According to the “Daily Mail,” leaked astronaut accounts and archival discrepancies suggest that Apollo-era missions encountered unidentified anomalies on the Moon, with photographic evidence allegedly altered before public release. Physicist Maneli Derakshani, speaking on the “American Alchemy” program, detailed instances where NASA photographs taken on the lunar surface differed sharply from their public archive counterparts.
Archival Discrepancies in Apollo Photography
According to the physicist, an "Apollo 14" photograph showing Ed Mitchell on the lunar surface features completely black skies in the institute's scan, while the Johnson Space Center version displays a distinct blue sphere above Mitchell.
Additional comparisons from the “Apollo 17” mission in 1972 revealed blue metallic streaks in space photographs taken by astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt. When magnified and brightened, these streaks resembled insecticide-like objects with faint engine traces. Skeptics, including astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, attribute the visuals to cosmic rays. However, Derakshani countered that statistical probability makes this unlikely due to the objects appearing as solid, circular lights rather than gaseous streaks or lens flares.
Alleged Telepathic Warnings and Communications
Beyond photographic analysis, Derakshani and podcast host Jesse Michels discussed claims that several astronauts, including Neil Armstrong, received telepathic warnings from extraterrestrial presences instructing them not to return to the Moon.
Despite NASA and the Pentagon releasing multiple photo series and audio logs from Apollo missions as part of government disclosure campaigns, both agencies maintain that no evidence of alien life has been discovered. Derakshani noted that while the altered images and observations do not constitute definitive proof of extraterrestrial existence, the consistent patterns remain difficult to explain through natural geology, camera failures, or standard space debris.
Upcoming Artemis Program Missions
These historical claims emerge as NASA prepares for renewed lunar exploration. The agency’s “Artemis III” mission is scheduled for 2027 to fly around the Moon, followed by “Artemis IV” in 2028 as the first lunar landing since the Apollo program. This upcoming touchdown will conclude a nearly six-decade absence that has fueled various unverified conspiracy theories regarding why the United States did not return earlier.
Did you know? The upcoming Artemis IV mission is slated to mark humanity’s first return to the lunar surface since the conclusion of the Apollo program in 1972.
Frequently Asked Questions
What did physicist Maneli Derakshani claim about Apollo photographs?
According to Derakshani, multiple Apollo mission photographs archived by NASA were altered before public release, pointing to discrepancies in background elements—such as blue spheres and metallic streaks—found across different institutional scans of the same frames.
