Old conspiracy theory about Apollo 11 mission is current again: People believe astronauts saw THIS on the Moon
As NASA postponed the first mission to send astronauts around the Moon in 50 years, a conspiracy theory about what Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin allegedly discovered on the surface of Earth's natural satellite has resurfaced.
TL;DR
- A conspiracy theory suggests Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin saw beings in a Moon crater.
- The theory claims they communicated this discovery on a reserve channel, a claim lacking evidence.
- Former CIA scientists and astronauts like Edgar Mitchell have suggested NASA concealed information about lunar discoveries.
- Official US government and Pentagon statements deny any evidence of UFOs or alien beings.
- The resurfacing of the theory coincides with NASA's postponement of the Artemis II mission due to technical issues.
