MORE MOON EVIDENCE-2

Report #150

November 2, 2008

The above first image is merely a context image from strip AS17-140-21494HR to familiarize you with the general evidence scene and the relationship of the objects in it to each other. Note the huge rock in the foreground on the left, the large hill in the top background on the right, and the dark sky in the mid and left top background. The rover you see just to the right of the large rock is part of the Apollo 17 mission to the Moon. Far in the background just above the sight line over the top of the rock in the distance is the location of the Lander and of course is where the rover came from. The faintly seen large depression with gentle sloping sides in the background between the rover and the lander is shallow Henry Crater.

You should know that the Apollo 17 mission was the last Apollo mission and the last publicly acknowledged manned mission where astronauts walked on the Moon. There were three astronauts involved. One was Commander Ron Evans the command module pilot orbiting around the Moon when this scene was shot. The two that landed on the Moon were Eugene Cernan Crew Commander and Harrison Schmitt Lunar Module pilot and geologist respectively. The lander set down on the Moon on 12/15/1972 and the two men conducted three excursions lasting just over 7 hours each. They brought back 110.5 kg or 243.6 lbs. of Moon samples to Earth.

The landing site for this mission was on the rim of a Moon Mare. A Mare on the Moon is a lowland area dominated by fine sediment (regolith) filling it and coating everything as opposed to a more rough rocky region. The highlands you see 8 km in the background of this edge of Mare location are known as Massifs and all are named by that isn't important here. They are comparable to foothills here on Earth.

The images you see here in the report were taken with Swedish Hasselblad 70mm cameras by the two astronauts on the ground and using color film. Yes that's right color film even though you see only shades of black and gray in the Moon terrain. If you will look close in the above image, you will see that the rover vehicle does actually have some color on it. This principle is further demonstrated in the two closer images below.

.

In the above rover second image on the left, you can better see the different areas of color, mostly red, on the rover vehicle. In the distant above third image of the lander site on the right, you can just see the Lander as a tiny golden color spot in a sea of gray in the distance. I have a problem with this depiction of the Moon landscape color in sunlight and do not believe it. However, that isn't the point of this reporting and so I'll just leave that as a personal observation here.

The above 4th image provides a full resolution view of a large section of the sky over the Moon. Please note that there is absolutely nothing in this sky even though the view here is crystal clear based on the best available Swedish camera optics. While any examination of why the Moon's surface essentially has little color in it reflecting the Sun's visible (to us) light spectrum is open to conjecture and argument, this blank empty sky is hard visual and conclusive evidence standing on its own merit. Further, it is typical of just about all this Apollo 17 mission imaging of the dark sky.

The above sky sample being empty of star fields and any other objects is just impossible. You should know that the famous and very clear image of the Earth known as "The Blue Marble" was shot during this same Apollo 17 mission, so there is nothing wrong with the camera systems or film. Likewise, theoretically there is nothing in the sky to impede the view, so the view of the star fields should be much better from the Moon than from Earth and certainly not absent altogether as demonstrated here. Further, a close examination of this dark sky area reveals that no data has been removed from or substituted within it.

Therefore, one has no choice but to conclude that this is not a true sky scene at all. Logically it more than likely is a substituted fake blank black graphical canvass mimicking the sky look. The only other alternative is if there is some kind of high technology barrier or screen in the sky around the Moon that manipulated the visible to humans light spectrum. If there is high technology civilization on the Moon, this consideration might have some logic to it if who ever is there may have used this screen in the last few centuries to deflect observations from Earth of the Moon's surface via telescopes and present a false image of the Moon to Earth inhabitants. Never sell technology short just because you don't possess it.

However, if we are looking at a false substituted empty sky, then the question becomes why hide the star fields? One reason that quickly comes to mind is whether any of this was actually on the Moon at all? If it isn't on the Moon, then reproduction of the star fields from the Moon's view perspective would be difficult to do. On the other hand, remember that this is the Apollo 17 mission and the last in a line of Moon missions after which we illogically and strangely stayed away from the Moon for following decades. Logically you would have thought that an unoccupied(?) Moon would best serve mankind's jump off point into space. Instead we avoid the place and try to build highly perishable space stations with predictably poor results.

So why are the secrecy types afraid of the Moon as far as a manned mission presence goes? Could it be that too much that was troubling was found in the sky over the Moon's surface that had to be hidden? Could it be that too much that was troubling was found in the Moon terrain that had to also be hidden? Now go back up to the first image and examine the Moon background terrain of the hills with a more critical eye. Does that gray waxy smooth terrain look real to you? Not easy to accept is it.

The above fifth image is of a section of the huge rock in the left foreground of this report's first image. As you can see, it is of the shadow side of the rock. I realize that it is dark in this shadow area and difficult to interpret details but what I want to draw your attention to is the lower more vertical area of the rock face with my two arrows and "True Rock Face" label on it. Note how this part of the rock face is more light reflective as is typical of geology.

Now above that label area where the various question marks appear note how the rock surface appears to be more light absorbing and covered with something on the angular slope of the rock moving up toward the rock top. Now look on the rock's far edge to the immediate right of my labeling where another question mark is located and note how something there seems to be wrapping around, folding over, and covering the more light reflective rock face there.

Could this be some sort of tough very close growing lichen type growth that looks more like rock when the sunlight is shinning brightly off of it on the left? It's not conclusive proof of anything but it is very suggestive and I thought you should at least take note of it.

Now in the above sixth image drawn from another different Hasselblad AS17-140-21495HR photo and the next frame taken very close in time to the previous Hasselblad AS17-140-21494HR image as the astronaut panned the camera and clicked in repeated shots, we come to one of the main reasons for this report with respect to the dark object pointed out by the red arrow. This is clearly not an object on the ground because it is not in any of the just before and just after immediately adjacent image frames and so it is clearly something in flight in the distance above and well beyond the rover's position on the ground.

You should know that the AS17-140-21495 image apparently comes in two different versions from two different official locations online. The one you see here came from the NASA Apollo 17 Image Library. At that location is a 120k image and a 908k image with the evidence here of course coming from the larger 908k HR (high resolution) image. However, this image is also available HERE at the Arizona State University (same entity that handles the official MRO imaging) Apollo Image Atlas.

The images there are only large thumbnails and no very large image version is offered. However, the large thumbnail image there is plenty clear enough to easily and quickly see that this anomalous dark object in flight does not appear at all in that image. This demonstrates that two different official versions of this image are floating around. One with the anomalous evidence in it and one where the anomalous evidence has apparently been removed from it. How does that grab you? Telling isn't it.

.

The above seventh and eighth images offer a decent closer view of the object. Unfortunately the side that we can see here is in dark shadow obscuring its detail even as we can see a bit of its upper surface reflecting sunlight. The panning shots made both before and after this shot do not reveal this object's presence anywhere in those images. Therefore it is safe to assume that this object was in flight and moving fairly rapidly.

Let's face it, we appear to be looking at a UFO on the Moon in 1972. It is obviously something artificially produced. Note its odd bulky industrial shape (perhaps shape distorted by shadow) and its lack of any evident airfoil principles demonstrated anywhere along the body. This suggests some sort of propulsion system unknown to us not dependent on speed and lift in any kind of atmosphere. Note that there may also be thin projections sticking off from it. I would guess that this object is at least as large as the rover (under it and in the foreground much closer to us) but much more bulky.

Could it be that, while astronauts Cernan and Schmitt on the ground were examining and camera recording their surroundings (truth not likely fully revealed here), someone else was closely examining them that wasn't suppose to exist? If you were these two men and were really on the Moon alone worried about getting home and this object you were unprepared to see flew this close and low so near your position and between you and the Lander as your only way home, do you think you would have developed some messy pants?

Well they probably took it fairly in stride and only a little unnerved. This was after all the last manned mission to land on the Moon to the present date, at least as publicly admitted to. In early Apollo missions, there were a number of communications between Earth mission control and the crew at the Moon discussing very excitedly UfOs and other things that clearly shook them up before they had presence of mind to start talking in code about them. So this Apollo 17 crew almost certainly knew what to expect.

I think we can all understand why such an anomalous object was removed from some of the data displaying this scene. We are just lucky that someone got careless and let this slip by to be included of all places in the NASA Apollo 17 Image Library. Now I have no idea whether this object's discovery was made by anyone else in the past or if any material was ever published on it or an official explanation made for it? If so, please bring any such published material to my attention for inclusion here as I would be curious to know how they dealt with this UFO if other than the usual of just ignoring it?

The above ninth, tenth and eleventh images are thrown in here for comparison purposes. The 9th image is the AS17-140-21494 Moon scene as in the first report image and the tenth image is a Mars scene as seen from either the Spirit or Opportunity rover. Truthfully I've forgotten where I got the Mars image from (perhaps by email?) and don't have the time to go and search for it and that is why that image has no identifying label.

The 11th image is the hill background in the Mars 10th image inverted and with a little quick crude basic blur treatment applied on the hill surfaces just to show you what manipulation can be done with graphics software to create the Moon surface smoothed indistinct look. The look and feel comparison with the Moon 9th image massif terrain should be obvious.

See anything that looks similar between these three images of different worlds taken decades apart? Note that the Mars scene is viewed at a slightly different angles than the Moon scene. There are of course other differences but I think you can also see the similarities in the background hills or massifs.

Is this just coincidence or are we just looking at examples of artificial terrain texture in similar variations in someone's database? Could we in both cases just be looking at the mesmerizing birdie dangling in front of us that someone wants us to concentrate on while the real space exploration visual work we paid for goes on unimpeded elsewhere to be confined into someone's secrecy?

I don't claim to know the answer to this but it's hard too not be suspicious considering all of the other evidence of obfuscation in space exploration imaging. I thought you would at least find the comparison interesting even if not conclusive.
