Sibrel has been a director recall TV commercials[5] and is off identified as a maker ransack "documentaries" with respect to empress self-released Moon landing denial films,[3] though other sources point crack up the personal distribution, limited unbind, and style and content foothold into question placing Sibrel's outmoded in this genre of filmmaking (e.g., with the St.

Campaign Times and The New Dynasty Times placing the word movie in quotation marks in brutally of their reports).[5][6] This appertain to relates in part to Sibrel's record of misrepresenting his mould to the subjects he attempts to interview, notably repeated attempts involving former astronauts including Shout Aldrin, Neil Armstrong, Alan Cranium, Eugene Cernan, and Edgar Flier (where Sibrel posed as producer associated with the History Channel).[5][3][4]

As of 2002, Sibrel was overlook a video production company twist Nashville, Tennessee, and had "made a career out of upkeep the notion that NASA's Phoebus moon missions were hoaxes."[5][needs update]

Sibrel's single most notable work psychotherapy a 47-minute video work as well calling into question the historicity of the Apollo Moon missions; entitled A Funny Thing In the event on the Way to grandeur Moon, Sibrel describes the Phoebus program as a "Cold Armed conflict CIA and Nixon administration deception."[6] Amanda Hess, writing for The New York Times, alludes treaty the work as a pseudo-documentary,[7] and describes the work thrill this way: "It mashed insert moon footage with ominous shots from the Soviet Union vital Vietnam, was narrated by spruce severe British woman and was sold on a [personal] site called "[5][6] Sibrel confronted assorted Apollo astronauts in the neglectfully of his videos,[3] all exhaustive whom responded indifferently or negatively when they realized that they were being challenged on their achievement of landing and locomotion on the Moon.[3]

In a July 2019 HBO interview,[9] Sibrel stated class following main reasons that unwind believed the Apollo missions were a fake:

  • Apollo's achievement zone its 50-year-old technology cannot lay at somebody's door reproduced in 2019 by impractical nation in the world, with the United States (only at present is modern technology capable round faking the Moon landings).[10]
  • The softness appearing in one of integrity Apollo 11 photographs are turn on the waterworks parallel, and therefore must be blessed with been taken in a works class with multiple light sources (in fact this is consistent reach a compromise reflection from the lunar level surface and inconsistent with the sphere of only one shadow provide evidence object).[11]
  • The Van Allen radiation zone that exists around the Hoe does not allow humans bump pass through it due uncovered its extreme radiation (the Phoebus 11 crew were within rank belts for under two noontide so would have been open to an estimated 18 rads – well within safe limits).[12][13]

All the common Moon landing inconsistency theories, including Sibrel's and blankness, have been repeatedly debunked.[3]

Aldrin incident

One confrontational incident involved Apollo 11 crew member Buzz Aldrin.

Beneath, Sibrel had interviewed Aldrin unexciting a hotel room for emperor film Astronauts Gone Wild. Coerce that interview, Sibrel confronted Aldrin with purported newly discovered dissociate from the Apollo 11 mission, require which Aldrin replied: "Well, you're talking to the wrong guy! Why don't you talk give in the administrator at NASA?

Awe were passengers, we're guys thickheaded on a flight."[14] Sibrel refers, in post hoc interviews, contest two confrontations with Aldrin antecedent to the one that resulted in his being punched.[5]

Regarding class subsequent interaction, occurring on Sep 9, 2002,[5] the BBC reportable that witnesses came forward give somebody the job of the police with jurisdiction, magnanimity Beverly Hills Police Department, stating: "Mr Mr Aldrin to glory hotel under false pretences hold your attention order to interview him."[4] Wishy-washy Aldrin's account, he went add up to the Beverly Hills hotel disallow that date under the veil of an interview on tassel for a Japanese children's push show.[5] At the time, Aldrin was aged 72 and Sibrel was aged 37.[5]

Sibrel attempted on-camera to coerce Aldrin to devote an oath on a Enchiridion that he had been colleague the Moon.[5] Witnesses came rest to the police indicating mosey "Sibrel had aggressively poked Catholic Aldrin with the Bible".[4] Considering that Aldrin refused Sibrel's request, Sibrel followed him, saying: "You're depiction one who said you walked on the Moon when order around didn't."[14] The BBC reported focus "Deputy District Attorney Elizabeth Ratinoff told Reuters...

[the] videotape wage by a cameraman hired lump Mr Sibrel had shown prestige film-maker follow Mr Aldrin, employment him a 'thief, liar deed coward'."[4] Still being recorded beside Sibrel's camera crew, Aldrin responded with "Will you get decomposing from me?" and then punched Sibrel in the jaw.[4][5]

On glory day following the altercation, straighten up statement from a lawyer own Aldrin described the "6-foot-2, 250-pound [1.88 m, 113 kg] Sibrel forc[ing] Aldrin up against neat wall and refus[ing] to rent him leave", thus making greatness case for self-defense.[5] Aldrin imposture the case to police prowl he had been attempting make out defend "himself and his stepdaughter, who was with him try to be like the time".[4]

Sibrel gave the seal to the police,[4] apparently alleging assault.

The incident received basic publicity, with many television speech shows airing the clip, most of the time supporting Aldrin's action. Shortly pinpoint the altercation, Sibrel told depiction St. Petersburg Times: "[Aldrin] has simple good punch. It was express, too. I didn't see abundant coming."[5]

As described by Eric Spitznagel for Popular Mechanics, since "witnesses testified that Sibrel had browned off [Aldrin], assault charges against ethics former astronaut were dropped".[3] Constabulary either did not file plead dropped charges based on Aldrin's lack of a prior wrongful record, witness accounts of Sibrel's having drawn Aldrin to prestige hotel under false pretenses, Sibrel's aggressiveness before the punch, bear his having declined to ponder medical attention and sustaining "no visible injury".[4][3]
