Text: I thought I would talk about the whole moon base idea, before I move on to more important topics, since it was brought up by somebody in a private message that I received. For tens of thousands of years, mankind has looked to the Moon as a source of superstition and wonderment. When Neil Armstrong took that historical first step on the moon on July 21st 1969, it seemed that mankind had finally conquered our enigmatic satellite. But did we, or did we simply scratch the surface and beat a hasty retreat? There are dozens of anomalous facts concerning the moon that science is at a loss to explain, not least of which is how it is that according to the analysis of moon rocks, the moon, is at least a billion years older than the Earth itself. This fact alone seems to defy logic, and is something that modern cosmology is unable to explain, if the moon is not a fragment of the Earth, what is it, and how did it get here? When you couple that with the fact that an awful lot of people believe the moon to be an alien base of some kind, we begin to realise that we no nearer understand the moon now, than our ancestors did thousands of years ago. The Apollo Moon landings heralded a new era in mankind's technological development, man had finally left our own planet, travelled around 385,000 km, and was walking on a new and unfamiliar territory. It seemed to all that we had the perfect opportunity to further our understanding of how our universe was created and our knowledge of the moon itself. During the next three years, six missions to the moon were made and a total of twelve astronauts walked on the moon. The US has been victorious in the space race, between them and what was then the Soviet Union, and it seemed natural that they would formalise that victory and claim their territory with something more substantial than planting the American flag. At the very least, it was expected that NASA would create a long term strategy for rock and mineral sampling and exploring the surface of the moon. Each of the six lunar expeditions NASA had committed itself to were completed, although the Apollo 13 mission was unsuccessful. However, after Apollo 17, no new missions were scheduled. According to the space agency, there was 'nothing else that could be learned' from visiting the moon and the program was shelved. Likewise, the former Soviet Union carried out its scheduled lunar exploration and then quietly sidelined its projects. Some commentators have suggested that both superpowers realised that the idea of creating moon bases or long term missions was cost prohibitive. A growing number of people however, are convinced that both superpowers were 'warned off', by an extra terrestrial race that had already established a base on the far side of the moon. In any case, shortly after its 'discovery', the moon was abandoned by both superpowers that chose instead to invest tens of billions of dollars doing little more than flying around in circles. For the next thirty years the continuous orbiting of our own planet took priority to the scientific exploration of the moon. It is only recently that plans have been announced for a new expedition, and a base to be constructed on the moon, even so, most of the work will be done with robots, and humans will not actually return to the moon until 2018. Creating a base on the moon has been a dream for many people over the years, but is there actually a base on the moon already, one that is not of our making? To many people the idea that the moon could be an alien base sounds preposterous, a fanciful claim straight out of comic books, but there are many strange facts about the moon and the Apollo landing itself that do suggest that our knowledge is far from complete. In fact there is sufficient evidence for us to consider the idea that the moon itself is an artificial construct, a massive extra terrestrial base. One of the most notable pieces to support the alien base theory, are several radio transmissions between the Apollo crew and mission control. Part of the transmission where Armstrong mentioned, 'strange lights', was apparently broadcast live as was Armstrong's comment, 'We have company', before NASA officials hurriedly pulled the plug. A variety of sources claim that radio hams picked up the following communication before the crew switched to a secure channel. "These babies are huge, sir...enormous....Oh 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..." I will talk more about this in the next part, duties call I'm afraid. I look forward to hearing your views on this subject. Until then, peace out.

Part 2

Text: Transient Lunar Phenomenon, is the term used to describe the inexplicable change of colour or shape that occurs on the surface of the moon. Could this account for what the Apollo 11 astronauts witnessed? It is thought that some of these phenomena, which appear as red or white hazes are caused by gas escaping from underground cavities after moon quakes, so it can't be ruled out as natural phenomena. The question is, would two highly trained astronauts mistake escaping gas for alien craft? It's certainly possible, but if that was the case surely NASA would have been quick to tell us this? It's not just strange coloured lights that appear on the moon. In 1953, John J. O'Neill and Dr H. Wilkens both independently observed a 12-mile-long 'bridge' straddling the crater Mare Crisium. The bridge later disappeared! However, the images I am now showing on screen, shows that the "Bridge on the Moon," at the western edge of Mare Crisium, is an optical illusion, with sunlight shining right through it.(The eye can perceive that the two promontories are connected, but the unsympathetic eye of a digital camera clearly shows they are not.) Ten years after the moon landings, Maurice Chatelain, the former chief of NASA Communications Systems, confirmed that Armstrong did report seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. "The encounter was common knowledge in NASA," he revealed, "but nobody has 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 Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Moscow University. "Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control, that two large mysterious objects were watching them after having landed near the moon module. But his message was never heard by the public-because NASA censored it." According to another Soviet scientist, Dr. Aleksandr Kazantsev, Buzz Aldrin took color movie film of the UFOs from inside the module, and continued filming them after he and Armstrong went outside. Dr. Azhazha claims that the UFOs departed minutes after the astronauts came out on to the lunar surface.Maurice Chatelain also confirmed that Apollo 11's radio transmissions were interrupted on several occasions, in order to hide the news from the public. Before dismissing Chatelain's sensational claims, it is worth noting his impressive background in the aerospace industry and space program. His first job after moving from France was as an 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 telecommunications systems for Ryan. One of his eleven patents was an automatic flights to the Moon. Later, at North American Aviation, Chatelain was offered the job of designing and building the Apollo communications and data-processing systems. Chatelain claims that "all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extra terrestrial origin-flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name. 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 code name '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 on board 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."

AUDIO FROM APOLLO 8:

In the next video, which should be the final part, I will talk about the chilling encounter the Apollo 11 crew had with UFOs on the moon, and talk about how the space shuttle Endeavour, had an encounter with what was said to be a city sized spacecraft in the 1990's. Until then, as always, peace out.

Part 3

Text: If the Apollo report was a one off, we could maybe put it down to the effects of space or some unknown anomalous lunar phenomena. I have been able to find no other evidence supporting the fact this transmission actually took place, between the Apollo 11 crew and Mission Control. I guess it's a case of accepting Christopher Krafts word for it, and it's worth noting his impressive background within the space program. It leaves two simple and obvious answers, the event never took place, or it did! I guess the only two people who know for sure what really happend, are the ones that were up there, Neil Armstrong, and Buzz Aldrin. Without any concrete evidence, it is impossible to know for sure whether the Apollo 11 crew had an encounter with extra terrestrial spacecraft, or if the moon houses an alien base of some kind. However, supposed extra terrestrial craft encounters were not limited to Gemini or Apollo missions. There have been several other 'contacts' between NASA craft and UFOs, notably in the early 90's, when according to author William Kliner, the following conversation between David Walker, Endeavours shuttle and mission control was recorded.

(VIEW VIDEO SCREEN)

The tape ends abruptly with what would appear to be a NASA order for Walker to change radio frequency. According to Kliner, "...the spacecraft was the size of a small city, and glowed bright green as it approached the shuttle. At some point during the encounter, the UFO veered off course to avoid a collision." If this really was an alien spaceship, where was it coming from or going to we wonder? Could it be that sitting there on the far side of the moon is an alien base? Ultimately, it is up to the listener or viewer to decide whats fact and whats fiction. All this information can be researched by the way, and this has all but merely revealed a tiny fraction of what is possibly going on up there. Fact is, looking at everything, and what 'evidence' there is, it is not solid enough proof to say conclusively these events took place, or that there is infact an alien base on or inside the moon. However, I will make one more video regarding this matter, about some bizarre facts on our unnatural satellite. One of the strange facts about the moon is that it appears to be hollow. As the Earth's natural satellite, the moon has always been assumed to be a homogenous sphere that was created at the same time as the Earth, but there are various indications that this is not the case, as I have already mentioned in part 1, the moon is older than the Earth. So, until then, as always, peace out.

Part 4

Text: The moon is the only moon in the solar system that has a stationary, near-perfect circular orbit. Over the eons, the gravitational forces of the Earth have slowed down the moon's rotation about its axis, until the rotational period exactly matches the revolution period of the Earth. This means that there is one side of the moon that we never see from Earth. In theory, the far side of the moon, often referred to as the dark side of the moon, could easily contain an alien base, as this is the side of the moon that we never ever see, even radio signals are blocked in that area. There is another theory about alien bases being on the moon, which states that the whole of the moon is a completely artificial construct, that was put there by an alien race when life on Earth began. Evidence for the moon being hollow comes from a variety of experts and in some cases predates the lunar landings. In 1962, Dr. Gordon MacDonald, one of NASAs own scientists, reviewed data relating to the density of the Earth, which calculated that the moon's mean density was 3.34 gm/cm3, (3.34 times an equal volume of water), in comparison the Earth's density is 5.5 gm/cm3. This led him to observe, "If the astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data requires that the interior of the moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous sphere." The Nobel award winning chemist, Dr. Harold Urey, has also suggested that the moon contains a 'cavity', and MIT's Dr. Sean C. Solomon is on record as saying, "the Lunar Orbiter experiments vastly improved our knowledge of the moon's gravitational field....indicating the frightening possibility that the moon might be hollow." According to Dr Carl Sagan in his treatise, 'Intelligent Life in the Universe', "A natural satellite cannot be a hollow object. If this is true and the moon is indeed hollow, then that suggests that there is something very strange about our satellite." There is further evidence from NASA missions that suggests the moon is hollow. When the crews of Apollo 12 and Apollo 13 jettisoned modules onto the moon's surface, they found that they created artificial moon quakes. The impact from the Apollo 12 jettison caused the moon to reverberate like a bell for over an hour. This phenomenon was repeated with Apollo 13, with even more amazing results, in all the reverberation lasted for three hours and twenty minutes and travelled to a depth of twenty-five miles. Analysis of this data led to the conclusion that the moon has no substantial core. If the moon is indeed artificial, it could have been put into place at any time during Earth's history. Texts from as far a field as Europe and South America, speak of ancient people who lived on Earth before the Earth had a moon. In Greece they were called Proselene, meaning 'before the moon'. Apparently, in South America, symbols found on the wall of the Courtyard of Kalasasaya, near the city of Tiahuanaco, (in Bolivia), record that the moon first appeared around 12,000 years ago. The appearance of the moon was said to have caused great disruption to the Earth in the form of earthquakes, massive flooding and climate changes. Interestingly, this remote site has been suggested by some scholars as being the actual location of Plato's legendary Atlantis, and this great planetary upheaval as being the cataclysmic event that destroyed Atlantis. The idea of a world without a moon, also survives in oral tradition among the Indians of the Bogota highlands in the eastern Cordilleras of Colombia. "In the earliest times, when the moon was not yet in the heavens," say the tribesmen of Chibchas, when relating to ancient times. Whether this method of story telling relates to an actual physical absence of the moon, or is simply used as a metaphor to say a very long time ago is open to debate. The truth is we just don't know whether it is yet another tantalising piece of the puzzle.

Part 5

Text: (CONTINUED FROM PART 4)
The moon governs our tides and seasons, so perhaps the easiest way of verifying the data is to look at geological records showing the tides. In ancient times many calendars were lunar based and evidence of Paleolithic knowledge of lunar phases dates back to around 23,000BC, as is evidenced by the Perigordian bas-relief known as the "Goddess of Laussel", where the crescent moon is depicted as a horn. There are 13 clearly engraved vertical strokes thought to represent the number of moons in a lunar year. Early evidence of man's interest in the moon is surprisingly scarce, which is surprising given that it should have played such a big part in their every day life, after all the moon would be looking over them every night. Isaac Asimov once commented that: "There is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion." This "coincidence" means that the moon is just the right size and distance, to completely block the sun during an eclipse. Eclipses are infrequent events but are often linked to quite serious earthquakes. Was the moon placed in a very specific orbit by a higher intelligence from another world, who wanted to either monitor us as a species or exert an element of control over our planet? All we can say for sure, is that despite our supposed advanced technology, NASA seems to be able to offer very few answers to our questions about the moon. The veil of secrecy that surrounds the truth means that the facts are often suppressed, because it is not deemed 'in the public's interest' for them to be made known. Sooner or later though, it is inevitable that the moon will reveal its secrets, and a whole new chapter in our understanding of the universe might well be opened when that happens. I hope you have enjoyed this series of videos, and that it has educated and informed you, and has sparked enough interest for you to investigate this matter further. The next series of videos will be about something entirely different. So until then, as always, peace out.
