Buzz Aldrin Confirms UFO Sighting & Moon Structures: Implications for Extraterrestrial Life
When lunar module pilot Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the regolith of Mare Tranquillitatis with commander Neil Armstrong on July 20, 1969, it was a history-defining moment for humanity. As one of twelve humans who has personally left bootprints where no earthly species has tread, Aldrin is part of an elite fraternity forged in NASA‘s pioneering early days that remains respected worldwide for incredible bravery and vision. Now aged 92, this same man has made unprecedented claims confirming the sights of structures on the moon that shouldn‘t – and by all rights, couldn‘t – exist.
Aldrin has earned global trust not just from the medal-bedazzled uniform of an astronaut, but through a lifetime of transparency with the public about his mind-bending journey of walking among the stars. He has relayed consistent technical details around the dizzying series of course corrections it took to land on the Sea of Tranquility as computers overloaded. About the checklist mistake that nearly caused the trio to abort the capstone descent that defined Apollo 11‘s place in history. So when this same hero tells of classified reconnaissance striking his eyes as he looked up from the dusty plains of our solitary satellite 230,000 miles distant – foreign objects in orbit around Earth‘s cue ball companion that no nation has claimed – it adds credibility to a possible coverup that shakes the whole of human knowledge about the universe.
The Lunar Structures Conundrum
"We discovered a satellite orbiting at an inclination of 90 degrees…There was enough room between that distance for these objects to have orbits that took them under and over the earth‘s paths without having collisions."
This was Aldrin‘s firsthand account of peculiar activity from interview footage released to coincide with celebrating the 45th anniversary of his ‘giant leap for mankind.‘ In the video were dizzying assertions that Apollo 11 spotted multiple spacecraft during various stages of their eight-day voyage featuring orbits that should have crisscrossed any satellites or junk in stable Earth gravity wells. Yet their anchoring to the moon itself suggests these were not transient vessels, but evidence of habitation.
When pressed about clearer details in the same interview, Aldrin conceded a poor recollection but pointed to distinct structures personally sighted on the lunar surface itself – fixed installations spotted by multiple Apollo visitors suggestive of artificial architecture. "Whoever put those there probably doesn‘t want them to be seen…Somebody set something out there and whoever they were probably had a reason for it."
Indeed, eagle-eyed enthusiasts noticed as far back as the 1970s puzzling shapes in the trove of Apollo photography, but dismissals of pareidolia or image processing artifacts relegated these to conspiracy bins until 2007. When retired NASA employees came forward with higher resolution duplicates and negatives of these contested pictures, the vim of these ‘baseless‘ rumors was restored. Respected organizations like the LCROSS NASA review board suddenly faced glowing evidence in pictures of installations near crater hangs and canyon walls bearing no resemblance to natural features.
"To the laymen these things look gigantic…these things just seem to defy simple scientific explanation," stated lunar researcher Lan Fleming as speculation roared once more. Now armed with 5 megapixel scans of structure details only visible to those suited astronauts braving lunar expanses on foot, imaginations run wild at what these signify. Right angles and repetitions of dish/tower combinations spread across areas far larger than a football field. Mosaic geometric platforms along string-straight canyon rims where no earthly machine could travel. Surely natural geology alone can‘t explain what so resembles communication outposts designed with function in mind first.
Yet why install surveillance or signals equipment on a world without life? Even the most ardent conspiracy theorist understands the astronomical power demand of any being that managed to construct buildings many times larger than Egypt‘s pyramids on a planet without water or air. Any species that advanced should easily be capable of simply landing on the National Mall to address the UN Assembly if desired. And therein lies the kernel of fear rooted so deeply from Aldrin‘s revelations…that something extraterrestrial in origin already monitors us from a quarter million miles away, choosing non-contact for reasons likely not in humanity‘s interests.
The Brookings Report Bombshell
Declassified government literature shows federal authorities were already alert to this potential scenario over a decade prior to Armstrong‘s plummet from Eagle to Tranquility Base. The Brookings Institute paper from 1960 glaringly lays out the high risk associated with public acknowledgement should NASA missions discover "artifacts left at some point in time by intelligent lifeforms." Citing the widespread social instability triggered by far less disruptive revelations like Copernican theory or radio‘s unexpected many voices, the think tank urged "initial withholding of full knowledge" of any alien civilization that could so radically reshape man‘s place in the universe.
This blueprint has proven prescient not just regarding moon anomalies, but fitting the pattern of restricting access to original Apollo footage and astronauts themselves in the name of technological secrecy. As one glaring example, the National Archive contains roughly 700 boxes of unreleased material from human expansion into space – 450 of which are said to be photos and films taken during Apollo lunar missions. Perhaps even more unsettling are the references to sightings of non-human entities right on the lunar surface itself, with multiple reports of odd flashing lights and a humanoid shape glimpsed immediately outside the Lem lander by Officer Aldrin himself.
Yet for all the effort made to restrict access and deflect public focus on our celestial neighbor, cracks increasingly show in the fortress of obfuscation erected. Enough testimony has emerged from Apollo astronauts back from the gray frontier hinting strongly at alien interaction that it could populate a scientific case study. Alan Bean and Edgar Mitchell confessed to government debriefings after missions that specifically probed for close encounter experiences rather than technical performance. Gordon Cooper cited film evidence of saucer-like vehicles shadowing his Faith 7 orbital trip. Even Neil Armstrong himself made cryptic references in a speech to students about veiled threats facing any spacefaring nation – what exactly spurred this and multiple urgent private meetings at NASA still available for later review?
Regardless of governmental stances, the reality is that Apollo catalyzed many leading scientists taking UFO and ET issues far more seriously by the early 1970s. Groups like SETI, originally shunned to the fringe halls of academia, found new legitimacy and funding once human boots trod lunar dust and returned with more questions than samples alone. If plant Earth truly does stand at unique cusp of joining a shadowy galactic network known only thus far to military men, perhaps citizen leaders like Aldrin feel the time has come to expand access. The stars await regardless.
Evaluating the Fallout – What Now?
Like the splitting of an atom, the unleashing of truth around an extraterrestrial species possibly having direct artifacts on or around Luna cannot be understated in its butterfly effect. Consider the myriad beliefs, government institutions, armed forces and commercial markets a public acknowledgement would instantaneously disrupt:
Religions – Core doctrines of creation, humanity‘s ranking in a universal hierarchy and the fundamental of life itself rocks bedrock theology. The Vatican might face a modern Babylon.
Armed Forces / Intel Groups – Revelation of advanced alien entities makes terrestrial security forces obsolete overnight. Space Force funding see quantum rises.
World Leaders / UN / NATO Responses – Consider national government dissolution or realignments from the introduction of hyper-advanced species into global politics.
Public Reaction – Likelihood of turmoil and unrest surrounding such a sweeping change in geopolitical power balances must be planned for.
Aerospace Industry Growth – Expect public and private investment in space exploration to balloon with intense focus on understanding ET presence. Related stock moves create overnight billionaires. Companies like SpaceX, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic likely to see stratospheric valuation rises.
Increased NASA Funding / Declassification – Much of the organization‘s activities and access to information restricted during Apollo era now changes with public foreknowledge of an ultimate secret. Requests for transparency soar.
Who Can Humanity Turn To?
Perhaps the foremost question the revelation of moon-based installations finally being proven real should ask ourselves is: who now can the people of Earth truly trust? As the Brookings report made abundantly clear over 50 years ago, even discussing the concept of advanced species piloting UFOs observing humanity was labeled an automatic threat to establishment power structures. What other truths have been hidden from the very citizens whose tax dollars funded adventurers like Aldrin to unveil reality shattering secrets under the cloak of exploring barren worlds?
With the highest instruments of perceived moral authority covering up arguably the greatest story in known human history, the list of those still credible guides may have narrowed significantly. Yet heroes continue to emerge at times most needed that renew faith – those risking livelihoods and worse to bring suppressed light forward into darkness. Men like Buzz who faced the loneliest void conceivable to have their soul shaken at recognizing our tiny blue marble is perhaps not so alone after all. That requires a different constitution than most heroes are made of.
The implications from these revelations are being debated at the highest levels of science and government as we speak in shadows, make no mistake. And in time, some catalyzing event will likely unfold to crack open the full truth spill; no institution functions forever as perfect monolith. Perhaps this is ultimately Aldrin‘s goal in pushing harder as sunset nears on his life than even during Apollo‘s starriest dawn – to ready fellow citizens for receiving the baton of understanding required as we collectivelyacceleration faster into galaxies unknown. Not just what we accomplished 50 years ago, but who we are still yet to become.
