Buzz Aldrin says there are no Aliens!, page 1

Mr Aldrin seems to be quite inconsistent of late and I worry if this is because perhaps his health is failing him or if his inconsistency in the media is due to more nefarious and cynical reasons in that someone from the shady service has warned him off?

It is a bit of a blow but in my opinion much of what he said was like much of what anyone else has ever said on the subject of UFO’s and extraterrestrials. Because he is a former astronaut he was listened to with much more intent due to such impeccable credentials but I for one saw no evidence just personal disclosures and this is not meant as insult to the man as I have deep respect for his ilk.

Suddenly for all that he is a denier and that tells me that perhaps there might have been some truth to the things he said in the past. I must refresh my memory but one thing he did mention recently was the Monolith of Phobos.

"...the moon of Mars. There's a monolith there - a very unusual structure on this little potato-shaped object that goes around Mars once in seven hours. When people find out about that they're going to say, 'Who put that there?' 'Who put that there?' Well, the universe put it there. If you choose, God put it there..."

Whatever his reasons I will not dare to disrespect a man who has achieved so much and done things I could never dream of doing in three lifetimes. Have the things he has said been all for nothing and all figments of a very active imagination or things said in the context of a science fiction writer?

I do not want to think he might have been paid for his future silence - I would want definite proof of such a thing before I would damn such a man with even a suggestion of such actions.

Personally I think he either got tired of being seen as a weirdo astronaut with an active imagination and has thus decided to try and rectify the damage to his perceived reputation.

Or perhaps more concerning, his threat assessment has climbed and he has been told in no uncertain terms to shut up in a way that had him worried for his safety. Whatever his reasons I will not join those who might attack him for this because there could be many justifiable reasons for him taking this new stance.

Should he stay true to the facts and the things he may know or should he wind in his neck and think of the safety of his nearest and dearest?

Still this man is what I would class as my own definition of a true american as seen by one none american, a great man who did some incredible things so no hard feelings from me
