RE: Interpretation of anomalous structures on the moon, based on evidence shown
to me by Richard C. Hoagland on 24 April, 28 April, 7 May, and 11 May, 1994,
and discussions of said evidence with Hoagland.
Areas of interest: Central area and southwestern area og Sinus Medii, center
of moon disk; Mare Crisium, northwest area of moon disk.
DATA: All photographs at same scale.
Lunar Orbiter, February 1967
Original negative from National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard
Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD: III-84M of "Shard" and "Tower" on
southwest side of Sinus Medii from 30 miles altitude, taken by 3" camera
objective (film developed on board satellite; scanned with 6.5 mu dot scanner;
images transmitted, reconstructed, and reassembled at NASA). Horizon at 256
miles; "Shard" and "Tower" about 230 and 200 miles distance from camera,
respectively; resolution of Shard and Tower calculated at about 70 and 60
meters, respectively. Orientation of this photograph 45 degrees south of
Apollo 10; photographs AS10-32-4854, AS10-32-4855, and AS10-32-4856.
Surveyor 6, November 1967
One of seven photographs published in NASA Technical Report 32-1262 (NAS7-
100), entitled: Surveyor 6 Mission Report, part III. television data;
published by JPL at Cal. Tech., August 15, 1968. View angle of photograph west
from western part of Sinus Medii, showing refraction of intense light from Sun
(beads are image of photosphere) by surface material on horizon.
Apollo 10, May 1969
NASA catalog SP-232: AS10-32-4822, AS10-32-4854, AS10-32-4855, and AS10-32-4856
of Sinus Medii from 70 miles in orbit, taken by hand held Hasselblad camera.
Photographs 4854-56 looking west at terminator (lunar surface sunrise line)
from above eastern side of Sinus Medii; photograph 4822 looking northeast
across Ukert crater in the most intensively photographed northern edge of
Sinus Medii (this photograph intentionally blacked out on catalog).
The Lunar Orbiter photograph and the three sequential photographs AS10-32-
4854 - 56 taken from the Apollo spacecraft all show the "Tower" (and "Shard")
in the southwestern area of Sinus Medii from different angles and different
perspectives. The Surveyor 6 photograph shows anomalous geometric structures
above the ground, like those associated with the tower extending north of the
"Tower" for about a hundred miles. The censored Apollo 10 photograph near
Ukert crater shows anomalous geometric structures extending on the ground
extending for tens of miles over an area the size of the Los Angeles basin.
All of these unnatural structures appear to have sustained varying degrees of
damage from meteorite and micrometeorite impact. Small impact craters (1-2
miles), for example, exist within the anomalous area near Ukert, and clearly
post-date the anomalies. Recognition of such damage is important in
understanding and interpreting the nature and time sequence in the origin of
these structures.
Apollo 16, June 1972
NASA photograph AS16-121-19438, looking northwest from above the eastern edge
of Mare Crisium and across Mare Tranquilitatus form 70 miles altitude.
UKERT
Ukert is a crater-like feature that displays a circumscribed
equilateral triangle at full Moon (Noon local time) in its center. I agree
with Hoagland's interpretation that this triangle is not natural, because the
sides of the "crater" are much brighter only opposite the sides of this
triangle. The apices or angles of the triangle intersect the darkest three
areas of the "crater" rim, while the brightest three areas of the rim are
opposite the sides of the triangle. In addition, the brightest parts of the
rim are midway between the apices of the triangle, and are at 120 degrees
orientation from one another. If a line is drawn from the centers of each
bright area across the triangle to the opposing angle, the lines will exactly
bisect each angle. Such regular geometry is not a natural feature of any
terrain, either on Earth or on the Moon. Furthermore, the symbolism of an
equilateral triangle within a circle is a two dimensional representation of a
tetrahedral pyramid within a sphere. Tetrahedral geometry is the primary
message encoded in the geometry of the Cydonia complex on Mars (Hoagland,
1992; McDaniel, 1993).
THE SHARD
The Shard is an obvious structure which rises above the Moon's surface
by more than a mile. Its overall irregular spindly shape (containing a regular
geometric pattern) with constricted nodes and swollen internodes, if natural,
has got to be a wonder of the Universe. No known natural process can explain
such a structure. Computer enhancement with about 190 feet (60 meters)
resolution shows an irregular outline with more reflective and less reflective
surfaces. The amount of sunlight reflecting from parts of the Shard indicates
a composition inconsistent with that of most natural substances. Only crystal
facets and glass can reflect that much light (polished metallic surfaces are
unnatural). Single crystals the size of city blocks are currently unknown. I
concur with Hoagland that the Shard may be a highly eroded remnant of some
sort of artificial structure made of glass-like material. Other larger
structures and their reflectivity in the area support this theory.
THE TOWER
The Tower represents an enigma of the highest magnitude because it
rises more than five miles above the surface of the Moon, and has been
photographed from five different angles and two different altitudes (from 30
miles altitude, and from 70 miles altitude at three different distances). In
all four photographs the same structure is visible and can be viewed from two
different sides. The Tower exists in front of and to the left of the Shard in
the Lunar Orbiter III-84M photograph. The distance from the Tower and the
camera is estimated at about 200 miles, while the distance of the Shard beyond
the Tower is estimated at about 230 miles. The top of the Tower has a very
ordered cubic geometry, and appears to be composed of regular cubes (similar
in size) joined together to form a very large cube with an estimated width of
over one mile! There is apparent damage to the outline and surface of this
megacube, because many cubic spaces or indentations occur over its surface
(these spaces are 50 to 60 times larger than pixel size, and their shapes are
not controlled by the rectangular shape of the pixel). A narrow columnar
structure connects this cube with the surface of the Moon. The columnar
support is at least three miles tall, and tapers towards its base. The taper
may be in part due to perspective, if the Tower is oriented at an angle and is
leaning towards the camera. The leaning Tower may be part of a larger more
transparent structure, which is also inclined.
Surrounding the Tower are faint indications of additional light-
reflecting material. The amount of light coming from this material is very
small compared with the amount of light reflected off the lunar surface. In
order to make it visible, the surface of the Moon has to be over-exposed on
the photograph. The pattern that becomes visible above the moon's surface is
not caused by the scan lines that make up the Lunar Orbiter photography. The
scan lines can be seen clearly, and are oriented at different angles from the
orientation of patterns in the sky. The regular cubic and/or rectangular
nature of this pattern, and indications of radiating structures that connect
the Tower with the surface indicate that material of low light reflectivity
exists above the Moon's surface over a large area measured in hundreds of
miles. The irregular splotchy reflection from some of this aerial material may
be due to meteorite and projectile damage over millions of years. Its highly
transparent nature (bright stars can be seen behind and through this material)
indicates either an open grid with cubic spaces or glass-like material held
together by some sort of structural grid or a combination of both. Other
photographs described below confirm the size and extent of this grid-like
construction.
THE SKY GRID
The Surveyor 6 photograph of the Sun's corona at the horizon
(Photograph published in NASA Technical Report 32-1262) is a view just to the
north of the Tower (less than 100 miles). Total image was recorded in primary
data, and variations in image reproduction are due to processing differences.
Two major anomalies are apparent in this photograph: 1) sunlight at the
surface of the Moon is refracted towards the camera and appears as elongate
beads of bright light on top of the horizon (JPL measurements indicate light
saturation for the camera was reached in these beads); 2) a regular cubic
pattern of horizontal benches appears above the surface, and extends nearly as
high as the view in the photograph to an altitude of several miles. Due to the
angle of incidence of backlit sunlight from the Sun, which was located below
the horizon, the visibility of the pattern above the surface decreases with
increasing angular reflection from the center of the Sun. This means that
whatever was causing the reflection and refraction above the Moon's surface is
geometrically dependent on the Sun's position below the Moon's horizon, and is
therefore not likely an artifact of imaging, reproduction, or processing. Six
additional pictures of this horizon were taken within 90 minutes, and if
available (obtainable) will provide additional data for further analysis.
The bright beads of light on the surface decrease or become non-
continuous laterally along the horizon. This anomalous beading was explained
by NASA as diffraction by fine dust suspended above the surface. No such
suspended dust was found by the Apollo astronauts, and an alternative
hypothesis is warranted. I agree with Hoagland's interpretation that:
a) the light is refraction, and b) the intense concentration of light is
likely caused by glass imaging the Sun from beyond the horizon. It is unlikely
that the material causing this phenomenon is natural dust or glass tectites on
the surface, which are largely opaque to only partly transparent. The glass
refracting the light has to be nearly transparent to transmit so much light to
such a height above the surface, particularly if the refracting material has
any depth to it. It may represent the basal more intact part of a
superstructure that is apparent above the surface. Because of less damage, and
more massive glass support structures at the base (visible in some photographs
as a hierarchy of stacked glass arches, each with expanded bases), more light
is conducted and focussed there as a series of glass lenses. Simple reflection
can be ruled out as an explanation for the beads because of the position of
the Sun below the horizon.
The three Apollo 10 photographs showing the Tower in the distance also
show the grid structure from above. These photographs were taken at three
different distances from the Tower as the Apollo spacecraft moved towards the
Tower. Within the sky above the horizon and around the Tower a regular grid
pattern emerges with proper contrast control. This grid pattern appears to be
three-dimensional, and is expressed as dark lines with random points of
reflection around those lines. The grid appears to be some sort of support
structure, perhaps formed from a metallic rebar. The reflective material
associated with it is cubic and hexagonal in design, but incomplete. With
different attitudes or angles of sight, different areas of the grid structure
become illuminated or reflective, implying that angle of incidence is
important. I agree with Hoagland's interpretation of this material as remnant
portions of the glass structure, which still remains attached and suspended
above the Moon's surface on a metallic cross support structure. The Tower, by
contrast, is visible in all three photographs, because there is much more
glass remaining than on the suspended grid structure around the Tower. Even
from different angles and distances in these photographs, the top of the Tower
appears as a giant cube made up of smaller cubic and hexagonal objects.
There is no way to get around this evidence once it becomes apparent.
Altering the contrast of the Moon's surface can make this faint structure
disappear, but such photographic manipulation (of NASA catalogs) will not
invalidate it. The evidence that Hoagland has brought to light may assail
one's sensibilities because of its magnitude and artificial implication, but
it cannot be dismissed or ignored. It is there and it must be explained.
THE CITY COMPLEX NEAR UKERT
Photograph AS10-32-4822 in NASA catalog SP-232 is blacked out, along
with several other photographs. When it was ordered, the image was of high
quality, contrary to what was implied by it being blacked out in the catalog.
Instead of a poor photograph, the image shows features near Ukert crater that
defy conventional explanation. A linear dome-shaped hill runs diagonally
across the photograph. To the north of that hill a large area exists with
regularly aligned rows of structure. Within this anomalous area more than a
dozen small craters can be seen that modify the landscape. From a distance
the regular rows appear like benches. On Earth such a feature would be
interpreted as the pattern produced by the eroded edges of layered rocks that
dip below the surface. But on the Moon there have been no physical processes
that can account for such a regular geologic structure. Furthermore, rills and
wrinkles on the surface of a cooling magma outflow do not form such a regular
pattern, as is evident in so many mare on the Moon. And this anomalous pattern
has definite boundaries beyond which it is absent.
Upon magnification, this anomalous pattern begins to take on a
different character: Rectangular features exist along the rows, with many
having gaps between them. In addition, thin spires project up from the surface
in several places along some rows. Upon further magnification some of the
rectangular structures take on a form like buildings and skyscrapers.
Resolution at high magnification (for the image I saw) is not good enough to
resolve more than the outlines of possible buildings. The whole area resembles
what one might expect for a city the size of Los Angeles that had been
abandoned and left to decay for centuries. The crater impacts and constant
barrage from micrometeorites over millions of years would have provided an
abrasive force as damaging as our weather and earthquakes on Earth over
centuries or even decades.
I agree with Hoagland that someone or some group within NASA
deliberately concealed this picture in the catalog because of its content, and
that this area may contain one of several city complexes that were built under
an enormous glass dome within Sinus Medi. The sheer implications of such
massive structures on the Moon, if verified by an open and honest visit by
astronauts to the Moon, would cause man to rethink many ideas and question
many beliefs about other intelligent life in the Universe. Clearly, such
structures are well beyond our current technologies, and rank with the
Pyramids and Sphinx on Earth, and with the Cydonia complex and its humanoid
face on Mars, as major mysteries of our Solar System.
THE DOME OVER MARE CRISIUM
Further evidence for such massive constructs on the Moon can be found
in Mare Crisium. The photograph that Hoagland showed me of that area (NASA
photograph 1) has a strange set of large, concentric, circular light
patterns within the mare. To one side an enormous spire or tower rises from
the surface within the perimeter of these light circles. Magnification of the
area around this spire shows cubic patterns like those around the Tower in
Sinus Medii. Numerous holes of various size can be detected within this cubic
pattern, probably caused by meteorites. Around the edges of these holes I can
see layers of light-reflecting cubic glass-like material and suggestions of
strands of rebar support. Below this cover on the ground there is more
structure, which can be detected under some of the larger holes. There is an
unusual interference pattern below the cubic pattern as well. None of these
patterns can be explained as normal or natural. I interpret the major cubic
pattern as reflections off rebar and micrometeorite-frosted glass of the dome
that covers most of Mare Crisium. I interpret the pattern below the dome as
possibly caused by artificial structures on the surface of the Moon, such as
the city-like construct near Ukert, and the concentric circles of light over
the surface of Mare Crisium as light reflection and refraction through the
remaining portions of the glass dome.
I support Hoagland's interpretation that the anomalous patterns in
photographs from Sinus Medii and Mare Crisium cannot be explained as natural.
I further support his interpretation that these patterns above the surface are
caused by enormous structures of artificial origin, structures that may
represent the remains of glass domes that were built to cover, protect, and
provide a life-support environment for habitable structures on the surface.
Clearly, further independent investigation and analysis by experts is
warranted. There is also a relevant need to press the Pentagon into releasing
all 1.5 million Clementine photographs immediately and without censorship.
