In his 2001 documentary, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Moon, Sibrel states the Moon landings were faked. Sibrel has recycled many of his assertions from other hoax proponents, including the technical difficulty of crossing the Van Allen radiation belts and supposed anomalies in the photographs taken on the moon. Sibrel has no known expertise as either a radiation sickness specialist, or as a Photographer. Sibrel's arguments for faking the moon landings are rife with numerous logical fallacies, including Arguments from Ignorance and incredulity as well as Appeal to probability. The film features Sibrel-edited footage which he states was accidentally sent to him from NASA. According to Sibrel, was evidence from that film shows that the Apollo 11 astronauts were staging shots of the Earth to make it appear that the spacecraft was en route to the Moon when it was actually, according to Sibrel, still in low Earth orbit.
