nbt,
you are aware that the Apollo debrief transcripts were classified for some time, aren't you? The military classifies things for reasons of capabilities and limitations. They don't want capabilities, or lack thereof, known to potential enemies for technological or political exploitation.
There was some confusion that night. This was the thick of the cold war. Things were classified quickly in those days.

There may have been a "ufo" out there that night. Intelligent extraterrestrials? ...unconfirmed.
