One of the many contradictions of Moon hoax theories is that some claim that the Apollo landings never happened, while others argue that the Apollo flights not only did happen but even encountered extraterrestrial spacecraft and there were even secret missions to the Moon.
It’s important to be acquainted with these theories of secret flights and alien encounters, because they are part of the classic repertoire of hardcore conspiracy theorists and reveal very clearly the typical errors of the conspiracist mindset.
Most importantly, however, they’re very amusing to bring up in a Moon hoax discussion and then watch the ensuing colorful argument among the various factions of conspiracy theorists.
