Recently, I recieved an email from a contact of mine in Italy named Luca Scantamburlo. Luca is a journalist who, since May of 2007, has been granted access to a man claiming to have been involved with several NASA Apollo moon missions. Below is an excerpt of some of Luca’s latest work:

INTRODUCTION

Since May 2007 I have been investigating as freelancer an intrigant case on which so far there is an embarrassing silence in the mass media world: the Apollo 19/20 case, about classified USAF missions – officially never occured – by NASA assistance and the collaboration of the Soviets.

It seems that up to now only Kevin Smith – see his interview with me in October 2007, during his radio talk The Kevin Smith Show (live from Phoenix, Arizona) has opened a honest discussion on the controversial topic.

Among not many reports on the issue, I want to point out the one written by Steve Johnson for a British bi-monthly publication: The Apollo XX Controversy, pages 31-35, UFO Data Magazine, November-December 2007; it is fair and keeps an open mind.

We know the Apollo 19/20 case is a jungle composed by truth and fake; there are contradictory aspects and some misleading data, but at the same time very interesting videos never seen before, official evidence of symmetrical (artificial?) objects resting on the lunar surface, some detailed information on Space exploration and Space flight, and an historical context where to read this astonishing story. My opinion is we are facing some kernels of truth, very important for the mankind’s future.

The target of the above-mentioned and presumed military space missions would have been the far side of the Moon, where to explore and collect data about some mysterious and huge objects resting over there; among them, two triangle objects and a huge cigar-shaped object, apparently ancient extraterrestrial space ships.

The insider who – since April 2007 by YouTube – has been telling the story is “retiredafb” (that’s his YouTube user name), who claims to be William Rutledge, an American citizen and a former civilian test pilot that would have employed in the last century with Avro, Chance Vought and the USAF, before taking part in Apollo 20 as commander (CDR). The other two crew members of Apollo 20: Leona Marietta Snyder (as CSP) and the famous cosmonaut Alexei Leonov (as LMP).

According to Rutledge’s testimony, Apollo 20 was a secret joint US and Soviet space mission that occured in August 1976 (launch from Vandenberg AFB: August 16), about one year after the famous Apollo-Soyuz Test Project, which launched in July 1975 (Apollo 18 and Soyuz 19).

Kindly at the end of May 2007 “retiredafb” granted me an interview (not by e-mail) by the YouTube General messages service; an interview which I was able to arrange and spread on my website: www.angelismarriti.it; as journalist I thought the story told by “retiredafb” about Apollo 19 and 20 was worthy of attention.
