Men on the Moon and UFO

According to a recent television documentary, the first men to walk on the reported seeing a . Astronaut , the second man to walk on the Moon's surface after Neil Armstrong, says space agency bosses covered up their sighting. He said: "There was something out there, close enough to be observed, and what could it be? Now, obviously the three of us weren't going to blurt out, 'Hey, Houston, we've got something moving alongside of us and we don't know what it is, you know?'" Aware of all the people who were listening in on the transmissions, the crew was concerned that "somebody might have demanded we turn back because of aliens or whatever the reason is." Instead, they asked Mission Control how far away the S-IVB was, the final stage of the rocket which had been jettisoned away 2 days earlier. After a few moments, Mission Control replied: "Apollo 11, Houston. The S-IVB is about 6,000 nautical miles from you now, over." To the crew, the object they were looking at clearly wasn't the S-IVB and they concluded 1) they weren't alone in space and 2) they weren't going to talk about it until they got back and were debriefed. To this day, whatever it was that the crew saw has never been positively identified or officially acknowledged.
