Yeah do a search on Buzz.. he's recently been saying alot of crazy things. Now, hes saying it's all just in good fun in the name of science fiction?? Alot of people were taking what he was saying literally because he was a former astronaut! Its really disappointing.

Iv heard him say it on the radio (that he knew aliens existed anvisiting earth) and I heard from his voice that he was glad to be spilling the beans. This doesn't make sense at all.
The 'debunker' report is not opinion-based reporting, it is research-based reporting.
It’s said in this interview by Edward Leverne Moragne, Ph.D.
DO YOU KNOW IF ANY U. S. ASTRONAUTS SAW DISCS OR UFO CRAFT ON THE MOON?
I know astronauts have seen UFOs, but they don't want to talk about that because people will say they are kooks.
WHAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED TO YOU?
Huge circular craft, but they aren't going to talk about it.
WHY IS THE UFO/E.T. TRUTH SO SUPPRESSED. WHY SHOULDN'T EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT IT?
All you do is get up a hot steam in Washington when you try to discuss it.
"we have been visited on this planet ! "

since debunker.com has reported false information to the ufo community for over 30 years, i'd say there wasn't any research involved at all.
The crew did indeed report to earth about another tiny object they watched through their monocular. To some of the astronauts, it looked cylindrical, just like their spent rocket stage which was known to be pacing them in a parallel orbit. Said Armstrong, "It was right at the limit of resolution of the eye; it was very difficult to tell just what shape it was." NASA's reasonable assumption was that it was indeed the rocket stage, since it was behaving just like a rocket stage should; other Apollo flights had reported much the same thing.
The Apollo-11 UFO Incidents
by James Oberg
Excerpt from UFOs and Outer Space Mysteries
www.debunker.com...
Mission Control: 'Apollo 11, Houston. The S-IVB is about 6,000 nautical miles from you now, over.'
Buzz: 'We really didn't think we were looking at something that far away.'

July 16, 1969-Apollo 11: This was a mission on which a UFO reportedly chased the spacecraft. "Reportedly, " indeed, but not very accurate. Actually, several UFO stories have attached themselves barnacle-like to man's first moon landing. A photo of an insulation fragment taken soon after third-stage separation has been widely published as a "UFO." The astronauts watched their booster through a telescope on the way to the moon. A series of "UFO photos" allegedly taken by astronaut Aldrin in lunar orbit are actually forgeries by a Japanese UFO magazine. An alleged "astronaut radio conversation " describing a UFO ambush is a hoax.

the following two reports also do not have any basis in reality

report to Earth ? what ? LOL
059:50:16 Duke: Roger. Thank you, Mike. Could you give us some help? This PTC is strange: it's not like anything we've seen before and we were wondering if y'all have had any vents or any odd data that could help us out. Over.
059:50:35 Collins: I didn't understand that. Say again.
059:50:38 Duke: Roger. We're looking at a - sort of a funny looking PTC. We've already drifted out to 70 degrees in pitch and we're wondering if you all have had any vents or any such thing as that, that could have caused us to pick up these rates to drive us off. Over. [Long pause.]
059:51:09 Collins: Negative, Charlie. We don't know of anything.
059:51:11 Duke: Roger.
059:51:13 Collins: Unless it's got something to do with that entry from the position that we want to be in. I don't know.
059:51:21 Duke: Roger. When we started off, it looked real fine to us. Now it's drifting off with a funny pattern that we haven't seen previously on a flight. And we're just trying to figure out - I think we'll probably start it over again. We'll be with you momentarily. Over.
059:51:39 Collins: Okay.
060:45:38 Armstrong: Houston, Apollo 11.
060:45:41 Duke: Go ahead, 11. Over.
060:45:46 Armstrong: Do you have any idea where the S-IVB is with respect to us?
060:45:50 Duke: Stand by.
060:49:02 Duke: Apollo 11, Houston. The S-IVB's about 6,000 nautical miles from you now. Over. [Pause.]
060:49:14 Armstrong: Okay. Thank you.
060:50:07 Collins: Houston, Apollo 11. How's the PTC looking?
060:50:11 Duke: Stand by. [Long pause.]
060:50:32 Duke: 11, Houston. The PTC looks great to us. Over.
060:50:38 Collins: Okay, do you have any idea what happened the previous one?
060:50:42 Duke: We have absolutely no idea. Over.
060:50:49 Collins: Okay. Did, it look like it was all right, then just all of a sudden start diverging?
060:50:57 Duke: That's negative, Mike. If you look at the plot, which we'll save for you and let you see it postflight, it's got - it started off immediately on the first rev and just spiraled out to about, oh, 20 to - 20 degrees in pitch, and then it seemed to be setting up a spiral around an offset pitch point of about 20 degrees off from 90 degrees; but we didn't want to take a chance that it would become stable at that point. We thought it might diverge, and so we called you and started over again. Over.
060:51:39 Collins: Okay, no complaints. I was just curious as to what had happened.

FIFTY-SIX AIRCRAFT PILOT SIGHTlNGS INVOLVING
ELECTROMAGNETIC EFFECTS
Richard F. Haines, Ph.D.
"Reports of anomalous aerial objects (AAO) appearing in the atmosphere continue to be made by pilots of almost every airline and air force of the world in addition to private and experimental test pilots.
This paper presents a review of 56 reports of AAO in which electromagnetic effects (E-M) take place on-board the aircraft when the phenomenon is located nearby but not before it appeared or after it had departed.
Reported E-M effects included radio interference or total failure, radar contact with and without simultaneous visual contact, magnetic and/or gyro-compass deviations, automatic direction finder failure or interference, engine stopping or interruption, dimming cabin lights, transponder failure, and military aircraft weapon system failure.
We're not dealing with mental projections or hallucinations on the part of the witness but with a real physical phenomenon."
Dr. Richard Haines, Psychologist specializing in pilot and astronaut "human factors" research for the Ames NASA Research Center in California-Chief of the Space Human Factors Office.

maybe it's the SIV-B panel ?
Some are flat, some are round, some are long and curved. Some catch the light, flickering as they tumble, others don't. Some appear suddenly as they drift out of the spacecraft's shadow into the bright sun. It is a visual kaleidoscope of unearthly -- but to experienced spacefarers, entirely prosaic -- apparitions.

Hey man not cool.
Just because the only proof of the Apollo mission having occurred comes from NASA doesn't mean they didn't go man. Just wait, another country like the Soviet Union or India will take a picture of the landers and you'll see man... you'll see.

The telescopes in the satellites are just too far away.

Another nation or part other than NASa would have to put a camera probe in orbit around the moon to get a decent shot of the landers.

But if I was going to fakes the mission I would have left artifacts at the supposed landing sites knowing that someone else would eventually image the areas.
Some of the Google earth images don't come from satellites, some of it has been taken from sources other than satellites.

How come that looking for instance to Google Earth, and seeing the possibilities of the momentarily available photographic or video technology the satellites already have [and what we see is no doubt not even close to their real capabilities] so that if necessary they are able to shoot a clear image of even a dozing cricket in your garden, how come that they are not be able to filming and/or shooting photographs of those Apollo lander platforms and rovers over there so clear that you even can count the belts in the back of their seats?
And of course there are other sources besides kites. The higher resolution imagery seems to be available near more heavily populated areas.
some of the photos are even better than what you normally see because we are flying a camera only a few hundred feet above the ground with a kite!
Google just recently published our photos of Manihi in the latest imagery update. You can see the results below in Google Maps, or in Google Earth [Google Earth Required. You must have GE installed.] Make sure you zoom in close to see all the amazing detail. It's way better than the surrounding satellite imagery for the rest of Manihi.
The GeoEye-1 Satellite was launched last September, and "transmitted its first, full color half-meter ground resolution images" a month later.
The latest commercial satellite (GeoEye 1) has a GSD of 0.41 m (effectively 0.5 m due to US Govt restrictions on civilian imaging).
LROC will provide images of meter and smaller-scale features that pose a potential threat to landing and obstacles to trafficability. An accurate assessment of the surface characteristics requires 0.5 m/pixel resolution in order to unambiguously identify meter-size objects.
