Maurice Chatelain: A Former NASA Executive on Armstrong’s UFO Sighting

Introduction:In 1979, Maurice Chatelain, former head of NASA communications systems, publicly confirmed that Armstrong had reported seeing two unidentified flying objects at the rim of a crater on the Moon. Chatelain believed that some UFOs might come from Titan, inside our own solar system, and he revealed that during the Apollo and Gemini missions astronauts repeatedly encountered extraterrestrial craft but were ordered to keep silent.

In 1979, Maurice Chatelain (Maurice Chatelain), former head of communications systems at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two unidentified flying objects on the rim of a crater. Chatelain believed that some unidentified flying objects might come from our own solar system, specifically Titan. “This encounter was common knowledge inside NASA, but until now nobody has talked about it.” “…On all the Apollo and Gemini flights, whether at a distance or sometimes very close, spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin—flying saucers, or UFOs, if you prefer to call them that—were tracking them. Every time this happened, the astronauts notified Mission Control, and Mission Control then ordered absolute silence.” “I believe Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first astronaut to use the code name ‘Santa Claus’ to indicate that a flying saucer was beside the capsule. His statement, however, drew almost no public attention. It was a little different when James Lovell, on the Apollo 8 command module, came out from the far side of the Moon and let everyone hear him say: ‘Please be informed, there really is a Santa Claus.’ Even though this happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people still sensed a hidden meaning in those words.” The rumors have never stopped. NASA may be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded by the defense budget, and most of the astronauts are bound by military security regulations. In addition, the National Security Agency reviews all the films, and possibly the radio communications as well. We have statements from Otto Binder, Dr. Garry Henderson, and Maurice Chatelain that the astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their sightings. Gordon Cooper testified before a United Nations committee that one of the astronauts had in fact seen a UFO on the ground. If there were no secrecy requirement, why was this sighting never made public?

In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. Chatelain believes that some UFOs may come from our own solar system, specifically Titan. “The encounter was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody has talked about it until now.” “…all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin – flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence.” “I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code name ‘Santa Claus’ to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by the general public. It was a little different when James Lovell on board the Apollo 8 command module came out from behind the moon and said for everybody to hear: ‘PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.’ Even though this happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden meaning in those words.” The rumors persist. NASA may well be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded by the defence budget and most of the astronauts are subject to military security regulations. Apart from the fact that the National Security Agency screens all films and probably radio communications as well. We have the statements by Otto Binder, Dr. Garry Henderson and Maurice Chatelain that the astronauts were under strict orders not to discuss their sightings. And Gordon Cooper has testified to a United Nations committee that one of the astronauts actually witnessed a UFO on the ground. If there is no secrecy, why has this sighting not been made public?

Chatelain believed that some unidentified flying objects might come from our own solar system, especially Titan. “This encounter is common knowledge at NASA, but so far nobody has talked about it.” “ …On all the Apollo and Gemini flights, whether at long range or sometimes very close, there were spacecraft of extraterrestrial origin—flying saucers or unidentified flying objects, if you want to call them by that name. Each time it happened, the astronauts notified Mission Control, which then ordered absolute silence.” “I believe Walter Schirra (Walter Schirra) aboard Mercury 8 was the first astronaut to use the code name ’Santa Claus’ to show that a flying saucer was beside the capsule.

When James Lovell (James Lovell) boarded the Apollo 8 (Apollo 8) command module, it flew out from behind the Moon and let everyone hear: “Please be informed that this is Santa Claus.” Even though this happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people still sensed the implied meaning of these words.” The rumors persist. NASA may be a civilian agency, but many of its programs are funded by the defense budget, and most of the astronauts are bound by military security regulations. Besides the National Security Agency screening all the films, there are also radio and television programs.
