A long-standing mystery has arisen again in the light with a video going viral online that says Buzz Aldrin, an astronaut, confirmed the existence of aliens on the Moon. The video shows Aldrin supposedly whispering, "They told us to get off the Moon." The video has brought renewed long-held beliefs that missions by NASA's Apollo might have stumbled upon extraterrestrial beings—and were instructed to remain silent about it.
The Claim
The clip, commonly posted on conspiracy websites and UFO fan channels, indicates that Aldrin and fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong, while on the Apollo 11 mission in 1969, saw strange structures or creatures on the Moon's surface. The title "They told us to get off the Moon" has been assigned to Aldrin in some incarnations of the clip, though no major media house has established that the video is authentic.
Adherents of the theory maintain that the astronauts observed extraterrestrial spacecraft watching them from the edge of a crater. Versions of the theory go so far as to say that radio contacts were broken or encrypted for some portion of the mission in order to keep the event from becoming public.
What Did Buzz Aldrin Actually Say?
Buzz Aldrin, who is in his 90s and one of the few remaining crew members on Apollo 11, has never publicly endorsed such claims. In previous interviews, he has been supportive of further exploration of space and intrigued about intelligent life in the universe—but has never endorsed claims of direct alien contact during the Moon landing.
Indeed, Aldrin has gone on record to debunk a number of Moon landing hoaxes and has also been prominent in criticizing conspiracy theorists who argue that the actual landing was faked.
NASA's Position
NASA has refused to confirm any encounter with extraterrestrial life on any of its missions. The organization insists that all data from the Apollo missions are in the public domain and accessible to scientific review. There are no official reports, photographs, or transcripts to support the theory that astronauts met aliens on the Moon.
The Power of Viral Conspiracies
The renewed rounds of these claims reveal more about public interest in the unknown than they do about real space history. As deepfakes and AI content proliferate, it's simpler than ever to fake out videos and voices, distorting the boundaries between reality and fiction.
Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the Moon and the universe in general still excite human imagination. And with no concrete evidence, tales such as these—no matter how fanciful—have a tendency to linger.
Conclusion
Though the notion of aliens cautioning astronauts to
vacate the Moon constitutes a great journalistic headline, no evidence can be
verified to believe that Buzz Aldrin ever made the statement. Until authentic
sources or primary documents confirm such assertions, such things remain
speculation and an internet myth.
