History

The Honduras Apollo 17 "goodwill Moon rocks" plaque display came into the possession of retired colonel Roberto Agurcia Ugarte; it is unclear how Ugarte obtained it.[1] Ugarte put the plaque up for sale, covering the stars of the Honduras flag to conceal the plaque's origin.[1] Alan Rosen, a Florida fruit distributor, purchased it from Ugarte for what he claims was $50,000 in 1996.[1][2]

In 1998 Rosen attempted to sell the rock and was caught in a sting operation, Operation Lunar Eclipse; U.S. Government agents recovered the rock.[1][3][4][5]

A lawsuit filed against Rosen, United States v. One Lucite Ball Containing Lunar Material (One Moon Rock) and One Ten Inch by Fourteen Inch Wooden Plaque,[6] was settled in 2003. Rosen forfeited the Honduras Apollo 17 lunar sample plaque display, which was presented in 2004 to Honduran President Ricardo Maduro.[1][3] The Honduras Apollo 17 goodwill Moon rock plaque, of as 2012, is on display in Tegucigalpa at Centro Interactivo Chiminike.[7]

According to Robert Pearlman, the whereabouts of the Honduras Apollo 11 goodwill lunar display are unknown.[8]
