The Blue-Glowing Astronauts

From:
http://www.orgonelab.org/astronautblues.htm

Shortly after the November 1969 Apollo 12 mission to the moon had returned back to Earth, Life Magazine published on the front cover of it's 12 December 1969 issue, a striking photo of astronaut Alan Bean walking on the Lunar surface, with a brilliant blue-glowing energy field enveloping him. That spectacular photo -- reproduced below and taken by fellow astronaut Charles Conrad using a hand-held 70mm Hasselblad film camera -- created quite a stir of interest, not only regarding the Apollo program itself, but also as to the nature of the mysterious blue glow. I remember seeing that photo as a teen. Years later, I came across the photo in a set of NASA space-program images sold commercially, and later still a friend gave me a used copy of that original Life Magazine issue. Below I reproduce the central portions of that same photograph, obtained from NASA archives.

Re: The Blue-Glowing Astronauts

Could be a dirty Polarizer filter on the cam.

Re: The Blue-Glowing Astronauts

The camera is getting solar glare of the reflective suit of the astronaut. The astronauts only ever landed on the moon during the day part of the moons cycle( a moons "day" consists of 16 days) and the sun reflected off most of the objects there.
They also developed this film not digital cameras which everyone seems to base or hold to the standards of when it comes to the moon landings. The Hasselblad 70 mm were cutting edge and still realistically high in definition to today's standards but they were still after all film and needing to be developed and the mistakes and image reducing defects that come with it as well!

come on... The blue flare is the reason, why the FDA killed Wilhelm Reich 1957.... He had a explanation: ORGON

By the way they burned his books in public... 1957 in the land of the free...
