Since the start of the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union, numerous lunar conspiracies have been circulating. Many theorists and UFOlogists have presented photographic evidence and witness testimonies about extraterrestrial activity on the Moon. NASA officially declared that Apollo 17 was the last manned mission to the Moon in 1972. However, some UFOlogists remain skeptical of this statement. NASA had plans for Apollo 18, 19, and 20 missions, but they were allegedly canceled due to a lack of funding. Despite this, William Rutledge claimed to have been a member of the secretive Apollo 20 mission. The validity of this claim is a topic of ongoing debate.
Upon conducting extensive research on thousands of official photos taken during the Apollo 17 mission to the moon, the UFO community has discovered several peculiarities. The 12-day lunar mission saw the crew capture a staggering 8,400 photographs of the lunar surface, all of which can be accessed on the NASA website.
What could be the reason behind the Apollo 17 mission’s extensive collection of samples and photographs, without any follow-up exploration of its findings? NASA has yet to provide a satisfactory explanation, and citing “lack of funding” seems implausible given their readiness for three additional missions.
Story of Apollo 20
The tale of Apollo 20 garnered attention when William Rutledge posted on YouTube in 2007 under the pseudonym “retiredafb,” sharing photos and videos of the supposed Apollo 20 expedition. Rutledge claimed that this mission was a collaboration between the Soviet Union and the United States in 1976.
Rutledge himself said he had worked at Bell Laboratories and served in the US Air Force. He asserted that while on the Apollo 15 mission to the moon, a strange object of human origin was found and photographed on its surface.
Rutledge’s selection as the astronaut for the team was based on his unique characteristic of being an atheist, which was a rare condition for participation in the mission. During the Apollo 14 mission, he had an awe-inspiring experience as they flew over the southernmost point of the Moon, where he witnessed several abandoned spacecraft and towering structures in cities. Subsequently, during the Apollo 20 mission, the spacecraft successfully landed near the Delporte Crater, and the primary objective was to explore a massive mother ship that had been left unattended for over 1.5 million years and had a distinctive cigar-like shape.
Back in 1976, the Apollo 20 mission embarked on a journey with three members: William Rutledge, Aleksei Leonov, and Leona Snyder. During their expedition, they successfully landed on the ship, explored its interior, and even came across the pilots’ bodies. According to reports, the team went beyond just examining the bodies and allegedly took one of the pilot’s heads as a souvenir.
The ship’s measurements were 3370 by 510 meters and it is believed to be around 1.5 billion years old. Upon exploring the interior, numerous indications of biological existence were discovered: traces of plant matter found in the ship’s engine room, triangular stones emitting a medicinal yellow fluid, and the remnants of small organisms (approximately 10 cm in size) inhabiting a complex network of glass pipes that ran throughout the vessel.
A female humanoid was discovered, standing at 1.65 meters tall. Notably, she possessed six fingers and had fully formed genitals, as well as a head of hair. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that the humanoid was a pilot of sorts, as an aerobatics device was found to be connected to her fingers and eyes. Strangely, the humanoid was not wearing any clothing and had two cables attached to her nose, which lacked nostrils.
In an effort to investigate the device further, Leonov removed it from the humanoid’s eyes. This action, unfortunately, caused some of the humanoid’s bodily fluids to burst and freeze in areas such as her mouth, nose, and eyes. Despite this, some parts of the body remained in good condition, with the hair and skin being protected by a thin, transparent layer of unknown material.
Interestingly, the state of the humanoid appeared to be neither fully dead nor alive. Within the booth where she was found, there were inscriptions present on long, hexagonal tubes, which made up the structure of the enclosure.
Apollo 20: Fake or Real?
Dubbed as “The Apollo 20 hoax,” the alleged data presented has been widely debunked as fraudulent by numerous fact-checkers. However, Scott Waring, an individual who identifies himself as a UFO hunter based in Taiwan, has argued that the mission was indeed genuine. According to Waring’s blog post, he had a conversation with Rutledge, who married an African woman and chose to reside in Rwanda even after his wife passed away.
Waring claimed that Rutledge disclosed to him that the female pilot retrieved from the elongated cigar-shaped craft located in Delporte crater was transported back to the spacecraft, cleaned up, and brought to a military base on Earth. Rutledge mentioned that the pilot was neither deceased nor alive, but rather in a state of hibernation or coma that continues to persist to this day.
According to his account, there were immense glass tunnels adorning the sides of the cigar-shaped vessel, each as wide as his arm. Upon closer inspection, they observed a multitude of miniature skeletons belonging to a bipedal species measuring only 2-3cm tall, numbering in the hundreds. However, the pathways appeared to be designed for taller beings such as humans. The female pilot was discovered with two tubes connected from the ship’s controls to her nostrils, indicating a symbiotic relationship with the craft. They carefully severed the hoses and transported her to safety.
During their exploration, the team stumbled upon peculiar yellow rocks that appeared to exude a viscous liquid. It almost seemed as though the rocks were alive. Additionally, they came across a massive triangular vessel adjacent to the cigar-shaped craft. The outer hull of the triangle ship had a breach that suggested someone had already scavenged for valuable technology.
Regrettably, it has been a decade or more since any communication has been received from him or any updates about him. It appears that he invested his utmost endeavor to procure the evidence and ultimately disregarded the matter. As per his account, he and his associate retrieved the movie reels from trash receptacles near an airfield hanger after seeking permission from the security guard on duty, who seemed unconcerned about the matter, as everything was scheduled to be destroyed. They took possession of the reels and later, William transformed a few of them into standard videos to be posted on Youtube.
Although there are doubts and claims of its debunking, my personal experience with someone who had access to insider information about the Apollo 20 mission has convinced me that it was indeed a real mission. The objective of the mission was to recover advanced alien technology that could help maintain America’s position as a global superpower. However, some people judge without having a complete understanding of the situation.
Aside from this, many astronomers and experts have observed peculiar activities on the moon that cannot be easily explained. Several videos taken by amateur astronomers depict unidentified flying objects (UFOs) hovering near the lunar surface, and strange luminous light has been seen behind the Moon. While some may argue that these are just satellites or natural phenomena, others believe that they could be crafts of unknown origin.
