To play Devil's Advocate, every time any compelling video evidence does come forward, it is immediately dismissed as a hoax. Just as there are those who are convinced that Queen Elizabeth is a shape-shifting space lizard, there are those who would remain skeptical about the existence of extraterrestrials even if an alien landed on their front lawn and b**chslapped them.

As for the cell phone comment... Let's just say I have had a personal experience where my brain simply could not process what my eyes were seeing. At the time, reaching for my smart phone to snap a photo was the very last thing on my mind.

Reading the posts in this thread I'm amazed... What does it take for people to see that their minds can see/imagine whatever it wants to when it comes to fuzzy/grainy/out of focus pictures?????

I read a paperback book back in the '70s called I believe 'We are not alone" -- Had numerous pictures of "unequivocal evidence" of alien structures, alien mining machines 35 miles long, plumes of dust from alien vehicles... alien cannons on the sides of craters. Well, here we are 45 years later...

Other countries have mapped the nearside and farside of the Moon, does anyone ever stop and think why haven't THEY come forward if they found conclusive evidence of aliens?

Oh yeah, the timeworn phrase: Mankind would be thrown into a panic if THE EVIDENCE was released.

The never-ending babble from the alien/UFO groups citing "experts believe" "government coverup" "conspiracy" "The evidence clearly shows" -or this one- "Science has no explanation for XYZ"

Do I believe other civilizations exist in the Multiverse? Heck yes.

Do I believe aliens are on the moon or living amongst us on Earth?

Is it any wonder why in this age of CGI, the Internet, people getting their rocks off on putting one over on everyone else, peoples gullibility and the state of the world that some people desperately want ~TO BELIEVE~?

Maybe reading some of the many other threads on this forum that have provided numerous examples of pareidolia right here on planet earth?

OK, that should be easy to prove since it is here. Show me some proof. Also I am interested in the "ancient" (Are there any new Sumerians?) Sumerians information on aliens on the moon.

Here a NASA image of one anomaly that stands 20 miles high. It looks like the ruins of some structure and there is no mountainous terrain in the vicinity of this strange object. There is no natural process that could possibly form this object.
Source and context for that image? Cause it looks like nothing to me.

Why does that raise the question of the validity? Also there are multiple governments that have studied the moon and they all do not always agree.

LOL, Governments are made up of people. If there was something this large there would be lots of people involved and it would not be a secret.

Specifically what resources? And would an advanced society still need the same resources that it needed 2,000 years ago. Why are they not harvesting these resources now?

I think they would have if aliens were visiting earth. I am not shocked that with better camera and video technology that we have less pictures. It is almost as if it is becoming to hard to perpetrate a fraud with the better technology and absence of grainy pictures.....

I could accept that if I thought aliens would have a need for something like that and if there were no clear historical record to backup the evolution of our satellite dishes....which there is. We even had them before we landed on the moon.

Interesting, but there are amateur space watchers that document and record launches and satellites, even tracking trajectory changes.

This is true but it does not address what it is said. You stated "our moon is the only moon in the solar system where one side of the moon is never visible from the planet" and were provided with several examples challenging this. Instead of admitting you were wrong or addressing the information provided you went off on an unrelated tangent similar to a squid squirting out ink to elude capture. If you have valid points you should be able to address criticism.

What other source of information other than what you have seen in front of you or on the Internet do you use?

I think that is what the whole movement is about "I am better than you because I KNOW something you don't". Which I find disingenuous and counter productive.

To who? Because I can guarantee if there was proof of this there would be a private enterprise planning on going there or telling us about it when they got back 10-20 years ago....

I've wondered that too, but then I think about when we were looking for that lost Malaysian plane and the Chinese, I think, provided some satellite photos. They were very crude and grainy. Are they hiding how good their tech is? Is it really that bad? How do we lose an airliner? Bottom line is, I was a bit put off with what I thought the state of the world's satellite/telescope/surveillance capability, so I'm not so sure the other countries have the ability to see anything and everything that goes on this planet, much less the far side of the moon.

I think this is still true. I think 80% of us wouldn't give a damn. Still got bills to pay, still got to get the kids to skill, still got to go to work. As along as ET ain't on his way to hit us with the ray gun, we're good.

But that other 20%.... Get them something to get riled up about and they can cause damage and bring society to its knees. Look what kind of gridlock and damage and panic a couple of brothers with pressure cookers can do, or guy and a kid with a rifle driving around DC, or one depressed airline pilot, or one bullied kid with a gun in a school or movie theatre. News like that could set off a bunch of them all at once. All over the world.

Inthe long run that DC sniper was a blip on the screen. One of the people shot was at the home depot within .5 to 1 mile of where I lived at the time. Nobody was panicking. People were talking. Still go to that very Home Depot frequently. Hardly ever think about it. Except for the people directly effected, and I do feel for those that are, these events forgotten about similar to other similar criminal events.

Of course, because they stopped him and it was over. But my point is what if it was more then one sniper. And if something like that was happening daily? If just 1 out of 20 people decided to stay home and go into their panic room or bunker and not come out, that would cause issues with the world and the economy.

I think an announcement of intelligent alien life would cause a small but significant portion of the world population to do things that would be detrimental enough to affect the rest of our lives and society in general.

I do not think it would and am not sure why people think that this would make people violent. In NYC when there are power outages neighbors generally help neighbors and form a tighter community.

I've been reading about aliens on the moon, on Earth, on Europa for over 60 years...

Tons of fuzzy, grainy, out of focus and enlarged so much the photo is a pixelated jumbled disaster, and as I said earlier, explanations and statements citing "experts believe" "government coverup" "conspiracy" "The evidence clearly shows" -or this one- "Science has no explanation for XYZ"

The incidents you mention only affected small geographical areas, and only the people who are scared of their own shadows were truly worried.

So you are saying 1,400,000,000 people are just primed ready to kill, maim and disrupt the society they live in should THE EVIDENCE is released...

Just to show readers how ridiculous MUFON investigations are I'll put this on the table...

The Rendlesham Forest incident


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2k4y8Vr6D84

~ How many readers in this forum have actually investigated the credentials and investigative training of the MUFON investigators?

~ How many readers in this forum with the I BELIEVE attitude have ever questioned the results of ANY MUFON investigation?
