THE DISAPPEARED BOOK
In 1977, a book by a certain J. Leonard was published in the UK with a sensational title: "There is someone else on our moon" and the subtitle: "Amazing facts of intelligent life on the moon are discovered." Who is hiding under the pseudonym J. Leonard? Unknown. In any case, this is a well-informed person who has managed to gain access to extensive, including top-secret information. Thirty-five photographs, each accompanied by a NASA code number, dozens of detailed sketches made, according to the author, from high-quality large-format photographs of NASA, are published in this book, the statements of experts and an extensive bibliography lead the reader to the stunning conclusion: NASA and many scientists from the world they have known for many years that signs of intelligent life have been found on the moon!

What is it? Disinformation? May be. But then the reaction to the book's release is striking. No denials, no comments, no discussion are known. If the photographs are fake, then the impudence of the author is surprising, who in the appendix gives the address of NASA, where you can get their copies. It is possible that NASA itself orchestrated the information leak. Here, for example, is the hypothesis of J. Leonard himself: “I am beginning to think that NASA presents these photographs with the position: 'Here they are. If you - the public and the scientific community - are not too interested or blind to see these oddities, this is your problem. We have no funds in the budget for your education. We barely have enough of them for our own needs."
In general, there are many strange things in this story. Let's say that the entire circulation almost immediately disappeared from store shelves. An attempt to distribute the second edition had the same result. There were only single copies accidentally exported abroad, including in the USSR. So almost nobody knows about the book. Roughly the same fate has other books on this topic, in particular "Alien Bases on the Moon" by Fred Steckling. Finding them on sale is almost impossible.
The size of the article does not allow dwelling in detail on all the riddles and versions presented by the authors. Let us acquaint the reader with only a few facts.

MYSTERIOUS LIGHT ON THE MOON
"Wow! - Astronaut Harrison Schmitt, the pilot of the Apollo 17 lunar module already on the first revolution around the Moon could not contain his surprise, - I just saw a flash on the lunar surface! The next day, during the fourteenth orbit around the Moon, it was the turn of another Apollo 7 pilot, Ronald Evans, to wonder: “Well! You know I would never have believed! I am right above the edge of the East Sea. I just looked down and saw a bright flash with my own eyes! " When one of the most important authorities on the physical and geological nature of the moon, Dr. Farouk El-Baz, a consultant and assistant to many American astronauts, was asked to comment on these observations, his answer was quite categorical: “There is no doubt that this is something grandiose: these are not comets, and this is NOT of NATURAL origin! " Need to mark,that strange light phenomena on the lunar disk have been known for a long time. As early as May 3, 1715, observing a lunar eclipse in Paris, the astronomer E. Louville noticed near the western edge of the moon "some flashes or instantaneous trembling of light rays … These light flashes were very short-lived and appeared in one place or another …" … It could be assumed that meteors were observed against the background of the moon, burning in the earth's atmosphere. However, at the same time with E. Louville, the famous E. Halley observed similar flares in the same region of the moon on the British Isles. Is it worth explaining that the same meteors burning at an altitude of several kilometers above the Earth cannot be seen against the background of the same region of the Moon simultaneously in London and in Paris?astronomer E.

One might think that "super-devices-1971" and similar mechanisms are used to cut into pieces the edges of craters, extract and crush rocks. The result of their work is a smooth cut on the crater wall.
The entire area of the Sea of Crises is full of such structures. Some rise into the sky, others are bent, but do not touch the ground, and others rest against the ground with both ends and look like arches or bridges.
The most common device on the moon is huge objects resembling two intersecting earthworms called "X devices." They range in size from 1 to 3 miles in any direction. Placed flat on the surface. In the places where they are located, directional, as if blown out, clouds of dust are recorded.
There are propeller-like objects several miles long. Some of them are visible in the faults of the lunar surface, which suggests that these are giant parts of some kind of underground structures or communications.
And the library of the Royal Astronomical Society contains a lot of information about strange light spots and fluctuations in light on the moon. For example, astronomers have long been attracted by the strange light that periodically appears in lunar craters. Especially often in the craters Plato and Aristarchus.
Moving objects are often observed in the Seas of Crises and Tranquility. So, in the area of the latter in 1964, at least four times light or dark spots were seen, moving tens and even hundreds of kilometers in a few hours. On September 11, 1967, for 8-9 seconds, Canadian scientists recorded a dark rectangular spot with purple edges here, which was clearly visible until it entered the night area. And after 13 minutes in the direction of the spot, near the Sabin crater, a flash of yellow light appeared.
And, apparently, it was no coincidence that after a year and a half, Apollo 11 landed in this area. The study of the lunar soil at the landing site surprised even specialists. It was melted and, in the opinion of Professor T. Gold, energy 100 times more powerful than the sun emits.
What kind of source it was is unknown. Experts believe that he was at a low altitude above the moon. In 1968, NASA published a summary of the mysterious observations on the Moon in its Chronological Catalog of Lunar Events. Among the 579 lunar phenomena were named: moving luminous objects; colored trenches lengthening at a speed of 6 km / h; giant domes that change their color; a large luminous object, the so-called "Maltese Cross", observed on November 26, 1956; geometric figures; disappearing craters. The Catalog also records the speeds of movement of the above-mentioned spots in the Sea of Tranquility - from 32 to 80 km / h.
One of the most interesting observations of recent times belongs to a Japanese amateur astronomer. Our television more than once played a video of a shadow moving rapidly across the surface of the moon, which he made with a telescope. If this is not a hoax, then the size of the shadow (about 20 km in diameter) and the enormous speed of its movement (in 2 seconds the shadow passed about 400 km) suggests a high technical level of the object.
All these facts forced NASA to purposefully and seriously deal with anomalous phenomena on the Earth's satellite. In 1972, a special program was created, to which dozens of experienced "public" observers armed with telescopes were connected. Each of them NASA has allocated four lunar regions, where lunar phenomena have been repeatedly observed in the past. Numerous symposia and articles have been devoted to these oddities.
Near almost every spray crater, a perfectly shaped, bright blue cross can be seen, leaving a clear shadow. Perhaps these are signs that should be visible from great distances, a kind of message: "X-device is working here."
Attempts to explain these anomalous phenomena by flashes in the eyes of astronauts, which occur when cosmic particles hit the eyeball, did not stand up to criticism. First, the astronauts themselves will never confuse them with point flares on the planet's surface, because cosmic rays cause a very characteristic picture in the human eye. Secondly, light phenomena on the Moon are observed not only by astronauts, but also by terrestrial researchers, who are not subject to such a "space bombardment". And thirdly, cosmonauts and astronauts describe flares from cosmic particles as instantaneous. On the Moon, on the other hand, long, even hours-long, luminescence or periodic flickering were repeatedly observed in the same place.
Some people believe that the flares on the moon are the result of meteorite impacts on rocks and rocks. However, this can explain only occasional short-term and one-time effects, but not long-term luminescence over large areas.
Other facts contradict the meteorite hypothesis. In particular, the simultaneous observation in the United States and South Africa of a certain "comet-like object" passing through the lunar disk on September 27, 1881. The distance between observation points was about 12 thousand km. And one more interesting fact described by the famous planetary explorer I. I. Schreter in his book "Fragments of the lunar topography for a more accurate knowledge of the lunar surface" (1791). He says that he saw a flash in the center of the moon, consisting of many single small sparks and rapidly moving in a straight line to the north. “When this rain of light had passed half the way, a similar flash of light appeared in the south, exactly over the same place … The second flash was exactly the same as the first, it consisted of similar small sparks,which flashed away in the same direction to the north … "Such a unique phenomenon is difficult to explain by the fall of meteorites.

The "gas" hypothesis seems to be the most reasoned. It was believed that during the formation of the moon, gases could get under the still not cooled lava flows, and now they are gradually being released. But spontaneously emitted gases, as a rule, have neither color, nor rhythm, nor, moreover, shape and size. And on the Moon there is also a different color, and rhythmic flickering, and a clear configuration. It is unclear why the gases glow spontaneously. It is unlikely that the reason is the exposure of gases to ultraviolet rays from the Sun. After all, short-term flares and long-lasting glow are observed even when the Sun does not illuminate the lunar surface at all.
It was hypothesized that the Earth's magnetic tail accelerates solar particles, which bombard the Moon, causing flares and luminescence. But in this case, the glow and flares would be observed in random places, and would not be tied for decades and centuries to 90 certain areas on the Moon. And is it possible, for example, to compare the bright "brilliant shine" noted in 1948 with simple luminescence?
The hypothesis of volcanic activity, which allegedly erupts fire and smoke, contradicts, first of all, the modern official concept of NASA, according to which the Moon is considered a relatively dead, extinct planet. Here is what, for example, the "Preliminary report on the flight of the Apollo 17 spacecraft" says. “The Apollo spacecraft experiments aimed at determining whether the Moon is a“living”or“dead”planet show that, compared to the Earth, the Moon is seismically calm … Volcanism and other types of tectonic activity have been rare or absent during the last 2 -3 billion years … "One of the serious arguments in favor of this point of view is that eruptions of this scale would lead to noticeable changes on the lunar surface. And the glow of hot lava, probably, is difficult to confuse with the bright ones observed, like from electric welding,flashes of light. In addition, the tremors usual for an eruption would probably have been recorded by a network of seismographs installed on the moon. However, they were silent, even when on April 25, 1972, the Passau Observatory recorded on film in the area of the craters Aristarchus and Herodotus a grandiose "light fountain", which at a speed of 1.35 km / s reached an altitude of 162 km, shifted to the side by 60 km and disappeared.
OTHER CIVILIZATIONS ON THE MOON?
Scientists are desperately trying to find the natural cause of lunar phenomena, but so far without much success. At the same time, there is a rather unexpected point of view on everything that happens. "They (scientists)," writes J. Leonard, "neglect (consciously or unconsciously) the simple truth that the phenomena of lunar phenomena are associated with inhabitants on the Moon, who carry out their purposeful activities."
What speaks in favor of such a bold hypothesis? Much, very much! For example, strange objects that resemble some kind of mechanisms. The purpose of some devices can be guessed from the changes in the lunar surface that they leave. For example, the edges of some craters are destroyed by something that moves along them in a spiral (this is reminiscent of our giant open pit mines).
There are also cracks and cracks on the moon, as if “ grabbed ” clear stitches
Many craters, especially on the far side of the Moon, have a pronounced polygonal shape, which has not yet been explained. During the Apollo 14 flight around the Moon, a very interesting photograph was taken by the astronauts. This is a clear view of a giant mechanical device later called "Super-1971". Two light and delicate (metal?) Structures stand inside one of the craters. Moreover, without casting any shadow. Long cords stretch from their base. The device is roughly estimated to be 1-1.5 miles (1.6-2.4 km) in size.
Many times there are mechanisms similar to the scoop for grabbing soil (they were called "T-scoops"). To the east of the Smith Sea, on the far side of the Moon, near Sanger Crater, there is an area where you can see the results of their work: the device has already removed a huge section of the central slide and is on the edge, continuing to work. There are heaps of cobblestones nearby. Striking results are obtained by comparing three photographs of the same region taken from Apollo 16 during 50 revolutions around the Moon. An X-device is seen on the inner slope of the crater in the early picture. After 2 days, an active spraying process was recorded in the same place. One can only speculate about what these mechanisms are used for: search for raw materials, construction work, elimination of defects in the lunar crust, archaeological tasks,gas extraction to create artificial atmosphere …? Experts have calculated that from 2.5 tons of rock using the reduction process, almost a ton of oxygen can be obtained. This reserve is enough for an earthling for 3 years! "Isn't that why THEY are destroying mountain ranges?" - asks J. Leonard.
Objects that move, leaving a trail behind them look very impressive. NASA calls them "cobblestones". J. Leonard claims that the American astronauts surveyed 34 such tracks in the Apollo 17 landing area. The length of the tracks ranged from 100 m to 2.5 km. The width reached 16 m. As a rule, they were grouped by 8-10. Most of the objects to which they belonged were 20-30% wider than the tracks themselves. Some were oblong in shape and the size of a room. How could they sometimes roll on an almost horizontal surface? And another mysterious fact: out of 34 surveyed tracks, only 8 ended in boulders. What left the other traces?
By the way, similar self-propelled boulders with a clear trace have been recorded on Earth, in particular in Death Valley (California).
WHO IS THE MOON GIVEN TO US?
In the late 60s, Soviet researchers M. Vasin and A. Shcherbakov suggested that the Moon is an artificial object, a kind of spacecraft that was transported to the Earth, and that under its surface, at a depth of tens of kilometers, there is a huge habitable cavity a height of about 50 km, having an atmosphere suitable for its inhabitants, technical devices, etc. The lunar crust is a protective shell for the cavity of many kilometers. Let's add one more interesting detail to this. Back in the early 60s, astronomer Carl Sagan reported that huge caves were discovered under the lunar surface with special instruments, conditions in which could be favorable for life. The volume of some of them reaches 100 cubic meters. km. The same hypothesis was then expressed by the director of the USSR Main Observatory in Pulkovo, Alexander Deich.
Two moving cobblestones casting clear shadows and their footprints in Vitello Crater. The length of the tracks is 270 and 360 m. But the most amazing thing is that the smaller object (in the upper part of the picture) did not slide down, but “ climbed out ” from the crater up!
Expeditions of American "Apollo" made the hypothesis of huge voids inside the natural satellite of the Earth even more substantiated. In July 1969, during the first landing on the moon, astronauts N. Armstrong and E. Aldrin installed a seismograph on its surface. After returning to the main ship, the already unnecessary lander was dropped onto the lunar surface. It was expected that the vibrations of deep rocks caused by the impact within a few seconds will be recorded and transmitted to the Earth by a seismograph. But an amazing thing happened: the device recorded vibrations for several … hours! Calculations have shown that this is possible only if there are huge cavities at a depth of 30-40 km - they resonate. Exactly the same results were obtained during the next five landings on the moon.
Similar considerations about hollowness were expressed at one time about Phobos, the trajectory and speed of movement of which are inexplicable by natural reasons. At one time, Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences I. Shklovsky put forward a version: anomalies in the trajectory of Phobos can be explained by only one circumstance - it is an artificial (man-made) object. Other scientists hypothesized that Phobos is a former asteroid, which was installed by some space civilizations in the orbit of Mars, where it is used as a logistics station. And that Phobos is hollow inside, since for many years its resources, rich in chemical elements, have been developed. But somehow attention to this hypothesis gradually faded away and flared up again only in January 1989, when the Soviet space probe Phobos-2 reached this satellite of Mars. On board the station was a very powerful laser installation, which from a height of 50 m was supposed to direct a beam to the surface of the satellite in order to analyze the gases generated under its influence.
However, something (or someone?) Prevented this experiment from being carried out. At the very beginning, a camera located on board the spacecraft recorded a strange object, apparently of artificial origin, about 25 km long, which was approaching the probe. On Earth, they managed to get several pictures (they were even shown on all-Union television) depicting this "something" that looked like a giant UFO, after which the connection suddenly disappeared and was no longer renewed.
It is now known that all flights of Gemini (1965-1966) and Apollo (1968-1975) were controlled from afar and near by mysterious flying objects. And how, in connection with the flight of "Phobos-2", not to remember the mysterious incident that occurred on the American spacecraft "Apollo-13". This is how the former NASA radio communications officer Maurice Chatelain describes the situation then: Apollo 13, which, as you know, failed to land on the moon, carried a small nuclear charge on board to create an artificial moonquake in order to observe seismographs (telemetry from the Earth) the infrastructure of the Moon. A mysterious explosion occurred on this ship, destroying one of the oxygen tanks in the cockpit. It is not known exactly whether this was done by the "saucer" that was watching the ship. This explosion was intended to prevent an experiment with a nuclear charge that could destroy the bases of extraterrestrial civilizations on the moon."

There is a hypothesis that the Moon is a giant spaceship that crashed and was forced in ancient times to "park" to the Earth for "major repairs". After all, natural space bodies with their many kilometers of protective shell, according to some scientists, are the safest and most reliable vehicles for interplanetary travel. This version, unlike others, explains many lunar phenomena. And the unusually flat, like a frying pan, the bottom of most multi-kilometer craters. (It seems that under the relatively thin "soft" outer shell there is an extremely strong sphere.) And details of some giant structures on the surface and in the fractures of the Moon, and fragments of cyclopean mechanisms, and much more. For example, the possibility of "repairing" the moon by a kind of "stitching" of a cracked surface. Traces of such "stitching" are clearly visible, in particular, in the area of the craters Bullialdus and Lyubinitsky.
The same hypothesis answers such a "tricky" question, sounded in one of the publications: "What prevented a highly developed civilization, which, obviously, had already overcome enormous interstellar distances, to overcome another 385 thousand km and settle on the heavenly planet Earth?" But after all, the "paradise" Earth is for us. And what is it like for the aliens in a strange, maybe even life-threatening, earthly atmosphere? And why leave the lunar "houses", laboratories, factories inhabited by many generations …?
And in conclusion, I would like to quote the amazing words of Neil Armstrong. And although he later refused them, many American radio amateurs heard his negotiations.
Armstrong: “What is this? What the hell is it? I would like to know the truth, what is it?"
NASA: “What's going on? Is there anything wrong?"
Armstrong: “There are big objects here, sir! Huge! Oh my God! Other spaceships are here! They are on the other side of the crater! Are on the moon and watch us!"
Our generation has become convinced that seemingly unshakable postulates can be destroyed in the shortest possible time, and is gradually weaning itself from categorical judgments. Although at times we continue to arrogantly and arrogantly ridicule something that does not fit into our usual earthly standards. But it is possible that some phenomena may be outside of our limited consciousness. Why should we, for example, rule out the possibility that life itself is capable of taking the form of self-propelled boulders, clouds or fog? Why can't we assume that intelligence exists as pure energy? After all, theoretically there is no limit to its forms!
According to J. Leonard, such a completely new phenomenon for our consciousness is the Moon. And when analyzing lunar phenomena, he believes, we must change our way of thinking, break out of the fetters of everyday perception.
