When the Yanks proudly announced that the Eagle had landed 50 years ago they received one helluva of shock which has never been revealed until now : screeching Australian Cockatoos were already there , the above sensational photograph showing two of them cheekily sitting on the helmet of astronaut Neil Armstrong !!! They then proceeded to taunt NASA and Houston by acting the goat in front of the camera supposed to capture this truly extraordinary moment in the world's history .
The Honeysuckle Creek tracking station in Australia was instantly ordered not to relay our cosmic scoop images of the pesky Australians on the Moon . There is no truth in a rumour put about by lunar landing deniers that the Cockatoos were snapped by Vallis while they were actually performing on a streetlamp at a busy intersection in downtown Townsville .
