America'a Apollo 11 lunar module photographed a human skeleton
on the moon when it landed there in 1969.
That's the blockbuster claim of Chinese astrophysicist Dr.
Kang Mao-pang, who first stunned the world when he released
pictures of bare human footprints on the moon at a news conference
in Beijing last winter.
The scientist claimed to have received those photos --- which
were so secret the Apollo 11 astronauts didn't even know they
existed -- from "an unimpeachable U.S. source."
The photograph of the human skeleton was included in a second
batch of photos and documents he received from the same source
this fall.
"The Americans have conspired in a cover-up of monumental
and possibly even criminal proportions," Dr. Kang told
newsmen in Beijing.
"They hid photos of bare human footprints on the moon
for 20 years and managed to keep the human skeleton secret even
longer. The implications of what they found up there are staggering,"
he continued. "But the Americans apparently feel that nobody
else in the world is privileged enough to share the information."
Dr. Kang's allegations stunned U.S. space and intelligence
experts, one of whom went into hiding after reporters tried
to question him in a Washington, D.C., restaurant.
Other sources also refused to comment --even when told that
the Chinese expert has copies of over 1,000 NASA photographs
that clearly show bare human footprints and a human skeleton
on the lunar surface.
Intriguingly, the skeleton appears to have been wearing jeans.
Judging from the position of the bones, it seems likely that
the person it belonged to was at least partially dismembered
and met with a violent death.
It is also probable that the skeleton was transported into
space long after the person was killed. The decomposition of
bone and flesh would not have been possible in the airless atmosphere
of the moon.
The Chinese expert further noted that the age of the skeleton
cannot be estimated without analyzing the bone firsthand.
"Like the footprints on the moon, these photos were taken
by a remote camera aboard the lunar lander and were given to
me by an American source who is beyond reproach," said
Dr. Kang.
"I am also in the possession of classified documents and
letters that describe the footprints as being fresh and the
skeleton unquestionably human.
The question that must be answered is how the footprints and
skeleton go to the moon. The obvious implication is that extraterrestrial
lifeforms were involved but we'll never know unless the Americans
release the information they have."
The documents Dr. Kang quoted from are stamped "top secret"
and dated Aug. 3, 1969, which means they were written just two
weeks after astronauts Neal Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed
and walked on the moon--in boots-- on July 20, 1969.
Large portions of the text have been blocked out. But it's
clear that U.S experts agreed extraterrestrials had something
to do with the bare footprints and skeleton on the moon.
Repeated attempts to get officials at any level of government
to address Dr. Kang's report were unsuccessful.
Explained a Washington source: "Nobody's going to say
anything until President Bush gives the go-ahead. This isn't
any ordinary cover-up. It makes Watergate look like a Sunday
School picnic. It's that damn big.
