I think the only way to make a good judgement on the issue is to not look at it in terms of black and white. Think outside the box, so to speak. Here I go.

Everyone says the moon landings were fake, because the pictures were obviously not authentic. Okay, but what about the stuff they brought from the moon? And how can you keep such a PUBLIC secret for so long? It defies logic.

What nobody has seemed to consider is this. We did really land on the moon, but perhaps the photographs were either shot on Earth and/or doctored in some way to produce the images that we see! Why would they do this? Because there might be something rather incriminating, such as the proof of extraterrestrial life!

There are a lot of things that support this theory. First of all, all of the Apollo missions, most publically Apollo 16, reported seeing some sort of strange light or object on or near the moon. That is one indication that we did go to the moon, because otherwise, there is no reason such a thing would happen or be reported. Also, there is evidence that NASA covered-up a lot of the actual video, photos, and audio records of the missions. Now why would NASA ever hide things of something that didn't happen?

In fact, ham radio operators who were able to tune into the NASA radio frequencies said that NASA had filtered it's communications during the Apollo 11 mission because Armstrong and Aldrin had seen alien ships and beings on the moon and had even taken footage of it. Another evidence showing we went to the moon but it got covered up.

There's my case. I sincerly believe we went to the moon, but all photographic, video, audio, and perhaps even the accounts of the missions were all heavily sanitized because there was something they did not want us to see. If we never went to the moon, there is no reason to ever cover up these things. Evidently, they made some mistakes, because we've seen footage from above the moon of these objects. It's been real.

How can we know that the mission logs were covered up?
We are guessing that they were covered up.

Anyway does it matter, we have set foot on the moon for sure. I don't know about Apollo 11, but definitely in other missions.

I really believe the landings were real because if it got out that they didn't really land on the moon it would be a disgrace for the U.S. especially in case of a competition with the Soviet Union.

A certain percentage of people in 1969 thought the moon landing was fake. Roughly the same percentage of people think it was still faked. As long as 95% of the world doesn't have their heads lodged up their *you know what*, it's all good.

I just wish that the US would go to the moon again. Heck, maybe China might spark a space-race again. That would be interesting.

Simply put - what you suggest would require the secrecy of hundreds if not thousands of people.

If Rosswell were to be taken as an example - just how many "leaks" have there been ?

Funny but where the Moon missions have been cited I have yet to read anything aside from armchair pundits - no one has come forward with credentials (real or otherwise) - as the like of Bob Lazar

Sometimes hunting a conspiracy in my view is self destructive - consider the hours spent rehashing and debunking this subject.

Fo those that have something significant to hide - Im sure they are killing themseleves laughing at the expense of energy spent on this subject.

Think this way - perhaps it could be proven catergorically that we did land there (as I believe we did) - now give proof. Ahh now we have hundreds of conspiracy hunters out of work looking for the next best thing ?.

Just a thought - but go ahead - carry on looking at this - Im sure they want you too.

were not going back, because they told us not to go back.

The moon landings were not faked.

The whole "moon landings are fake" hoax has been thoroughly debunked.

What nobody has seemed to consider is this. We did really land on the moon, but perhaps the photographs were either shot on Earth and/or doctored in some way to produce the images that we see! Why would they do this? Because there might be something rather incriminating, such as the proof of extraterrestrial life!

But you said "And how can you keep such a PUBLIC secret for so long? It defies logic."

If there's proof of extraterrestrial life, then they have hidden the "Secret" for so long right?

I challenge anyone to produce a "fake" moon photograph.

And did I say the moon landings were faked? No.

I said the photos were possibly faked.

then show me a fake photograph.

The "Secret" I was referring to was the moon landings having been faked. But thankfully, this is not fact.

You seem to be a bit confused with your own statement. What you first said was that the moon landings were not faked. I then said yes, the moon landings were not fake, they were real. Then you suddenly cut to the moon photographs deal, as if landing on the moon is photographs (doesn't make any sense).

What are you challenging? The fact that you thought me saying that the moon landings were real actually meant the moon landings were fake? Or the photos?

watching a program when i was a freshman in high school and it interviewed one of the people involved in one of the apolo missions.... he said him and his partner felt weird when they were on the moon so they took pictures back and forth of each other, over 100 pictures in total.... when they got back to earth the gov immediatly took the pictures away and after years of trying to get them back they recieved one picture back... the picture showed the one astronaught with a bright blue aura or something around him.....

if i ever find out the name of this program i will post it...

Out of curiosity sweatmonicaIdo, what makes you pretty sure that the photos showed something 'the government' didn't want us to see?

That sounds rather unlike open minded behaviour.

Actually, it is being open-minded. I don't know about you, but I would rather have the photos not have anything the government wants us to not see.

But I do think there were some things. First of all, several thousands photographs were taken during the Apollo missions. You could search the entire Internet and every library and find perhaps just about a quarter of that amount. Second, you have to consider those incidents where astronauts saw lights or objects near or on the moon. You have to assume that if they could see them from space, it's possible they could've seen them from the surface of the moon. Finally, the fact that we simply don't know everything that went on during those missions and that most of us don't know anything about space exploration means that we have to consider there are things out there.

I'd say it'd be pretty naive to assume it's all good, even though we all wish it to be.

Interesting. Do you remember the names of those two astronauts?

Why would we need to fake a landing on the moon in the first place?
