 On April 12th 1961, Yuri Gagarin was officially the first man ever sent to space. |
 Gagarin was much celebrated and became a legend in USSR. He died tragically in an accident in strange conditions. |
A little before, the soviets had tried to send a rocket with a man aboard to space, but the flight failed; the rocket could not be put in orbit (what the NASA engineers confirmed), and the cosmonaut made a brutal return to earth. He got serious wounds, and was sent to China to heal his wounds; to hide the failure, the russians authorities said he had had an accident. The Russians had lost a trained man and a space ship, and the time was running short: The Americans were about to send their own first man to space. Miraculously, the Russians managed the exploit, to beat the Americans in the space race, and send the first man ever in space. But did they? |
 Just some days later, rumors of hoax began to spread. The doubters were outlining many anomalies about this flight. The article shown here comes form the newspaper "Palm beach post" dated April 19th 1961. Here are some excerpts.   |
And here is an article from another newspaper "Lewingston Evening Journal" dated May 12th 1961   |
 These articles show that Gagarin's flight was surrounded with many anomalies that the soviet authorities gave no explanations about. These anomalies are going to be described in what follows. |
 First, just before the departure, the hatch was reopened for an unexplained reason. |
 Then, and it's the main point, It seems Gagarin was systematically announcing the events much before they were really occurring. |
 Gagarin announced he was flying over South America whereas he had not still covered the third of the distance separating his departure point from South America! Indeed, he made this announcement less than a quarter of an hour after he departed, and he was needing at least three quarters of an hour to reach it (this is what his successors needed). |
 Then whereas he was still at an altitude of 200 miles, he announced he could clearly see the fields and collective farms (kolkhozes) |
 To give you an idea what an altitude of 200 miles means, here is a view extracted from Google earth at an altitude of 200 miles: On it you can see several departments of France! How could one distinguish things as minute as fields and farms? In fact, it was most probable that it was a tape-machine which was talking, and not Gagarin, and that this tape-machine would have started too early, which would explain the time shift between the oral transmission and the actual position of the space ship! |
 And there is also this strange contradiction of Gagarin saying he had a nice view of the earth through the porthole... ...Whereas the russian space rocket chief said his space ship had no porthole! |
 And finally, instead to returning to earth normally like Alan Shepard did, that is inside his cabin (the only way to have the flight accredited) ...  . ..Gagarin descended like a simple parachutist...  ...while his space ship (Vostok) was crashing on the ground. And still more strange, Gagarin landed exactly at the place he used to do his parachute trainings! |
 In fact, it seems very probable that Gagarin was dropped from a plane. |
 Another strange thing: On this official picture of Gagarin taken just before he departed, he has a bruise at an eye he only got some months later in an accident! |
 Gagarin also wrote in his memoirs ie had a blue space suit, when the officials said he had an orange one! How is it possible to forget such a thing? |
 This official photo shows Gagarin under four angles in his cabin...but his cabin only had two TV cameras! How could they take photos under these four angles? |
 Before all these anomalies, an illinois representative, Roman Pucinski said it was not possible to accept this exploit without clarification from the Russians. He urged Kennedy to temporize, and get answers from the Russians before accepting the exploit as valid. |
 But Kennedy did nothing such; he said the trackings were corrects (when much to the contrary they were clearly showing the time shift between the oral transmission of the actual position of the ship), and phoned to Krutchev to congratulate him about Gagarin's exploit! |
 And three weeks later, on may 5th 1961, the Americans were launching their first man to space, Alan Shepard, and almost certainly the very first man to space. |
 So, why did the Americans accept to lose the honor title of having the first man sent to space, when they had all the cards in hand to prove the Russian hoax? Would they really have accepted that without a compensation from the Russians, and for something bigger than sending a first man to space? |
 And some weeks later after the pseudo gagarin exploit, Kennedy makes a speech announcing that the Americans would put a man on the moon before the end of the decade! Before the end of the decade? How could he be so sure?  When the difficulties were so great, and the technology still so primitive, not only compared with the technology of today, but even with the technology of the end of this decade! Nobody was still imagining at that time that the microprocessor would exist! |
 What is one of the main piece of evidence that the Apollo believers are presenting? "If it had been a hoax, the Russians would have seen it, and would have exposed it, especially in these times of cold war!" Now, what do you think it would have happened with the Gagarin hoax, with all the proofs the Americans had, the recordings of the flight, if the Russians had talked about Apollo? And losing Gagarin as the first man in space, a legend, would have been catastrophic for the Russians!  And those who saw what benefit they could take from the Gagarin hoax perfectly knew it. Some people in the American government, took the big head, and got dizzy about this very bad set-up from the Russians. |
So Gagarin at the origin of the Apollo project? You decide! |
