Aldrin punches moon conspiracy theorist
- Thread starter Porfiry

Bart Sibrel is not just your average Joe off the streets. He has been crying “hoax!” over the moon landings for years. He is either out to make a buck or has issues with federal authority. It would be interesting to watch the WHOLE video to see if there was any true provocation that led to the incident. I would have sworn on the bible and walked away laughing at the meaninglessness of the gesture.
Aggression is never the answer but hey… Sibrel is a big man, and punched out by a 62 year-old dude… let’s check the embarrassment factor as motivation for calling the police!
Peace.

It takes 20 years or more of peace to make a man;
it takes only 20 seconds of war to destroy him.

Correction, Buzz is 72 years old.
Here is the video (you don't have to pay to view it like on ABC).
This is not the first incident with Bart Sibrel harassing Apollo astronauts. He was arrested a couple of years ago for trespassing on Neil Armstrong's property, which lead to him losing his job as a cameraman with NBC. He's also confronted Aldrin before. He uses paparazzi style ambushes and lies to get the astronauts to grant him interviews.
A few months ago he started accosting Apollo astronauts again trying to get them to swear on the Bible. He told Ed Mitchell (LMP, Apollo 14) that he was with the Discovery Channel, however, Mitchell did swear on the Bible that he walked on the moon when Sibrel confronted him with his hoax rubbish. This is one incident which was probably a spree of him confronting several Apollo astronauts.
In the video we can see that Sibrel called Aldrin a liar and a coward (and a thief?) right before he got punched. Sibrel even had a member of his own camera crew restraining him after he'd been punched to stop him from following Aldrin.
In this CNN Article, it claims that "The police spokesman added that witnesses have come forward stating that they saw Sibrel aggressively poke Aldrin with a Bible and that Sibrel had lured Aldrin to the hotel under false pretenses so that he could interview him."
