despite six announced visits by US

astronauts between 1969 and 1972 the

moon remains a riddle to scientists in

many regards these solutions to these

riddles could indicate an alien aspect

of our familiar moon called the rosetta

stone of the planets by dr. Robert

Jastrow the first chairman of NASA's

lunar exploration committee scientists

did hope by studying the composition of

the moon to resolve some of the

mysteries of how our planet and solar

system came into existence the first

step on the moon by astronaut Neil

Armstrong was said to be one small step

for man one giant leap for mankind

but for many of the 12 men who have been

there that one small step completely

changed the way they saw the world some

returned feeling as if they'd

experienced enlightenment others spent

the years following their unit

exploration depressed and hiding from

the press some say that those quiet

astronauts saw things the others hadn't

secret things that they were asked to

cover up

[Music]

after stepping on the moon Buzz Aldrin's

life fell apart he went into a deep

depression his marriage of 21 years

ended he remarried and was divorced

again within two years he became an

alcoholic within a few years the former

astronaut found himself selling used

cars to make a living when approached by

the press

he seemed agitated and reluctant to

share details of his mission Neil

Armstrong the first man on the moon is

said to have been reclusive and possibly

withdrawn he also frustrated

interviewers with his refusal 'he's an

extremely private nature many people

have wondered why they would struggle

after such an achievement I think we

were timely and accepting this mission

of going to the moon it might be timely

at this point to think in many other

areas of other admissions that could be

accomplished some believe it was because

the entire moon landing was a hoax some

think they saw proof of alien life but

it was kept quiet buzz did say in one

interview that he observed a light

moving alongside the ship others think

that Boz was just jealous at being the

second man on the moon and Neil had

always been quiet we may never know

because NASA erased the original moon

landing footage whatever caused their

depression the truth is that there are

many oddities about the moon it's been a

source of fascination since the dawn of

humanity many ancient peoples worshipped

it as a god or told legends about it

the Zulu tribe of Africa for example

tells of two alien brothers who toed the

moon into place and gave us the rhythms

of the earth even today its mysteries

tantalize our minds for example the moon

is 400 times smaller than the Sun and

400 times closer to the earth because of

this mysterious coincidence when the

moon passes in front of the Sun during

an eclipse the moon completely blocks

the much bigger Sun yet scientists say

that if the moon were not as it is life

may not have evolved past the sea the

moon affects the tides and the tides

made it possible for some sea creatures

to reach land where they eventually

evolved into land animals science writer

Earle Yubel declared the lunar rosetta

stone remains a mystery the moon is more

complicated than anyone expected it's

not simply a kind of billiard ball

frozen in space and time as many

scientists have believed few of the

fundamental questions have been answered

but the Apollo rocks and recordings have

spawned a score of mysteries in the

pictures we showed earlier you saw rocks

and the boulder filled out buzzes window

that were three and four feet in size

very likely pieces of the lunar bedrock

and it would have been very interesting

to go over and and get some samples of

those among those breath stopping

mysteries or anomalies as scientists

prefer to call them is the fact that the

moon is far older than previously

imagined perhaps even much older than

the Earth and Sun by examining tracks

burned into moon rocks by cosmic rays

scientists have dated them as billions

of years old some have even dated back

4.5 billion years far older than the

earth and nearly as old as the solar

system

the moon has at least three distinct

layers of rocks contrary to the idea

that heavier objects sink the moon rocks

are found on the surface and there is

definite disparity in the distribution

of minerals Yubel asked if the earth and

moon were created at the same time near

each other why is one body got all the

iron the earth and the other the moon

not much as Jubail the differences

suggest that earth and moon came into

being far from each other an idea that

stumbles over the inability of

astrophysicists to explain how exactly

the moon became a satellite of the earth

the moon is extremely dry and does not

appear to have ever had water in any

substantial amounts none of the moon

rocks regardless of where they were

found

contained free water or even water

molecules bound into the minerals yet

Apollo 16 astronauts found moon rocks

that contain bits of rusted iron since

oxidation requires oxygen and free

hydrogen this rust indicates that there

must be water somewhere on the moon

furthermore instruments left behind by

Apollo missions sent a signal to earth

on March 7 1971 indicating a wind of

water had crossed the moon's surface

when you would not be there your foot or

your hand against something you would

tend to shed the outer surface of this

material but there remained considerable

smudges I don't know how that got on the

knees

since any water on the airless moon

surface vaporizes and behaves like wind

on earth the question became where did

this water originate the vapor cloud

eruptions lasted 14 hours and covered an

area of some 100 square miles

prompting Rice University physicist dr.

John Freeman Jr and dr. H Ken Hills to

pronounce the event one of the most

exciting discoveries yet indicating

water within the moon the two physicists

claimed the water vapor came from deep

inside the moon apparently released

during a moonquake NASA officials

offered a more mundane and questionable

explanation they speculated that two

tanks on Apollo descent stages contained

between 60 and 100 pounds of water

became stressed and ruptured releasing

their contents Freeman and Hills

declined to accept this explanation

pointing out that the two tanks from

Apollo 12 and 14 were some 180

kilometers apart yet the water vapor was

detected with the same flux at both

sites although the instruments faced in

opposite directions

skeptics also have understandably

questioned the odds of two separate

tanks breaking simultaneously and how

such a small quantity of water could

produce 100 square miles of vapor moon

rocks were found to be magnetized not

strong enough to pick up a paper clip

but magnetic nonetheless however there

is no magnetic field on the moon itself

where did the magnetism come from the

presence of Maria or large seas of

smooth sulphide molten rock also

presented a mystery these Maria indicate

nothing less than a vast outpouring of

lava at some distant time

it's now been confirmed that some of the

moon's craters are of internal origin

yet there's no indication that the moon

has ever been hot enough to produce

volcanic eruptions another puzzle is

that almost all four-fifths of the Morea

are located on the moon's earth side

hemisphere whew Maria marked the far

side of the Moon often erroneously

referred to as the dark side

yet the far side contains many more

craters and mountainous areas you see

most of the craters have rounded edges

however there is a variation in the in

the age of these as we can tell by the

sharpness of the edge of the crater in

comparison to the rest of the moon the

Maria are relatively free of craters

suggesting that craters were covered by

lava flow adding to this mystery are the

mass Khan's large dense circular masses

lying 20 to 40 miles below the center of

the moon's Maria the mass Khan's were

discovered because their denseness

distorted the orbits of our spacecraft

flying over or near them one scientist

proposed that the mass Khan's are heavy

iron meteorites that plunge deep into

the moon while it was in a soft formable

stage this theory has been discounted

since meteorites strike with such

velocity they would vaporize on contact

another mundane explanation is that the

mass cons are nothing more than lava

filled caverns but skeptics say there

isn't enough lava present to accomplish

this it would seem these mass cons are

huge disk shaped objects possibly of

artificial construction it's unlikely

that large circular disks located

directly under the center of the Maria

like a giant bullseye happened by

accident or coincidence

between 1969 and 1977 Apollo mission

seismographic equipment registered up to

3000 moon quakes each year of operation

most of the vibrations were quite small

and were caused by meteorite strikes or

falling booster rockets but many other

quakes were detected deep inside the

moon

this internal creaking is believed to be

caused by the gravitational pull of our

planet as most moon quakes occur when

the moon is closest to the earth an

event occurred in 1958 in the moon's

Alphonsus crater which shook the idea

that all internal moon quake activity

was simply settling rocks in November of

that year Soviet astronomer Nicola a

casa Rev of the Crimean Astrophysical

Observatory startled the scientific

world by photographing the first

recorded gaseous eruption on the moon

near the craters peak Kozar have

attributed this to escaping fluorescent

gases he also detected a reddish glow

characteristic of carbon compounds which

seemed to move and disappear after an

hour some scientists refused to accept

co sheriff's findings until astronomers

at the Lowell University also saw radish

glows on the crest of ridges at the

Aristarchus region in 1960 three days

later colored lights on the moon lasting

more than an hour were reported at two

separate observatories something was

going on inside the volcanic lead ed

moon and whatever it is it occurs the

same way at the same time as the moon

moves closer to the earth seismic

signals from different stations on the

lunar surface detect identical

vibrations it's difficult to accept this

movement as a natural phenomenon for

example a broken artificial hull plate

could shift exactly the same way each

time the moon passed

near the earth there's evidence to

indicate the moon may be Hollow studies

of moon rocks indicate that the moon's

interior differs from the Earth's mantle

in ways suggesting a very small or even

non-existent core as far back as 1962

NASA scientist dr. Gordon McDonald

stated if the astronomical data are

reduced it's found that the data require

that the interior of the moon be less

dense than the outer parts indeed it

would seem that the moon is more like a

hollow than a homogeneous sphere Apollo

14 astronaut dr. Edgar Mitchell while

scoffing at the possibility of a hollow

moon nevertheless admitted that since

heavier materials were on the surface

it's quite possible that giant caverns

exist within the moon you cannot always

tell this by looking at the terrain what

the exact resistance will be as your

foot sinks into a point of firm contact

so one must be quite cautious in moving

around in this rough terrain the

footprint would penetrate perhaps a half

an inch or sometimes only a quarter of

an inch and gave a very firm response in

other regions near the edges of these

craters we could find that the foot

would would sink down maybe two three

possibly four inches

am i tease 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 why frightening the

significance was stated by astronomer

Carl Sagan way back in his 1966 work

intelligent life in the universe a

natural satellite cannot be a hollow

object the most startling evidence that

the moon could be Hollow came on

November 20th 1969 when the Apollo 12

crew after returning to their command

ship sent the lunar module

LM ascent stage crashing back onto the

moon creating an artificial moon quake

the LM struck the surface about 40 miles

from the Apollo 12 landing site where

ultra sensitive seismic equipment

recorded something both unexpected and

astounding the moon reverberating like a

bowel for more than an hour the

vibration wave took almost eight minutes

to reach a peak and then decreased in

intensity at a news conference that day

one of the co-directors of the seismic

experiment Maurice Ewing told reporters

that scientists were at a loss to

explain the ringing as for the meaning

of it I'd rather not make an

interpretation right now but it's as

though someone has struck a bell in the

belfry of a church a single blow that

found the reverberation from it

continued for 30 minutes

it was later established that small

vibrations had continued on the moon for

more than an hour the phenomenon was

repeated when the Apollo 13s third stage

was sent crashing onto the moon by radio

command striking with the equivalent of

11 tons of TNT

according to NASA this time the moon

reacted like a gong

although seismic equipment was more than

108 miles from the crash site

recording showed reverberations lasted

for three hours and 20 minutes and

traveled to a depth of 22 to 25 miles

subsequent studies of manmade crashes on

the moon yielded similar results after

one impact the moon reverberate it for

four hours this ringing coupled with the

density problem on the moon reinforces

the idea of a hollow moon scientists

hoped to record the impact of a meteor

large enough to send shockwaves to the

moon's pore and back to settle the issue

that opportunity came on May 13th 1972

when a large meteor struck the moon with

the equivalent force of 200 tons of TNT

after sending shockwaves deep into the

interior the moon scientists were

baffled to find that none returned

confirming that there's something

unusual about the moon's core or lack

thereof

dr. Farouk Elbaz was quoted as saying

there are many undiscovered caverns

suspected to exist beneath the surface

of the Moon several experiments have

been flown to the moon to see if there

were actually such caverns the results

of these experiments have not been made

public it seems apparent that the moon

has a tough hard outer shell and a light

or non-existent interior the moon shell

contains dense minerals such as titanium

used on earth and the construction of

aircraft and space vehicles many people

still recall watching our astronauts on

TV as they mainly tried to drill through

the crust of a moon Maria their

specially designed drills could only

penetrate a few inches the puzzle of the

moon's hard surface was compounded by

the discovery of what appeared to be

processed metals

experts were surprised to find lunar

rocks bearing brass mica and amphibole

in addition to the near pure titanium

uranium 236 and neptunium 237 elements

not previously found in nature were

discovered in moon rocks

according to Argonne National Laboratory

while still trying to explain the

presence of these materials scientists

were further startled to learn of

rust-proof iron particles in a soil

sample from the sea of crisis in 1976

The Associated Press reported that the

Soviets had announced the discovery of

iron particles that do not rust and

samples brought back by unmanned moon

mission in 1970 iron that doesn't rust

is unknown in nature and well beyond

present Earth technology undoubtedly the

greatest mystery concerning our Moon is

how it came to be there in the first

place prior to the Apollo missions one

serious theory as to the Earth's origin

was that it broke off the earth eons ago

although no one could positively locate

where on earth that originated many

speculated the loss of material

explained the huge gouge in the earth

which forms the Pacific Ocean however

this idea was discarded when it was

found that there's little similarity

between the composition of our world and

the moon a more recent theory had the

moon created out of space debris left

over from the creation of the earth

this concept proved untenable in light

of current gravitational theory which

indicates that one large object will

accumulate all loose material leaving

none for the formation of another large

body it's now generally accepted that

the moon originated elsewhere and

entered the Earth's gravitational field

at some point in the distant past

here theories diverge one stating that

the moon was originally a planet which

collided with the earth creating debris

which combined forming the moon well in

other states that the moon while

wandering through our solar system was

captured and pulled into orbit by

Earth's gravity

neither of these theories are especially

compelling because of the lack of

evidence that neither the earth nor the

moon seemed to have been physically

disrupted by a past close encounter

there's no debris in space indicating a

past collision and it does not appear

that the Earth and Moon developed during

the same time period as for the capture

theory even scientist Isaac Asimov

well-known for his works of fiction has

written it's too big to have been

captured by the earth the chances of

such a capture having been affected and

the moon then having taken up nearly

circular orbit around our earth are too

small to make such an eventual 'ti

credible Asimov was right to consider

the moon's orbit it's not only near a

perfect circle but stationary one side

always faces the earth with only the

slightest variation as far as we know

it's the only natural satellite with

such an orbit this circular orbit is

especially odd considering that the

moon's center of mass lies more than a

mile closer to the earth than its

geometric center this fact alone should

produce an unstable wobbly orbit much as

a ball with its mass off-center will not

roll in a straight line

additionally almost all of the other

satellites in our solar system orbit in

the plane of their planets equator not

so the moon whose orbit lies strangely

near the Earth's orbit around the Sun or

inclined to the Earth's elliptical by

more than five degrees add to this the

fact that the moon's bulge located on

the side facing away from Earth thus

negating the idea that it was caused by

Earth's gravitational pull

makes for an off-balance twirled

[Music]

in 1961 President Kennedy boldly

declared before a joint session of

Congress that the United States would

send a man to the moon and return him

safely to the earth within a decade I

believe that this nation should commit

itself to achieving the goal before this

decade is out of landing a man on the

moon and returning him safely to the

earth

no single space project in this period

will be more impressive to mankind or

more important for the long-range

exploration of space

during the initial time period after

touchdown we went through various

sequences to prepare us for immediate

abort

[Music]

it seems impossible that such an oddity

could naturally fall into such a precise

and circular orbit it's a fascinating

conundrum as articulated by science

writer William Roy Shelton who wrote it

is important to remember that something

had to put the moon at or near its

present circular pattern around the

earth just as a base craft circling the

earth every 90 minutes while 100 miles

high has to have a velocity of roughly

18,000 miles per hour to stay in orbit

so something had to give the moon

precisely required velocity for its

weight and altitude the point and it's

one seldom noted and considering the

origin of the moon is that it's

extremely unlikely that any object would

just stumble into the right combination

of factors required to stay in orbit

something had to put the moon at its

altitude on its course and at its speed

the question is what was that something

[Music]

if the precise and stationary orbit of

the moon is seen as sheer coincidence

it's also coincidence that the moon is

at just the right distance from the

earth to completely cover the Sun during

an eclipse

while the diameter of the moon is a mere

2160 miles against the sun's gigantic

864,000 miles it is nevertheless in just

the proper position to block out all but

the sun's flaming Corona when it moves

between the Sun and the earth Asimov

explained there's no astronomical reason

why the Moon and Sun should fit so well

it is the sheerest of coincidences and

only the earth among all the planets is

blessed in this fashion is it mere

coincidence how does one explain this in

many other moon mysteries in July 1972

Russian scientist Mikhail vasin and

Alexander scherbakov published an

article in the Soviet journal Sputnik

entitled is the moon the creation of

alien intelligence they advanced the

theory that the moon is not a completely

natural world

but a planetoid that was hollowed out

eons ago in the far reaches of space by

intelligent beings possessing a

technology far superior to ours huge

machines were used to melt rock and form

large cavities within the moon spewing

the molten refuse onto the surface

protected by a hull like inner shell

plus a reconstructed outer shell of

metallic rocky junk this gigantic craft

was steered through the cosmos and

finally parked in orbit around the earth

in their article vasan and scherbakov

wrote abandoning the traditional paths

of common sense

we've plunged into what may at first

seem to be unbridled and irresponsible

fantasy but the more minutely we go into

all the information gathered by man

about the moon the more we're convinced

that there's not a single fact to rule

out this supposition not only that but

many things so far considered to be

lunar enigmas are explainable in the

light of this new

pothinus outrageous as the spaceship

moon theory might first appear consider

how this model reconciles all the

mysteries of the moon it would explain

why the moon gives evidence of being

much older than the earth and perhaps

even our solar system and why there are

three distinct layers within the moon

with the densest materials on the

outside layer exactly as one would

expect of the hull of a spacecraft it

could also explain why no signs of water

has been found on the moon's surface yet

there's evidence it exists deep inside

this theory also would explain these

strange Maria and mass cons perhaps the

remnants of the machinery used to hollow

out the moon the idea of an artificial

satellite could explain the odd rhythmic

moonquakes

as artificial constructs reacting the

same way during periods of stress from

the Earth's pall and artificial

equipment beneath the moon's surface

might be the source of the gas clouds

that have been observed intelligent

terraforming of the moon could prove the

solution to the argument between hot

moon and cold moon scientists they're

both right the moon originally was a

cold world which was transformed into a

spacecraft by artificially heating or

expelling vast quantities of its

interior this theory could also explain

these seeming contradictions over the

question of a hollow moon if the moon

originally were a solid world which was

artificially hollowed out there would be

evidence of both phases exactly what we

have with the current moon knowledge an

artificially hollowed-out moon would

explain why the satellite rings like a

bell for hours after being struck and

why specimens of tough refractory metals

such as titanium chromium and zirconium

rust-proof iron uranium 236 and

neptunium 237 have been found there in

fact the spaceship Moon Theory may come

closer to any other and reconciling the

questions over the origin and amazing

orbit of the

but we're not supposed to consider this

thesis the circular logic of modern

science regarding the origins of the

moon run something like this we know

that extraterrestrials don't exist but

we do know that the moon exists and has

been mentioned throughout human history

we humans did not create or place it in

Earth's orbit so must have been done by

extraterrestrials but since we know they

don't exist

we'll simply call it an anomaly and will

not publicly say anything more about

this is there an alien base on the moon

more and more people are coming forward

with stories of an alien presence on the

moon rumors are that their moon base is

on the dark side of the Moon the side we

never see from Earth did you ever wonder

why the moon landing stopped and why

we've not tried to build a moon base I

understand that some believe that we

should attempt a return to the surface

of the Moon first as previously planned

but III just have to say pretty bluntly

here we've been there before

it seems a better and easier idea than a

floating space station according to Neil

Armstrong the aliens have a base on the

moon and wanted us to get off and stay

off the moon milton cooper a naval

intelligence officer tells us that the

intelligence community calls the alien

base luna luna the alien base on the far

side of the moon it was seen and filmed

by the apollo astronauts a base a mining

operation using very large machines and

the very large alien crafts described in

sightings reports as mother ships exist

there milton Cooper

did Apollo 11 encounter UFOs on the moon

from the book above top secret by

Timothy good according to Heather two

unconfirmed reports both Neil Armstrong

and Edwin Buzz Aldrin saw UFOs shortly

after that historic landing on the moon

in Apollo 11 on the 21st of July 1969

[Music]

I remember hearing one of the astronauts

refer to a light in or on a crater

during the television transmission

followed by a request from Mission

Control for further information nothing

more was heard according to a former

NASA employee Otto bender unnamed radio

hams with their own VHF receiving

facilities that bypassed NASA's

broadcasting outlets picked up the

following exchange NASA what's their

mission control calling Apollo 11 Apollo

11

these babies are huge sir enormous oh my

god you wouldn't believe it I'm telling

you there are other spacecraft out there

lined up on the far side of the crater

edge they're on the moon watching us in

1979 Maurice Shannon former chief of

NASA communication system confirmed that

Armstrong had indeed reported seeing two

UFOs on the rim of a crater the

encounter was common knowledge in NASA

he revealed but nobody's talked about it

until now

Soviet scientists were allegedly the

first to confirm the incident according

to our information the encounter was

reported immediately after the landing

of the module said dr. Vladimir zaza a

physicist and professor of mathematics

at Moscow University Neil Armstrong

relayed the message to Mission Control

that chiu large mysterious objects were

watching them after having landed near

the moon module but this message was

never heard by the public because NASA

censored it according to another Soviet

scientist dr. Alexander Kazan sev Buzz

Aldrin took color movie film of the UFOs

from inside the module and continued

filming them after he and Armstrong went

outside dr. Oz aza claims that the UFOs

departed minutes after the astronauts

came out to the lunar surface

Maurice Shadowland also confirmed that

Apollo 11s radio transmissions were

interrupted on several occasions in

order to hide the news from the public

before dismissing Shadowland sensational

claims it's worth noting his impressive

background in the aerospace industry and

space program

his first job after moving from France

was as some electronics engineer with

convair specializing in

telecommunications telemetry and radar

in 1959 he was in charge of an

electromagnetic research group

developing new radar and

telecommunication systems for Ryan one

of his 11 patents was an automatic radar

landing system that ignited retro

rockets at a given altitude used in the

Ranger and surveyor flights to the moon

later at North American Aviation Channel

and was offered the job of designing and

building the Apollo communications and

data processing systems channel and

claims that all Apollo and Gemini

flights were followed both at a distance

and sometimes also quite closely by

space vehicles of extraterrestrial

origin

flying saucers or UFOs if you want to

call them that every time it occurred

the astronauts informed Mission Control

who then ordered absolute silence he

goes on to say I think that Walter

schirra aboard mercury 8 was the first

of the astronauts to use the codename

Santa Claus to indicate the presence of

flying saucers next to space capsules

however his announcements were barely

noticed by the general public it was a

little different when James Lovell

onboard the Apollo 8 command module came

out from behind the moon and said for

everybody to hear please be informed

that there is a Santa Claus

even though this happened on Christmas

Day 1968 many people sensed a hidden

meaning in those words

rumors persist NASA may well be a

civilian agency but many of its programs

are funded by the defense budget and

most of the astronauts are subject to

military security regulations apart from

the fact that the National Security

Agency screens all films and probably

radio communications as well we have the

statements by Otto bender dr. Gary

Henderson and Maurice chatlin that the

astronauts were under strict orders not

to discuss their sightings and Gordon

Cooper is testified to the United

Nations Committee that one of the

astronauts actually witnessed a UFO on

the ground if there's no secrecy why is

the sighting not been made public a

certain professor who wished to remain

anonymous was engaged in the discussion

with Neil Armstrong during a NASA

symposium professor what really happened

out there with Apollo 11 Armstrong

it was incredible of course we had

always known there was a possibility the

fact is we were warned off there was

never any question then of a space

station or a moon city professor how do

you mean warned off Armstrong I can't go

into details except to say that their

ships were far superior to ours

both in size and technology boy were

they big and menacing no there's no

question of a space station professor

but NASA had other missions after Apollo

11 Armstrong naturally NASA was

committed at that time and couldn't risk

panic on earth but it really was a quick

scoop and back again

Armstrong confirmed that the story was

true but refused to go into further

detail beyond admitting that the CIA was

behind the cover-up how much do we

really know about this mysterious orb

after much scientific study many

questions still remain unanswered
