apollo-11-mystery

But three days and 200,000 miles into the flight, mission control did miss the significance of a cryptic message from the astronauts. Yeah, many idea where the, what the, what respect does. The crew required information on the current position of the S4B, the final stage of the rocket, which had been jettisoned away two days earlier. This short message had an extraordinary turn of events. A Apollo 11 wasn't alone in space. There was something out there that was close enough to be observed and what could it be? Traveling alongside Apollo 11 was a mysterious object like this one filmed in a later mission. If the object wasn't part of Apollo's rockets, it could be only one thing. A UFO. Make the side that 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 el shaped. That didn't tell us very much. NASA knew very little about the object reported by the Apollo 11 crew. It was obviously an unidentified flying object, but such objects were not uncommon. And the history of even Earth orbit space flights going back over the previous years, indicated that several crew saw objects. Despite having a clear view of the UFO, the crew were wary of reporting it to mission control. Obviously, the three of us were not going to blurred out. Hey Houston, we got some moving along, excited us, and we don't know what it is. You know, can you tell us what it is? We weren't about to do that, because we know that those transmissions would be heard by all sorts of people. 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 just cautiously ask Houston where, how far away was the S4B. Unaware of the drama unfolding in space, mission control radio the position back to Apollo 11. Apollo 11 Houston, yet for these, that 6000 article miles from you now over. And a few moments later, where they came back and said something like it was 6000 miles away, because of the maneuvers. We really didn't think we were looking at something that far away. So we decided that after a while, watching it, we was going to sleep and not to talk about it anymore until we came back and debriefing. To this day, whatever it was, the crew saw has never been positively identified or officially acknowledged. The possibility that you might encounter aliens in space has to be considered in a boat sensible and positive and realistic way. There are a lot of people within the program who went off later and became convinced that you first 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.
