The Strange Story Of The Israeli Flag That Neil Armstrong Allegedly Took To The Moon And Back

Back in the 1970s, the Jewish-Israeli press reported that for some unexplained reason, Apollo 11 astronaut, Neil Armstrong, carried a small Israeli flag with him all the way to the moon and back — and that it was ultimately presented as a gift to the Israeli President on behalf of President Richard Nixon:

At a short ceremony on April 19, 1970, Israel received a rare gift – two pieces of the moon brought back on the successful Apollo 11 mission to the lunar surface, which was headed by Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in July 1969.

The rocks were presented at the time to Prime Minister Golda Meir and President Zalman Shazar by U.S. Ambassador Walworth Barbour on behalf of U.S. President Richard Nixon, but when it came to dusting them off recently as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations for the moon landing, no one actually seems to know where they are.

But it's not just the Israelis that are desperately seeking their little pieces of the moon.

Officials all across the globe – and even in the U.S. itself – are hunting for the hundreds of moon rocks handed out as gifts to to world leaders and American governors.

Of the two rocks presented to Israel in 1970, one was placed in container, sealed with a glass lid, and put on displayed at the Eretz Yisrael Museum in Tel Aviv.

A small Israeli flag taken into space by the American Aldrin and Armstrong was returned along with the rocks, as well as a letter from Nixon reading: "This flag of your nation was carried to the Moon and back by Apollo 11 and this fragment of the Moon's surface was brought to Earth by the crew of that first manned lunar landing."

The second moon rock was given to Prime Minister Golda Meir.

Several years later, in July 1973, a third piece of the moon – from the Apollo 17 mission – was given to President Efraim Katzir. This was the last manned Apollo mission to the moon.

So where are Israel's moon rocks today? The Justice Ministry, which is responsible for cataloging all gifts given to the state says: "The Civil Service Law (Gifts) wasn't enacted until 1979, therefore, gifts given to public employees were not transferred to the custodian general."

No one in the President's Residence in Jerusalem or in any other government ministries seems to know where the three rocks are. The United States Embassy in Jerusalem didn't respond a request on the subject from Ynet.

Oddly, a story that appeared in the Jewish Telegraphic Agency circa 1974 claimed that the Israeli flag was on Apollo 17, but made no mention of the flag on the previous Apollo 11 mission:

A tiny piece of moon rock brought back by the final Apollo mission and a small Israeli flag which the American astronauts carried to and from the moon were presented to President Ephraim Katzir yesterday as a gift from President Nixon. The presentation was made by the U.S. Charge d'affaires Owen Zurhellen at the President's residence here.

Zurhellen conveyed Nixon's request that the moon fragment be displayed at an Israeli museum. Katzir said such an exhibition was under consideration. The Israeli President, who is a scientist, described the moon rock as "a symbol of American scientific genius and achievement." He said he did not know of any accepted formula for expressing thanks "for receipt of a piece of the moon," adding, "It's quite an extraordinary gift."
