Fear of the Unknown

Aliens from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"  Credit: Columbia Pictures

 Let's face it: fear is a factor in accepting the reality of extraterrestrial life.

Even a UFO enthusiast who is dying to have a UFO sighting him or herself, might think twice - or thrice - about welcoming an opportunity to come face to face with an alien being. We may get a scare just meeting with a stranger in the woods or even on a busy city street - for it is only natural to feel most comfortable with the most familiar, and the least comfortable with what is least known. So to face something totally unknown to us that clearly seems otherwordly, would surely be for most of us a totally shocking experience, and one which we in hindsight might want to be without. Totally and absolutely without.

Of course, once the unknown would become more known, more common, the fear factor would change. It would become less and less shocking to encounter an alien lifeform, and with increasing media exposure the social scene would expand to involve such encounters. But until that happens, the fear alone makes sceptics of some of us, and indifferent of the rest of us who haven't got any experience to back up the knowing - or an open mind to accept that which hasn't been witnessed yet. To accept another's reality may be hard even with ordinary stuff, let alone the extraordinary or the otherwordly. And since the UFOs are most probably flown by someone, the mere idea of the existence of alien crafts poses a psychological threat. And fear breeds aggression, scorn and ridicule. That's what we just have to contend with - the rest of us.

And when they do appear, they may not be as kind and childlike as in the above picture from Close Encounters of the Third Kind - but a bit scarier and demanding of their own space here on Earth. Who knows what it would be like! Here is how space.com suggests we should interact with the extraterrestrials. What do you think?

This Side of Moon & UFOs

Updated 27.11.2013 Our constant companion, the Moon, is fascinating to look at! Some of us simply never get tired of it! It is especially rewarding to watch with a good set of binoculars, or preferably a telescope. And with a good camera ready to take some shots or video! And in order to have a good and steady view and get sharp pictures you must have a tripod of course.
This page will have links to videos and photographs taken and kindly provided by ordinary citizens and some professionals as well. Some of them are simply amazing - and with some there are doubts about the authenticity. This article deals solely with the possible/already proven alien presence on the Moon, and presents photographs and videos taken where we can discern something that we either clearly can call a UFO or at some instances (perhaps) man-made satellite or probe.

When Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon in July 1969, HAM radio operators receiving the VHF signals picked up this conversation (screened by NASA from the public):
Mission Control: "What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11."
Apollo 11: "These babies are huge, sir ... enormous....Oh, God, you wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other space craft out there... lined up on the far side of the crater edge... they're on the moon watching us." - ThinkQuest -

For all the secrecy, it might be worth your while picking up that telescope, and keeping an eye on the Moon. Who knows what interesting things you might be able to see! And in case you can film and share it with the rest of the world, even better! Sooner or later these things won't be a matter of ridicule, but of wonder and amazement.

HISTORICAL SIGHTINGS
Strange things have been observed on and around the Moon, even long before the space age.
1671 The French astronomer Giovanni Cassini reported seeing a white cloud hovering over the lunar surface.
1787- Two astronomers report seeing lightning above the lunar surface.
1877 A streak of white light across the Moon was observed for more than an hour.
1915-0423 A beam of light is seen inside the Clavius Crater - the third largest crater this side of the Moon - YouTube:AlienMoon(8m49s)
1953- A science editor of the New York Herald Tribune reports having seen a 12-mile long structure, possibly a bridge, on the edge of the Mare Crisium Crater. This structure could have been caused by volcanic activity. British astronomers Dr. H.P. Wilkins and Sir Patrick Moore both confessed that the so-called bridge had just popped up from nowhere. YouTube(at6m40s) - 


BLOG ARTICLES ON THE MOON
There are other articles in this blog concerning the Moon: Moon - Facts and Theories (the main page on Moon), Tycho and Mare Moscoviense. This page here deals mainly with UFO sightings on and around the moon seen from Earth, or discerned in space and proven in NASA pictures and videos.

VIDEOS AND PHOTOS ON YOUTUBE

2010-1119 (4m23s)  Filmed from Melbourne, Australia by OzSkySearch: "Ok i have a bit of info: at 2.13 and 3.36 the crater on the right is the Lambert Crater (30 kms in diameter and 2.7 kms deep), this thing is HUGE".  
2011-0709 (1m6s)  Sony HD handycam, no digital zoom. Flaxious: "I  filmed the moon, just to test my new camera, when I watched the footage on my computer, I noticed these 'orbs' , ufo's , balls or whatever. Might be artifacts (technical glitches), I just don't know. Thought it was funny to try and analyse it a bit by zooming a little. I counted 7 'orbs' , 2 at the end that aren't counted in the video".
2013-0227 (2m00s) Moon base seen through the telescope near Mare Crisium by DarkSkyWatcher74.
2013-0721 (1m53s) Filmed from Castres, France. Two giant UFOs move more than once across the Moon. We can rule out satellites. - UFOFilesTV -
