19th & 20th CENTURIES - LUNARS STRANGENESS

Enigmatic lights, colored or not, were seen centuries ago, in the form of flashes of very large amplitude or luminous designs at the surface of the moon. Starting in the 19th century, these lights became a topic of study for astronomers. Then, in 1869, the English Royal Astronomical Society decided to organize an three-year investigation following a sudden apparition of a great number of lights in the Sea of Crises region. Furthermore, at the beginning of the 19th century, British astronomer, Sir John Herschel had claimed that certain lights were moving above the moon's surface. Nowadays, this kind of phenomenon is still seen regularly and seems to have a liking for certain craters such as Platon, Aristarque, or Eratosthene.

Surface anomalies are those concerning forms or modifications geographically "impossible". Among these forms, the crossing of two reliefs at almost straight angles, which is impossible, is the most intriguing. Even more impressive are the important geological modifications like the one that apparently occurred to the LinnΘ crater in the Sea of Tranquility : in 1653, discovery of the crater ; in 1788, this is not anything but a "white stain" ; in 1823, it has become a dark crater with a width of 4 to 5 miles ; in 1839, its visible diameter reaches 1.5 miles ; in 1866, it completely disappears. LinnΘ will then continue to disappear and reappear ; and in 1971, photos taken by Apollo XV will show that it is a recent formation, and its diameter does not exceed 1.5 miles...The visual effects and the old telescopes' imprecision do not explain everything...

The possible presence of artificial constructions, or even "machines", are based at the same time on astronomers' observations and the minute study of hundreds of thousands of photos brought back by the space probe and the manned missions. They have unproven, for example, that the famous 12.5 miles "bridge" discovered in 1953 alongside the Sea of Crises was only the result of a play of shadows and lights. At the same time, other photos like Nasa's 67-H-1135 show, for example, very large perfect spheres having left traces of movement at the bottom of the Vitello crater and is difficult to explain as a result of nature. In his book, Somebody Else is on the Moon, published in 1976, George Leonard, an American, did a detailed study of Nasa officers' clichΘs. If in a certain number of cases their conclusions did not seem very adventurous, it turns out that they had to add strange objects, constructions, machines (?) to the already long list of lunar anomalies. Research done by George Leonard were then confirmed by researchers such as Dr. Bruce Cornet or Richard Hoagland, the specialist of the "Sphinx" of Mars.

Faced with these mysteries, NASA keeps completely silently by apparently letting all the available photos circulate. In reality, it turns out that they keep a certain number. So, of the two million images taken recently by the space probe, "Clementine", only 1.8 million were released to the public, on the Internet network in particular. Finally, one can not forget that the National Security Agency (NSA), who is already involved in the fight against ufology, screened the NASA missions' communication and images, and the astronauts have always been subjected to the strictest observation of discretion when it is a matter of really inhabitual phenomenon which were observed in space or on the moon. However, it is known that Neil Armstrong, for example, sighted two UFOs above a crater on the Moon during the historic ApolloXI mission in July of 1969.

That there are artificial structures constructed by a non-human intelligence at work for a long time on the Moon is therefore, a hypothesis that is not exclusively revealed in Science Fiction. Who knows? The lunar monolith of 2001, A Space Odyssey is perhaps the closest to reality than what is usually thought...
