| him and a few other UFO Researchers. As long | | | | about what happened during the Apollo 11 |
| as you didn't ask him anything out of the | | | | Mission. Described as a deeply private and |
| ordinary, he had some terrific prepared | | | | honest man, Armstrong has been virtually |

| stumbled. That's what happened on Your World | | | | few interviews almost immediately after the |
| with Neil Cavuto today around 1:30pm Arizona | | | | mission. The question that has always |
| Time. | | | | bothered me is why? |

| It's a UFO!' Instead, we said, 'It's unusual | | | | Armstrong's overall lack of enthusiasm for |
