orbit insertion after second stage cutoff, and then for the trans lunar injection
(TLI). Now NASA reported the separated stage 6,000 miles behind. Obviously they
didn't detect any UFO.

Aldrin replied: "And a few momentswe decided that after a while of watching it
(UFO), it was time to go to sleep and not to talk about it anymore until we came
back and (went through) debriefing."

NASA scientist, David Baker said, "There were a lot of people within the program
who went off later and became convinced that UFOs existed and that led to some
concern on NASA's part where they got the agreement of the crew never to publicly
talk about these things for fear of ridicule."

Perhaps one day, a living astronaut, a once-and-future hero, will come forward and
frankly say what he saw and experienced. "One of these guys---sooner or later---
has to go public," observed one prominent UFO researcher." This is a cosmic cover-
up of the highest order."
