Armstrong con- firmed that the story was true but refused to go into further detail, beyond admit- ting that the CIA was behind the cover-up. James Lovell and Frank Borman In December 1965, Gemini astronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman also saw a UFO during the second orbit of their record-breaking 14-day flight. Borman reported that he saw an unidenti- fied spacecraft some distance from their capsule. Gemini Control at Cape Kennedy told him that he was seeing the final stage of their own Titan booster rocket. Borman confirmed that he could see the booster rocket all right, but that he could also see something completely different. This communication was reported during James Lovell's flight on Gemini 7: Lovell: “Bogey at 10 o'clock high." Capcom: “This is Houston. Say again, Seven." Lovell: "Said we have a bogey at 10 o'clock high." Capcom: “Gemini 7, is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?” Lovell: "We have several actual sight- ings." Capcom: "Estimated distance or size?" Lovell: "We also have the booster in sight.” Major Robert White On 17 July 1962, Major Robert White reported a UFO during his flight of an X- 15. Major White reported: "I have no idea what it could be. It was greyish in colour and about thirty to forty feet away." Neil Armstrong and "Buzz" Aldrin According to NASA astronaut Neil Armstrong, the aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon, According to hitherto-unconfirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by a request from Mission Control for further information. Nothing more was heard. According to a former NASA employee, Otto Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange: NASA: "What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11." Apollo 11: "These 'babies' are huge, sir! Enormous! Oh my God! You wouldn't believe it!
