The First Apollo Mission Radio ...mystery

This may no be true so I will apologise in advance as I realise this is the serious discussion thread on space.
When I was growing up we had an old four track reel to reel tape record this was used to tape the moon missioner, later my Uncle told me that during the radio broadcast of the first moon mission a voice was heard speaking in a foreign language, he told me that investigations concluded it was an ancient aramic dialect.
Though we have now lost the tapes he told me he had listened to that passage of the broadcast several times and it was very strange.
Does anyone know of these aramic words during the broadcast?
How did they get on the radio? Have the words been translated yet?
Thanks, and I apologise again if it was some sort of prank my Uncle fell for.

I have never heard anything to the sort that you have described, regarding Apollo.

I bet your Uncle was playing around with you.

No he believed what he said.
He stayed up and listened like many.
Iam sure someone from that time can back him up.
He told me my father had the recordings , but we lost them when we migrated to the USA in the seventies.
The recordings were made from some amateur radio clubs transmissions I think in the North of the UK.
Iam sure someone can provide some insight , I have googled and nothing pertinent comes back.

There weren't a lot of uses for Aramaic over the crowded downlinks in the Apollo days.

I can assume this isnt a widely known incident?
Iam not trying to be cute, and I believe I do remember hearing something about it on a documentary years later.
My Uncle was not a fantasist, he in fact I feel was obseesed about what he heard as an avid listener to the radio broadcast of Apollo 11.
What I understand is many people tuned into amateur radio relay broadcasts.
In England many household radiograms had short wave vhf uhf frequency receivers.
My Uncle Jake had borrowed my fathers reel to reel and recorded probably most of the broadcast mission.
As I said I dont want to clog the factual section of ATS but Iam not making this up and I truly believe my Uncle heard a foreign language as he said.
There was an investigation , my Uncle read about it.
He told me the language was identified by investigators as Aramic.
But that it was some obscure form of that language.
Hence my post.
Iam sure by instinct there is something more than nothing to this.

Well you are in a good place to figure this out IMO, ATS viewers will no doubt shead light on this...

...I'd see if you can reword your searches or include alittle more info, so that others may assit you in the uncovering.

It might have been the prayer Aldrin said in the LM.

here's a part of the text in the link:

Here’s how he described it in Return to Earth: During the first idle moment in the LM before eating our snack, I reached into my personal preference kit and pulled out two small packages which had been specially prepared at my request. One contained a small amount of wine, the other a small wafer. With them and a small chalice from the kit, I took communion on the moon, reading to myself from a small card I carried on which I had written the portion of the Book of John used in the traditional communion ceremony. (p. 233)

I have tried Aramic interruptions on Apollo 11 missions, apollo 11 radio interruptions, arabic radio voices on apollo11, aramic radio voices on apollo 11, mystery voices on apollo 11 mission radio broadcast, ect ect
I have uncovered some pretty interesting info and sites but nothing about what thread pertains to.
I know my Uncle Jake said it blocked out everything for a few minutes, so perhaps it was a religious type on ham radio?
But he said it was heard by the ground controls as well.
Anyway if its not out there I guess its not true.

Thanks mate maybe that is the answer.
If so why didnt he say it in the language of his country?
I know he was a jew, Iam not trying to be provocative.
My guess is the Apollo 11 mission had a very heavy Jewish influence?
But out of respect to the USA you would think he could have spoke English.
But I guess respect is an outdated western notion.
Anyways I hope this isnt the true answer.

Well keep looking if you feel its worthy of research, I personally haven't had any luck either finding anything about the situation you speak of...

But that doesn't mean it didn't happen. It might be the Aldrin sermon on the surface of the moon like another had brought up.

Thanks all for the input, it is a little strange how no one knows what he said?
Why aramic?
Why not latin?
Was it intended for only Jewish listeners?
Very odd.

Too bad the only tape of this incident was lost. All that anyone can do now is speculate and/or fantasize.

I seem to take a mighty battering when I say Buzz Aldrin was a jew.
OK I will say he was a catholic who for some obscure reason said a prayer in Aramic not latin.
I thought it was very common knowledge that Buzz was a Jew.
There was a debate after all on who was going to be the first on the moon, be it Buzz (the jewish astronaut) or Armstrong ( the christian astronaut) it is strange how now they are all christians.

reply to post by Dr Conspire

Buzz Aldrin is not and never was Jewish. Nor is he Catholic, he is a Presbyterian.

There was no "debate" over who would be the first man to walk on the Moon, at least not as far as NASA was concerned. Armstrong was recruited as an astronaut in 1962, Aldrin in 1963. Armstrong had senority. The hatch on the LM opened inward, away from the commander (Armstrong) and toward the pilot (Aldrin). Aldrin could not have left the LM before Armstrong did.

Aldrin's communion was taken in secret, it was not transmitted to Earth because of a lawsuit by Madalyn Murray O'Hair over the reading from Genesis on Apollo 8. I do not believe it is true that any Apollo transmissions were made in aramaic or any language other than English.

Oh my Gosh Iam going from one foot in the mouth post to another regarding Mr Aldrin, Iam very confused.
Ok he is not Jewish apparently.
I feel like a fool I apolgise profusely.
But there is still then the aramic voice heard in at least the North of England.
So my head is spinning all three Astronauts were non jewish on Apollo 11?
This is not how I heard it growing up , is there a rewriting of history going on here?
I have googled and I can see its true.
Wow Iam truly sorry for suggesting Buzz spoke in Aramic on rhe moon.

My best guess would be interference from a amateur radio transmission. Or a clandestine transmission. When conditions are right you can hear clear across the world.

Yes this could be the answer, aramic is obscure and I was told a rare dialect (not able to be fully translated was heard) anyway I have learned one thing Buzz Aldrin is not or never has been Jewish, so just goes to show some websites are full of deceit.
I also thought sincerely that Oswald was Jewish , due to material I had read , two things that could color ones perception of events.
