We are reminded of the famous transmission by an orbiting US astronaut whereby he referred on the radio to seeing an extraterrestrial craft. After that incident, NASA decided to scramble all their radio transmissions.

Maybe because it wasn't an extraterrestrial craft and NASA acted to prevent causing a panic on future missions by a misunderstood or ill concieved comment?

I really don't think stupidity enters into it at all. I think we're perfectly capable of viewing the same set of circumstances and drawing very different conclusions. I've sure got no inside info. Wish I did. I have yet to experience, or obtain otherwise, information that would lead me to conclude to an absolute certainty that there is an ET presence in our solar system.

Wondering how the moon could have generated the ''gong'sound as sound does not travel in a vacuum..
Is someone suggesting that the sound reverberated through the legs of the landing module??

No, it simply does not have the Earth's molten core and semi-liquid mantle.
I see. But how can the very unusual sustained reverberations be explained? Something doesn't add up.

If it's not hollow, then there is definatly something very unusual about its innards, and its shell. Do you agree?

Seismic activity on the Moon is very low, basically insignificant. Due to the lack of plate tectonics, Lunar seismic activity is about a 100 millionth of Earth's, or ~2 x 10e10 J/yr (excluding impacts). In eight years of monitoring, a large-but-rare moonquake has not been recorded, but it is possible to have up to 1 x 10e14 J/yr if such events were recorded. The largest recorded seismic activities are approximately equivalent to a 4 on the richter scale, with 1-2 being typical.
The lunar seismic activity is usually caused from tidal forces and secondary effects from impacts. Secondary effects includes fresh crater ejecta cracking due to thermal stresses and disruption of slopes with high angles of repose. Other, non-seismic activity includes astronaut activity and impacts (both meteorite and artificial).
The Moon has very low elastic wave propagation losses, and seismic activity is thus clearly registered over long distances. This low attenuation also results in a long half-lives of seismic energy, in the tens of minutes, and the phrase "rang like a bell" after an Saturn upper stage lunar impact.
