Footage NASA never wanted you to see (video link)
moontruth.com ^ | July 20, 1969 | Moontruth

If you're at this page because you've just seen an amazing piece of footage showing the Apollo 11 moonlanding to have been shot in a studio, then read on. If you haven't seen the clip, click the link below, and prepare to be amazed.

At 4:17 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time, on July 20, 1969 Neil Armstrong was seen on television by millions of people around the world apparently walking on the surface of the moon, and making one giant leap into the pages of history. BUT DID HE? Conspiracy theories abound on the Internet.

The piece of footage you just saw answers the question - but raises a lot of others. We don't know the answers to all these questions - but here is what we do know:

1) Is it real? Yes. This footage was clearly shot in a studio, and is clearly meant to represent the Apollo 11 moon landing. The attention to detail is staggering. The intention is clearly to fool viewers into believing that it is genuine.

2) Is it conclusive? No. There is no proof that because this was shot in a studio, the moon landing was necessarily faked. But we do know that the original non-digital footage was destroyed and that certain (dangerous) people are very angry that this clip has leaked.

3) How did we get it? We did not get it directly from a NASA source. Our source is well placed to vouch for the authenticity of the footage and had links with the makers of 2 recent documentaries, one for the BBC and one for CNN about the moonlanding conspiracies. We cannot possibly reveal his identity, and probably never will be able to. His position is more dangerous than you might imagine.

4) Why haven't I seen it before? The footage has been buried for over 30 years. All the original stock, except this cut, was destroyed. We have had it for over 2 years and in that time have (anonymously) approached almost every large TV network owner to sell the rights. Without exception they were interested and offered to buy it. At one point they were also Then, also without exception they changed their minds and started to try to find out who we were. At that point we stopped dealing with them. It was scary as hell.

5) How, when and where was it made? It was made in 1965, judging by the camera it was shot on - an Ikegami Tube Camera. We have evidence that the footage was shot outside the US - possibly in Europe, by a foreign crew.

6) Who is inside the suit? Not one of the original astronauts. In fact, they are totally unaware that this footage was ever shot. The guy in the suit is an actor called Symond Lewis.

7) Why is it on the Internet and not on TV? See point 4

8) What is NASA's reaction to this footage? They have refused to comment. But we have recently heard that they are stepping up efforts on a huge PR campaign to convince us all that the Apollo moonlandings all took place.

or they got hold of a some moon landing movie outtake. How many movies have been shot about the moon landing? I bet the tom hanks series have a few choice out takes.

We weren't the only ones tracking the space craft to the moon. If it was faked the Russians would have made a big stink. You can be sure that the whole trip was monitored by the USSR from start to finish.

Not that I buy into the lunar conspiracy theory, but why would that many NASA civil servants and contractors need to know if that or any other mission was being faked? Couldn't they be duped even more easily than ordinary folks? If they were alert and competent, they'd not need as many career protections which still make it so hard for the government to bring in competent people.

Just consider the implications for secrecy in faking the moon landing. Hundreds if not thousands of NASA civil servants and contractors would have to knowing perpetrate this fraud upon the public.

Providing the existence of those thousands was not also faked.

>>>If it was faked the Russians would have made a big stink.<<<

The Russians never landed humans onto the Moon, and I don't know how they could have known whether or not whatever we sent out there had actual humans in it or not. Even today the international scientific community is still debating about lunar details such as whether there's much ice on or near the surface.

That's right. And what about the millions who watched one moon landing or another on TV or watched the lunar ascent the last couple of flights. All faked. The most trusted Walter Cronkite was faked. Richard C Hoagland was faked. Even my TV and the cat sleeping on top of it were faked.

Anybody who has seen our record high $6.9 trillion dollar national debt is unlikely to dispute the existence of bureaucrats, contractors and parasitic government job programs. The Cold War was good for a lot of people who otherwise couldn't earn much of a living.

Not any longer. They just looked at the soil in the shadows of various crators that never see light.

No ice; no water, end of hope on this issue, alas.

Thanks!

My father seemed real to me... I guess I should have known it was all a government hoax.

They looked using an Earth-based telescope located in (I think) Arecibo, Puerto Rico (heavily funded by the National Science Foundation, NOT NASA...). Humanity didn't have that much capability 30 years ago. Lunar buffs still contend that plenty of ice is nevertheless mixed with the Lunar "soil" even if frozen lakes haven't been found on the suface.

Easy explanation:

Somebody persuaded the Russian leaders to remain quiet.

As I recall, the Russian space program seemed to lose speed a couple of years before we "landed" on the moon.

Perhaps that's when they were convinced to let us appear to "win" the race.

Imagine the number of people on a typical movie set. Then the scientists and engineers eployed to insure authenticity, the communications officials knowing the transmissions were not originating from the moon, the faked hardware construction, etc, ect. It doesn't take long to get to a cast of hundreds.

Yes, and I suppose the thousands of people that made the moon landing possible were fake too. And all the science and engineering projects were fake. The engineers were fake. The shuttle, orbiter, and lander were fake. Buzz Aldrin, Armstrong, and the other 8 astronauts who have been on the moon were fake. The return vehicle was fake. The moon rocks that have a mineral composition that can only be found on the moon are fake as well.
