I've heard that during some missions Apollo astronauts had seen Unidentified Flying Objects. Is it possible that NASA and US government had deleted those events from official documents ? Any idea of sources on the net ?

Yes, there were sightings by astronauts of UFO's, and this was widely reported at the time. UFO is technically just an Unidentified Flying Object, and although many of the objects were explained later, some are still open to conjecture. If your question is more accurately stated, "Is there any evidence that Apollo astronauts have seen a spacecraft piloted by intelligent extraterrestrial beings?" then I would say that the answer is almost certainly negative. Too many people were involved, and the program too open to the media to make the supposition that there was a coverup of such a significant event credible. This is in addition to the unlikeliness that an extraterrestrial culture might have visited our planet at all. Although such a visit might be considered likely because of the immense number of star systems in the universe, the chance that an alien culture with the technical capability would bridge the vast distances of interstellar space and actually interact is very small indeed. For one thing, it would be very difficult to find us. Stumbling upon us by pure chance seems very unlikely for the very reason of that vast number of systems and in the relatively short time we have been sending out electromagnetic signals even capable of reaching another system, we're talking about only a reach of about 50 light years. Even if the signals were strong enough to be detected, the other culture would have to be looking for them. For example, we could be right in the middle of intergalactic communication central and not have a clue because we don't use their advanced systems which might not be based on electromagnetic radiation. Next, the culture would need to have the desire and technological capability to respond. Just because we are fascinated with more primitive cultures and life doesn't mean every nonhuman culture would be. Of course it still is possible, but it seems far more likely that the reports of such encounters are either unusual psychological responses or as yet undetermined natural phenomena. This is true especially since all of the passionate interest in the subject has really failed to produce any irrefutable scientifically sound evidence, although there are still some things which remain unexplained.

Hmm, It kind of makes one wonder what they may have seen in empty void of space, where no one can hear you screem. Who knows? Maybe they might have seen what looked like a small meteor or maybe even a wrench zipping down to earth, that could have been really an alien scout from the galaxy Andromeda. Who knows really? Is there life outside our little concrete world? I believe there may be. I wish to someday meet with something out of this world. But I wont be disapointed if there isn't anything out there. I'll just look harder. I'm sure they did not see a UOF but it doesnt mean they aren't out there. *Plays creepy music*

Evidence????WHAT??..how friggin shallow...these men and women that venture into space train most of their lives for that brief moment of glory..thats it..any maniac can go into space just call NASA..they even will accept you!!!...no one here deserves proof...that is something that must be earned...most here have a long way to go and are in for a shock of their life ..when the truth of extraterrestrials is finally revealed to the world...have fun!!

Not only do I believe that our government has been covering up evidence of U.F.O's, I'm ENTIRELY CONVINCED that our government did infact cover up any evidence of U.F.O.'S. And they are still doing so to this day. It's just my own opinion, you don't have to believe it if you don't want to.

I dunno. These guys didn't need the extra publicity, unlike most of the Earth-bound UFO "witnesses."
