Since Apollo 11 touched down on July 20, 1969, conspiracy theorists have loudly proclaimed that man never actually made it to the moon. Myths surrounding the landing have spread far and wide — but they aren't the only stories to come off the lunar surface. Here are ten other moon-based conspiracies.
ARE THERE GLASS RUINS ON THE MOON?
In their book "Dark Mission: The Secret History of NASA," authors Richard Hogland and Mike Bara claim that glass or crystal-like ruins can be seen on the lunar surface. The towering structures are said to be over a mile long. Photos of the ruins, they say, were photographed by Apollo astronauts and withheld from the public by a NASA employee for over 30 years.
IS THE MOON A HOLLOW SPACECRAFT?
Alex Collier, who claims to be in touch with a race of aliens he refers to as Andromedan cosmonauts, says that the Moon is not a celestial body but a hollow spacecraft used thousands of years ago to transport a race of reptilian beings to Earth, which they then proceeded to populate. The moon is simply a high tech moving van parked in our orbit.
DID A CREATURE RUN THROUGH APOLLO 14 FOOTAGE?
Perhaps one of the reasons we never returned to the moon is the wildlife we found up there. A speaker at Conspiracy Con 2011 showed alleged Apollo 14 footage of a monkey or dog-like creature moving rapidly across the lunar surface while the astronauts are already back inside the spacecraft.
ALIEN MOON BASE ?
According to the UFO Casebook website, NASA has captured images of what are believed to be alien bases on the far side of the moon. In 1994, the US Navy sent a satellite called Clementine to take images of the moon, but found nothing unusual enough to share with the public.Though 1.8 million images were taken, only 170,000 images were made public. The rest have been classified, which leads many to believe that proof of alien life is being withheld from the public.
HAVE ASTRONAUTS SEEN ALIENS?
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, who was the Lunar Module Pilot for Apollo 14, claimed during a radio interview with Nick Margerrison of Kerrang Radio in 2008 that aliens had made contact with humans many times but that the government has been hiding the truth. He described the aliens as being "little people who look strange to us" and warned that our technology was not nearly as advanced as theirs. "Had they been hostile," he said, "we would be gone by now."
Another rumor: both Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin saw and filmed an active alien moon base on the far side of the moon during their lunar jaunt. James Lovell of the Apollo 8 mission is also rumored to have seen evidence of alien life.
