Ed Mitchell & Buzz Aldrin would seemingly invalidate your hypothesis...

" Edwin Aldrin recently came out on in a special on the Science Channel and stated that the astronauts aboard Apollo 11 all saw unidentified objects which seemed to have been following them. He also mentions that they were briefed not to talk about what they had seen. What does NASA have to say in response to this? What were those objects they all saw? I just talked to Buzz Aldrin on the phone, and he notes that the quotations were taken out of context and did not convey the intended meaning. After the Apollo 11 crew verified that the object they were seeing was not the SIVB upper stage, which was about 6000 miles away at that time, they concluded that they were probably seeing one of the panels from the separation of the spacecraft from the upper stage. These panels were not tracked from Earth and were likely much closer to the Apollo spacecraft. They chose not to discuss this on the open communications channel since they were concerned that their comments might be misinterpreted (as they are being now). Apparently all of this discussion about the panels was cut from the broadcast interview, thus giving the impression that they had seen a UFO. David Morrison NAI Senior Scientist July 26, 2006 "

It looks like the main people trying to create a "cover up" is the media, who have a $$$ interest in maintaing the idea of alien UFOs.

Unrelated, but Buzz Aldrin is one badass old man:

Why would you get into the face of a Korean war Jet fighter pilot who is still on his feet--especially when you're a wimpy Mcwhimple?

"btw, it's nice how you use projects which are widely known as evidence that the government can and does cover things up. nobody is claiming that the government doesn't or shouldn't have secret projects for certain activities. But the UFOlogists claiming the US gov't has been successfully covering up alien visitation for 60 years now is patently absurd"

If they're so successful at covering up a project he obviously can't use it ITT to support his point of view.
