Footage NASA never wanted you to see (video link)

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.

Are you saying Communist officials would accept bribes from U.S. contractors? I thought Marx & Lenin said they'd be bastions of morality, with nothing but their nation's interest in mind.

LOL :-)

All this video is missing are loud, pointless endorsements. So here's mine:

LanPB01 says, "It's the feel good comedy of the year!"

[Age of Reason]

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.

Yes--but don't you see--that's the motive: They want you to think they spent that money on moon research.

[LanPB01]

"If you see only one grainy image this year implying the moon landing was fake - make it this one!"

How do we know you're not one of . . . them?

Busted. A man in black will be by your house in a few minutes...

Faked hardware construction? I wouldn't be surprised if it was quite real. I also wouldn't be surprised if it was actually sent out there (a la Capricorn One). Whether or not there were inhabitants onboard, however, is not something of which I'm totally convinced.

As for communication signals' origination... I'm no expert in that realm. Could they have been sent from Earth and reflected back by the hardware that presumably arrived, in undetected ways?

As for large casts of studio staffers required to make a hit movie, Blair Witch Project cost somewhere around $50K. At times it showed, and admittedly back then technology wasn't nearly as user-friendly. However, the movie Wag the Dog comes to mind...

My work force was cut in half that day as I stayed home to watch...

The Dukakis Mondale McGovern Dean Presidential canidacies are the true hoaxes of our modern age.

Klintoon was an unfortunate accident caused by white female voters at the cost of 3,000 plus innocent civilain American dead on 9/11 and 400 + soldiers since.

its a fake. Is this post a DUmie troll?

Should there be a zot?

[Analyzing Inconsistencies]

I'm not committed one way or the other, but would it have been possible to make Buzz Aldrin and the (nowadays habitually silent) Neil Armstrong THINK they traveled to the Moon even if they didn't? Could the contractors have been lead to think that they were operating machinery carrying humans much farther than we've been in over 30 years since that era? Could the Lunar rocks have arrived here like meteorites do? Notice how hard they are to obtain? Just last month some folks were imprisoned for dabbling with them.

Uh, no. There is no technology that creates sustained low gravity on Earth.

[The_Victor]

My purpose was not to propose how difficult the hoax would be, but to point out the number of people who would have to be in on it, and then stay silent about it for 30 years (up to now). I will reiterate..., our government is not that competent.

This is a very funny thread.

Gimme a break! I posted this in the Humor section. It's hilarious.

[Dog Gone]

It is simply amazing how many Freepers cannot recognize satire, even when it is clearly admitted as such.

[U S Army EOD]

No, if it was a fake, then the landing would not have been as screwed up as it was, and it was screwed up for those of us in the know.

Buz would have said the right words he was supposed to say instead of screwing up his speech, which he did.

My conclusion, is the hoax is a hoax.

However, when you view the "actual" films of the attack on Pearl Harbor that were shown to the American public during WWII, they were in most parts fake. Much of the released film were re-enactments. Sad but true.

The main difference between them is that the Pearl Harbor films were shown during a democratic administration and the moon landing was during a Republican administration. Lets face it folks, the democrats can't help but lie to the public.

For example, "I did not have sex with that woman, etc".

If the folks who knew how to make such a hypothetical technology let it become known, plenty of government bureaucrats and contractors would be out of billions that they still get for sending folks on the Space Shuttle. NASA's budget's over $15 billion annually. If human spaceflight ended, many think NASA's science budget would be substantially depleted because voters and taxpayers would care far less about space. So there does appear to be an economic incentive to keep certain technologies hush hush. Or maybe Neil's so quiet for a reason. In other countries, folks who can be blackmailed are allowed to get ahead because the blackmailing serves as their leash...

[mikegi]

This is a very funny thread.

Almost as funny as the video clip. I guess I'm getting dumber as I get older.,I never realized that the post would actually start a discussion about the moon landing being faked. I just thought people would get a laugh out of it, I certainly did. It's a well made clip.

[Analyzing Inconsistencies]

I should add that "microgravity research" is still considered to be a major justification for sending humans into space despite how NASA does it nearly 30 times more expensively than the Russians do, and with a far less impressive safety record too. If zero gravity's obtainable here on Earth, you can imagine how certain vested interests would be substantially threatened.

[TalBlack]

This just goes to show you how great an achivement the moon landing was/is. Now that it is thirty years in the past people find it hard to believe it really happened.

Possibly it also shows how we're shrinking as a great nation--I mean, who disbelieved the landing back in '69?
