There are many descriptions of observations of mysterious phenomena on the moon. There are versions about what the moon is. The most curious, common, and quite plausible are two of them:
1) The moon is a resource base for aliens, in which they extract minerals. Supporters of this version argue that the peak of activity of mysterious phenomena on the Moon comes at the moment of the arrival of the next batch of UFOs on the Moon to export raw materials.
2) The moon is a giant space research base of artificial aliens. The adherents of this version are sure that the huge space station for some unknown reason failed and found a refuge near the Earth, becoming its satellite.
There is an opinion that our planet did not have its own satellite 10 thousand years ago. This is justified by the fact that the moon is not indicated on any of the ancient maps of the starry sky.
More than 500 thousand lunar craters can be seen in a powerful telescope. The largest of them is called Baie, its diameter is about 300 km, and the area is slightly larger than the area of Scotland.
The dark spots visible with the naked eye on the surface of the moon are called seas. They have no water, but millions of years ago they were filled with volcanic lava. Some of them are quite large, for example, the Ocean of Storms is larger than the Mediterranean.
There is no air or water on the satellite. The soil there is so dry that nothing can grow on it. But the researchers found that in the samples of the lunar soil delivered to Earth, plants can grow.
Unlike the earth's surface, which is constantly changed by water by the action of water and wind, the surface of the moon remains unchanged. The footprints that were left on the Moon by the Apollo astronauts will be visible for at least 10 million years.

On the surface of the mysterious Moon, many structures have been discovered, which do not raise doubts about their artificial origin.
"Some partially destroyed objects on the lunar surface cannot be attributed to natural geological formations," experts say. "They have a complex organization and geometric structure."
• An astronomer from Japan in the 1990s with the help of an 800x telescope several times managed to shoot huge moving objects with a video camera, about 20-50 km in diameter.
• The sensation was the report of Richard Hoagland - a former employee of NASA. He claimed to have obtained photographs taken during the Apollo 10 and Apollo 16 missions to the moon. The photographs show various structures in the form of bridges, towers, stairs and spiers, going down to the bottom of the crater.
• American engineers Vito Saccheri and Lester Hughes in 1979 saw images of the lunar surface in the library of NASA's Houston department. They had an image of a city with various mechanisms and structures. Even pyramids similar to the ancient Egyptian ones were visible there. The photographs also show aircraft that flew over the city or stood at launch sites.
• In the area of Tycho crater, strange terrace-like rock formations were found. Concentric hexagonal workings and the presence of a tunnel entrance on the slope of the terrace cannot be explained by natural processes. It is more like opencast mining.
• The New York Times published a sensational article: "A human skeleton was found on the moon." The newspaper refers to the astrophysicist from China Mao Kan. It was he who, back in 1998, shocked the entire scientific world by presenting at a conference in Beijing a photograph where the imprint of a human foot could be clearly seen on the lunar surface. Now the astrophysicist has presented to the scientific world pictures showing the human skeleton.
It is technically possible to see such small details on the lunar surface. Modern optics makes it possible to read the headlines of newspapers spread on the ground from Earth's orbit. But that's why the "reliable source in America", referred to by Mao Kann, is in no hurry to officially release these images.
• Back in the early 70s, XX century, the sensation went around the world. The American satellite "Viking-1" flew around Mars and photographs were obtained from it, where one can clearly see the cone-shaped structures. Not far from them was a giant human face carved out of a rock. They were clearly artificial in appearance.
• 1715, May 3 - the famous astronomer E. Louville observed a lunar eclipse in Paris. At about nine-thirty GMT, he noticed at the western edge of the moon some flashes or momentary tremors of light beams, as if someone were setting fire to powder tracks, with the help of which time mines were detonated.
These light flashes were very short-lived and appeared in one place or another, but always from the side of the shadow (Earth). This message is set forth in the Memoirs of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Paris, 1715.
The paths of the observed luminous objects were curved. The eyewitness himself believed that he was observing a thunderstorm on the moon - for that time it was still plausible. This fact itself does not say anything in favor of the presence on the moon of representatives of the EC. But there are a number of observations of luminous moving and stationary objects on the Moon, which we are not yet able to explain. So, the described phenomenon cannot be explained by the projection of meteors burning in the earth's atmosphere onto the lunar disk. At the same time with E. Louville in Britain outbreaks were observed by the famous E. Galley (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in London, 1715).
The same meteor cannot be projected onto the lunar disk simultaneously in Paris and London. In addition, meteors would be observed all over the disk rather than clustering around its western edge.
• 1738, August 4 - at 16:30 GMT, something similar to lightning appeared on the disk of the moon. (Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, 1739).
• 1842, July 8 - During a solar eclipse, the lunar disk was occasionally crossed by bright stripes. This is noted in the Bureau of Longitude Calendar for 1846.
• 1870 - Birt observed a "lightning" on the Moon (Astronomical Register, 1870).
• “I was working in the yard of our house and accidentally looked at the moon. She was very beautiful - a clearly outlined young Moon, and I was looking at her when suddenly some flashes of light cut through the darkness, but definitely within the shaded part of the Moon … Without mentioning my observations, I called my wife to also pay attention to the young moon … She said, "Oh yes, I see lightning on the moon," adding that it appeared within the lunar disk. We observed another 20 or 30 minutes, during which the phenomenon was repeated at least six or seven times. This recording was made at 7:40 am. the afternoon of June 17, 1931 ". Observation author - J. Giddings.
The astronomers at Mount Wilson Observatory, to whom Giddings sent the letter, did not take the observation seriously - it contradicted their ideas about the moon. After 15 years, the report on this observation was sent by the author to the reputable scientific journal Science, where the message was published.
• A century and a half earlier, on October 12, 1785, the famous planetary explorer I. I. Shreter observed the following phenomenon:
“After 5 hours on the border of the dark lunar disk and actually in the center of the Sea of Rains … quite unexpectedly and quickly there was a bright flash of light, consisting of many single, separate small sparks, having exactly the same white light as the illuminated side of the Moon, and moving all the time along a straight line facing north through the northern part of the Sea of Rains and other parts of the lunar surface bordering it from the north, and then through the empty part of the telescope's field of view. When this rain of light was halfway through, this kind of flash of light appeared in the south over exactly the same place …
The second flash was exactly the same as the first, it consisted of similar small sparks that flashed away in the same direction, exactly parallel to the direction to the north … The change in the position of the light before crossing the edge of the telescope's field of view took about 2 seconds, total duration this phenomenon - 4 sec."
Unfortunately, Schroeter did not mark the place where the luminous phenomenon disappeared. But he indicated the direction and the starting point, from which, roughly determining the current of the cessation of observation of the object as the Sea of Cold (the path traveled by the objects will be approximately equal to 530–540 km), we can approximately calculate the speed, which will be equal to 265–270 km / sec.
This is incredible speed! For comparison, let's say that an earth rocket flying to the moon has a speed of about 12 km / s, to other planets of the solar system - about 17 km / s. We do not, of course, pretend to be accurate in calculating the speed, but in any case, the order of this value will be exactly that!
The speed can be much lower only in one case - if we are dealing with a projection onto the moon of a phenomenon that occurs in the earth's atmosphere. But the appearance of two meteorite swarms of the same brightness over the same point on the Moon for a short time is an absolutely incredible phenomenon. It is also impossible to explain the fact that both objects appeared above the same zone of the lunar surface.
• In Issue 26 (1942) of the Journal of the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, the following report by Walter Haas was published:
“On July 10, 1941, I observed the nearly full Moon through a 6-inch reflector at a magnification of 96 times … I saw a tiny speck of light moving across the surface of the Moon. It appeared west of the Gassendi crater … and traveled almost exactly eastward before disappearing at the short wall of Gassendi. The speck was significantly smaller than the central Gassendi peak, and its angular diameter did not exceed 0.1 arc seconds. The brightness was constant along the entire path, the magnitude of the spot was estimated at +8.
The flight duration was about one second. At about 5:41 am, I saw a fainter spot somewhere south of Grimaldi. The end point of the movement was clearly visible, the spot there was strikingly definite, and we could accordingly exclude the explanation of the phenomenon by the imposition of some terrestrial object on the lunar disk, located low in the atmosphere, since it would move across the entire field of view of the telescope … The speed relative to the moon was the least 63 miles per second (116.676 km / sec).
It is also impossible to explain this phenomenon by a meteorite, since meteors never maintain a constant brightness in flight, in addition, the projection of the beginning and end of the trajectories of two meteorites onto the lunar disk is also not possible. The most important objection is that the 8th magnitude meteorite at a distance of 100 km (typical distance) has angular dimensions more than two orders of magnitude greater than the angular dimensions of the observed object.
• Especially frequently moving objects were observed over the Sea of Tranquility. In 1964, different observers saw them in the same area - south or southeast of Ross D crater - at least four times. A summary of such reports is published by NASA in the Chronological Catalog of Lunar Events Reporting (1968). The objects looked like light or dark spots that moved tens or hundreds of kilometers in a few hours. These cases cannot be explained by the clouds of dust raised by the meteorite impact, because the fall of the meteorite leads to a symmetrical ejection of soil. There are other reasons for not treating objects as clouds of dust or erupted gases.
• 1964, May 18 - Harris, Cross and others for 1 hour 5 minutes observed a white spot over the Sea of Tranquility, which was moving at a speed of 32 km / h. Over time, the stain diminished in size. If it consisted of dust or gas, it could only increase. In addition, the lifetime of the spot was 10 times longer than the lifetime of an artificial gas cloud ejected by a rocket, and 5 times that of a cloud raised when an earth ship landed on the lunar surface.
• 1967, September 11 - a group of Montreal observers and P. Jean noticed in the Sea of Tranquility a body that looked like a dark rectangular spot, purple at the edges, moving from west to east for 8-9 seconds. The body was no longer visible near the terminator, and after 13 minutes. near the Sabin crater, located in the area of movement of the spot, a yellow color flashed for a split second.
After 20 days, again in the Sea of Tranquility, Harris noticed a bright spot that was moving at a speed of 80 km / h. It should be noted that a year and a half later, Apollo 11 landed in the same area, just a hundred kilometers east of Sabin crater.
Is it a coincidence that the first spacecraft landed in this area? Had NASA sent him there specifically to find out the nature of the anomalous phenomena?
• And here's another curious fact. The lunar soil in the Apollo 11 landing area was partially melted. This reflow could not be produced by the landing block engines. According to Professor T. Gold, who considered various explanations for this phenomenon, no earlier than 100,000 years ago the soil was exposed to light 100 times brighter than the sun. Such ground melting was not found in the places of other lunar expeditions landings. As can be seen, a rather small part of the surface was irradiated.
Apparently, the height of the source above the lunar soil was small. But what source? Of all the samples brought from the moon, only one - picked up by the crew of Apollo 12, which landed 1400 km from the landing site of Armstrong and Aldrin - was melted (sample 12017).
And here are two more cases of observing similar objects on the Moon. Here is what V. Yaremenko observed from Odessa:
• “It happened in 1955, somewhere in the middle of August. I studied in the sixth grade, was fond of astronomy. Having built a telescope from a drainpipe, he examined with interest the craters on the surface of the Moon. The telescope turned out to be not so hot, a thin colored halo glowed around the moon, but the magnification was sufficient to examine in detail the countless lunar craters, mountains and seas. Curious boys crowded around me, they vying with each other asked to look through a telescope.
It was about eight in the evening when I allowed another youngster to the "pipe". "Wow, what mountains … There is something flying!" the boy suddenly shouted. I immediately pushed him aside and greedily clung to the eyepiece. Above the disk, parallel to its edge, at a distance of about 0.2 lunar radius, a luminous body flew, similar to a third-magnitude star in ordinary observation. Having flown a third of the circle (it took 4–5 seconds), the body descended along a steep trajectory to the surface of the Moon. Of course, this was not a projection of a meteorite falling to Earth. The body was quite large and … manageable! And no artificial satellites existed in those years"
