NASA has created many secrets in plain sight. I blogged a bit about Apollo 11 in a previous post, in relation to why 11 “happened to be” the first mission to officially land a man on the moon.
Did you know the Apollo 11 astronauts brought some very interesting flags to the moon? Of course they left the Stars and Stripes (whose numerical symbolism I go into in my NY Part 2 video), but here is some little-known evidence of two other flags that went to the Moon on Apollo 11 which were returned to Earth:
The Vatican City Flag
As the fine print reads President Richard Nixon presented this flag to “the people of Vatican City” which was carried to the Moon by Apollo 11 and returned along with some moon fragments pictured at the top.
The Scottish Rite Flag
The cover of Richard Hoagland and Mike Bara’s book depicts the flag mentioned in Aldrin’s above letter, although they may have Photoshopped it over the US flag for dramatic effect. I don’t hold it against them as NASA has sure done a lot of airbrushing themselves (airbrushing is what people did in the old days before Photoshop).
The authors have say this in their eye opening book:
However, if you looked closely at the sky over the Apollo 11 landing site, 33 minutes after Landing, not only was Sirius (“Isis”) at 19.5 degrees…[the tetrahedral angle] but, so was the constellation of “Columba”—from which St. Columba and the Apollo 11 Command Module both ultimately drew their names. “The Dove” came with its own sets of coded “double meanings”—relating to ancient Egyptian systems for measuring the Earth, and “previous, now destroyed, ancient civilizations” (one version of which even shows up in the Old Testament, as the familiar Noah story of “releasing a dove after the Great Flood”)…. -Dark Mission page 252
Doves
Doves and pigeons constitute the bird family Columbidae.
Egyptians used to mummify birds, Celtic priestesses used to talk to birds to foretell the future in their sacred groves, in ancient Rome augurs would observe natural signs, especially the behavior of doves, interpreting these as an indication of divine approval or disapproval of a proposed action.
Ornithomancy (Gk. οἰωνίζομαι) is an Ancient Greek practice of reading omens from the actions of birds, equivalent to the Augury employed by the ancient Romans. Although it was mainly the flights and songs of birds that were studied, any action could have been interpreted to either foretell the future or relate a message from the gods. These omens were considered with the utmost seriousness by Greeks and Romans alike.

This casts a new light on things such as the Space Shuttle Columbia, the District of Columbia, Columbia University, the Goddess Columbia, the country of Columbia, and of course Christopher Columbus himself.
Columbus may very well have been the last Templar. See here and here.
Yes I am trying to learn the Language of the Birds but so far I hear only cheeps and squawks:
In mythology, medieval literature and occultism, the language of the birds is postulated as a mystical, perfect divine language, green language, adamic language, enochian language, angelic language or a mythical or magical language used by birds to communicate with the initiated.

Excuse me but a little bird told me to go feed the pigeons…
Thanks to Cort Lindahl for some of the above avian connections.
The Orion Connection
What does the Orion constellation have to do with the Greek Sun god Apollo? Pretty much nothing at first glance. But wait, what’s this?
The original Apollo mission insignia depicts the Orion constellation:
The ancient Egyptians saw Orion as Osiris, Lord of the Dead. Osiris was father to Horus, god of the Sun, just like Apollo was Sun god to the Greeks.
The much more recent Orion spacecraft has this insignia highlighting the three belt stars:
Robert Bauval and Adrian Gilbert connect the belt stars of Orion to the three pyramids of Giza in their famous book The Orion Mystery:
Here’s another Apollo mission patch that I find intriguing:
What does Stonehenge have to do with NASA and the Apollo missions to the Moon?
Nothing on the literal level and everything on the occult level.
See my Stonehenge episode for more info on how ancient Egypt is connected to this oldest of temples in the UK.
Note also the galactic cross centered in the night sky. This reminds me of the Galactic Cross written about here.
…and the Royal portals at Chartres Cathedral which is covered in my Chartres Part 2 episode.
The four winged beasts of the apocalypse or evangelists as they became known correspond with the astrological signs Aquarius, Scorpio (ancient symbol was a bird), Taurus, and Leo. Jesus sits inside a vesica pisces in the royal portal (central entry of Chartres). Here is another depiction:
