I just don't think any large countries government will admit to any such thing. I live in hope however!
Does anyone have any thoughts on the fake moon photos? I specifically mean photos because the evidence says man did go to the moon. The evidence that virtually all photos from Apollo 11 and some others were faked. There is no other explanation for crosshairs going behind objects and shadows that clearly show more than one light source. In addition to all that, if that were not enough to call 'fake' then there is clearly evidence that areas of the photos that should have been in complete darkness were anything but!
If man did go to the moon, then the question becomes 'why fake photos that could have been taken anyway?'
I think it could be that either there were things NASA was worried about having to show and they played it safe. It could be that due to restrictions on what input the astronauts could have on the taking of the photos, NASA thought that they could not spend the money on going to the moon and not have some excellent photos for posterity.
Another thing that really bothers me about Apollo 11 is that there is a sequence of film showing the astronauts on the way to the moon, with them showing the earth framed nicely in one of their viewing windows. Except, that by mistake, the film shows the fact that it was not the planet earth they were looking at but a colour transparency, held against the window. Why?
Because all the technology used to go to the moon is now in the public domain and quite antiquated by today's standards, it strikes me as very strange that NASA still remains cagey about certain aspects of the logistics of getting to the moon.
I think one of the most compelling pieces of evidence that man did go to the moon, is the fact that there were several moon missions. If they were going to fake going to the moon, there would be no point in faking it again and again and again! Also, many different independant labs and people were gifted pieces of moon rock, which to a geologist plainly shows it is not terrestrial. Also, I believe the equipment left on the surface has been photographed by the recent missions mapping the lunar surface.
But what is going on with the photos and why is Neil Armstrong so private? I would have thought that any astronaut willing to volunteer to enter the space program and go to the moon would have been made to agree to do countless interviews and public appearances over the following decades.
I don't think that would have been asking too much - it is a unique priviledge to be the first human to set foot on another heavenly body. No way should anyone who accepted that honour should have beeen allowed to shy away from the limelight pretty much all the time since his return.
Could it be that Neil Armstrong finds it difficult to live with some aspect of the mission? Something so secret that it eats away at any man forced to keep it secret in perpetuity?
Anyone who has yet to read George Leonards 'There is somebody else on our Moon' should make an effort to do so. I was lucky enough to pick up a paperback copy for pennies from a charity shop. The problem being the size and resolution of the pictures in the book. However, a few of the pics are so stand-out weird it is still possible to come away with the strong impression there is evidence of artificiality. Don Ecker has posted some ok quality copies of some of those photos elsewhere in the forums.
There can be no question that Japan and China are aware of these reports and they must have photographed these areas. I believe somewhere in a vault or three somewhere in the world there there are high-resolution photos of areas of interest on the lunar surface. These photos would reveal whether or not there are any artificial structures on the moon.
Whatever anyone things of Richard Hoagland, there can be no question that he has helped in some very good research of the Cydonian region of Mars. Of course, some people do not believe any of the structures on Mars are artificial, some believe many are and some people are undecided. I am in the latter category but probably sway more to thinking there are some artificial structures there.
What I am most interested in is Hoagland's use of software that looks at a digital image of a landscape and gives a mathematical probability as to whether any region shows evidence of not being natural, i.e artificial. The military uses these programs to analyse satellite imagery to tell whether there are man-made objects in the picture.
When this program was ran on pictures of Cydonia, there were several structures that were given very high probability of being artificial and the object that was recognised by the software as being most likely artificial was indeed the 'face'. I find that absolutely stunning.
I would be interested to see results of this software being run on images of certain areas of the lunar surface although I imagine the resolution required would be far in excess of that present in the photos in George Leonards book.
I urge anyone who has not yet seen some of these lunar photos to seek out the one that contains something that looks like a giant cog. Even at low resolution, once the eye fixes on this object, it is extremely hard to believe that the object is some natural rock formation.
There have been episodes of the Paracast covering Lunar anomalies and I reckon due to the proximity of the moon, it's role in our lives and the implications of there actually being anything artificial up there, the moon probably warrants another show, possibly if there is any more recent photographic evidence to consider?
