Bart Sibrel

Bart Winfield Sibrel (born 1964 or 1965 (age 58–59)) is an American conspiracy theorist who has written, produced, and directed suggesting that the Apollo Moon landings between 1969 and 1972 were staged by NASA under the control of the CIA (Moon landing conspiracy theories). He has written, produced, and directed four independent films promoting the ideas, with the first being the 2001 film A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon.

In his works, Sibrel films himself asking various Apollo astronauts to put their hand on the Bible and swear that they walked on the Moon. In the case of the Apollo 11 astronaut Buzz Aldrin, whom Sibrel arranged to meet on a false pretense, outside the Luxe Hotel in Beverly Hills, the interaction resulted in Aldrin punching Sibrel, which brought him significant publicity. However, no criminal charges were filed against Aldrin.
