It's not green cheese, but it might as well be. The Dutch national museum said Thursday that one of its prized possessions, a rock supposedly brought back from the moon by U.S. astronauts, is just a piece of petrified wood.Read the Yahoo News article
Curators at Amsterdam's Rijksmuseum, where the rock has attracted tens of thousands of visitors each year, discovered that the "lunar rock", valued at £308,000, was in fact petrified wood. Xandra van Gelder, who oversaw the investigation, said the museum would continue to keep the stone as a curiosity.

It is as if they now know it is impossible to keep this ruse going.. So they're just slowly admitting it one step at a time.
The moon's surface is black with a reflectivity similar to coal.
That means that if you stand on an asphalt road or car park or a similar place and brought in enough light as to make the asphalt appear white, then you'd have a similar lighting scheme to the moon.
In these conditions where something as black and (non)reflective as coal is made white by such a bright light source, can you imagine what coloured or reflective things, like cars for example, would look like?
How would shadows appear in such conditions? The area beneath a large object such as a car would be dead black and a shadow cast by a small object, say a man, would be near insignificant.
The whole spectrum of colour you'd operate within would be very bright indeed.
- Do we see such conditions in the moon landing tapes?
