It has long been rumored that the Apollo 11 astronauts saw a UFO during the first manned landing on the moon in July 1969. And while Buzz Aldrin still insists that the light he saw was a mere glare of the sun from the panels of the rocket that put them into orbit, and the objects that Armstrong allegedly observed were called "space debris" by NASA, which recently appeared in The media document proves that the first person to walk on the moon was interested in UFOs.
Neil Armstrong, who died in 2012, has never publicly demonstrated his interest in UFOs. However, the first published letter, written by Professor J. Allen Hyneck, a US Air Force consultant on the UFO problem, turned out to be a “smoking gun,” indicating that Armstrong was not at all indifferent to aliens.
The letter, dated June 15, 1973, addressed to Jenny Zeidman, who worked with Professor Hynek at Wright Patterson Air Force Base, was discovered by Irene Scott, a former DIA employee and now a field researcher and member of the MUFON Board of Directors.
The handwritten message states that in 1973, on a cruise from New York to the west coast of Africa, a top UFO connoisseur was personally invited to join Armstrong and his family at their table.
The professor wrote in a letter: “Dear Jenny. We are sailing in a week … The cruise director called me and asked if the Heinecks would mind if the Armstrongs invited them to their table! Tell Barry I can get an autograph for him! Did I tell you that I was leaving?"
Hynek was referring to the upcoming world famous two-week cruise, during which more than two thousand famous artists, writers, actors, architects and scientists observed one of the longest total solar eclipses of our time, while Hynek and Armstrong lectured on space and astronomy.
“Armstrong could invite any real celebrity to his table,” Irena Scott said. “Therefore, if the Armstrongs and the Hyneckies spent so much time together, the question arises, did they discuss UFOs?”
For Dr. Scott, this letter is historic because it confirms that Armstrong was indeed interested in UFOs. In addition, she also discovered that Armstrong was communicating with another UFO researcher named Leonard Stringfield.

“Stringfield knew of more than 50 government-related informers who had released information about UFOs,” added Irena. "But he remained silent, because he understood that if he did not protect his informants, he would not receive any additional information from them or anyone else."
So what does this letter prove? It seems that Armstrong and Hynek had agreed in advance to be together on the ship, and this could well be the reason that Armstrong had something to discuss privately. And the strongest proof is that after the cruise Armstrong and Hynek communicated for a long time.
