- NASA claims they found the Apollo 11 lost tape. But what
did they find and just what is it? The evidence I've accumulated
on Apollo footage since December 2007 appears to show otherwise. In my
2007 essay http://www.rense.com/general79/rehar.htm there are men in military
uniforms were helping NASA during a rehearsal. But as we shall see, the
recent release of a lost videotape by NASA proves this exact same rehearsal
footage is being claimed as real by NASA.
-
- To make matters worse, NASA's claim is further shot down
by the tapes found at a closed McDonalds at Moffet air field.
-
- I covered the Moffet Field discovery almost a year ago
in another essay at http://www.data4science.net/essays.php?EssayID=848

- Fig. 1 Closed McDonalds at Moffet Air Field
with cache of Apollo videotapes
-
-
- About 48,000 lbs of tapes were found in the abandoned
McDonalds. No one seems to know how they got there, in what seems like
a page torn from an X-Files script.
-
-
-
-
-
- Fig. 2 Close-up of a videotape can apparently
still sealed from 1969. Height of tape appears correct for wide professional
videotape commonly used in 1969.
-
-
- But what you see above is not the lost tapes NASA claims
to have found in June 2009. And it gets worse.

- Fig. 3 Freeze frame of the first step on
the Moon from the recently discovered videotape.
-
-
- So what's wrong with this picture?
- 1. Yellow circle at top appears to shows a downwash from
at least one light source, perhaps used as a fill light.
- 2. Green arrow shows edge of stage
- 3. Red arrow indicates what appears to be a shadow from
the raised stage. (This may not be visible after image was converted to
JPEG for posting in the article.)
- 4. Blue circle shows a length of regular ladder attached
to the Lunar Lander leg. This was not part of the Lunar Lander design.
- 5. Yellow arrow highlights a shadow going off in a very
different direction that the other shadows seen in the image.
-
-
-
-
- Fig. 4 Freeze frame taken from recently
discovered videotape. On reasonably flat, level ground like that shown
here all shadows should be parallel to one another since our Sun
would be the only light source 93 million miles away.

-
-
-
-
- Fig. 5 Vector lines show the location of
at least one artificial light source off-camera. In theatrical parlance,
this is known as "Stage-right" from the actor's perspective.
It is also known as "House-left" from an audience seat in a theater.
-
-
- Compare the shadows in this image with shadows in Fig.
4. Ray tracing using vectors shows that the light source must be just off-camera
to produce these shadow angles. Of particular interest here are the shadows
produced by both astronauts, which show different angles relative to the
Lunar Lander shadows.
-
- At the top of the image we see what appears to be a
wash of light coming down from another overhead light source. The top of
the Lunar Lander itself in this image is washed out for unknown reasons,
even though it is painted white. This might be caused by a light source
close to the stage floor.
-

-
-
- Fig. 6 Is mission control unknowingly watching
a rehearsal when the first steps on the Moon were taken?
-
- Note in Fig. 6 above, it appears there is a light source
directly overhead at the landing site. Yet we can see horizontal shadows
in the image.
-
-
-
-
- Fig. 7 Rehearsal video freeze frame clip
(from my previous essay) compared to LIVE FROM SPACE video clip.
-
- The left image shows a man in the lower left corner ducking
into the scene after the astronaut botched the "One small step for
man" speech (blue arrow.) However, the LIVE FROM SPACE insert shown
here on the right shows a DIFFERENT ladder. Orange arrow shows length of
extension ladder. White arrow in the "Live from space" insert
shows the edge of the elevated stage. White arrow in left image indicates
horizontal blanking bar, which can occur when a still or video camera is
used to obtain images from a television monitor.

-
- Fig. 8 Complete video clip used in Fig.
7 from an old NASA
videotape of the first steps on the Moon.
-
-
- There are so many errors in all these images it's difficult
to believe that all these photos were taken on the Moon.
-
- To clarify, I know for a fact what happened on the day
Apollo 11 landed on the Moon. I have detailed this in another article.
We did go to the Moon that day, but the world was not permitted to see
what happened because of disk objects buzzing the landing site. This was
witnessed by a close friend who was actually at mission control in a support
role.
-
- The bottom line here is that the ladder in the rehearsal
videotape and the ladder in the recently released Apollo 11 video tape
are the same. Yet the ladder in Fig. 8 is quite different, and does not
show the added extension ladder like section.
