Comments by "jim oberg" (@jimoberg3326) on "CONTACT LIGHT: The Story of Apollo 11" video.

And when Widget is finished with you, I'll tag-team in, and explain why all the fables about UFO encounters on the moon are also fairy tales aimed at credulous nincompoops.

@widget3672 -- Here's my UFO debunking, for your own arsenal of truth-arrows.... During the moonwalk one of the astronauts DID say [it's on the transcripts]: "“I did see a suspiciously-small white object. It's right on the southwest rim of a crater”. That comment was widely heard and in some circles was excitedly embellished with each retelling over the years. Sadly for alien buffs, what it turned out to be was prosaic -- but tracking it down and following its evolution in popular culture over subsequent decades is illuminating and entertaining. See http://www.jamesoberg.com/apollo-11-white-spot-150415.pdf And here’s what they spotted out the window on the way out to the moon, the same thing many subsequent moonbound crews also saw. http://www.jamesoberg.com/apollo-11-ufo-3.pdf
