UFO Files: All of the videos from latest Defense Department release

Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin , the second person to walk on the moon , described three strange sightings during his mission, according to recently released Defense Department UFO files.

Aldrin reported observing a “sizeable dimension” object near the moon, “little flashes” inside the cabin, and a “fairly bright light source” he tentatively ascribed to a possible laser.

The Defense Department released the FBI’s case file on UFOs and flying discs, documenting reports between 1947 and 1968.

The file includes numerous reports from individuals claiming knowledge about UFOs or extraterrestrials.

Among the reports are a woman claiming to have information on 'beings from outer space' and inquiries about a “captured saucer occupant.”
