You will find that the LM-15, the Phoenix spacecraft according to William Rutledge, has never flown and was scrapped. W. Rutledge knows this detail of official space history, and has pointed out in the interview (see answer nr.13).

THE PRESUMED FLIGHT COURSE OF THE PHOENIX LUNAR MODULE BEFORE DESCENT
RELEASED CONTROVERSIAL FOOTAGE ON YOUTUBE: LEAK OF INFORMATION OR SKILFULL FAKE?

I am honoured to introduce you to the work by Haim Ram Bar-Ilan, the Israeli designer and artist who has already translated from English into Hebrew my interview to William Rutledge. You can find the interview on my website pages. See the link "interviews".
William Rutledge, whose nickname on YouTube is "retiredafb",
has been claiming his identity since last Spring 2007: a former
civilian test pilot on various aircrafts, born in Belgium in 1930 and
employed in the last century with Avro, Chance Vought and USAF.
In August 1976 W. Rutledge was, according his testimony granted to me
in an interview, the Commander (CDR) of the Apollo 20
crew. That secret space mission was, always according to the
Rutledge's testimony, a joint US and Soviet mission that followed by
just over a year the joint Apollo-Soyuz Test Project (ASTP), taken place in July 1975.
Since April 2007 W. Rutledge added on YouTube several video footages
which would come from the documentation material of that mission. One
of them on YouTube has the following title:<<ALIEN SPACESHIP ON THE MOON flyover bef. landing APOLLO 20>>.
I have already discussed the video footage, that lasts 5 minutes and 53
seconds. At a certain point I could recognize what, in my opinion, is
the western border of the Fermi crater (a walled plane). It seems that
the direction of the LM-15 is from Northeast to Southwest. You can read
my report entitled <<Lunar Coordinates of the Alien Spaceship and Feature of the Fermi Walled Plane>>.
Haim Ram Bar-Ilan (nicknamed "Rami") has recently identified, in the video spread by W. Rutledge, the Lutke crater. Here you are on this web page his first-rate reconstruction of the presumed flight course of the LM-15, the Phoenix
Lunar Module. It would be the last revolution before descent. And as a
matter of fact, in the subtitles which go with the frames, we can read:
<<[...] and below os Lutke>>.
Of course "os" is a mistake: it would mean "us". The subtitles, W.
Rutledge told us, were not made by him (see the interview). And, we can
add, not made by an English mother tongue either.
There
are some controversial aspects in the Rutledge's testimony and
material. But I am convinced that the story deserves our attention.
Above all because of some difficulties I have met in doing my
researches as journalist (for the moment I prefer not to spread them to
the public).
Moreover, if the Apollo 19 (mysteriously
failed with "a loss of telemetry") and the Apollo 20 did take place
indeed, we should be very careful because it could begin a mass
psychological warfare campaign to destroy the testimony that William
Rutledge gave us. If he is honest, we must remember he is risking his
life, maybe. I like sharing my thoughts and considerations with some
intelligent and honest people of the world: we have concluded together
that because in the '70 years there was a huge and cigar-shaped object
leant on the far side of the Moon, on this one piece of evidence,
Natural Reason and Natural Law standing alone proves that we did go
there. Thirtyone years ago, man had the capability to go there. We knew
about the object from reconnaissance (by the Apollo 15 and Apollo 17
crews for sure, and perhaps even by the Soviet space probes).
Under Natural Law and Natural Reason, mankind had the duty, as a
categorical imperative, to go there and investigate the mysterious
object. You can be sure that it did happen. If it was not Apollo 20, it
was some other secret space mission. And if somebody is skeptical about
it, I invite him/her to read the Brookings' report, prepared in
November 1960 by the Brookings Institution Washington, D.C.: <<Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Activities for Human Affairs>>, The report, prepared for NASA, was introduced to the Committe on Science and Astronautics by the House of Representatives of U.S.A. In the documents we can read:
<<[…]
Historical and empirical studies of the behavior of peoples and their
leaders when confronted with dramatic and unfamiliar events or social
pressures. Such studies might help to provide programs for meeting and
adjusting to the implications of such a discovery. Questions one might
wish to answer by such studies would include: How might such
information, under what cirucumstances, be presented or withheld from
the public for what ends? What might be the role of the discovering
scientists and other decisionmakers regarding release of the fact of
discovery?>>
from pag. 216, ibidem
So it is clear that in the past somebody suggested several approaches
and strategies about the steps to do in case of discovery of
extraterrestrial intelligence in our Solar System. Included the
possibility to withhold the truth of such a discovery "from the
public."

APOLLO 20", video added by "retiredafb" on YouTube.
Far side of the Moon
Nose: 17.3 deg S, 117.62 deg E;
Cockpit: 17.25 deg S, 117.62 deg E;
Base: 17.20 deg S, 117.62 deg E;
Are the coordinates right? Were they given inverted? The longitude is
coherent with the position of the huge object (approximately 4 km long,
according to the subtitles of the YouTube video added by "retiredafb"
(W. Rutledge). The problem is with the latitude: not with the latitude
data, but with their reference to the major parts of the presumed
"alien spaceship". Because we can see the base of the object is to the
South of the nose, we should have, in my opinion, their reversal.
It would be helpful to listen the original radio communication.
The marks for the CSM DSKY are from the transcription of the presumed
dialogues between the Apollo 20 CDR and the Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The Phoenix crew members, according to the "retiredafb"'s
testimony, were A. Leonov and W. Rutledge. The base of the "alien
spaceship" (the huge object shown in the image) is buried.
