Yep, they kept this pretty quiet...they've been looking for the stuff for over two years...the interesting history of what we saw back in '69 was the fact that the data rate of the information coming back from the moon was so slow that the tape they used and were looking for was actually 1" data tape, slow-scanned video (10-frames/second, non-interlaced) (normal video tape, in '69, was 30-frames/second, interlaced), and that video had to share space on that tape with 13 other data tracks (most of the data was space-ship parameters and telemetry...)

What we saw at home was the video from a camera, pointed at a video screen of the "demodulated" 10-frames/second video/audio being shown at the space-center...that was the "Hi-Tech" version of a standards converter from that day...

Sorta' like making a cassette recording of your favorite record from your sister's "Close & Play" record player...holding the microphone up to the speaker...
