You're right, it's my website. I just wanted to get some objective comments before saying too much about it. But now that I've received rave reviews (so far!) I'd like to thank those who posted such nice comments. And for those who want to flame the site, well, thank you for proving it's still a free country.
Jrkeller, I'd studied as14-68-9486 but hadn't noticed before that thin slanted shadow of Al Shepard. Thanks for pointing it out. It does alter my theory somewhat, although I still think rising ground plays a part in affecting the LM's shadow. It just goes to show how shadows can play tricks on uneven ground, and the danger of drawing hasty conclusions from jpegs. I'll be posting an update soon (along with the correct spelling of Shepard!)
You can see this is not a full-blown debunk site -- that would be too ambitious, and there's no point repeating the efforts of people more qualified than I. I call it a "poor man's Ian Goddard site," using simpler equipment and far less skill so that anyone can duplicate the experiments.
The site's been several years in the thinking and making, and I'm still tweaking it. Besides rooting out typos and trying to improve the aesthetics, I have several more "illusions" to add, along with a number of diatribes to post in my spare moments. If anyone finds any error in fact or simpler explanations than my theories, please let me know.
