Alien Bases: The Mystery of the Moon
Posted on Friday, March 31, 2006 (CST) by Thoth
 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 isn’t 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.
Moon base
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 extraterrestrial 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.
An Alien Base on the Moon
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’s 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 extraterrestrial 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...”
Transient Lunar Phenomenon (TLP)
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 moonquakes, 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!
Telling Transcripts and the NASA Officials who spoke out
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."
Another NASA official,
Christopher Kraft, who was director of the NASA tracking base in
Houston during the Apollo Moon missions, revealed the following
conversation between Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Mission Control
after he left NASA:
Apollo 11: "Those are giant things. No, no, no .... this is not an optical illusion. No one is going to believe this!"
Mission Control (Houston Center): "What...what...what? What the hell is happening? What's wrong with you?"
Apollo 11: “They're here under the surface.”
Mission Control: "What's there? Emission interrupted...interference control calling Apollo II."
Apollo 11: "We saw some visitors. They were there for awhile, observing the instruments."
Mission Control: "Repeat your last information."
Apollo 11: "I say that there were other spaceships. They're lined up on the other side of the crater."
Mission Control: "Repeat...repeat!"
Apollo 11: "Let us sound this orbit a ..... In 625 to5...automatic relay connected...My hands are shaking so badly I can't do anything. Film it? God, if these damned cameras have picked up anything. What then?"
Mission Control: "Have you picked up anything?"
Apollo 11: "I didn't have any film at hand. Three shots of the saucers or whatever they were that were ruining the film."
Mission Control: "Control, control here. Are you on your way? Is the uproar with the U.F.O's. over?
Apollo 11: "They've landed there. There they are and they are watching us."
Mission Control: "The mirrors, the mirrors...have you set them up?"
Apollo 11: "Yes, they're in the right place. But whoever made those space ships surely can come tomorrow and remove them. Over and out."
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. However, 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.
Walker: "Bogey at 3 o'clock . . . God . . . what is it? My God - it's coming right at us . . ."
NASA: What's there?
Walker: THERE'S NO WAY! Oh God! Get back. MOVE!"
NASA: Endeavour! Endeavour! What . . . explain . . .
Walker: What the . . .
where are we? Where is it? Where . . . it's gone IT'S GONE. Not
(unintelligible) . . . UFO. Spacecraft . . . huge . . . intelligent .
. . OVER THERE!
NASA: Endeavour. Switch . . . NOW!
The tape ends abruptly with what would appear to be a NASA order for Walker to change radio frequency.
According to Kilner, "…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?
The Far Side of the Moon
 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.
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 we’ve already mentioned, the
moon is older than the Earth.
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.
Since the Dawn of Time
 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.
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.
“The moon is the Rosetta stone of the planets."

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Awesome article to say the least! I just want to add one thing. Many cultures of the past regarded the planet Venus to have great importance. Your article said that the moon accordian to some cultures arrived only 12,000 years ago. If this is true than before that time, the planet venus would have been the best way to chart the month or year. Many artifacts they've been finding has the transitions of venus scribed into them. and most are baffled by this. I think the book Uriel's Machine covers the objects they've been finidng. Hope that helps. :) |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | Its always interesting to question. However, the notion that the US abandoned moon exploration out of fear or expense lacks insight. It would seem the laws of discovery and ownership are the operative ideas here. The only fear was that the Soviet Union might land upon the moon first and claim ownerhip. The U.S. beat the C.C.C.P. to it, then transfered title of the Moon to the people of Earth as a collective posession. International law is clear in cases of discovery: the first to set foot on uninhabited 'land' may claim it. Or in cases of inhospitable terrain, the first to survey and map may own it. Under both of these cases the U.S. has right of priority. It is not likely that the oft repeated stories about the U.S. astronauts meeting otherwordly being or craft on the moon are true. But if there is some truth to those stories, the politics of Moon exploration also forestalled questions about whether ETs could sucessfully make a claim to the Moon. In addition, any attempt to claim or regain posession based upon a prior tenancy or creation by ETs was foiled since it would be considered abandoned or unimproved property, as the numerous moon landing showed. The stories of ETs on the moon (if true) bring more important questions to mind, such as: What they were doing there? and, Why they were hiding their presence? In the simplest terms, the moon belongs to the Earth by right of gravitational capture (at least). Any beings claiming to have rights there would be suspected of malicious intent, especially if they were concealing their presence in our 'backyard'. Those who are interested in UFO's would do well to ponder, not 'whether or not there are UFO's' but 'what does it mean to have stealthy visitors who hide in the shadows comming to our planet?' |

To your Moon article. The Moon is geologically different and perhaps older than Earth because it was originally one of the satellites of the planet Nibiru which collided with the planet Tiamat (now Earth) and was trapped into Earth orbit after that collision. In comparison to NASA there is no reason for not to believe what the Sumerians are telling us in their records.

Your little article verifies for me that the anomolies still stand and our moon is mysterious as ever. Is it a cover-up? It seems to me noone is really interested.

Yes, a very fascinating article. I worked for NASA as a quality assurance specialist from '88 to '89. I never heard any of these stories regarding the moon. I would not be in the least surprised now however. I worked on the shuttle program at the time.
Great website by the way. very interesting. I am a convert to ET and UFO now. it is only a matter of time before we find out the truth. Guad Joe |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Our Moon isn't the only moon that is thought to be hollow. Phobos, one of the moons of Mars, is believed to be hollow too.
Could this moon have served the same intent as ours does today?
Another strange thing about the Moon is that the material that normaly should make up it's interior is found on it's surface, leaving the impression that it was artificially hollowed out.
So it is possible that an alien base (abandondened or still in use) resides inside the Moon, with an exit, or exits, on the dark side.
Only time will tell what is, or what isn't, up there.
NASA's plans to revisit the Moon seems to indicate that they are up to make contact with who or whatever is up there. Could it be that the ET's have given America the green light to visit the Moon?
I will keep wondering.

(User Info | Send a Message) | everything i've ever read has pointed to a small, partially molten, metal alloy core, this being based on analysis of the moon's rotations. i've never heard of this hollow moon theory in any professional publication.
it's commonly agreed that the moon originated when a protoplanet about the size of mars slammed into earth, 4.5 billion years ago. there's a lot of evidence for this and the circumstances for it all seem to fit. where are these highly intelligent beings supposed to come in?
in this article, it says that "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". and yet, "evidence of Paleolithic knowledge of lunar phases dates back to around 23,000BC". right.
also, it's not like the far side of the moon is still a giant mystery. photographs have been taken of the far side by various probes. so where, exactly, are these moon aliens supposed to be hiding?
additionally, the possibility that any life has evolved to such an extent as us human beings have, or even beyond, is ridiculously remote. if life isn't actually a fluke of earth's rare, perfect conditions, then it will most likely not have evolved beyond simple prokaryotic form, i.e., bacteria.
not only that, but the universe is so unimaginably gigantic it's even less likely that any other life form exists in the same galaxy as us, let alone a solar system near earth. so even in the most outlandish of hypothetical situations, if some alien species of equal or greater intelligence to humans exist, they are probably too far away to be reached.
so an alien base on the moon? yeah right. |

(User Info | Send a Message) | Luke, you wrote "why is the us gov. not going to the moon just to stop by and fix ‘there’ ship or something."
No U.S. ships or any other manned ships have gone near the moon since the 70s, so there is no "ship" to fix. Since the moon landings ended with the Apollo program, all mankind has accomplished is to putter around in Earth orbit and study the effects of zero gravity on various organisms and chemical/elemental compounds (and probably experiment with new sexual positions by human astronauts made possible by zero gravity, as well).
If Columbus had landed in America, gone back and told Isabella and Ferdinand about it and they said "fine, now, just spend the rest of your life puttering up and down the coasts of Spain and Portugal because we really don't need anyone poking around over there," then that would have been comparable to what every country on Earth has done since the Apollo landings. But NO. Spain, and subsequently the rest of Europe, began a Golden Age of exploration and colonization. They knew there was a good reason for coming to the New World and it certainly wasn't for the purpose of merely setting up a place to "fix ‘there’ ship(s)” or to poke a flag in the ground and shag a golf ball.
Sure. The space programs of the U.S., Russia and Europe have been responsible for technologies that have given us here-to-for unbelievable products and processes. But aside from that, what the hell are we doing skimming around in low Earth orbit? Has to be:
1. costs vs. benefits
2. fear of the unknown (never stopped humans before; more of an enticement for us)
3. fear of the known (what the space program(s) have discovered...
a. ...that the scientists are afraid humankind, as a whole, can’t handle, psychologically
b. ...that the scientists have determined would be a threat to humankind, physically
I suspect the answer is 3, because humans are too stubborn to allow reasons 1 and 2 to be obstacles.
If it’s reason 3 then it would have to be 3-a, because if the reason were 3-b, why would these other worldly and advanced, physically dangerous entities settle for the Moon? They would have long ago come to Earth and wiped us off the sphere either to take Earth for themselves, wiped us out to ensure that we moronic, bumbling, warlike humans are not the same danger to them that we are to each other, or wiped us out simply because they are evil. If it’s 3-b then the operative phrase is “would have.” These entities have had ample time to complete the extermination process. If NASA is afraid of known dangerous entities then they have known about them since the 1970’s, at least. Ample time, indeed.
That leaves reason 3-a. Way too much of the human population would be overwhelmed, psychologically. The entire planet would be in chaos. The world economy would likely collapse. Some entire cultures/societies would be suicidal. If you thought cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad threw the world of Islam into a frenzy, just tell them that humans are NOT the end-all-be-all creation in Allah’s Universe. Moreover, tell them there are infidels living on the dark side of the Moon and there are no possible means to either convert them or destroy the ones who refuse to convert! I am a Christian and personally, while initially confounded, would be enthralled at the prospect of discovering new life from somewhere other than Earth. Unfortunately I suspect most of my fellow Christians would be just as schizoid about this revelation as would be the members of most all other religions. A disclosure of this magnitude would be so profoundly overawing that it simply boggles the mind to try and foretell what the reaction of the general populace of this planet would be. Even smug Humanists, who typically are too elite to allow anything to bother them, would be dumbfounded. Well, except for the hard core... Richard Dawkins, maybe.
