Klimmer's "these babies are huge" Neil Armstrong story is a great example of what is "wrong" with his thinking. Neil Armstrong never said any of that. Someone made it up, it got repeated a zillion times and now poor Klimmer is convinced it is the truth. Like all fabrications, there are multiple versions of the story. In some, Neil said this in an interview at the White House, in others is was a NASA symposium, in others it was in an interview with a "prominent senior astrophysicists", in others it was captured by ham radio operators evesdropping on Apollo 11. I guess Klimmer can respond by saying "Of course, Neil Armstrong said this a bunch of times!"

I'm not to sure of this as i dont have the book to
hand (Above Top Secret), but wasn't there a report that the crew
of the eagle (Armstrong et al), when they left the module,
turned round and found themselves looking at alien craft at the
top of a crater?

Alien Moon Base
by UFO Joe, InfoNet
Is there an "Alien Base" on the Moon. More and more people
are coming forward with stories of an Alien presence on the
Moon. Rumors are that their "Moon Base" is on the dark side
of the moon, the side we never see from Earth.
Did you ever wonder why the Moon landings stopped and why
have we not tried to build a Moon Base. It seems a better and
easier idea than a floating space station?
According to Neil Armstrong the Aliens have a base on the
Moon and wanted us to get off and stay off the Moon! Milton
Cooper a Naval Intellegence Officer tell us that the
Intellegence community calls the Alien Base "Luna":
LUNA: The Alien base on the far side of the Moon. It
was seen and filmed by the Apollo Astronauts. A base, a mining
operation using very large machines, and the very large alien
craft described in sighting reports as MOTHER SHIPS exist there.

Did Apollo 11 Encounter UFOs on the Moon?
from the Book "Above Top Secret" by Timothy Good
According to hitherto unconfirmed reports, both Neil
Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that
historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I
remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in
or on a crater during the television transmission, followed by
a request from mission control for further information. Nothing
more was heard.
According to a former NASA employee Otto Binder, unnamed
radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed
NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange:
NASA: Whats there?
Mission Control calling Apollo 11...
Apollo11: These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous!
OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it!
I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there,
Lined up on the far side of the crater edge!
They're on the Moon watching us!
In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, former chief of NASA
Communications Systems confirmed that Armstrong had indeed
reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. "The encounter
was common knowledge in NASA," he revealed, "but nobody has
talked about it until now."
Soviet scientists were allegedly the first to confirm
the incident. "According to our information, the encounter
was reported immediately after the landing of the module," said
Dr. Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of
Mathematics at Moscow University. "Neil Armstrong relayed the
message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects
were watching them after having landed near the moon module.
But his message was never heard by the public - because NASA
censored it. "According to another Soviet scientist, Dr.
Aleksandr Kazantsev, Buss Aldrin took color movie film of the
UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after
he and Armstrong went outside. Dr. Azhazha claims that the
UFOs departed minutes after the astronauts came out on to the
lunar surface.
Maurice Chatelain also confirmed that Apollo 11's
radio transmissions were interrupted on several occasions in
order to hide the news from the public. Before dismissing
Chatelain's sensational claims, it is worth noting his
impressive background in the aerospace industry and space
program. His first job after moving from France was as an
electronics engineer with Convair, specializing in
telecommunications, telemetry and radar. In 1959 he was in
charge of an electromagnetic research group, developing new
radar and telecommunications systems for Ryan. One of his
eleven patents was an automatic radar landing system that
ignited retro rockets at a given altitude, used in the
Ranger and Surveyor flights to the Moon. Later, at North
American Aviation, Chatelain was offered the job of designing
and building the Apollo communications and data-processing
systems.
Chatelain claims that "all Apollo and Gemini flights
were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite
closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying
saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name.
Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission
Control, who then ordered absolute silence." He goes on to
say:
"I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the
first of the astronauts to use the code name 'Santa Claus'
to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space
capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by the
general public. It was a little different when James Lovell
on board the Apollo 8 command module came out from behind the
moon and said for everybody to hear: 'PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT
THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.' Even though this happened on
Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden meaning in those
words."
Rumors persist. NASA may well be a civilian agency, but
many of its programs are funded by the defence budget and most
of the astronauts are subject to military security regulations.
Apart from the fact that the National Security Agency screens
all films and probably radio communications as well. We have the
statements by Otto Binder, Dr. Garry Henderson and Maurice
Chatelain that the astronauts were under strict orders not to
discuss their sightings. And Gordon Cooper has testified to a
United Nations committee that one of the astronauts actually
witnessed a UFO on the ground. If there is no secrecy, why has
this sighting not been made public?
A certain professor, who wished to remain anonymous, was
engaged in a discussion with Neil Armstrong during a NASA
symposium.
Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?
Armstrong: It was incredible, of course we had always
known there was a possibility, the fact is,
we were warned off!(by the Aliens). There was
never any question then of a space station or a
moon city.
Professor: How do you mean "warned off"?
Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that
their ships were far superior to ours both in
size and technology - Boy, were they
big!...and menacing!
No, there is no question of a space station.
Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?
Armstrong: Naturally - NASA was committed at that time,
and couldn't risk panic on Earth. But it really
was a quick scoop and back again.
Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but refused to
go into further detail, beyond admitting that the CIA was behind
the cover-up.
