The moon is the Rosetta stone of the planets." —Robert Jastrow, First Chairman, NASA Lunar Exploration Committee
After hundreds of years of detailed observation and study, our closest companion in the vast universe, Earth’s moon, remains an enigma. Six moon landings and hundreds of experiments have resulted in more questions being asked than answered. Among them:
1. Moon’s Age: The moon is far older than previously expected. Maybe even
older than the Earth or the Sun. The oldest age for the Earth is estimated to be
4.6 billion years old; moon rocks were dated at 5.3 billion years old, and the
dust upon which they were resting was at least another billion years older.
2. Rock’s Origin: The chemical composition of the dust upon which the rocks
sat differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to accepted theories
that the dust resulted from weathering and breakup of the rocks themselves. The
rocks had to have come from somewhere else.
3. Heavier Elements on Surface: Normal planetary composition results in heavier
elements in the core and lighter materials at the surface; not so with the moon.
According to Wilson, "The abundance of refractory elements like titanium in
the surface areas is so pronounced that several geologists proposed the
refractory compounds were brought to the moon’s surface in great quantity in
some unknown way. They don’t know how, but that it was done cannot be
questioned." (Emphasis added).
4. Water Vapor: On March 7, 1971, lunar instruments placed by the astronauts
recorded a vapor cloud of water passing across the surface of the moon. The
cloud lasted 14 hours and covered an area of about 100 square miles.
5. Magnetic Rocks: Moon rocks were magnetized. This is odd because there is no
magnetic field on the moon itself. This could not have originated from a
"close call" with Earth—such an encounter would have ripped the moon
apart.
6. No Volcanoes: Some of the moon’s craters originated internally, yet there
is no indication that the moon was ever hot enough to produce volcanic
eruptions.
7. Moon Mascons: Mascons, which are large, dense, circular masses lying twenty
to forty miles beneath the centers of the moon’s maria, "are broad,
disk-shaped objects that could be possibly some kind of artificial construction.
For huge circular disks are not likely to be beneath each huge maria, centered
like bull’s-eyes in the middle of each, by coincidence or accident."
(Emphasis added).
8. Seismic Activity: Hundreds of "moonquakes" are recorded each year
that cannot be attributed to meteor strikes. In November, 1958, Soviet
astronomer Nikolay A. Kozyrev of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory
photographed a gaseous eruption of the moon near the crater Alphonsus. He also
detected a reddish glow that lasted for about an hour. In 1963, astronomers at
the Lowell Observatory also saw reddish glows on the crests of ridges in the
Aristarchus region. These observations have proved to be precisely identical and
periodical, repeating themselves as the moon moves closer to the Earth. These
are probably not natural phenomena.
9. Hollow Moon: The moon’s mean density is 3.34 gm/cm3 (3.34 times an equal
volume of water) whereas the Earth’s is 5.5. What does this mean? In 1962,
NASA scientist Dr. Gordon MacDonald stated, "If the astronomical data are
reduced, it is found that the data require that the interior of the moon is more
like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere." Nobel chemist Dr. Harold Urey
suggested the moon’s reduced density is because of large areas inside the moon
where is "simply a cavity." MIT’s Dr. Sean C. Solomon wrote,
"the Lunar Orbiter experiments vastly improved our knowledge of the
moon’s gravitational field . . . indicating the frightening possibility that
the moon might be hollow." In Carl Sagan’s treatise, Intelligent Life in
the Universe, the famous astronomer stated, "A natural satellite cannot be
a hollow object."
10. Moon Echoes: On November 20, 1969, the Apollo 12 crew jettisoned the lunar
module ascent stage causing it to crash onto the moon. The LM’s impact (about
40 miles from the Apollo 12 landing site) created an artificial moonquake with
startling characteristics—the moon reverberated like a bell for more than an
hour. This phenomenon was repeated with Apollo 13 (intentionally commanding the
third stage to impact the moon), with even more startling results. Seismic
instruments recorded that the reverberations lasted for three hours and twenty
minutes and traveled to a depth of twenty-five miles, leading to the conclusion
that the moon has an unusually light—or even no—core.
11. Unusual Metals: The moon’s crust is much harder than presumed. Remember
the extreme difficulty the astronauts encountered when they tried to drill into
the maria? Surprise! The maria is composed primarily illeminite, a mineral
containing large amounts of titanium, the same metal used to fabricate the hulls
of deep-diving submarines and the skin of the SR-71 "Blackbird".
Uranium 236 and neptunium 237 (elements not found in nature on Earth) were
discovered in lunar rocks, as were rustproof iron particles.
12. Moon’s Origin: Before the astronauts’ moon rocks conclusively disproved
the theory, the moon was believed to have originated when a chunk of Earth broke
off eons ago (who knows from where?). Another theory was that the moon was
created from leftover "space dust" remaining after the Earth was
created. Analysis of the composition of moon rocks disproved this theory also.
Another popular theory is that the moon was somehow "captured" by the
Earth’s gravitational attraction. But no evidence exists to support this
theory. Isaac Asimov, stated, "It’s too big to have been captured by the
Earth. The chances of such a capture having been effected and the moon then
having taken up nearly circular orbit around our Earth are too small to make
such an eventuality credible."
13. Weird Orbit: Our moon is the only moon in the solar system that has a
stationary, near-perfect circular orbit. Stranger still, the moon’s center of
mass is about 6000 feet closer to the Earth than its geometric center (which
should cause wobbling), but the moon’s bulge is on the far side of the moon,
away from the Earth. "Something" had to put the moon in orbit with its
precise altitude, course, and speed.
14. Moon Diameter: How does one explain the "coincidence" that the
moon is just the right distance, coupled with just the right diameter, to
completely cover the sun during an eclipse? Again, Isaac Asimov responds,
"There is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so
well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the
planets is blessed in this fashion."
15. Spaceship Moon: As outrageous as the Moon-Is-a-Spaceship Theory is, all of
the above items are resolved if one assumes that the moon is a gigantic
extraterrestrial craft, brought here eons ago by intelligent beings. This is the
only theory that is supported by all of the data, and there are no data that
contradict this theory.
Greek authors Aristotle and Plutarch, and Roman authors Apolllonius Rhodius
and Ovid all wrote of a group of people called the Proselenes who lived in the
central mountainous area of Greece called Arcadia The Proselenes claimed title
to this area because their forebears were there "before there was a moon in
the heavens." This claim is substantiated by symbols on the wall of the
Courtyard of Kalasasaya, near the city of Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, which record that
the moon came into orbit around the Earth between 11,500 and 13, 000 years ago,
long before recorded history.
1. Ages of Flashes: Aristarchus, Plato, Eratosthenes, Biela, Rabbi Levi, and
Posidonius all reported anomalous lights on the moon. NASA, one year before the
first lunar landing, reported 570+ lights and flashes were observed on the moon
from 1540 to 1967.
2. Operation Moon Blink: NASA’s Operation Moon Blink detected 28 lunar events
in a relatively short period of time.
3. Lunar Bridge: On July 29, 1953, John J. O’Neill observed a 12-mile-long
bridge straddling the crater Mare Crisium. In August, British astronomer Dr. H.P.
Wilkens verified its presence, "It looks artificial. It’s almost
incredible that such a thing could have been formed in the first instance, or if
it was formed, could have lasted during the ages in which the moon has been in
existence.
4. The Shard: The Shard, an obelisk-shaped object that towers 1½ miles from the
Ukert area of the moon’s surface, was discovered by Orbiter 3 in 1968. Dr.
Bruce Cornet, who studied the amazing photographs, stated, "No known
natural process can explain such a structure."
5. The Tower: One of the most curious features ever photographed on the Lunar
surface (Lunar Orbiter photograph III-84M) is an amazing spire that rises more
than 5 miles from the Sinus Medii region of the lunar surface.
6. The Obelisks: Lunar Orbiter II took several photographs in November 1966 that
showed several obelisks, one of which was more than 150 feet tall. ". . .
the spires were arranged in precisely the same was as the apices of the three
great pyramids."
