The hypothesis that aliens are operating or operating on the moon received significant, or rather outstanding, reinforcements. A virtual archaeologist hiding under the nickname MexicoGeek pointed to an object that was clearly not erected by people. In a picture of the lunar surface - on one of those used in the Google Moon resource, he made out a tower. Determined its height - 5.6 kilometers. And he decided that the aliens are somehow using or using this tower to launch their spaceships.
The Google Moon resource shows the tower.
Alas, NASA is interested in the information of the virtual archaeologist. Which is extremely rare. Noah Petro, the specialist in charge of the camera installed on the LRO, which is now in the lunar orbit, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC), responded. He confirmed that the object MexicoGeek pointed to is indeed between the craters Rupes Liebig and Rimae Marsenius - specifically in the crater Marsenius E. But it is not a tower.
According to Petro, the illusion of a towering vertical structure with a platform on the "roof" is created by a small crater formed at the edge of Marsenius E and a trail of crumbling rock on its cone.
Scientists have found images of the crater area Rupes Liebig, Rimae Marsenius and Marsenius E taken by LROC under different lighting conditions. There is no tower on them - it "disappeared". A small crater, on the other hand, became apparent.
The tower begins to disappear even with a slight change in illumination.
In clear pictures, there is no tower at all.

Petro explained that the illusion was also caused by the poor quality of the images used by Google Moon to display the area with the "tower". They were made back in the 90s of the last century with the Clementine probe.
AT THIS TIME
Lunar craters are covered with some kind of balls
This Noah Petro disappointed. There is no tower. Now let him try to “wash” another researcher-homeworker - a certain Marcelo Irazusta, who saw strange spheres attached to several lunar craters. I saw again, studying the surface of our natural satellite using the Google Moon Internet resource. I estimated their diameter - about 80 meters. And naturally he suspected aliens of their creation.
Ufologist Scott C. Waring, who has drawn attention to the spheres on his website www.ufosightingsdaily.com, believes the objects are metal. Since they reflect light well, and in some places they generally look like huge lanterns.
Balls in craters.
For those wishing to look at the lunar spheres, the ufologist informs the coordinates of objects for searching in Google Moon:
27 ° 22'5.33 "N 150 ° 43'14.79" E
30 ° 39'12.68 "N 152 ° 3'11.86" E
30 ° 27'13.33 "N 152 ° 56'7.77" E
30 ° 29'39.60 "N 152 ° 53'11.88" E
30 ° 21'28.97 "N 153 ° 5'38.89" E
30 ° 11'8.38 "N 152 ° 56'5.32" E
31 ° 37'44.81 "N 153 ° 14'49.94" E
Let Noah Petro take a look. Suddenly he has clearer pictures of this area.
There is a multi-kilometer tower on the moon?
