Could the moon be populated by Aliens?

From Examiner.com

This fascinating article relates the possibility that the Moon is populated by extra-terrestrials. NASA witness testimony clearly states that this is so. If this is the case, what would be the purpose of the controlled explosion planned for October 9? And what would be the purpose of further manned missions to this mysterious satellite? If we were indeed kicked off the moon, one can only speculate that our return would have to be a negotiated affair. I think it is time for us to train telescopes on the moon and keep watch. Airbrushed lunar surface photos clearly don't help the situation.

NASA: LCROSS bombing of Moon, Oct. 9, 2009 (Depic)

The planned October 9, 2009 bombing of the moon by a NASA orbiter that will bomb the moon with a 2-ton kinetic weapon to create a 5 mile wide deep crater as an alleged water-seeking and lunar colonization experiment, is contrary to space law prohibiting environmental modification of celestial bodies. The NASA moon bombing, a component of the LCROSS mission, may also trigger conflict with known extraterrestrial civilizations on the moon as reported on the moon in witnessed statements by U.S. astronauts Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong, and in witnessed statements to NSA (National Security Agency) photos and documents regarding an extraterrestrial base on the dark side of the moon.

If the true intent of the LCROSS mission moon bombing is a hostile act by NASA against known extraterrestrial civilizations and settlements on the moon, then NASA and by extension the U.S. government are guilty of aggressive war which is the most serious of war crimes under the U.N. Charter and the Geneva Conventions, to which the U.S. is subject. The U.N. Outer Space Treaty, which the U.S. has ratified, requires that “ The moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all States Parties to the Treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes. The establishment of military bases, installations and fortifications, the testing of any type of weapons and the conduct of military manoeuvres on celestial bodies shall be forbidden.” 98 nations have ratified and 125 nations have signed the U.N. Outer Space Treaty.

NASA’s LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission

The NASA LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite) mission, which departed on Earth on June 18, 2009. According to one report, “Flying over the moon's southern hemisphere, LCROSS will use its high-precision instruments, as well as close-up images of the terrain gathered by the lunar orbiter, to seek out a crater just shallow enough and dark enough to be a prime bombing target.

“There, acting as what the Ames team calls its "shepherding spacecraft," LCROSS will guide an empty Centaur rocket weighing two tons toward its target. The rocket will crash into the crater at 5,600 mph, creating a new crater - perhaps as large as 5 miles wide. The crash is scheduled to occur Oct. 9.”

The two-ton Centaur rocket qualifies as a space-based kinetic weapon. The reason alleged by NASA for the mission is that “the [LCROSS} probes will map possible landing sites and search for water sources that could be used by a future lunar colony.”

According to NASA, “The Mission Objectives of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS) include confirming the presence or absence of water ice in a permanently shadowed crater at the Moon’s South Pole. The identification of water is very important to the future of human activities on the Moon. LCROSS will excavate the permanently dark floor of one of the Moon’s polar craters with two heavy impactors in 2009 to test the theory that ancient ice lies buried there. The impact will eject material from the crater’s surface to create a plume that specialized instruments will be able to analyze for the presence of water (ice and vapor), hydrocarbons and hydrated materials.”

U.S. astronauts, NASA employees, Soviet scientists, NSA confirm the extraterrestrial presence on the moon

There are confirmed reports of an extraterrestrial presence on the moon, both from U.S. astronauts who have visited the moon, from NASA employees, from Soviet scientists and observers of the NASA moon visits, and from witnessed NSA (National Security Agency) reports on a moon based on the far side of the moon.

One report states that, “In a 2006 television documentary, ‘Apollo 11: The Untold Story,’ Buzz Aldrin admitted for the first time publicly that the astronauts saw UFOs on their trip to the Moon, but they were not allowed to discuss this information on the live audio feed to NASA. He stated that he felt it would have caused a ‘panic.’”

Other research on witnessed corroboration of U.S. astronaut sightings of an extraterrestrial presence on the Moon states, “According to hitherto unconfirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after their historic landing on the Moon in Apollo 11 on 21 July 1969. I remember hearing one of the astronauts refer to a "light" in or on a carter 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 Binder, unnamed radio hams with their own VHF receiving facilities that bypassed NASA's broadcasting outlets picked up the following exchange:

“NASA: What's there? Mission Control calling Apollo 11...

“Apollo: 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 Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications Systems 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 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 extraterrestrial 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."

NSA photos, documents of an extraterrestrial base on the dark side of the moon

Former USAF U.S. Sgt. Karl Wolfe, a Disclosure Project witness, describes photos, documents of extraterrestrial bases on the dark side of the moon that he witnessed at the NSA (National Security Agency), in the 1960s. One report states that “Sgt Wolfe was working with Tactical Air Command at Langley Air Force Base in Virginia in 1965. There, he was assigned to the lunar orbital project with the National Security Agency where he met an airman who confided in him that they had discovered bases in the far side of the moon.”

Sgt Wolfe’s Disclosure Project testimony, in which he states that he is willing to testify under oath before the U.S. Congress, can be seen in the video below.


One account states, “The airman told him (Wolfe) that all of the NASA photographs were sent to Langley, where they were enhanced, and eventually made into photographs to be sent to and studied by the different branches of the military. He was also told why security was of the utmost importance at the lab on this particular day-recent enhanced imagery had clearly shown structures on the far side of the Moon. These structures were definitely not created by natural forces-they were made by intelligent beings.

“’We discovered,’ the airman said, ‘a base on the back side of the Moon.’

Wolfe was in no way prepared for what he had just been told. When he airman saw Wolfe nearly shaking in disbelief, he reiterated:

“’Yes, a base on the dark side of the Moon.’

“Although Wolfe had not actually been told that some alien intelligence had made the aforementioned structures, who else could it have been? Although Russia had flown unmanned vessels around to the far side, no landing had been made, and the resources and technology needed to build a station there were far beyond that of Russia at the time. Had they made a landing on the Moon, the entire world would have known about it. And Wolfe knew America was still years from a Moon landing.

“His anxiety reached a new level. He was looking at, and being told about, something that he should not have seen or known about. He was actually afraid of being arrested and a court martial. He only wanted to finish his job, and get out of there, and forget the whole incident. He would finish the repair he was called to do, but he could never forget what he had seen that day at Langley. He would tell not a soul for 30 years.

“His release from the military also required that he not leave the United States for five years. This was a condition of his security status. He also was sworn to not reveal anything he had seen while performing his duties in the military. Wolfe would eventually put a report on what he had seen on video, which is now available on the Internet. There have also been several ex-NASA employees who have come forward telling of their experiences in air brushing structures out of NASA photographs of the Moon.”

A UFO is Still a UFO if it's unidentified

Maybe it is time to come up with a new term for an extra-terrestrial aerial object. Regardless of origin, a (an?) UFO is and will always be unidentified. Until, of course, it is identified.


English Channel night sky peppered by UFOs?

A fresh wave of UFO sightings reportedly viewed by hundreds of onlookers late on Monday night have been explained away as nothing more ominous or otherworldly than a dazzling downpour of galactic debris.

More pointedly, British coastguard officials have moved to quash fanciful stories of alien visitation, claiming that widespread reports of strange lights hurtling through the night sky above the English Channel coincided with an expected meteor shower.

“There were reports of flares all down the coast, which went on for about half and hour but there was a forecast for a meteor shower,” commented a Solent Coastguard spokesman.

“At some times of the year you get known showers, although I’m not sure if this was one of them, but certainly on a clear night it’s not uncommon to see them,” he added. “You get reports right along the coast virtually simultaneously, that’s the give away really.”

Meteor shower or otherwise, the lightshow was seen and reported by people all along the English coastline from Hampshire down to Devon, and also on the Channel Island of Jersey and across the thin body of water in France.

With shocked callers claiming to be witness to a series of glowing green and white lights darting across the sky at around 21:30 on Monday night, it is believed the meteor shower was likely one of three officially forecast to happen during the summer months.

Monday night’s meteor shower follows on from last week’s close encounter experienced by German teenager Gerrit Blank (14) who suffered a glancing blow to the hand by a meteorite travelling at 30,000 miles per hour as he walked to school.

Alien Abductions, Screen Memories and Subterfuge

I really like this blog posting I found. It's a personal recounting and criticism of the Abduction Phenomenon by someone who has given it considerable thought and study. Being a filmmaker who has made four UFO documentaries, including one that features two of the three Abduction researchers mentioned here, I have to sympathize somewhat with the author.

UFOS, Aliens, and Me

By pgrundy


Last night I watched the first episode of "UFO Hunters" on the History Channel. It was pretty stupid. Four guys, all supposed 'specialists' and scientists, go around looking for proof of alien visitation. They do not find it. Big surprise. It's no "Ghost Hunters," I'll say that much, though it is clearly patterned after that popular show. Same structure, same gimmick, only the volume is turned up about a hundred notches and the guys don't grow on you like the Ghost Hunter guys do. These guys are just annoying.

The show got me thinking though, about the evolution of the whole UFO phenomenon and my personal relationship to it, which has by turns, over time, been one of fascination, skepticism, irritation, confusion, and creative theory. As a child I was fascinated by the very idea of extraterrestrial visitation, and frequently had vivid dreams about it. I remember in particular one "Twilight Zone" episode about a creature on the wing of an airplane taunting the only guy who could see it. I was about 8, I think, and that one kept me up all night.

As a kid I had vivid dreams of flying and, curiously, vivid nightmares about the Virgin Mary, who has been connected to the UFO phenomenon by several prominent writers. The flying dreams felt absolutely real, and involved simply looking down over the terrain of the neighborhood I lived in while sailing over it. In the dream, the map of the terrain was fairly accurate with blocks being where they should be and everything occuring in real time, at night. The Virgin Mary dreams were much more bizarre. In these dreams I would peek into a neighbor's window and see the Virgin Mary standing in the center of the room. Upon seeing her, I would instantly feel utter, indescribable terror. It wasn't like seeing a live person, but rather like seeing something terrifying in a full-body Virgin Mary mask.

Folklorists and ufologists have long noted that BVM sightings (Blessed Virgin Mary) are often very similar to UFO sightings, with bright lights (think Fatima), apocalyptic messages (pray, the end is near), and virutally no physical proof that the phenomenon ever happened. I hit my teens and early twenties just as the UFO sighting craze was morphing into the alien abduction craze. Bud Hopkins was cranking out bestsellers and hypnotizing housewives all over the place, and wouldn't you know it, abductees were everywhere, just waiting to pour out the truth that Hopkins swore was out there. I read Hopkins first book and felt sick at my stomach throughout, 'recognizing' the aliens described as components of other vivid dreams and 'memories' of things that had never really happened to me. I wrote to Hopkins, and he called me on the telephone about a month later. He was floored by my letter, and he wanted to hypnotize me. he was absolutely sure there was much, much more under the surface...but first he wanted me to fill out a questionaire. When the questionaire came, I saw immediately that it was basically a 100-question primer for exactly what Hopkins expected abductees to say under hypnosis. He was coaching them with this 'questionaire' and anyone who didn't answer it correctly was crossed of his hypnotee list. This honked me off. What a charlatan. What a creep. I threw the questionaire away and resolved to figure the whole thing out myself.

I went to graduate school to study paranormal events and myth. By this time I was in my 30s, and determined to get to the bottom of something, even though I had pretty much no idea what it was. I took courses in psychology, philosophy, and philosophy of science. I got straight As and presented papers at academic conferences and forums. And, probaly most importantly of all, I had a nervous breakdown. Memories of a violent crime that damaged me badly in my twenties came crashing in on me so strongly they felt hallucinogenic. They were disruptive and crippling. I got myself a therapist and hobbled across the grad school finish line and into a part-time adjunct teaching gig that I quit after a year. About this same time, a professor at Indiana University did some experiments in 'false memory symdrome,' and they hit the press in a very sensational way. Because of that, and because of my own distress, it was important to me to verify my 'memories' of assault, and sadly, I was able to do this fairly easily. My family remembered, others remembered, it seemed I was the only one who had been out of the loop. Amnesia in a common and well-known reaction to trauma: often victims never remember car accidents, crimes, etc. I realized that my alien 'memories' were inextricably intertwined with my assault memories, and it hit me that they were protective screen memories. People don't deal well with the brutal victimization of others, but UfOs and aliens they like. In other words, socially speaking, it is much more acceptable to be an alien abductee than a victim of a violent crime--it makes people curious instead of horribly uncomfortable. Suddenly it all made sense.

I began to gobble up skeptical books by the dozens. I wrote to Hopkins and also to David Jacobs and John Mack and explained to them that they were wrong, and that what they were doing might be actually harmful to people who may have suffered real trauma and were covering it over with fantasy. No one responded, to my total lack of surprise. I wrote up my theory for the Skeptical Inquirer and they printed it up and praised it. That felt good, but not for very long. What bothered me was the vividness of all these non-memory UFO-related memories. They did not just feel real, they felt hyper-real, realer than real. In fact, to this day I can only dimly remember fractured bits and pieces of my assault, but I vividly remember exactly what an alien's face looks like and how it feels to look into it. I am in my 50s now, and quite happily recovered from any earlier trauma. I have a great life. When I watch UFO shows, I feel fairly convinced that a big part of the 40s and 50s incidents was a government psi-op disinformation campaign, designed to take the American public's mind off nuclear proliferation and other scary weapons in development. By the 70s and 80s, we were deeply into biological warfare, and suddenly the aliens were back, but this time they were abducting people and doing medical experiments on them. The parallels are hard to miss. But I still have come to no sweeping conclusions. The phenomenon will not die. It is somehow tied into our age, inscribed on our collective unconscious in ways that even we do not understand. The unifying theme is either deception, total loss of control, or apolcalypse, and sometimes all three. And people who have direct experiences never forget them, they just learn to shut up.

If only the 'UFO Hunters' weren't such clowns. That too is part of the whole scene: it seems you can't be a UFO investigator unless you have a tic or a bad toupee, and also a proclivity for reciting lines from bad sci-fi movies in an overanimated way. But it's okay. I have learned to live with mystery and confusion. It's called life. And maybe ultimately, that is what it's all about.
