Once again, responding to a (often) repeated thread with a (often) repeated answer...
I used to be one who believed that the moon landing was a farse. The lighting and shadows didn't aline, the movements of the actors didn't seem to
be what was expected, lunar dust really wasn't there, EVERYTHING seemed staged, especially when one considers the movie
Capricorn One (come
on, someone's gotta remember that one!)
But then I started to hear about some of the astronaught's conversations concerning spacecraft on crater rims, orbiting objects, a rarely heard
statement of "we are not alone up here"...
Not to mention the geological anomolies, a supposed "glass dome" or a far-fetched and confusing picture of a "floating castle"...
I can ignore the castle and the glass dome. Heck, I can even ignore "unusual surface features"; those strike me too much as sounding from a
Fantastic Four comic book featuring the Watcher... but what strikes me is the astronaughts talking about UFO's. Lights. Moving objects. Gleaming
metalic surfaces.
Which puts me in a far different catagory: the Maybe's.
Maybe we did go to the moon. Maybe we didn't. I think there is enough evidence for both sides to have as much fun as they want to debunk each
other. So here are two questions for each side of the arguement:
1. For those who say we did go... why haven't we been back again? Costs? A loss of technology or drive?
2. For those who say we didn't go... then explain the astronaughts seeing unexplained craft and lights.
That's it, that's all. There is my dilema. I want to believe we went for science sake. But for some reason, I am torn. Why haven't we returned?
How did we land with a craft that was ridden with so many problems (aka oxygen tank rupture, launch problems, lunar dust expectancy)? What were
those things they did see up there? What were the objects that trailed the orbiter?
How can I believe they saw spacecraft if we didn't go to the moon? How can I except we landed on the moon in light of my own observations?
See my problem?
Anyway... to sum up... alien craft and Capricorn One. What else is there?
