During the Apollo 11 flight to the moon Buzz Aldrin claimed that he and Niel Armstrong had seen a strange UFO alongside their capsule.
It appears to me that for some time, perhaps since the 70's, Buzz has been making this claim that they had seen a UFO that they could not explain, but only recently in 2007 is he now saying that they were 99.9% sure it was just a panel from their own equipment. Am I right in this assumption?

I didn't hear about Buzz Aldrin's 2007 retraction, but it seems logical. After all, a UFO would have come from some planet other than Earth. The significance of this fact is that the alleged "UFO" was following the same trajectory and speed as the Apollo spacecraft. A object from a planet other than Earth should have been following a different trajectory (since it was coming from a different direction) than the Apollo spacecraft, and would have been traveling at a different speed, since it would have come from another star that would be much father away than the Earth was from the moon. So the object Buzz saw must have been part of the Apollo spacecraft.

yes, but other craft reported the same sightings. It could be mind tricks from thoose particle that cause brain damage that penetrate the hull. But it was not a panel. Panels dont glow and change from two discks surrounded in an aura to a L. NASA told all apollo astromen to keep their traps shut about it though. So he was lying. It was a UFO because the S4B had been 6,000 miles away.

There was a suggestion in the 80's that Aldrin had also claimed to have seen something en-route to the moon. The object he'd seen was probably part of the ApolloXI craft either one of the earlier stages or a piece of debris.
