I think my friend must be joking.

There are publicity shots of Armstrong among other standing in a space suit and holding a helmet. It wouldn't be too hard to photoshop one of these onto an existing Apollo 11 landing site image.
I can tell you, having watched the footage and listened live to the radio chatter of that moon walk that the described event did not happen. Your friend is either joking, or fell for a hoax.
Ask him for a link to the image, and start a new thread in the Conspiracy Theories section after you get it. The members here will give a good quick analysis of the image.
