Decades-old found footage from NASA's abandoned Apollo 18 mission, where two American astronauts were sent on a secret expedition, reveals the reason the U.S. has never returned to the moon.
Officially, Apollo 17, launched December 17th, 1972 was the last manned mission to the moon. But a year later, in December of 1973, two American astronauts were sent on a secret mission to the moon funded by the US Department of Defense. What you are about to see is the actual footage which the astronauts captured on that mission. While NASA denies its authenticity, others say it's the real reason we've never gone back to the moon.
Due to budgetary constraints, scheduling issues and other various setbacks, the final few Apollo missions of the 1960s and 70s were cancelled. Apollo 18, 19 and 20 were all planning to take astronauts to the surface of the Moon again but it just wasn’t meant to be. In early 1970, they pulled the plug on the Apollo 20 mission and later that year NASA also put an end to the Apollo 18 & 19 missions.
But what if Apollo 17 wasn’t actually the last Apollo Lunar mission? What if Apollo 18 actually did happen covertly and conducted its scheduled landing in February of 1972 and found alien life? This is the story behind the upcoming film written by Brian Miller, simply titled Apollo 18.
The Weinstein Company picked up the rights to Miller’s Apollo 18 screenplay and Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) is attached to produce. Trevor Cawood, a visual effects artist who worked on such films as The Matrix Reloaded and The Matrix Revolutions, was attached to direct the “found footage” documentary-style, sci-fi thriller, but the latest news has Spanish director Gonzalo Lopez-Gallego stepping in to helm the project.
The theatrical trailer for the found-footage thriller Apollo 18 has been released. It’s pretty much Paranormal Activity in space, as it uses the same stationary/hand-held camera set-up and the scares consist of shadows and people being thrashed around by invisible entities. Seriously, the similarities between this film and Paranormal Activity border on carbon copy. That being said, if the found-footage genre is your thing, then this is probably right up your alley.
Produced by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted), the story revolves around archived footage that reveals the U.S. launched one last secret mission to the moon before the Apollo program was terminated. As expected, the American astronauts encounter much more than moon rocks. Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Apollo 18 opens September 2nd.
Every single year Hollywood puts out a movie that is based off a true story. Last year it was the movie Unstoppable and this year it is Apollo 18. I have no idea how much truth there is to the Apollo 18 flight and the reason I finally started doing some looking into it is because of a recent comment that Dimension Films head Bob Weinstein said to EW. He told them quote;
“People intrinsically know there are secrets being held from us,… There are secrets that are really true to the world. It’s not bogus. …. We didn’t shoot anything, We found it. Found baby!”
Needless to say I laughed when I read that he was trying to sell us on an Apollo 18 mission that encountered an alien life form on the Moon that was secretly recorded and kept under wraps until now. But that does not stop some of you from believing that not only did Apollo 18 happen but so did Apollo 19 and Apollo 20 with some pretty shocking outcomes.
Just from watching the trailer for Apollo 18 it is hard to believe it is not Hollywood produced. Frankly there are scenes in JJ Abrams Cloverfield that looked more plausible then this new Apollo 18 movie.
That said in doing some looking it seems that there is a large group of believers who believe full heartedly that something strange did happen on the moon and that there is good reason we have never returned to the lunar planet. Most of this revolves around footage from Apollo 20 and interviews by William Rutledge one of the astronauts who now lives in Africa who not only went to the moon but claims to have entered a crashed alien craft and recovered an alien that has been called the Mona Lisa EBE.
William Rutledge was the Commander of Apollo 20 which is clearly not Apollo 18 which leads to the question what does William Rutledge have to do with Apollo 18? Well he is the only one that seems to talk about the flight from the limited reading I have done this morning. NASA doesn’t deny Apollo 18 existed so why is William the only one who talks about the Apollo 18 moon landing? Well that is where there is some truth in the trailer.
The Apollo 18, 19 and 20 flights were cancelled NASA and never happened. So why does William Rutledge have footage and technical knowledge of the flight and conducting interviews where he talks in detail about the flight of Apollo 20? Did Apollo 18 meet its demise on the Lunar surface at the hands of some sort of alien life form? Did it bring something back? Did William Rutledge and Apollo 20 also discover Alien life?
Frankly I can find very little reference to the Flight of Apollo 18 but a variety of sites have interviews with William Rutledge Commander of Apollo 20 and there is plenty of information on Apollo 20 and some on Apollo 19 which just begs more questions, what happened to Apollo 18? Did that flight happen as well and get covered up?
To sum up NASA’s stance is Apollo 18 / 19 and 20 did not happen. From the perspective of William Rutledge who has released photos and videos onto youtube under the aliased ‘retiredafb’ Apollo 20 took place on August 16th 1976. It was a joint Russian, American project to go to the moon and investigate the object on the hidden side of the moon and retrieve it. Do some looking on the web and you will find plenty of photos and a few videos and lots of details on the flights.
Ask yourself do you believe that Apollo 18 was as Commander Rutledge calls it ‘a mission to the moon to shake hands’? Or is it all a great big hoax? Did Commander William Rutledge and Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov and Leona Snyder really go the moon and did they really recover the alien life form below? Or is this all a well planned hoax? For me its a hoax but what do I know I spent a few hours reading and am by no means an expert.
