Anomalous Behavior of the Apollo Space Program
One way to detect a deception or lie is to observe the behavior of the people who are knowledgeable
participants in it. Liars frequently behave in ways which are contradictory to the actions of those who

is being dishonest.
For example, the body language and speech of the three Apollo 11 astronauts at their official news
conference as they fielded questions from reporters was not what one would expect from men who

would be discovered to be quite the opposite of heroes.
One of the most famous names associated with the Apollo Moon Missions is Neil Armstrong. He
is reportedly the first man to set foot on the Moon. That would be a stellar achievement if true, and
any normal man would seek to capitalize on that fame by remaining in the public eye and
acquiescing to the many requests to do interviews. Yet Neil Armstrong did just the opposite after the
Moon landing. He became reclusive, inaccessible, only on rare occasions granting interviews on this
subject. Neil Armstrong’s aversion to speaking publicly about the Apollo 11 Mission was so well
known that when he finally granted an interview 43 years later, the ABC news commentator in

Armstrong granted an interview. It was Alex Malley, the head of an accounting agency, who for
several years hosted a program titled The Bottom Line for Nine Network in Australia.
In a one minute clip on ABC News, the commentator states the following.
