Coincidentally, Aldrin appeared in a documentary on the UK's Channel 5 last night, both describing the UFO incident and showing the felt-tip pen with which he held the broken circuit-breaker closed.
Seems, during that translunar trajectory, they saw something they couldn't identify. The description sounded like something tumbling in sunlight: it changed from appearing elliptical to L-shaped and back. So a UFO in the strict sense, not in the sense of a flying saucer with running lights and little men in silver suits. Grant Hutchison

There is some discussion of the UFO in the crew de-brief, including the reasonable speculation that it was something that came off the vehicle, a piece of the LM foil covering, perhaps.

The best explaination for what they saw was that it was one of the panels that connected the Saturn IV with the Apollo SM. After TLI they would blow the bolts on these panels to separate the stack and the booster, then turn the CSM to remove the LM. Unlike early versions, on the actual missions the panels completely seperated from the Booster and so floated along behind the CSM/LM Stack in a similar orbit while the booster performs a further burn after the LM extraction. It also explains the change in shape because it would have been a long trapizium curved panel so as it rotated in the sunlight it would have appeared to be different shapes.
