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.

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 -

The Moon - Facts and Theories

Updated 10.10.2013 Know thy Moon! Our beautiful, everchanging  satellite, home to some spaceflight debris and who knows what on the other side! Be it as it may, this article deals mainly with the more esoteric theories on Moon. For more factual information than shown here, consult e.g. the excellent site in Wikipedia. Check also some beautiful photos of the Moon, courtesy of El País.

MOON DATA
Circumference: 10,921km (equatorial)
Diameter: 3474km (about 1/4 that of the Earth)

Distance from Earth: The average distance from Earth to the Moon is 384,400 km (238,900 miles). So if you could drive a car along an imaginary freeway to the moon, and you drove 100km/h (62mi/h), it would take you around six months to get there. So far, and yet so close! And as we all know, the Moon and Sun appear the same size seen from the Earth, so that under certain circumstances it is even possible to mistake one for the other.

MOON, SUN AND EARTH 

The Moon is unique among natural satellites in that it experiences a stronger gravitational attraction to the Sun than to its primary, the Earth. As a consequence, its path is always concave to the Sun. It could almost  be argued that this makes the Moon a planet, orbiting the Sun, rather than a satellite of the Earth. Anyway,  here is a good animation of the interaction of these three.

A nice explanatory video Physical Science9.2b states: "As the Earth spins, the Moon appears to rise and set. And the spinning of the Earth is a more significant factor in the appearant motion of the Moon because the Moon goes completely around the Earth once a month, but it rises and set every day as the Earth rotates, or just about every day."

Craters, maria and the mapping of the Moon

There are roughly 300,000 craters wider than 1 km on the Moon's near side alone, and apparently the battered, densely cratered other side is even worse in this respect. The crater Tycho is perhaps the most prominent of these, clearly visible on the near side (there will soon be a separate article on Tycho in this blog). Quite interesting things to be seen there... But whatever we will some day find there or anywhere else on the Moon, please visit first the excellent Kelso's Corner to see how the Moon was mapped!

MOON LANDINGS
The Soviet Union's Luna programme was the first to reach the Moon with unmanned spacecraft in 1959. First manned Moon landing was of course on July 20th, 1969, and first moonwalk by Apollo 11 astronaut Neil Armstrong on the 21st. After that first landing there has been five more, with the latest in 1972 by Apollo 17. Only unmanned landings after that - officially.

Many of us ask why haven't  we built a permanent base on the Moon. Perhaps the answer really is, as proposed,  this simple: it is already occupied, and we are not welcome there. There will soon be a separate article here called This Side of the Moon - about UFOs seen flying around, to and from the Moon, and other things we can see there.
 

FAR SIDE OF THE MOON

a.k.a. the dark side. Tidal forces from Earth have slowed down the Moon's rotation so that the same side is always facing the Earth. Most of the other side is never visible from the Earth. First photographed by the Soviet Luna 3 probe in 1959. The far side has a battered, densely cratered appearance with few maria, and according to some theories, alien bases.

NASA's Lunar Orbiter program managed to map some 99% of the Moon's surface in the 1960's. Lots of images taken of course, but as air brushing does occur, most people get to see only what we are allowed to see. Luckily  there are original photos/videos that show us more. Near Zeeman Crater for example there is/was a huge alien structure (video courtesy by UFOs Now) that looks like a hangar of sorts with a perfect rectangular slot. Where the structure used to be, there is now a quite poorly done air brushing that doesn't even try to imitate the surrounding texture.

Karl Wolfe
Sergeant Karl Wolfe was in the Air Force for about  4 years, 1964-1968. In 1965 while working at a NSA facility in Langley, Virginia, he was shown photographs of the Moon (taken that year by the Lunar Orbiter) that showed detailed artificial structures. So these photos were taken prior to the Apollo landing in 1969. He was told that recent enhanced images of the Moon had surprisingly, yet clearly shown structures on the surface of the dark side of the Moon. Structures that definitely were not created by natural means, such as meteors, or ancient collisions with other heavenly bodies. The structures were created by intelligent beings. - Disclosure Project(2m13s) - Examiner - UFO Casebook -

Structures on the Moon
Besides the structure on the far side of the Moon, there are socalled Moon anomalies on this side as well. With today's technology anyone really gets to have a better look at the Moon than just a few years ago, and so perhaps in the future it will be quite impossible to keep such secrets. But there are also old pictures that haven't been air brushed - in old books that UFO researchers can look into like Scott Waring, author of  UFO Sightings Daily, has done. So if you can get hold of Lunar Orbiter Photographic Atlas of the Near Side of the Moon, check there pages 265, 278 and 281.

Neil Armstrong had once told an associate that once they stepped out of the lunar module on the moon, they were literally surrounded by ET vehicles at the Sea of Tranquility. But though he too had to keep a lid on the truth, there is evidence that something like that might have taken place. The much-talked-about Tower on the Moon can be seen with a good telescope (see below) - and shadows tell a tale!

Cameras and telescopes to use
They're not cheap, but still affordable for many of us: a good set of camera and telescope (that usually comes with a tripod). A tripod is of course a must since it is impossible to hold the camera or telescope still enough to get a good picture/video. And there is always the interference of the atmosphere that makes the task difficult - it wobbles all the time and it makes videos filmed from Earth blurry, no matter how much magnification one has.
Anyway, here are some combos in practice:
Panasonic HDC-SD90 Digital video camera + Sky Watcher telescope
x
B&W CCD video camera + an 11" amateur telescope

GOOGLE EARTH MOON
To get the Moon in Google Earth, find Moon in the Planets. And then start zooming in! You can get suprisingly near in some places, e.g.here 30°58'12" N 146°11'05" E - or 31°01'07" N 145°24'38" E - NW of Mare Moscoviense on far side of the Moon. See those oblong things? What could they be? Then again, you see just blurry things almost everywhere on the near side. Why is that? Nevertheless, with your own telescope, your only censorship is the atmospheric interference - but you can't see the far side...

Hollow Moon

There is this wild idea that Moon is actually not a natural satellite with crust, mantle and core, but an artificial one. It is thought that a) the Moon's formation process produced a hollow sphere through natural means. Some proponents of this view maintain that the Moon is not exceptional, but that all planetary bodies are hollow. The b) theory is about the artificial Moon. The scientific community considers both sub-theories to be entirely unsupported by evidence.
