The Reality of Apollo / Re: Anyone heard this story about the LLTV and a state trooper?
« Last post by TimberWolfAu on December 28, 2025, 08:47:35 AM »Sounds like a vary tall tale. Especially with the lack of details.
The trainers operated in very specific location, so it's not likely that a random person, State Trooper or not, would witness one just landing outside their area of operations.
That and the trainers only carried one person, and they didn't wear "spacesuits" but normal flight suits.
The actual training was done at Ellington Airfield, in Texas, ref 'Unconventional, Contrary, and Ugly:The Lunar Landing Research Vehicle' NASA SP-2004-4535

The Reality of Apollo / Anyone heard this story about the LLTV and a state trooper?
« Last post by Peter B on December 28, 2025, 08:24:57 AM »Someone on YT (yeah, I know) is claiming this story about the LLRVs/LLTVs:
I checked it on Snopes and got no hits, and then on Google, and the AI response (yeah, I know) was that it's a bit of space lore.
So I was hoping the Brains Trust here might know something about the story?
Thank you in advance!
Cheers
Peter

The trainers also were the cause of a famous project blue book UFO incident, a State trooper spotted a landing withe astronauts getting out of the vehicle in space suits and reported it, NASA didn't want the location Astronauts were practicing revealed and had the report suppressed until after the moon missions were completed.

The Hoax Theory / Re: AI making debunking harder...

When I see them posted in groups I can comment in/participate in, I will point out that the Earth has been added.
Click-bait pages, like the ones Mr White has been raging about (whilst checking this forum for updates far more regularly than I originally expected, Oh, and no I'm not Tim, but I do know him in the real world), I just block/hide them from my feed, there's no point in commenting on those ones.

The Reality of Apollo / Re: Apollo sites photographed by lunar probes - my new page

I have a copy of "The Moon as Viewed by Lunar Orbiter" (nice big green book), which has the reference charts at the end. From looking a quick looks at the links provided, I should be able to find a spot in the book, grab the corresponding frame #, and find it through the links.
I have that, and also the full Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas version - it does come up on eBay from time to time, sometimes at sensible prices, sometimes not!

Virtual LM, from Scott P Sullivan. (with the CD)
Saw this one, and the Virtual Apollo, and since this one was the cheapest to grab, I grabbed it. Looks good, so I'm going to have to go and grab Virtual Apollo now
