Andy Chaikin found Sibrel's "secret" footage on the Apollo 11 3-disc set available from SpaceCraftFilms.com. From what I can see, that footage has been in the public domain since the flight.
I listened to Sibrel's "documentary" (ack gag), went to the part Sibrel describes as his "smoking gun" and found astronaut dialogue that contained easy-to-search-for words so Andy could look for them easily in the flight dialogue transcripts.
For example, in one part of Sibrel's video you hear an astronaut describing weather on Earth. I gave Andy the key words and within a few seconds he found the right part of the transcript. The time mark for the dialogue led him to the correct video clip, and voila! The raw footage of the astronauts.
Just in case Mr. Sibrel is wily enough to come here and read this board, I'll hold off until later describing what we did from there. [img]/phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

If his sales go up on his video, I might write a more thorough page on it. I talked with Andy Chaikin (an Apollo expert) last night for a couple of hours, and we found evidence that totally blows Mr. Sibrel's video out of the water. His "secret reel" is actually in the public domain, for one thing, and has been available for a long time. He edits out important parts of the astronauts' footage which shows they truly are on their way to the Moon, for another.

Is there any chance that you could divulge what you and Andy Chaikin discovered, by email? I'd be very interested to hear more about the "important parts of the astronauts' footage which shows they truly are on their way to the Moon, for another". Perhaps any other interested members of the board could add their email address here to get a copy of the email?
