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withdrawn he also frustrated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
