LUNAR OBELISKS [12f]
November, 1966. Three years before the Apollo astronauts made it to the Moon, the Orbiter 2 spacecraft situates itself in lunar orbit. It was designed to capture high-resolution images of the surface to assist with the selection of landing sites for the Apollo missions. One image in particular catches the eye of researchers, as it shows what appear to be the shadows of several pointed spires.

“On November 20, 1966, the Lunar Orbiter 2, NASA’s probe, photographs this area on the Moon that was actually in the Sea of Tranquility, only 300 kilometers away from where Apollo 11 ended up landing. And what’s so bizarre is that this area has undeniable architecture that looks like what you would see from obelisks. There’s eight different spires. And scientists calculated that the largest of these spires would be an obelisk that is 15 stories tall. These do appear to be just like an Egyptian-style obelisk. But, what the heck are they doing on the Moon?” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
|
“Of the multiple anomalies on the Moon, I think the spires are some of the most fascinating ones because astronomers have calculated that these spires are very tall for them to be exclusively natural occurrences.” – Giorgio A. Tsoukalos |
|
“They have to be artificial, simply from the fact that the Moon has been bombarded in kind of an incessant meteoric rain for 4.5 billion years. There is no way that anything bigger than a basketball can be standing straight up on the lunar surface.” – Michael Bara (Author, The Choice), |
|
“The inference is that NASA would have known this and that one of the reasons that they sent their mission there was so that the astronauts of the Apollo mission could gain more information about these artificial structures on the Moon.” – Alan Butler (Author, How to Read Prehistoric Monuments), |
|
“On Apollo 11, when the astronauts were descending to the lunar surface, they got this very strange computer alarm. The famous 1202 computer alarm. Basically, nobody knew what it was. What it came out to was that the computer itself was overwhelmed with information…because Buzz Aldrin, the lunar module pilot, had turned on the radars on the lunar lander. It had two radars – it had a side looking radar and it had a docking radar. So, in other words, you had one that pointed down and one that pointed to the side. Now, if there’s nothing on the surface of the Moon, if there are no artificial structures, if there are no spires sticking ten, 20 stories up into the sky, why would you turn on the side radar? There’s no reason to, but Aldrin did it. And, I think it’s because he knew and NASA knew that there was some danger of running into these things.” – Michael Bara (Author, The Choice), |
Is it possible that NASA actually has knowledge of structures on the Moon? In 1960, NASA officials commissioned a report from the Brookings Institute to weigh the implications of the discovery of evidence of extraterrestrial life. Due to the findings of the report, researchers believe it was determined before the Moon missions to keep any extraterrestrial findings hidden from the public for fear of social unrest.
|
“Since the time of the very first Apollo Moon missions, researchers have pored over NASA and Russian photos of the Moon…looking for structures. And they found some unusual things. You would think, in fact, that if extraterrestrials are on the Moon, or were, that they would have built all kinds of structures. And we’re able to see some of these, even though NASA scientists don’t’ acknowledge them as genuine.” – David Childress (Author, Technology of the Gods) |
But perhaps as intriguing as the various structures seen on the surface of the Moon are the numerous reports of lights and other unexplainable activity. Intermittent reflections emanating from the lunar surface have been observed for more than a century, including reports by famed astronomer Francis Bailey in 1835. And the phenomenon was also reported by the Apollo 11 crew.

“The windows are all dark. And that’s when I began seeing a flash and a streak and another flash. Flicker flashes we called them. Kept seeing them. And I said, ‘You guys see anything unusual? You see any flashes?’ Neil said, ‘Yeah, I saw about 100 of them.’ ‘How about you, Mike?’ ‘Nah, I didn’t see a thing.’ Any deep analysis by the crew as to what the hell it was? No. ‘Cause we were on our way home. Let’s let somebody else worry about that.” – Buzz Aldrin, Ph.D. (NASA Astronaut, Apollo 11 Moon Landing) |
|
“These things were actually disclosed by NASA in their own transient lunar anomalies catalog showing lights moving around, showing puffs of smoke, showing things that should not be there on the Moon’s surface, all of which suggests that there is, in fact, a very thriving extraterrestrial community living on the Moon today.” – David Wilcock (Author/Filmmaker), |
Might there not only be structures on the lunar surface but also unidentified activity, activity that might point to current extraterrestrial occupation of the Moon? Ancient Astronaut Theorists say yes, and suggest that further evidence may be found on the dark side of the Moon.
