I've not seen it so it doesn't exist to me!

This is the movie you're talking about.I think the nay-sayers were impressed by an excellent movie about a faked space mission. I think James Brolin played the lead role.
How come this topic keeps going and going....?
Nobody has come close to debunking this.

(2 minute 35 second mark)
The missions were tracked by Soviet Union, UK and probably other countries.
If you look at the beginning of the video when the astronaut is right next to the flag, you'll see that the size of his arm is a lot smaller than it was when he's walking by the flag at the 2 minute 36 second mark He's at least three feet away from the flag.Maybe his pack brushed the flag?
If that were the case the horizontal rod that supports the flag would be moving too. I see no movement in the rod.Maybe stomping the soil near the pole caused it to flex, and wave a little?
Just because we read that it happened doesn't mean it really happened.The missions were tracked by Soviet Union, UK and probably other countries. ”
Australia too, have you seen the film 'The Dish', it's a light comedy about the Australian crew that manned the Australian Parkes radio telescope that kept communication with Apollo 11 when the American radiotelescopes were obscured by the Earth?
The press is controlled. There probably have been people talking but if nothing appears in the press, it didn't happen.Do conspiracy theorists have any idea of how many people would have to be shutup to supress knowledge of the alleged Roswell incidents and the alleged moon landing hoax?

Basically the flag moved because the free outermost lower corner was effectively a pendulum, and there was nothing to stop it moving once started.NASA designed a telescoping horizontal support that would hinge to the top of the pole. The flag itself was a commercially available nylon flag. A hem was sewn into the top edge into which the horizontal crossbar could be slid. The astronaut deployed the flag by driving the steel-tipped aluminum pole into the surface, then raising the crossbar on its hinge until it locked into the horizontal position. He could then extend the telescoping segment of the crossbar to support the entire width of the flag.
The flag was held oustretched by the crossbar through the top hem. The inner bottom corner was fastened to the pole. The outer bottom corner is free to move. The astute reader will have recognized this as a type of pendulum.
The astronauts said it was hard to drive the pole into the lunar surface. [Ibid.] Apollo 11 had no means of hammering it in. In later missions they reinforced the top of the pole so that a geology hammer could be used to drive it. During the process the flag pole was twisted in the fashion of a drill bit to bore it into the denser layers. Twisting the pole would cause the outer tip of the crossbar to describe an arc with a radius of about five feet (1.5 meters). The free corner of the flag, suspended from the tip, could whip back and forth.
In an atmosphere this motion would be impeded ("damped" in engineering terms) by air resistance. But on the moon there is no resistance from air to the pendulum motion of the flimsy fabric.
In these instances the astronaut has just let go of the flagpole. The flagpole and its horizontal rod are bouncing, resonating in response to the residual motion from the astronaut's manipulation. If the wind is causing this motion then why are the flagpole and horizontal rod moving (bouncing), but the flag itself doesn't move at all? And why, in any of these cases, is there no secondary indication of wind such as blowing insulation on the lunar module or dust raised by the wind.
The flag is off-balance when the pole is perfectly vertical. It is balanced when tilted back slightly. Frequently the crossbar will rotate slightly just after being released by the astronaut, much as the door of an off-balance refrigerator will find its own equilibrium point.
If anybody did talk about it there, it wouldn't appear in the American press.The press is controlled. There probably have been people talking but if nothing appears in the press, it didn't happen. ”
What? ...At the height of the cold war, America controlled Russian media, the government, Chinese Media and the government....????
They aren't discussing this particular case of the flag moving. In this case the flag moved at the precise moment at which it would be expected to move in atmosphere if somebody walked past it.The website Clavius has the answer to the rippling flag conundrum, and to every other question which has been raised aboiut the Apollo missions.
