But as far as cool rock formations go I think THIS one is my favorite...







Spoilers Indeed!! Bah Humbug!


Someone asked about atmosphere? I wonder where this haze is coming from?

That reminds me of the space shuttle ....

very cool indeed.

My wife and I was talking last night, I was telling her about this thread and the pictures... her comments were...

yeah, but people see what they want to see in anything... I told her yeah somewhat, but there are a couple of "objects" in these pics that really just stand out.. she agreed to look at them with me this weekend... thats cool in itself

This is frustrating, but I will continue to listen to both sides.

No offense, Zorgon, but I think my picture a few pages back demonstrates that you are looking at a zigzagging terrace mesa head on, not a parking garage. But if you can't see that the cube comes from the ZigZag, then I can only use the same argument others here are using in the opposite perspective: If you can't see the connection, well, too bad for you. Well, ok, I WONT use that argument because it serves no purpose. Instead, I will just ask that you take a look at the zigzag feature in photo 5, then rotate the perspective down towards ground level in your mind. You will see that the zigs basically line up to form a 'cube' with a tail hanging off that has been interpreted as a ramp.

The 'ramp' can be specifically pointed out as a tail on one of the zigs. In my opinion, you are letting your brain make too many assumptions about vertical structure. I think John Leer is dead wrong about the parking garage.

That is not to say that (a) John is wrong about the moon or that (b) the gov doesn't release disinfo to disinform its consituency.

But I really want to meet and talk to one of these NASA photo-editors personally. That would be a great experience and give me far more insight into a world view.

For now, all I have seen is a zigzaging mesa viewed head on misidentified as a parking garage at the wrong size scale.

I will look into the crane photos and try to find the regions of topology from photo 5 to look for matches. What I need to see is one where topology is not the explanation. Zorgon, you said you are going to post a big photo with all of the interesting stuff circled. That would be extremely helpful as then I could focus on trying to match them up with things in photo 5. If I can't find exemplary matchups, then I can start to think about retouching or cranes being moved around. But for now, I have only seen one example, and the result was negative.

I get the feeling that maybe John took high altitude spy photography, and thus has more insight into how to do this stuff than he says. But maybe I am just reading into this too much. IN either case, all I can do is go with what I see from my analysis, and so far it is bleak. I'll hold off on further commentary until I can really analyze all of the stuff being pointed out, and that could take some time.

Ok – I’m going to try again before I give up. I think my attempt to outline what I was talking about on the image on page 15 of this thread may have actually made what I’m pointing out harder to see. The image below is the area around the “Box” cropped out of the photo and resized by 100% to make it easier to see. I have applied no filtering whatsoever. I put one little red dot below the “Box” so you can find it easily. I put a tiny yellow dot below the small piece of exposed ledge on the other side of the larger feature I’m referring too.

Locate the “Box” on the image. Now instead of looking at just that little detail on the photo, look at the whole area to the right of the “Box”. You will see that the layers of the exposed ledge (the “Box”) extend to the right and they are part of the larger feature. They extend to the right to another small piece of exposed ledge on the other side of the area which has sloughed off for some reason. The top layer of the “Parking Garage” extends to the bottom of the two layers exposed on the other side of the feature.

The images of Basalt layers on Earth I posted are to point out why I believe we are looking at a similar feature. Remember the moon photo’s were shot from many miles away and the negative they were taken from was badly degraded before the print was made that this scan is from. Because of this your mind has to fill in the details. You can easily tell that the “Box” is not square however from the shadows and highlights. When Basalt layers break off the do leave fairly flat faces in terraced ledges like the earth images on my earlier post. From that distance you would not be able to see the small details and these terraced ledges would appear as they do in this image. Since the moon is in a large part Basalt, it should surprise no one to see features like this in Moon photo’s.

Here is a link to a description of Basalt (Gabbro) –

Now the image –

But don't forget that your "zigzag" is a top view, not a front view... it kinda looks like pointed spires on the roof too...:p


But the parking Garage wasn't my find... that one is Johns

Zorgon, you said you are going to post a big photo with all of the interesting stuff circled. That would be extremely helpful as then I could focus on trying to match them up with things in photo 5.



LOL working on that and I do have it all on my website, but there has been so much to correlate so its taking a while. And I am conscious of the scale thingy, as well as the "looks like" rock formations {usually way off scale} and the shadows...

But you will have to be patient. I DO have a day job you know... But the first two fixed pages on my site will be up in a couple of hours. I am breaking the "enigmas" into areas and matching them location wise with the four pics and where they correspond on #5. Too bad the scale and clarity of #5 is different... that makes it hard to find some of them.

I have on the site done the best I can to show what and where they are. As I said before I am taking the time because I want that info on my site, but if it helps anyone to see what we see so much the better. What I have noticed is the overall effect of the anomalies I have pinpointed... and as a whole picture... it is way to much for coincidence...



I get the feeling that maybe John... more insight into how to do this stuff than he says.



Ummmm errr who spilled the beans?

But your right it will take some time to analyse everything... especially the real anomalies because they are so tiny and therefor difficult to recognize. Some people have a trained eye for minute details in photos and also the ability to be able to recognise features that may not appear to a normal person ie those guys who spend hours pouring over spy photos, especially from the 60's LOL

And sometimes you can look at the thing for hours and not see it because you are not really sure what you are looking for. I have done so... especially looking at the black, and not seeing the white... if you know what I mean.

Yes it would be nice if we had IKONOS type clarity... but then there would be no mystery would there? But I wonder how many would then say... "It's a hoax! I don't believe it" like they did with the Lunar landings?

Those who suggest that one has to 'believe' in anomalies to see them should remember that the inverse is as just about as true; if you do not your subconscious mind will take the hint and make sure your information feed wont enable much else. We do not perceive anything 'as it is' ( whatever it may be in a 'objective reality'- good luck- not tainted by perception or what our limited senses enables for us) but really as we are and those who do not understand that may claim ( consciously anyways) that they are attempting a objective evaluation without having the subconscious predisposition to manage such.

The subconscious mind is a million times 'stronger' than the conscious mind ( Quoting Dr Bruce Lipton) and that is why lay people throughout history has so frequently been able to see what trained 'experts' simple can not( really will not as their powerful subconscious mind overpowers whatever objectivity they might consciously aspire to ) by looking at the very same reality. Formal schooling is but one of the processes by which our own very own minds ( and the most dangerous part of it) are turned against us by those who have always attempted to control us.

In closing the more you 'want' or 'need' to believe something the less trust you should put in what your senses 'tells you' and the more you should rely on what careful and extensive research reveals to you. If you have a vested subconcious interest in believing one thing over another ( the 'it just can't be' thinking) you must first establish why and address that before bothering with evidence as while the stronger part of your mind is actively sabotaging your attempted objective evaluation you don't stand much chance; it's that powerful a thing.
