No. It couldn't be anything. First of all it couldn't be a market because markets are usually one story, ground level. Patrons don't want to walk upstairs for some beans. Second of all, it can't be a flyng saucer because it is not saucer shaped. Thirdly it can't be an alien because it doesn't have big almond shaped eyes. No, it can't be 'anything'.

It could also be rock formations, shadows, crap on the lens, etc.

I disagree. For a moon picture I think the resolution is extraordinary. But if you are comparing it to Ansel Adams photographs of Yosemite, then the resolution is lacking.

Well, fuzzy photos really don't give any evidence at all. because of the lack of resolution, you can't make anything out.

No. Inkblots are smudges of ink used to determine alleged states of mind based
on average or norms. This is not an inkblot.

Durrr... I know it is not an inkblot, I know it is a picture of the moon's landscape. What I was trying to convey to you, is that the results of inkblot tests are subject to the imagination of the patient: in other words, whatever the patient wants to see in the inkblot, he sees. I think this is a similar case. I think you are seeing what you want to see, what you wish to see, when in reality, there is just shadows, rock formations, etc.

My imagination is tempered with years of photo interpretation so what I see in form may look like just tricks of light and shadows to those with less experience.

see, I can't take what you say as fact, because the way I see it, none of your observations of these photos makes sense to me. I guess that is my own problem.

Since we are looking at a structure straight on I would assume that the roads, if any, would be visible around the object from an overhead view. However, Copernicus5, looks straight down on the object and I am unable to find the object itself or roads if any.

Either way, from this perspective I don't see any access ways to this so-called garage. But then again, you must be seeing something that I don't.

Well, for one thing, its a still picture and a still picture does not show movement. For another all the cars may be parked. Or it might be Sunday or whatever day Moon people take off to go to church.

Comments like this make me thing that you are being condescending, which in my opinion hinders the discussion.

Nope. Can't say I know that for a fact. But it sure looks like a parking garage to me. I guess what tipped me off was the ramp on the left. Otherwise it could have been just a bank building.

That, sir, is really all I wanted to hear (read).

I agree that you are no expert. As to your 'feelings' that it is 'so impractical' to have secret bases on the moon I believe that there are those who would disagree. Why do you feel it is 'so impractical' to have secret bases on the moon? Thanks for taking the time to respond to my questions.

Don't worry, I don't think you are an expert either.

The amount of money it costs to get to the moon is astronomical. The distance (over 220 thousand miles) takes a while to travel. The secrecy just doesnt make any sense whatsoever. The ability to hide everything from ameteur astronomers would be astounding. Oh wait, I forgot, in another thread, you said there were forests on the moon, breathable air, whole cities etc. You have yet to show conclusive evidence of your claims, along with counter arguments that go against the physics that govern this solar system.

So again, what I see, what I have always seen with your photos, are just pretty shots of the moon, and nothing more.
