According to Dutch scientists, a moon rock that was given as a gift to the Dutch government by the U.S. in 1969 is just a piece of petrified wood. No response from NASA as of yet as to why they tried to pass off petrified wood to world governments as a “moon rock”. From the article:
A treasured piece of moon rock showcased in a key Amsterdam museum is nothing but petrified wood, museum authorities said of a gift made to a former Dutch prime minister by a US envoy.
The exhibit at the Rijksmuseum, was originally gifted to Willem Drees in 1969 by then US ambassador William Middendorf as a souvenir of a pathbreaking trip by three US astronauts on July 20, 1969.
Lets the conspiracies begin!
