Moon Anomalies

If an ancient alien civilization built a city on Mars, Hoagland reasoned, why not on the moon and on Earth itself! Looking at photos taken during the lunar missions, including those taken during the Apollo lunar manned landings, he discovered several anomalies. Upon further investigation, he has found that there are immense "crystalline" cities on the moon that are even more advanced than the Cydonia buildings and a small, select group of people within NASA have probably known about them from the beginning of the space program!

The objective of this investigation is to obtain supporting evidence that will either confirm or refute the claims made by Richard C. Hoagland, Dr. Mark Carlotto, the study group calling itself VGL, and others with regard to the apparent presence of ancient and presumably extraterrestrial artifacts on the Moon.

Gives clues and reasons as to why we didn't go to the moon. Also tells about the great moon hoax of 1835.

This site is dedicated to the examination of unusual features on the surface of the Moon, with the possibility in mind that some of them might be artificial. Available at this site are images from Lunar Orbiter, Apollo and Clementine spacecraft. We will, where possible, provide supporting data for the images and spacecraft, and links to the appropriate web sites for further information.

On June 17, 1997, an unidentified object passed across Joe Pitonzo's field of view as he observed the Moon via his 8" SCT (Schmidt-Cassegrain Telescope). The following is a diagram and a detailed testimonial of Pitonzo's lunar observation as communicated to Francis Ridge, Coordinator of The Lunascan Project.

Evidence from the early space probes that Lunar gravitational gradient calculations were possibly flawed: The United States and the Soviet Union started to send probes to the Moon in the late fifties. Most of these initial probes met with miserable failure. It is posited here that the reason for these early failures were due to a miscalculation of the lunar gravitational gradient.

The Lunascan Project is an Earth-Based Telescopic Imaging program using live CCD imaging technology to observe, document, and record LTPs (Lunar Transient Phenomena). The Lunascan Project website directories house some of the best lunar image links from around the world.

Lately we've been watching the moon and have videotaped some fascinating anomalies.

The Moon - gazed upon for countless centuries by lovers in all seasons, used by farmers to illuminate their nighttime harvesting in the autumn, cursed by soldiers trying to sneak up on the enemy and looked upon with awe by first time young astronomers. The Moon has almost always presented a familiar if not friendly countenance peering down upon us with serene familiarity.

The Moon, like Mars, has many architectural anomalies. There are tons of photos, on the web, which appear to show architectural oddities on the Moon, including the NASA and JPL sites. Sometimes a photo surfaces, which isn't from one of the mainstream sites. The following is just such a photo and can be found at, FTP directory /pub/images/apollo/as15/ at ftp

More detailed photography has simply complicated the problem. Most astronomers simply gloss over the anomalous evidence that has come to light, or if probed more deeply, debunk and ridicule it. It is an unfortunate fact of human nature that, when our established world view is threatened, we lash out venomously. Scientists are no exception, in fact doubly so, as they have their own specialised knowledge to protect. Cosmic Conspiracies are open to ideas until they are proven erroneous.

The Moon may harbour five times more water than we thought, reckon researchers in the United States who have doubled previous estimates of how much of the lunar surface is permanently dark. This is encouraging news for those in favour of human colonization of the Moon. Any ice that accumulated in sunless pits on the Moon billions of years ago would still be frozen there, having never sublimed and floated free of the tenuous gravity, explain Ben Bussey, of the University of Hawaii, and his colleagues.

i've been seeking more scientific opinions on the moon so we can try and reconcile what we see with what we know in the hope of making sense of this situation. The following is an email response. Mr. Lunsford gave permission to post it:

The Sourcebooks, Handbooks and Catalogs are compiled from 40,000 articles from the scientific literature, the results of a 25-year search through more than 12,000 volumes of scientific journals, including the complete files of Nature, Science, Icarus, Weather, etc. The Sourcebook Project is compiling an objective, unsensationalized catalog of anomalous phenomena.
