Alleged Alien Whispers: Astronaut Photos Claimedly Altered by NASA Decades Ago.

NASA's most celebrated astronauts allegedly whispered to each other about an alien presence on the moon before being ordered to shut up for decades. Physicist Maaneli Derakhshani shared this startling revelation with the American Alchemy podcast, insisting that multiple Apollo missions actually captured photos of UFOs hovering around our satellite during the 1960s and 1970s. Those images were supposedly altered before the public ever saw them.

Derakhshani, who studies lunar and Martian surface anomalies, pointed out specific instances where famous NASA photos taken by astronauts on the ground had been clearly tampered with when compared to public copies of the same frames. He explained his findings in detail while discussing the stark differences between archive versions and released media.

'One scan from the Lunar and Planetary Institute - this is an archive that NASA has managed since the 1970s - and it's an Apollo 14 photograph with Ed Mitchell standing on the lunar surface,' Derakhshani said during the interview. 'You see his long shadow stretched out and... essentially the lunar sky is completely black in this version.'

'You zoom in everywhere, it's completely black,' he revealed without hesitation. However, if you look at the "March to the moon" version of that same frame, which is managed by Johnson Space Center and Arizona State University, there is a blue orb in the lunar sky very clearly. It sits right above Mitchell and is impossible to miss once you see it.

Derakhshani and podcast host Jesse Michels also noted that several astronauts, including Neil Armstrong, the first human on the moon, have reportedly claimed they received telepathic messages from extraterrestrials warning them not to return. These bombshell whistleblower stories emerge right now as NASA prepares to land on the lunar surface by 2028.

That upcoming mission aims to end a nearly six-decade absence which has sparked unproven conspiracy theories as to why the US never returned to the moon after Apollo 17. During that final mission, astronauts Eugene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt took many photos while visiting the lunar surface in 1972.

Derakhshani revealed on the podcast that one famous frame showed three solid blue lights in the black sky above a lunar hill. He insisted these objects were real and part of a massive cover-up involving NASA astronauts and the moon itself.

When an image of space is brightened, the empty area between lights actually gets brighter. This suggests the sources might not be isolated points but attached to something much larger. NASA noted this very thing in their initial batch of declassified UFO files released back in May. They stated that a 'special investigation' was opened right away because experts examining the footage believed these lights were part of a large physical object floating in space.

One scientist pointed out that other photos from the same mission showed blue, metallic-looking streaks across the void. When those streaks are zoomed in and brightened, they resemble insectoid-like objects leaving faint trails from what looks like an engine. Skeptics, including astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, have argued the images were just cosmic rays. But Derakhshani called those odds statistically improbable. The objects appear as solid round lights, not gaseous streaks or simple lens flares.

Even though NASA and the Pentagon released tranches of photos and hours of audio recordings from Apollo missions during the Trump Administration's UFO disclosure campaign, they continue to deny that proof of alien life has been found. Derakhshani added that these altered pictures and other sightings are not definitive proof of aliens, yet said the patterns are hard to explain as natural geology or camera glitches. They don't look like ordinary space debris either.

The strongest evidence of a potential NASA cover-up might come from an alleged confession by an actual astronaut who claimed he was ordered to destroy potential proof of UFO sightings near the moon. This archival photograph depicts the lunar surface as viewed from the landing site of Apollo 12. It features a highlighted area of interest slightly to the right of the vertical axis, above the horizon, where unidentified phenomena are visible. Another view highlights areas above the horizon in which unidentified phenomena appear.

'There's also Ken Johnston Sr, who was one of the pilots who trained the NASA astronauts and was a backup astronaut for the Apollo missions if I remember correctly,' Derakhshani said during an episode on YouTube back in July. 'He says he was told to destroy a bunch of first-generation or early-generation Apollo negatives because they had some anomalies on them and they're not supposed to be there, and they don't want to release them publicly and he actually saved some of them and put some of his copies online.'

The Daily Mail has reached out to NASA for comment. Michels then brought up the alleged confessions of astronauts Cernan and Armstrong, who both reportedly mentioned having similar experiences during their lunar flights involving a warning received from extraterrestrials. 'There are all these apocryphal stories of Neil Armstrong telling similar stories in Washington, DC, saying, "We were told not to come back to the moon,"' the host noted.

Michels referenced a previous interview with Steve Colbern, a lab analyst who participated in surgeries to remove alleged alien implants from people. He claimed Armstrong was overheard at a party for high-level political guests repeating that warning. Meanwhile, Cernan reportedly told his friend and Japanese NASA museum curator Josen Takano that during the trip to the moon, he received some type of telepathic message saying: 'We don't really want you here.'

The next mission scheduled to circle the moon is Artemis III, expected to take place sometime in 2027. The following mission, a year later, would be Artemis IV and is expected to be the first lunar landing since the Apollo program ended.
