Clementine was a 1994 mission. Do you think that 30 years later than the earlier mission, it is odd that they get a better pic of the black dot? The octagonal nature of the "object" is due to the imaging process and does not mean that there is a smooth octagon in the crater. It is probably just a rock like millions of others on the Moon.

Did you even see the picture, the 1967 image is of a much superior quality. Please see the pictures before commenting please...

You can clearly see the "object " in question in Both photos. Yes there is a difference between them, but then again they were taken with two different imaging systems, under different lighting conditions, and with different imaging enhancements. I see nothing unusual in either image. I can even see in the earlier photo, why it appears to be a faceted object, or "Octangular" as you called it. Octagonal, Or an octagon would be an eight sided object. I see perhaps a five sided cone, but again that is just due to the image process.

I still see a rock in both photos. No NASA conspiracy.
