NASA: Apollo 11 flag from man’s first moon landing ‘missing’

A series of American flags that were planted on the moon during visits by Apollo astronauts some four decades ago are still standing, except for one, a NASA scientist has said.

The missing flag was the one planted by the pioneering astronauts on the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 when the first humans — Americans Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong — stepped foot on the moon.

The details are contained in an online article by principal investigator Mark Robinson who analyzed data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC).

“From the LROC images it is now certain that the American flags are still standing and casting shadows at all of the sites, except Apollo 11,” he wrote.

  1. This is a kinda stupid story. The Apollo 11 flag was blown away when ascent engine was fired, there’s even video of it happening.

    Don’t you know that the moon is made from Cheese!

    It certainly was a Grand Day Out!

  3. Ok, Now how many billions of dollar should be spent to Find it?

  4. The moon landing videos are a joke. They look worse than the first star trek movies. Rockets made from plastic bottles and bubble gum. Maneuvered by a hand in a black glove which is concealed by a black back ground…..Time to dust down the film studio in Area 51.

    I especially love the way that the return capsule blasts off from the moon (a gravity free zone) and no moon dust gets raised into the air???

    No Air on the Moon.

    Now wait a minute … I saw that flag flopping around in
    the wind. That proves that there’s air on the moon.
    Don’tcha know that the moon spins on it’s axix, just like
    the earth ? That’s why we can see both sides of the moon
    when it’s goin’ through its phases. Don’t believe me ?
    Just look at the full moon and you’ll see the other
    side of the moon. Two plus two equals five.

    The moon does NOT spin on its axis. I learned that in third grade. So you’re not even smarter than a third grader. LOL

    The moon does rotate. It is just the rotation rate matches the orbit speed, so we only see one side.

    gravity free zone.. oh yeah show us how smart ya arent.
    I learned it in 1st grade the moon’s gravity is 1/7 of Earths..

    so are you smarter than a 1st grader?

  5. Yes Alea it was a huge Hoax.

  6. Totally irrelevant story — someone needs more coffee this morning!

  7. The stars are missing as well, including the film grain on all the NASA moon shot website photos as well.

    and all the stars absent in the NASA pictures???? they realy do think humans are ignorant sheep

  8. The 1969 Moon Landing was just another massive HOAX perpetrated on the American Sheeple by their evil, Satanic, lying, oppressive, Fascist NWO Nazi Government which also brought us Pearl Harbor, the JFK, RFK and MLK assassinations, Gulf of Tonkin, Oklahoma City, WTC Bombing No.1, USS Cole, Marine Barracks bombing, London’s 7/7 subway bombing, 9/11, the Shoe Bomber, the Times Square Bomber, the Skidmark Bomber, among others, and the list goes on and on……..and most of the slaves in this country remain oblivious……..

    nicw to see some are waking up to the deceptions

  9. Regarding the moon landings…. well in my opinion knowing how the US military likes spending tax payers money, building bases, blowing stuff up and grandstanding it is amazing that they haven’t been back… thats obviously assuming they ever went in the firstplace… Alan bean who was supposedly the 4th man on the moon and seems a nice decent likeable chap claims he went.. maybe he genuinely thinks he did!! mk ultra etc… who knows… either way it has to be said that the landing footage does look fake, also satellite images of junk left on the moon could easily be faked, even junk could be remotely dumped on the moon at some point when needed… so the truth may never be known… just look at the calibre of politicians and the political climate at the time and decide for yourself… as with 9/11 and 7/7 in the UK… would you trust any of those guys to even tell you the correct time!

    OH it isn’t that they never went, not in the apollo space bicycles.They went with the technology Hitler was working on. anti gravity space vehicules. not with apollo capsules.

    that was the spin lies that NASA used.The secret space program has them the anti gravity crafts.

    They been going to the moon ever since, and to mars and who knows where also?

    absence of proof isn’t proof of absence?

  10. I find it interesting that nasa now wants no-fly zones and and an exclusion zone around the supposed apollo landing sites. Wouldn’t want people to discover that the whole thing is a giant hoax.

  11. Well, what about Peacecap Johnson, the 4th Man on the Apollo 11 misison. NASA likes to keep the truth well hidden alright!

  13. I see Buzz is first, this time and Neil , second

  14. MOre spins right?

    videos of moon landings? Hollywood prepared? in studios on earth ?

    Proove they went to the moon? who can proove it? they might of went to the moon but certainly not in those bicycles called apollo and lem lying?

    Did you ever see the reaction of those astroaunauts heroes to the American sheeples? have you see n them run away from the cameras when confronted by a journalist that asks them to sware on the bible declaring they went to the moon?

    well I rest my case on that element alone.

    why would they want to run from the journalist asking the questions? why?

    If they realy went , they should not run away from the journalist asking them to sware on the bible no?

    smells cover up.

  15. Before I woke up I really thought we went to the moon. Now that I know the truth and that we didn’t I am disappointed in myself for not being more inquisitive back then. One thing that is just implausible is the idea how astronauts could have had enough battery life to keep their suits pressurized. Even with batteries today there would only be time for short walks even if they could get there. The camera they used would have either frozen or overheated. It would not have been possible to protect the film.

    Neil and Buzz need to come clean.

    Apollo missions was the deceptive plan to rob the tax payers while they developped the secret space program. and all the top secret agendas JFK talked about before he was murdered.

    they went to the moon but not the way they said they did.

  16. Apollo space capsules were unable and unsafe to cross the Van allen belt. but back then people for most ignored that truth and Nasa was feeding crap to the people like the moon has no gravity and all the spin lies that has molded the public opinions.

  17. The United State of lies never go anywhere near the moon. Especially not in the flimsy can of aluminium in 1969 or 70. If they had gone, then what the hell stopped them from returning back with the much better advancement in technology ever since. It was a hoax! the flags were planted in a studio set . NASA along with the crooks that became billionaires of it hookwinked the whole world, which is really what the country is good at. An excellent smoke and mirrors of recent past was 911. Any student of even the most basic space science/astrophysics can easily find out that there is no way, NASA did what they claimed and no evidence verifiable under scientific scrutiny.
