Apollo Moon Landing Hoax - Video Evidence
The most consistently seen argument of moon hoax believers, is why, in a land with no air, the American flag stands up and waves, instead of falling down to the ground? And yes, if you look closely at the moon flag video clip, (Realtime player required.) it does appear as if Neil is fighting with the USA flag. But, if you look even closer, you can see that the flag is only flapping when Neil is holding it, and trying to twist the flag into the ground. (You can’t see this that well because of convenient editing.). Because of this the flag waving can be accounted for by Neil twisting the pole.
But the conspiracists also say that there are at least one photo, where the flag is flapping and the astronauts are no where near the flag. The explanation for this is simple. NASA’s flag was on an antenna, connected to the pole which pulled out like a radio receiver. At Apollo 11, the antenna wouldn’t pull out all of the way, causing a ripple which looks like a waving flag if taken through a camera. On later missions the flag wasn’t pulled out all of the way because it looked better.
But the most publicly advertised hoax conspiracy is the Coke can hoax. A woman called Una Ronald was said to have spotted a Coke can bounce along the floor. Left there are some frames of the video. The supposed “Coke bottle” is shown highlighted.
Even though it doesn’t look much like a Coke can - as it can be barely seen on still photos - it is still something. And that something is light. In this clip Neil is demonstrating the bunny hop (a kind of walk) and he’s moving from left to right. What is happening, is the light from the sun, is reflecting from Neil’s visor and showing up on the camera. The visor and the Coke can is shown with purple dots and connected with a yellow line, the middle of the screen is marked out in the blue lines.
If you see the yellow line crosses the center in every picture. This anomaly is called a catadioptrism, or ghosting and you can see several cases of this in the Original Apollo Moon Landing Film.
If you look at the film closely, another example of ghosting is shown, as half of the time there are three astronauts running around on the moon. Also the ‘Coke can’ appears twice in different places, and it doesn’t make sense that there was two Coke cans on the moon, both slipping detection. Also if you freeze the frames with the Coke in shot, you can see that the can is bent in different places at different times!
But many people will argue, that the reason why you couldn’t see the Coke sign and the can is bent, is because the video is too low a quality. Which in itself is a conspiracy.
The theory is, the video was low quality on purpose, to stop critical analysis, but there is a another, more reasonable reason. The first plans for TV broadcast, was a giant satellite dish set up on the moon by the astronauts. NASA wanted to record the first step on the moon, but the dish would take to long to set up, in the short amount of time they had, so the small transmission satellite dish on the moon lander was used resulting in lower quality images.
This section was supposed to be much larger, but I couldn’t find much original footage that hadn’t been tampered with. (i.e. convenient editing) or the full film. So I can’t explain all of the video arguments the conspiracists have presented in full.

Well if you didn’t believe it was a big government conspiracy before watching the video below, you will afterwards. It’s very funny

How could it be a coke can? Didnt coke only come in glass bottles back then?

I have recently watched a video and i have seen the two of them dancing and if they were dancing how could they of recorded?

we did NOT land on the moon. so yeahh kay bye :]

like what is the moon? i thought it was cheese!!!!

hey francis redman…if you were smart you would have remembered three of them landed not just two…

mat, your a genius! They must have sent the Astronaut down that was supposedly in the command module in orbit waiting for them to return! That explains how they filmed themselves so well… (NASA’s official explanation is that they used a tripod for the shots showing two astronauts at once with a technician at mission control on earth operating radio controls) One second of radio signal delay isn’t too bad when shooting astronauts jumping around on the moon, the image the controls are working off of is 1 second old by the time the controler sees it, and the control movements he implements are 2 seconds delayed to see the Results. Thats 3 seconds of radio delay to contend with. 3 seconds of signal delay would make it impossible however to track the landers launch back into lunar orbit using a radio controled camera mount. explain how they were able to tilt the camera up and then pan over to follow the lander as it launched off of the lunar surface back into orbit.
Oh, BTW, look at that image of the flag. the top is drawn taught, and the top telescoping arm is at a 90deg. angle to the pole. That’s fully extended.. not partially extended. The moon isn’t weightless, its reduced gravity. without wind, and low gravity, the flag would hang just the same as if it were in your living room with the doors and windows closed. Try and make a flag look like it’s billowing like that in your living room by bunching it up a little on the pole.
conspiracy theorists don’t even have to TRY anymore. Sure their theories are all explained, but the explanations are crap.

The only times the flags appear to wave is when astronauts are handling them, (and maybe a few seconds of residual vibration once the astronauts let go) and when the LM upper stage blasts off the Moon. Both are cases that do not require wind. Also, the flags used during the early Apollo landings were actually starched. The astronauts were instructed to bunch up the flags to make them look like they were bollowing in the wind, sort of like a freeze frame. I believe they stopped this by the time Apollo 14 landed.

Wow, and I thought conspiracy theories were dead.
Moon rock offers incontrovertible evidence that they landed on the moon. Everything else is easily explained. Get a life guys.

I hate to tell all of you guys and gals this, but if NASA tried to fake the moon landings, the radars of USSR, Japan, China, Korea, etc etc would have said: “No, they didn’t go.” You know they would NEVER had let the USA get away with a hoax!
And all of the hundreds of thousands of telescopes of the world (from 12inches on up) which were focused on the moon, would have said: “Hey, why can’t we see them?”
Furthermore:
I looked at AULIS’s analysis of photos AS17-134-20437-20443 which he claims shares the same studio background with AS17-147-22494-22521. All of his “evidence” is simply refuted when you look closely at the big mountain in the right rear.
Focus at the top, notice along the upper left section that the ridge lines are slightly different! Also notice that in the photo with the lander behind the astronaut, how far away it is, now consider how camera lenses COMPRESS distances. With this in mind, you realize that moving from where the astronaut is to the lander will produce that slight difference in the ridge lines.
To the untrained camera eye they would look the same, but they are actually two real photos.
Now to handle your light source problems, if you do some web research, you will discover the alien presence on the moon. There is one Coast to Coast three part interview dealing with this, part three:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RbpnoqXK_do
talks specifically about bright alien lights on the moon, and even has a photo with one of these lights, it is so bright it nearly washes out the picture, yet it does not extend very far across the moon, yet when looking at the shadows from the craters, they are too oblique for a locolized source, yet it is not the sun.
We have seen other examples of strange alien lights on tape: UFO Hunters from Texas where the light did not TOUCH THE GROUND, IT STOPPED IN MID AIR. This is not possible in our physics, yet we come across this again in the 1950’s by a Russian MIG pilot whose plane’s wing flew through one of these lights coming down from a UFO, the pilot said he could FEEL THE BEAM WHEN IT HIT THE WING! Once again, our physics. . . .
That wing glowed for a week until it was washed down with kerosene.
We have established that aliens have different lights than us, and that they have bases on the moon, so if there are strange light sources on the moon, who knows the source!
If you don’t know about the moon bases, check these web sites.

base on the DARK SIDE OF THE MOON:

yes really, some of the structures are miles high.
In conclusion: The last Apollo mission was paid for, trained, built, and ready to fly; but it didn’t go. Why? We have stayed away from the moon for the last –and here comes that magic government number that pops up everywhere again– 50 years.
Now we can go back, who told us to stay off for 50 years? In case you are unaware, due to the lack of ozone and atmosphere, the cosmic rays of the sun cause an extra hydrogen atom to attach to certain grains laying all over the surface of the moon–stripping this atom is UFO fuel which is why there are so many moon buildings–just check the astronomical records from the big telescopes of the 50’s to the 90’s and all of their records of buildings and bridges miles long appearing, lights coming and going, one man said it looked like someone was hanging out laundry on the moon!
Change your focus from faking to why is our government not telling us about their involvement with alien races? This is a YouTube of a lecture that is like an introduction into the idea that we have been lied to by the gov and is an overview of Mars:

If you are strong enough to handle the truth, listen to this, but you had better be prepared and have an open mind!
If you have never seen Dr. Who, the intro to this next one won’t be relevant, just watch it anyway, the intro isn’t that long, the speaker at one point refers to Dr. Who, so it does get tied in. Have fun hearing the truth, this is informative:
