Information I've come across from a private source (who wishes to remain private) suggests that SOME of the black-and-white overhead view "Apollo 20" images (not video) ARE of an actual Artifact, the rest being not-so-clever fakes to "muddy the waters" and give "plausible denial", and that the ENTIRE "Apollo 20" story itself was a hoax used to leak several real photographs from a real NASA Mission (NOT "Apollo 20") that had closer images of the object from above (they never actually went inside the object, just got a closer look from above).
The scenario that was revealed to me, was that NASA *themselves* leaked several authentic photos of a real NASA Mission (not "Apollo 20"), and then made the "Apollo 20" Mission scenario and hoaxed images / videos thrown in to muddy the waters and give the whole thing easy plausible denial. The "retiredafb" guy who posted all the material was himself working for NASA, according to this source, and was given the task to leak real images with fakes and a false backstory to muddy it all up.
What intrigues me, is that the original 1971 NASA Photo from Apollo 15 is undeniably real, it was taken on an actual NASA Mission (Apollo 15; 1971) and could even be seen and linked to on their website. No UFO Researcher had previously pointed this anomalous looking object in this photograph out, to my knowledge. Which suggests maybe there is something to it. This one ...
And here is the FULL SIZE original NASA photo (the object is seen around the center of the image) from The Lunar and Planetary Institute ...
Apollo Image Atlas
And here are the purportedly true closer images of the object leaked in the "Apollo 20" story from a later real NASA mission that was NOT "Apollo 20" ...
The rest of the purported "Apollo 20" images, according to this source, are fakes, models, etc. And all videos were fakes, and all information they gave with them were fakes, they never actually went inside the object. All they got were closer over-head images of the object in some subsequent mission after noticing the anomaly in Apollo 15's mission.
I don't know the authenticity of the claims from this person, maybe I've had my first contact with a real dis-info source for all I know. But what intrigued me is how the object is clearly shown in an AUTHENTIC Apollo 15 NASA Photograph (which I linked) that no one previously had pointed out before this whole Apollo 20 mess started. So, maybe they did link a few real images with a bunch of crap.
I remain agnostic on this. The source could be full of crap or dis-info. But I did find the object being in a real Apollo 15 photograph to be intriguing. I'm not an image analyst, so I won't hang my hat on this.
