Neil Armstrong was not the first being on the moon.
That, at any rate, is the position of the suitably sci-fi sounding Project Disclosure that launched a campaign in Washington on Wednesday.
It is aimed at persuading the US Congress to hold hearings on the existence of unidentified flying objects and extra-terrestrials.
The campaign believes the US Government has known about the existence of UFOs for over 50 years but has been trying to hide it.
'Alien life forms'
It was surely the strangest ever news conference hosted by Washington's august National Press Club.
Donna Hare was just one of over 20 witnesses, most of them ex-military, and all deadly serious.
I was involved in situations where we actually did recoveries of crashed saucers.

Among them was former Army Sergeant, Clifford Stone, who said the US Government had tried to suppress what he had seen one strange day in Pennsylvania, back in 1969.
"I was involved in situations where we actually did recoveries of crashed saucers. There were bodies that were involved with some of these crashes. Also some of these were alive," he said.
"While we were doing this, we were telling the American public there was nothing to it. We were telling the world there was nothing to it," Mr Stone added.
So what, we all wondered, did they look like? Were these visitors from another world the antennaed, hideous, slime-trailing creatures of science fiction?
"You have individuals that look very much like you and myself, that could walk among us and you wouldn't even notice the difference," he said.
He claimed to have catalogued 57 different species of alien life forms.
