Apollo 11 pics need info, please help

[saturnm]

 Hello my name is Jesus, I have been having a hard time trying to find where or if they are duplicate. I have seven pictures of the Apollo 11 Landing. Some of the pictures are of the the astronauts next to the lander. My question is they are not normal pictures or duplicates. They look exactly like polaroids. I just been having a hard time being able to distingust if they are duplicates or real, they are numbered 1-7. Back ground of the story, mother worked at dude ranch in AZ found them after a son of an astronaut received the pictures, he did not want them and thew them away. Hope you can help me find the truth or where they are originally from. Thank you very much.

We can't see any pics mate.  Pics or it didn't happen.

totally understand, have them locked up in a safe. When I have chance to access the safe again I will take pics and up load them. Just never seen the that type of photo usually they are just normal pictures but not that type.

Polaroid sounds like nonsense to me.  I think the cameras that were on Apollo were conventional film not polaroid (according to NASA).

Well "according to NASA" the chest cameras were Hassalblad 70mm regular film cameras... but I have one problem with that story.

When regular film gets cold its extremely brittle and yet I saw no heaters on those cameras. Also regular film gets exposed if you run it through an x-ray scanner at the airport and yet despite direct exposure to all that space radiation on the atmosphereless moon NASA says the film came out fine.

Someone want to try to put a camera in the deep freezer and see if the film advances properly?  I hear NASA says its extremely cold up there outside the protective suit, yet they cameras are just sticking out there exposed to the elements



Of course if they didn't REALLY go to the moon and filmed it on a set on Earth, then there would be no issue

But if there are Polaroids, then perhaps one of the astronauts took some private pics while on the set

So lets have a look

That is exactly were the problem lies Zorgon, I have never seen the polaroid pics on any website or for sale yet. I am wondering if they are like you said Zargon that they were private pics, I was also thinking if it was faked that they are shots to put everything in frame before filming. I honestly dont know

Hello John,


Thank you for your email. I do not have any information, and do not know where you can get it.

Is what you are saying here is that some polaroids were taken of a fake studio set of Apollo 11 and you have the masters locked in a safe?

My guess is if they are real, you better start running now or put them on the net for all to see as quick as you can to protect yourself. (maybe) If real ask John and Zorgon for help.

I am not sure if they were or not or even just private pics that were taken. All I really want to find is the orgin of where they came from. The pics are in clear color.

Well post them then!  I can't be bothered with time wasters.

Saturn, I am going with Pimander on this one. Talking about something does not work that well. It is like dangeling a carrot to see who bites. I have never heard of this type of a camera being used on the moon. I don't even think it would work there. So you should find time and scan the photos in hi-res and then place then on line somewhere and link them here. If you need to know how to do this, there are many people here who could help out.

If you don't have an account on line, you could use my cloud site. thelivingmoon/deuem and tell the people they are there. then we go out and get them.

I am in the process of getting them this weekend, i currently do not live where the pictures are. I totally understand where you guys are coming from and it is not my intention to show something false.
