Moon hoax theorist 'under attack' for 'exposing truth' about lunar landings
A "MOON hoax" researcher claims he has come under attack for exposing anomalies in NASA footage that he claims could show the lunar landings were filmed in a studio.
The Scottish researcher, behind YouTube conspiracy theory channel Streetcap1 told Express.co.uk he had received threats since posting new videos about his "findings."
In one video, as revealed by Express.co.uk, he suggested the Apollo missions footage on the Moon could have been filmed in a studio, after spotting what he claimed could be the reflection of a "stagehand" in one of the astronaut's visors.
The story went viral and was picked up by media across the globe, and how video has been viewed more than 2.2million times.
In a second video, published just days later, he suggested that footage of a lunar buggy on the Moon may have been edited, to remove a few seconds of movement.

He theorised this may have been because the film crew had to rush on set to give it a push.
His claims were widely criticised by sceptics as being nonsense, with many pointing out that the figure in the reflection looked like another astronaut.
He was also accused of jumping to wild conclusions about the short gap in buggy footage with no evidence to support his supposition.
However, he said he had been threatened for daring to challenge NASA over the Moon missions.

Moon hoax conspiracy theorists say a desperate President John F Kennedy, who wanted to beat the Russians in the space race to the moon, ordered the production of a series of films in top-secret studios to make it look like NASA astronauts made it to the lunar surface, when it still wasn't possible.
At the heart of the theory are claims that the radioactive Van Allen belt around Earth would have been lethal to fly through.
Hundreds of moon hoax ‘truthers’ also claim to have found so-called anomalies in NASA video and images taken on the Moon.
NASA does not comment on individual hoax claims but maintains the missions were real and we have been to the Moon.
