This photo was snapped only moments after Aldrin's other Apollo 11 shot. Here the two UFOs

pretty obvious implications for UFO
reports. NASA apparently decided to
let
the
UFO
writers spread their
;-umors, hoping that the stories would
fade away if ignored.
What had happened. though. was a
riew shot in the arm for ·'astronaut
UFO cases". The explanations could
never catch up with the mi~inlerpreta•
tions
and
w1ong
impressions
engendered
by
the

conversations and l'iewt'd i111a).(r~ (mm
Apollo-12. :\lillions of ,\meric..ins were
practically eyewitnesses to a "space
UFO", and were suitably impressed.
"E x clusive NASA Photos" and NASA
cJ nsorship is another part of myth . Theso
Apollo-11 spots are highly magnified

When presented with the Saga story
and with APRO's (and MUFON's)
account of the "maneuvering alien
spacecraft at 150,00u miles from
Earth", the a\·erage·citizen could only
assume that iL might indt"'d be true. If
N.-\SA was denying it, '.l'e!l then, the
government has bcl'n kno\'/,1 to lie to
us in the pa~t.
It is a vai:i hop<! to im:.gine that the
