Mysteries of the moon - the latest data. Mysterious mysteries of the moon Ship of an alien civilization

The first man walked on the moon on July 20, 1969. In total, six of the nine planned 24-person manned expeditions visited there, 12 of which went to the lunar surface. In the early seventies, the Soviet Union and the United States competed to win the Silver Ball. It is known that the two superpowers were planning to create bases on the Moon, in which they intended to place space-based attack and defense systems.

Suddenly, without explanation, the two countries interrupted the expedition. They abandoned the undoubted advantages of colonizing the Moon in order to later build a much more expensive orbital laboratory complex in Earth orbit. The reasons for this sudden change in space design adoption are still not explained. Why?

Just stones and dust

The atmosphereless, dead, dry, uninhabited surface of Earth's natural satellite is covered in rocks and dust, meteor impact craters, and barren, rock-strewn, dust-strewn vast plains called seas. Modern science has determined the age of the Moon to be approximately 4.5 billion years.

The distance between the Moon and the Earth changes periodically and ranges from 356 to 407 thousand km, its mass is 1/81 that of the Earth, and its radius is 1738 km. The orbital time around the Earth is 27.3217 days. There are large temperature variations on the surface of the Moon, from -160 degrees Celsius at night to +120 degrees Celsius during the day.

Mysteries of the Moon - problematic anomalies

An anomaly is something that should not exist, but does. Many researchers and scientists view the Moon with suspicion, since many mysterious phenomena associated with it cannot be studied and explained scientifically. It is very difficult to incorporate anomalies into existing knowledge systems and they are difficult to explain.

But every now and then, some information leaks out to the public, revealing a world that is very different from the generally accepted understanding of the nature of our satellite. It is possible that the revealed nature of the moon could completely change our understanding of the entire cosmos.

In 1968, NASA published a technical report called a chronological catalog of 579 documented strange events on the Moon that cannot be scientifically explained, observed between 1540 and 1967. It was only in 1988 that scientists announced the discovery of water on the Moon.

It is clear that where there is water, there must be an atmosphere. And where the atmosphere must have gravity to preserve it. Thus, there may be clouds, fog and other typical atmospheric phenomena. These discoveries changed the way scientists think about the Moon. And finally, the discovery of a very thin lunar atmosphere was announced in 1997.

Older than Earth

Science suggests that the Earth and its accompanying satellite were formed at the same time and in the same space of matter. They are as old as our entire solar system and date back to 4.5 billion years old. The age of the rock can now be determined relatively accurately by studying the traces left by cosmic rays.

Using this method, a study of the oldest rocks on Earth showed that they are 3.5 billion years old, while rocks from the Moon are 4.5 billion years old. So there is a surprising discrepancy between the Earth and the Moon regarding the time of their creation, which is about a billion years.

An even bigger mystery is the age of cosmic dust. The dust was found to be billions of years older than lunar rocks, suggesting its existence predates the creation of the solar system. If the Moon and Earth were formed at the same time and with the same materials, then they should have the same layers of rock and matter of the same density. But, for example, iron ore is found in very large quantities on Earth and is practically absent on the Moon.

The average density of the Moon is 3.34 grams per cubic centimeter, and that of the Earth is 5.5 grams per cubic centimeter. The difference in density suggests that the Moon is probably not as rocky as the Earth.

Hollow

Before the landing of the first man on the Moon, many ships and probes were previously launched, which carried out reconnaissance flights, lowered various test equipment onto its surface, which made it possible to obtain more detailed information about our satellite.

In 1969, the crew of Apollo 12, in accordance with procedure, caused an artificial earthquake in the lunar crust. Seismic equipment installed on its surface noted that the satellite vibrated like a bell for almost an hour. Many scientists believe that this indicates that the moon is hollow in the middle. By analyzing the speed of vibration, the sensor discovered that the satellite's core may be surrounded by a metal shell.

It also turned out that the upper layer of the Moon is under soil, the thickness of which is 60-70 km and it serves as a protective layer consisting of large pieces of rock of asteroid origin, which once fell into hot lava and were immediately frozen in it. This layer, with its large mass, increased the strength of lunar gravity. But there are places where it is weakened. In such places, the soil consists of materials with a much lower density than the rest of the lunar protective layer, or of huge hollow spaces, a kind of huge caves, larger than most giant caves on Earth.

The late astronomer Carl Sagan, in his book on intelligent life in space, writes: “Earth’s natural satellite cannot be a hollow body.” In other words, it is impossible to empty a satellite - this cannot be natural, but this may speak in favor of an artificial satellite, which is unknown by whom and when it was built.

Mysteries of the Moon - mysterious light

A significant part of the NASA report is devoted to light anomalous phenomena that occur on the surface of the Moon and in its orbit. The greatest light activity is observed in lunar craters. The most famous crater for its lights is Plato, about ninety kilometers wide and the bottom of which strangely changes colors. Its walls are very high, and sometimes the lights are obscured by fog.

Light is usually observed in motion and sometimes it forms geometric patterns such as circles, squares, triangles. Long rays of light can often be observed emanating. Sometimes balls of light appear from small craters and, heading towards Plato, disappear inside. In 1966, many red, flashing dots were observed in Plato Crater.

In ancient Chinese records at the turn of the tenth and eleventh millennium BC. there is a description of the sky where you cannot find a single mention of the Moon. It is also not on ancient maps of the sky until 9-11 thousand years ago. Perhaps it didn’t even exist before that? We know about the great influence of the Moon on the Earth and on living creatures on it and that it is responsible for the ebb and flow of the seas and oceans.

What if we combine this fact with the myth of the flood? Information about floods is present in the history of all cultures of the world. This happened about 11 thousand years ago. The land was flooded with water. Sea levels rose, the earth shook, volcanoes exploded, and it rained constantly. It can be assumed that the possible cause of this disaster was the appearance of the Moon in Earth's orbit.

Alien civilization ship

The hypothesis that the Moon is not a product of natural origin was confirmed already in the seventies. More and more astrophysicists are of the opinion that our satellite is a huge spaceship of an alien civilization, possibly very old and abandoned.

The Moon always faces the Earth with only one side, and therefore we cannot see it completely. The far side always remains the invisible “dark side of the Moon.” Some researchers argue that this happens because someone wants to hide what is happening on the invisible side. In 1954, astronomers from Edinburgh announced that they had seen with their own eyes a point on the dark side that followed in a straight line from the Tycho crater to the Aristracus crater. It covered the distance from pole to pole in twenty minutes, which means that it had to fly at a speed of 9,700 km/h.

There are many reports that talk about black flying objects above the surface of the Moon, moving at different speeds. In July 1969, one of the Apollo 11 cameras accidentally detected a glowing cigar-shaped object moving across the surface of the Moon. In July 1972, Apollo 16's cameras captured another shape of a cigar-shaped object. The ship was huge. It illuminated the ionized atmosphere directly behind it with white light. It was close to the surface of the Moon and cast a long shadow.

After the publication of these telescope photographs, many enthusiasts from all over the world continue to observe the Moon. Quite a lot of video footage has already been accumulated, capturing objects of various sizes on the surface, flying out of the atmosphere and disappearing into space.

Most scientists studying the Moon do not admit the existence of alien bases on it. But how can we explain that the United States and the Soviet Union suddenly, without explanation, refrained from going to the moon? Speculation on this topic says that someone simply does not let people there. It seems that the great race between the two superpowers to colonize the Moon has been abandoned because something has been discovered that prevents the further implementation of this project. Perhaps this something is a UFO?

The Moon is a satellite of our planet, which is a rather unusual space object, and even the study of it by automatic stations and the landing of astronauts on the surface of this cosmic body did not diminish its mystery. The mysteries of the Moon, the latest data about which are constantly updated, are not only among astronomers, but also ufologists, amateur astronomers and individuals interested in everything mysterious. And if various hypotheses are proposed to explain mysterious observations and incomprehensible phenomena, then some observed paradoxes cannot be explained scientifically, logically, or paranormally.

Moon - riddles and hypotheses

The mystery of some types of “moonquakes” has not been solved to this day. Due to the lack of magmatic activity on our satellite, ground vibrations caused by volcanic activity or seismic activity should not be observed. However, an explanation has been found for three types of “moonquakes”:

• tremors caused by the fall of meteorites, small asteroids and other space “junk”;
• soil vibrations caused by external gravitational influences leading to deep movements of lunar layers;
• thermal shocks arising due to a sharp temperature change caused by the thermal energy of the Sun.

However, according to NASA, a fourth type of oscillation is observed on the satellite of our planet - “moonquakes” with an amplitude of up to 5 points on the Richter scale. Their duration can reach tens of minutes, and no explanation has been found for them. American astronauts observed this phenomenon during one of the landings on the Moon, and, according to their feelings, “... the Moon was ringing like a church bell.”

A mysterious substance, the origin of which has been the subject of several hypotheses, is lunar dust. Organoleptically it resembles extremely abrasive wholemeal. According to the observations of American astronauts, due to the reduced gravitational field, dust is highly fluid, tends to fill any fold, and upon contact with the human body causes a mysterious disease, which was dubbed “moon fever.” Due to its abrasiveness and stickiness, it caused concern among astronauts that it could destroy the boots of their spacesuits during prolonged walking.

The topic of the presence of unidentified objects on the surface of the Moon, which they explain as traces of the activities of extraterrestrial civilizations or structures left by aliens, is always relevant and popular among ufologists and lovers of paranormal phenomena. A favorite subject of discussion are lunar pyramids - structures of regular geometric shape that quite accurately imitate their terrestrial counterparts. There is a lot of information about the observation of unidentified flying objects spotted near the surface of our satellite. Some ufologists observed an architectural structure in the form of a castle floating above the lunar surface. But the most striking thing in these observations is not the very fact of discovering incomprehensible objects - ufologists have a rich imagination, and you never know what you might see after many hours of looking through a telescope. Neither the NASA specialists who launched the Apollo mission to the Moon, nor the Russian scientists who explored the Earth’s satellite using the automatic stations “Luna” and “Lunokhods” in any way refute or comment on these observations. In addition, the Moon, the mysteries and hypotheses about which have at least some explanation, gives researchers a lot of reasons to think about those phenomena that, at the current level of development of science, cannot be clearly substantiated.

Unsolved mysteries of our satellite

The main mystery, which is of great interest to all inquisitive non-professional researchers of the Moon, is hidden not on it, but on our planet. Why, after intensive research carried out in the 60s and 70s of the last century, were they frozen for almost half a century? In his book, the famous American astronomer Carl Sagan believes that a cave with a volume of 100 cubic kilometers discovered on the Moon during its research is a cavity of artificial origin, intended for the life and development of alien creatures. And the alleged contact with them led to a ban on studying our satellite.

At the same time, the mysteries of the Moon, the latest data about which are no less paradoxical, are intriguing and raise a number of questions:

• it is not clear why expensive programs for studying deep space are needed when most of the lunar mysteries have not been solved;
• why, while obtaining beautiful photographs of the rings of Saturn or the surface of Pluto, there are no high-resolution photographs of the lunar surface;
• If an American and Russian spy satellite is able to “read” a newspaper editorial, why don’t similar spacecraft explore anomalous structures and formations on the Moon with the same accuracy.

Why did the leading space powers of the USSR and the USA suddenly lose interest in the Moon? Either they made grandiose plans for its development, even colonization, or for decades there was silence.

This happens when everything is known and there is no point in continuing the study, or when such unexpected results are obtained that the work goes into the secrecy phase. The first option is doubtful: there are no fewer questions related to the Moon even now. But here's the second one...

Signs of a lunar mind?

In 1977, a book by a certain J. Leonard was published in the UK entitled “There is Someone Else on Our Moon” and with the subtitle “Amazing Facts of Intelligent Life on the Moon Discovered.”

An excavator the size of a city on the surface of the moon! This is just one of the author's stunning revelations. According to him, only a very narrow circle of specialists knew about the powerful mechanical devices that American astronauts saw working in the craters of the Moon, about bridges, viaducts, dome-shaped structures and other structures on the lunar surface.

Who this J. Leonard is is unknown. In any case, this is a person who had access to extensive, including top-secret information. He was able to talk with many NASA officials, study thousands of photographs, and listen to hours of tape recordings of conversations with astronauts.

Thirty-five photographs (each with a NASA code number), dozens of detailed drawings made, according to the author, from high-quality large-format photographs, 230 pages of text listing facts and documents, statements from NASA experts and an extensive bibliography lead to a stunning conclusion: NASA and many scientists world-famous people have long known that signs of intelligent life have been discovered on the Moon!

Disinformation? But then the reaction to this publication is amazing. No denials
no comments, no discussion of any kind. Are the pictures fake? But the author in the appendix gives the address where you can get copies of them.

Maybe NASA leaked information? Here is J. Leonard's own hypothesis: “I'm starting to think that NASA is presenting these photographs with the attitude: “Here they are. If you - the public and the scientific community - are not too interested or blind to see these oddities, that's your problem. We don’t have funds in our budget for your education.”

Few people knew about Leonard's book. Its circulation, according to competent people, immediately disappeared from store shelves. The second edition was published in 1978 - the same result. Only copies that were accidentally exported abroad, including to the USSR, remained. But it seems that the Moor still did his job. In 1981, a book (“Alien Bases on the Moon,” by Fred Steckling) was published in the United States, full of facts and NASA photographs depicting UFOs and other phenomena on the Moon and in its environs. In 1992, a book with similar content was published in Japan.

Mysterious light

"Wow!!! - Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, pilot of the Apollo 17 lunar module (December 7-19, 1972) could not contain his surprise already on the first revolution around the Moon. “I just saw a flash on the lunar surface!.. A bright small flash on the northern edge of the Grimaldi crater... where there was only a narrow strip of light.” (It was in this place that Apollo 16 pilot Ken Mattingly saw a flash of bright light).
The next day it was the turn of another pilot, Ronald Evans, to be surprised: “I would never have believed it!” I am right above the edge of the Eastern Sea. I just saw a bright flash with my own eyes! Right at the end of the furrow..."

One of the serious authorities in the field of the physical and geological nature of the Moon, Dr. Farouk El-Baz, a consultant and assistant to many American astronauts, commented on these observations: “There is no doubt that this is something grandiose: these are not comets, and this is NOT of NATURAL origin !

Strange light phenomena on the lunar disk have been noticed for a long time. Flashes, luminous stripes, moving spots of light were described in detail by researchers of previous centuries. More than 900 recorded cases date back to the 16th century alone.

The library of the Royal Astronomical Society contains information about strange light spots and light fluctuations on the Moon. By April 1871, 1,600 such cases were recorded in the Plato crater alone. Observers saw a flickering blue light or a cluster of specks of light that looked like bright, needle-like dots gathering together. W. Herschel (1738-1822), the founder of stellar astronomy, who discovered the planet Uranus and several satellites of Saturn and Uranus, recorded about 150 very bright spots on the surface of the Moon during a total eclipse.

White sparkling dots arranged in an arc, tiny dots and streaks of light are especially often observed in the Sea of ​​Crises. Sometimes these are tiny dots and stripes of light, united into some kind of figure, sometimes periodically flashing light, similar to intelligent signals.

The attention of astronomers has long been attracted by a strange light in the craters of Aristarchus and Plato. Bright red flashes in the area of ​​the Aristarchus crater sometimes cover areas of several kilometers and are more often observed above dome-shaped structures. Moving objects are observed in the Sea of ​​Tranquility. In 1964, light or dark spots were seen there at least four times, spreading over tens and even hundreds of kilometers in a few hours.

On September 11, 1967, for 8-9 seconds, Canadian researchers observed a dark rectangular spot with purple edges moving from west to east over the Sea of ​​Tranquility. It was clearly visible until it entered the night area.

After 13 minutes, a flash of yellow light was recorded along the path of the spot near the Sabine crater. And, apparently, it was no coincidence that a year and a half later, Apollo landed in this area! 1". The study of lunar soil at the landing site surprised experts. The soil was melted by a light source 100 times brighter than the Sun. Experts believe that the source of radiation was at a low altitude above the Moon. But these are not the engines of the Apollo lander.

In 1968, NASA published a summary of the observations in the Chronological Catalog of Lunar Event Reports. Among the 579 phenomena the following were named: moving luminous objects; colored trenches lengthening at a speed of 6 km/h; giant domes that change color; a large luminous object, the so-called "Maltese Cross", observed on November 26, 1956; geometric figures; disappearing craters and other things that cannot be explained. The catalog also records the speed of movement of the mentioned spots in the Sea of ​​Tranquility - from 32 to 80 km/h.

Logic dictates that the vast majority of lunar phenomena simply remain outside our field of vision. After all, there is also the other side of the Moon.

Something lands, something flies

In the summer of 1955, V. Yaremenko from Odessa looked at “countless lunar craters, mountains and seas” through a homemade telescope. “Above the disk, parallel to its edge, at a distance of approximately 0.2 lunar radius, a luminous body flew, similar to a 3rd magnitude star under normal observation,” he recalls. - Having flown a third of the circle (it took 4-5 seconds), the body descended along a steep trajectory onto the lunar surface. It was quite large and... manageable! And artificial satellites did not yet exist in those years...”

Here are the observations of V. Luchko from Lvov (March 31, 1983): “About 2 hours 30 minutes. on the clear, almost full disk of the Moon... a rather large dark body was noticed, quickly and smoothly passing along a slightly curved path through the northwestern part of the disk in the direction from west to east. His journey took no more than a second. After a short period of time, exactly the same (or the same) body again crossed the Moon at the same speed and in the same direction...” That same night, Luchko managed to notice six appearances of the same bodies (or the same one). “In all cases, it was a relatively large, dark, even black body of irregular shape, perfectly visible against the background of the shining lunar disk.”

Our television has repeatedly played a video recording of a shadow moving across the surface of the Moon, which was made by a Japanese amateur astronomer. If this is not a hoax, then the size of the shadow (about 20 km in diameter) and the enormous speed of movement (about 400 km in 2 seconds) suggest a high technical level of the object that left it.

On March 15, 1992, astronomer E. Arsyukhin observed a rapid zigzag flight over the Moon of a black square body about 5 km in size. During the observation period, the object flew about 500 km at the same speed as the “Japanese” one - 200 km/s.

Astronautics gave a new impetus to the study of lunar mysteries. Photographs of the Moon taken from spacecraft, and information obtained during flights and landings on the Moon, forced NASA to seriously study the Earth's satellite. A special program was created to study LTP (“random phenomena on the Moon”, Russian abbreviation - LF, lunar phenomena). Experienced public observers were involved in the program. The results of the research are not known to the general public.

Only hypotheses

Examining photographs from the book by J. Leonard, researcher at the Association for Engineering Dowsing O.A. Isaeva identified zones with an increased energy background on the surface of the Moon and came close to determining the chemical composition of the sources of anomalous radiation. There is reason to believe that these objects contain technetium. This radioactive element, promising for nuclear energy, was obtained artificially on Earth only in 1937; it does not occur in its natural form in nature.

Various theories and hypotheses have been used to explain light LFs. They tried to explain them by flashes in the eyes of astronauts, which occur when cosmic particles hit the brain or eyeball. However, light phenomena are also observed by terrestrial researchers who are not subject to such cosmic bombardment. In addition, flares from cosmic particles are described as instantaneous, and even many hours of glow or periodic flickering in the same place have been observed on the Moon.

They try to explain flares on the Moon by meteorite impacts on rocks and rocks. However, this can only explain occasional short-term and one-time effects. M. Jessup, a mathematician and astronomer who seriously substantiated the connection between UFOs and the Moon, noted that in both the 18th and 19th centuries on the Moon during
spots of light were observed for hours or longer. The moon sparkled, sparkled, flared. And the probability of two meteorites hitting the same place in a relatively short period is negligible.

It has been suggested that at one time gases could have gotten under the uncooled lava flows on the Moon, but now they are released. But gases spontaneously released in nature, as a rule, do not have color, rhythm, shape or size. And all this is on the Moon. It was not possible to connect the glow of “gases” with the influence of ultraviolet rays from the Sun. Glows are also observed when the Sun does not illuminate the lunar surface.

It has been hypothesized that the Earth's magnetic tail accelerates solar particles that bombard the Moon, causing flares and luminescent excitations. But in this case, the glows and flashes would not have been tied for centuries to certain areas on the Moon (there are 90 of them!).

The hypothesis of volcanic activity contradicts the official NASA concept, according to which our satellite is a relatively dead planet. In addition, the tremors usual for an eruption would have been recorded by a network of seismographs installed on the Moon. However, they were silent even on April 25, 1972, when in the area of ​​the Aristarchus and Herodotus craters a “light fountain” was recorded, which at a speed of 1.35 km/s reached a height of 162 km, shifted sideways by 60 km and dissolved.

In 1992, American astronomer M. Kenton reported strange tremors on the Moon: “Their strength... reaches 12-14 points on the Richter scale. If this process continues for another six months, the Moon will burst and scatter into two halves... Two moons can cause people to experience a state of frustration, mental splitting, and group insanity. The reaction of the animal world, where instincts prevail, is unpredictable...”

Many scientists recognized that tremors on the Moon were something new in scientific observations, but did not believe that the Moon could break apart. And they were right.

Vitaly Pravdivtsev. Scientific director of the information and analytical center "Unknown"

It has another name - Selene, hence the name of the science involved in the study of the Moon - selenology.

The Moon revolves around the Earth in an elliptical orbit with an average distance of 384,395 km. And the orbital period is 27, 32 average solar days. At the same time, rotation around its own axis occurs with the same period, so from Earth we can see only one side of this satellite. The diameter of the Moon is 3,476 km, its mass is 81.5 times less than the mass of the Earth. The surface temperature ranges from – 160°C (at night) to + 130°C (daytime).

Due to the fact that the Moon is visible from Earth, even without the naked eye, and is the closest space object of all the planets in the solar system, it has been studied in more detail and thoroughly. But not everything is so clear and simple, even with such a well-studied object.

Craters on the Moon were discovered in 1610 using a 30x telescope built by Galileo Galilei, which he called “dams.” Kepler then suggested that these craters were lunar settlements. And later, many astronomers who discovered formations similar to the remains of buildings immediately announced the discovery of intelligent life. In the 17th - 19th centuries, the opinion about the habitability of the Moon was very popular not only among ordinary people, but also among the scientific community.

But with the development of selenology, over time it became clear that life on the Moon is not possible due to the lack of water and atmosphere.

By analyzing lunar soil samples, scientists have determined that the Moon and the Earth were subjected to a massive meteorite attack about 400 million years ago. This time roughly coincides with the Cambrian explosion. Then, in different places of the Earth, various forms of life suddenly appeared and began to develop.

The date of the meteorite bombardment was determined by researchers from the University of California. Microscopic quartz spheres with radioactive particles inside, formed during explosions from meteorite impacts, were discovered in the lunar soil.

However, there are other interesting facts about the Moon and the secrets of its origin that were discovered earlier.

Mysterious facts

So…

On May 3, 1715, at 9:30 a.m., the French astronomer Jose Louville noticed on the western side, at the very edge of the lunar disk, glimpses of light that appeared irregularly from the darkened side.

60 years later, on October 12, 1775, the German astronomer Johann Hieronymus Schröter noticed a bright point flying over the Sea of ​​Rains from south to north, and then the same one only moving along the southern edge.

In addition, he discovered a crater with a diameter of about 37 kilometers to the west of the Sea of ​​Crisis and gave it the name Alhazen; this crater was clearly visible. However, after 50 years, another German researcher, Georg Kunovsky, did not discover Alhazen. That a number of other astronomers immediately decided to check, who also discovered that Alhazen had disappeared! And just forty years later, in the same place, William Burt discovered a ring of low mountains. What processes take place in that place of the Moon? It remains a mystery to this day.

Here's another one of the mysteries. Since 1823, selenologists Schmidt, Lohrmann and Modler have explored the Linnaeus crater, which was always clearly visible to the very bottom. And with the sun low, the crater cast sharp shadows. However, in 1866, instead of a crater, a white spot was visible, which became smaller with sunrise, and by noon disappeared completely, but by dawn it appeared again.

In the last century, scientists discovered and described a square object and gave it the name Modler Square, which was classified as an artificial structure. However, later, in 1950, the American Bartlett discovered randomly scattered boulders at the location of the square; outwardly, this sight resembled ruins after an explosion or “moonquake.” The possibility that these “buildings” were hit by a meteorite has been ruled out. After all, hundreds of astronomers monitor the Moon around the clock, not to mention amateurs, who together could not help but notice the direct hit of the asteroid. Moreover, due to the low gravitational force, such an explosion would cause dust to remain in a column over the Modler Square for a very long time.

The famous Soviet astronomer Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kozyrev (August 20 (September 2), 1908, St. Petersburg - February 27, 1983, Leningrad) observed a red cloud over the Alphonse crater for two hours on November 3, 1958, covering the entire central part of the crater. However, this is not surprising, but what remains a mystery is that spectral analysis of the cloud showed the presence carbon dioxide. There are no prerequisites to attribute this to the revival of volcanic activity. All that remains is the version of an artificial explosion. Then similar phenomena occurred near the Aristarchus crater in December 1961.

Continuing the listing of anomalous phenomena occurring near Aristarchus, we decided to mention three luminous red spots in 1963 discovered by astronomers Greenaker and Barr, which disappeared after a couple of minutes. But a month later, the red spot on the slopes of Aristarchus appeared again and remained for almost an hour. It should be noted that this was observed by astronomers back in the 18th - 19th centuries, on this and other parts of the Moon.

Very often, luminous points are observed on the darkened part of the lunar disk. So in 1950, on March 30, selenologist Wilkins saw a bright luminous point flying over the surface of the Moon, which happened again a month and a half later. Then, in 1955, he observed a strong glow on the darkened part of the Moon for 35 minutes.

In the same year, selenologist Lambert noticed two bright sources of light moving along the western coast of the Sea of ​​​​Tranquility. And half a year later, Robert Miles registered a source of pulsating white light, which after about an hour turned blue and then went out completely.

On November 26, 1956, the Spaniard Garcia recorded three red lights that flew in a triangle and three other lights flying from the darkened side of the Moon to the illuminated one. And, on the same day, Robert Curtis photographed a light cross, consisting of two stripes several kilometers long, near the Parro Crater.

The crater Aristarchus again

Throughout the 60s, light spots were often observed in the area of ​​the Aristarchus crater, but the point is that the spots appeared on the shadowed side of the Moon and moved at speed. Moreover, in 1965, an American amateur astronomer from Arizona noticed a beam of light directed upward from a crater located in the shadow, this phenomenon was observed twice. And in 1968, three red spots began to increase in size. At this time, and still in the same crater, the Japanese recorded a pink spot, and in the crater itself there appeared stripes about 8 kilometers wide and up to 50 kilometers long, along which sparkling lights moved. And finally, on April 25, 1972, Rainer Klemm recorded a light “fountain” glowing for about a minute, which he captured in a photograph.

Everything previously listed and much more is recorded in the catalog of “short-term lunar phenomena” compiled by the English astronomer Patrick Moore. This catalog contains about 700 facts and anomalies. The anomalies collected in the catalogue, according to the author himself, do not explain the nature of their origin. However, official science does not provide explanations, but from the point of view of ufology, esotericism, etc., everything is explained - everything that happens on the Moon is connected with extraterrestrial intelligence.

Even more can be said by the special services that directly studied similar phenomena not only on the Moon, but also on Earth, where there were no less mysterious and inexplicable phenomena.

Lunar exploration, latest achievements

By the end of the 20th century, with the development of science and technology, these studies became more productive and informative. In 1994, the Clementine space probe discovered a strange, huge monolith in the Eastern Sea area, data about the discovery were transmitted to Earth. The data obtained was applied by computer to a three-dimensional map created by NASA using the latest space technologies. Similar monoliths emit a shadow, which was also discovered in the Lobachevsky crater.

Apollo 15 launched from the cosmodrome. Kennedy July 26, 1971 at 13:34 UTC. After about one and a half orbits around the Earth, astronauts David Scott (crew commander), Alfred Worden (command module pilot) and James Irwin (lunar module pilot), turning on the third stage engine, transferred the ship to the flight path to the Moon. The journey there took a little more than three days (78.5 hours). From Wikipedia

During the Apollo missions, many discoveries were made about the Moon. In particular, briefly according to the official version, it became clear that the Moon was formed from an ancient stone, its chemical composition is identical to that of the Earth, hence the idea that the Moon is a fragment of the Earth. There is no life on the Moon, that in the distant past it was almost molten, that it experienced a huge number of collisions. As a result of the collisions, as mentioned above: “about 400 million years ago, along with the Earth, they were subjected to a massive meteorite attack...”, the Moon’s surface is now cratered and covered with a layer of rock debris and dust. This is what it says officially!

And now what is not for the masses:

Astronauts from Apollo 15, according to Richard Boyle, saw and filmed such a monolith on the lunar surface. According to him, the object is of artificial origin and looks similar to a connected buoy left by an unknown civilization. This “buoy” could be activated using the means available on Apollo 15. Perhaps this monolith was secretly brought to Earth for comprehensive analysis.

Searches for artificial objects

And in 1994, they began a series of studies to search for artificial objects on the Moon. Using existing computers, about 80 thousand images of the polar regions of the Moon were processed. During these studies, 132 objects were discovered that resembled archaeological sites.

Thus, a photograph was obtained of a hill surrounded by rectangular pits, and the hill itself was angular. It is almost impossible for a landscape to naturally form in the form of holes around a hill; this is typical for artificial, earth-fill structures. Moreover, the hill itself is hollow in the center with a large dip. There are several similar rectangular hills, with dips in the middle at the top. And there is a similar hill surrounded by an interlacing of ramparts that resemble ruins.

From a geological point of view, it is impossible to explain the process of the appearance of these hills and small pits with a flat bottom and angular outlines discovered there. The depth of the pits is approximately 10 meters and from their appearance it can be assumed that these pits were formed by the extraction of water or minerals.

The photographs show hollows of round or rectangular shapes standing in regular rows, so it can be assumed that under the surface of the Moon there are rectangular voids, even systems of voids. These failures occurred due to meteorite impacts. And the voids themselves are more like artificial buildings in their location and in the fact that after the destruction, a complex network of low shafts remains, which look like load-bearing walls of huge buildings. Thus, it can be assumed that settlers trying to settle on the Moon appeared a long time ago, much earlier than on Earth.

Eyewitness accounts

By the way, objects of artificial origin were noticed on the surface of the Moon by American astronauts, but NASA classified all evidence. However, some of the information somehow found its way into the press. There is one well-known interview given by Neil Armstrong, the first person to descend to the surface of the Moon, in which he admitted: “The Moon is inhabited, and has been inhabited for a long time... Space research is carried out to divert attention, ships fly to it not at all in order to draw maps of its reverse sides, land the lunar rover and take soil samples. There are many military bases on the Moon, not alien, but not American either.”

To be fair, it is worth noting that shortly after this interview, Armstrong ended up in a mental hospital. What may be a reason for mistrust for some, however, according to negotiations between astronauts leaked to the press, there is every reason to believe that something unexpected was found on the Moon. And then almost all the astronauts who visited the Moon died due to unclear circumstances.

There is another very interesting, historical, but controversial fact that echoes Armstrong’s statement, which happened 14 years before the astronaut’s statement.

In August 1945, at the Postdam Conference, where the heads of the victorious countries gathered to negotiate the division and future fate of Germany. Then suddenly Stalin unexpectedly proposed discussing the problem of dividing the Moon. This statement caused bewilderment among others. Well, the statement about the priority of the USSR in the section of the Earth’s satellite generally shocked everyone. This conference was attended by the American historian and military translator Robert Mylin, who was there as an interpreter for US President Harry Truman. He recalls: “At first it seemed to Truman that Stalin’s words had not been translated correctly. “Excuse me, Mr. Stalin, you mean, of course, the division of Germany?” - he asked again. “No, Mr. Truman, you heard correctly, I mean exactly the division of the Moon. We agreed on Germany a long time ago. And remember, Mr. Truman, the USSR has enough strength and technical capabilities to prove our priority in the most serious way.”

The Americans did not delve into the reasons for Stalin’s strange behavior; they decided that not everything was right with his head. However, Truman did not want to start a quarrel with Stalin, so the document “On the priority of the USSR in the exploration of the Moon” was signed.”

Hero of the Soviet Union, Academician Fedorov, noted in his memoirs: “There were rumors that in the late thirties, in an environment of the strictest secrecy, Stalin was carrying out some kind of grandiose space project - it seemed like he was building an overpass for launching spaceships almost according to the sketches of Tsiolkovsky and Zander. At the same time, this most sensational film “Space Flight” was filmed with this overpass. The war did not allow us to complete what we started, but that was not the only reason. It was in 1937 that the entire rocket research institute was destroyed and imprisoned, designers Korolev and Glushko were arrested, and some engineers were shot “for high treason and espionage.” Who could run rocket science without them?”

Similar rumors circulated among the people. One of them was witnessed by the writer Fyodor Abramov in the article “Around the Bush.” There he recounts his conversation with an old man: “Under Comrade Stalin, we flew to the Moon and kept a garrison there. And our bald fool (Khrushchev) only launches horned balls into the sky and mongrels.”

Here is another fact taken from a letter sent to the Commission on Anomalous Phenomena. It contained the following expression: “...My brother served there (in terms of content this means on the Moon). Only before his death did he confess to my father and me...”

Before his death, Hero of the Soviet Union test pilot Sergei Nikolaevich Anokhin also confessed to his friends about piloting a rocket in the forties.

And the most indisputable fact is that in 1937 the second People's Commissariat of the aviation industry was created, which is noteworthy that this People's Commissariat was subordinate only directly to Stalin, unlike the existing one. Moreover, the aircraft designers Lavochkin, Ilyushin and Tupolev themselves knew nothing about the activities of the secret People's Commissariat.

Also, in those same years, under the heading “top secret”, a super-secret facility “Kyiv-17” was founded near Kiev on the site of the current Chernobyl station. Within three months, a military camp, eight factories, huge hangars and warehouses were built. An airfield with several runways for receiving transport workers and the launch complex itself. Construction was completed by the beginning of the war, in June 1941. It was the war and the rapid advance of the Germans that forced the explosion of the entire complex.

And one more very interesting information on this topic. A brochure by Steve Bruce was published in the United States, describing the reasons for the fall of one of the largest radio telescopes in the world. This telescope is owned by the Green Bank National Radiospace Observatory in West Virginia. The telescope suddenly collapsed after 25 years of flawless operation. The commission investigating the incident came to the conclusion that the disaster occurred due to wear and tear of the aluminum structures of the complex. However, not everyone was satisfied with these conclusions, especially since similar telescopes never fell anywhere else.

And this same Bruce, after acquiring some documents and facts previously unknown, tried to reveal the true reason for the fall of the telescope.

In the late 80s, two American astrophysicists, while tracking the sky, suddenly received strange radio signals from the Moon. We tried to decipher it and nothing worked. They looked like computer text. Scientists, based on the fact that the nature of the signals bore signs of artificial origin, announced that they had detected the operation of Russian automatic devices on the Moon! American radars have repeatedly detected unknown spaceships flying towards the Moon at escape velocity.

These same astrophysicists turned with their guesses to their supervisor, Professor Hall, who decided to inform the senator from his state. Having agreed on a meeting, Hall took with him all the materials relating to this case and went to the meeting. On the way, he had an accident in which he died, and all the papers in the car caught fire. And a few days after the death of Professor Hall, the antenna of the Green Bank radio telescope collapsed.

Examination of the debris showed that the material was almost immediately heated to such a temperature that the structure immediately collapsed. And such instant heating can only be produced by laser weapons. Since the US Department of Defense did not confirm the use of laser weapons by the Russians, nor did they confirm the fact that Soviet satellites were flying over this territory, they formulated their version as negligence of service personnel.

These are the mysterious events that took place around the Moon. It turns out that official science does not know everything about the Moon, or they tell us something that is not classified as “top secret”!

Back in the 1960s, Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov from the USSR Academy of Sciences put forward the hypothesis that in reality our satellite was created artificially.
This hypothesis has eight main postulates, popularly called “riddles,” which analyze some of the most surprising aspects about the satellite.
Is the Moon an artificial satellite? The first mystery of the Moon: artificial Moon or cosmic exchange

In fact, the orbit of motion and the size of the moon's satellite are physically almost impossible. If this were natural, one could argue that this is an extremely strange “whim” of the cosmos. This is due to the fact that the size of the Moon is equal to a quarter of the size of the Earth, and the ratio of the sizes of the satellite and the planet is always many times smaller. The distance from the Moon to the Earth is such that the sizes of the Sun and Moon are visually the same. This allows us to observe such a rare phenomenon as a total solar eclipse, when the Moon completely covers the Sun. The same mathematical impossibility applies to the masses of both celestial bodies. If the Moon were a body that at a certain moment was attracted by the Earth and acquired a natural orbit, then it would be expected that this orbit should be elliptical. Instead, it is strikingly round.
The second mystery of the Moon: the incredible curvature of the Moon's surface


The incredible curvature that the Moon's surface exhibits is inexplicable. The moon is not a round body. The results of geological studies lead to the conclusion that this planetoid is actually a hollow ball. Although it is such, scientists still cannot explain how the Moon can have such a strange structure without being destroyed. One explanation offered by the above-mentioned scientists is that the lunar crust was made of a solid titanium frame. Indeed, the lunar crust and rocks have been shown to have extraordinary levels of titanium. According to Russian scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov, the thickness of the titanium layer is 30 km.
The third mystery of the Moon: lunar craters


The explanation for the presence of a huge number of meteorite craters on the surface of the Moon is widely known - the absence of an atmosphere. Most cosmic bodies that try to penetrate Earth encounter kilometers of atmosphere on their way, and it all ends with the “aggressor” disintegrating. The Moon does not have the ability to protect its surface from the scars left by all the meteorites crashing into it - craters of all sizes. What remains unexplained is the shallow depth to which the aforementioned bodies were able to penetrate. It really looks as if a layer of extremely durable material prevented meteorites from penetrating into the center of the satellite. Even craters with a diameter of 150 kilometers do not exceed 4 kilometers deep into the Moon. This feature is inexplicable from the point of view of normal observations that there should be craters at least 50 km deep.
The fourth mystery of the Moon: “lunar seas”


How were the so-called “lunar seas” formed? These gigantic areas of solid lava, which originate from the interior of the Moon, could easily be explained if the Moon were a hot planet with a liquid interior, where they could arise from meteorite impacts. But physically, it is much more likely that the Moon, judging by its size, has always been a cold body. Another mystery is the location of the “lunar seas”. Why are 80% of them on the visible side of the Moon?
The fifth mystery of the Moon: mascons


The gravitational attraction on the surface of the Moon is not uniform. This effect had already been noted by the crew of Apollo VIII when it flew around the lunar sea zones. Mascones (from "Mass Concentration" - mass concentration) are places where a substance of greater density or quantity is believed to exist. This phenomenon is closely related to the lunar seas, since the mascons are located under them.
The sixth mystery of the Moon: geographic asymmetry


A rather shocking fact in science, which still cannot be explained, is the geographic asymmetry of the surface of the Moon. The famous "dark" side of the Moon has many more craters, mountains and relief features. In addition, as we already mentioned, most of the seas, on the contrary, are on the side that we can see.
The seventh mystery of the Moon: the low density of the Moon


The density of our satellite is 60% of the density of the Earth. This fact, together with various studies, proves that the Moon is a hollow object. Moreover, several scientists have ventured to suggest that the above-mentioned cavity is artificial. In fact, given the surface layers that have been identified, scientists argue that the Moon appears to be like a planet that was formed "in reverse," and some have used this to argue for the "artificial casting" theory.
The Eighth Mystery of the Moon: Origin


In the last century, for a long time, three theories of the origin of the Moon were conventionally accepted. Currently, most of the scientific community has accepted the hypothesis of the artificial origin of the lunar planetoid as no less valid than others.
One theory suggests that the Moon is a fragment of the Earth. But the enormous differences in the nature of these two bodies make this theory practically untenable.
Another theory is that this celestial body formed at the same time as the Earth, from the same cloud of cosmic gas. But the previous conclusion is also valid in relation to this judgment, since the Earth and the Moon should have at least a similar structure.
The third theory suggests that, while wandering through space, the Moon fell into the earth's gravity, which caught and turned it into its “captive”. The big flaw in this explanation is that the Moon's orbit is essentially circular and cyclical. In such a phenomenon (when the satellite is “caught” by the planet), the orbit would be sufficiently distant from the center or, at least, would be some kind of ellipsoid.
The fourth assumption is the most incredible of all, but, in any case, it can explain the various anomalies that are associated with the Earth's satellite, since if the Moon were constructed by intelligent beings, then the physical laws to which it is subject would not be equally applicable to other celestial bodies.
The mysteries of the Moon put forward by scientists Vasin and Shcherbakov are only some real physical assessments of the Moon's anomalies. In addition, there are many other video, photographic evidence and studies that give confidence to those who think about the possibility that our “natural” satellite is not one.
Recently, a controversial video appeared on the Internet, which will be interesting within the framework of the topic under consideration:
Video description:
This video was made from Germany and was filmed over 4 days starting on July 7, 2014. It is clearly visible how “waves”, or rather a stripe, “runs” across the surface of the Moon, and this is similar to how the image of the lunar surface that we see from Earth is updated.
No matter how crazy it may sound, precisely such stripes have been noticed more than once when filming with various video cameras and telescopes. I think anyone with a video camera with a good zoom will be able to see the same thing.
And how, may I ask you, can I explain this? In my opinion, several explanations are possible, and adherents of the generally accepted picture of the world will not like all of them.
1. There is no Moon in the Earth’s orbit at all, but only a flat projection (hologram) creating the appearance of its presence. Moreover, this projection is quite primitive technically, judging by the fact that its creators were forced to create a flat projection and that is why the moon is turned to us on one side. This is simply saving resources to maintain the visible part of the Moon.
2. In the Earth’s orbit there is indeed a certain object whose dimensions correspond to the “Moon” visible to us from the Earth, but in fact, what we see is only a hologram - a camouflage created on top of the object. This, by the way, explains why no one flies to the “Moon”. I think all the states that sent their vehicles to the “Moon” know very well that under the guise of what we see from Earth, there is something completely different there.
These versions are supported by those facts that have long been surprising for their illogicality:
- Why humanity sends spacecraft into deep space, but completely ignores the planet closest to us.
- Why are all the photographs of the moon transmitted by earthly satellites of such disgusting quality?
- Why can’t astronomers, having advanced telescopes, take pictures of the lunar surface with a quality comparable at least to pictures from Mars or from earthly satellites. Why do satellites fly in Earth orbit that are capable of taking a photograph of a surface on which a car license plate is visible, while lunar satellites photograph the surface in such a resolution that one cannot dare to call it a photograph.
In addition, we present two fragments from RenTV films on the theme of the Moon. The reputation of this channel is known to everyone, but the information provided is useful for analyzing the arguments proposed above.
