I've been messing around with the recent photos John posted. Is the saucer image the top of the pyramid? Just guessing.

Okay, let's just skip to the chase:
The following pic was "SPLIT HSL", which removed the layers above it that were hiding the information beneath. It's the structure/city/craft/mining facitility in Tsiolkowsky Crater, far side of the moon.
Notice the items labelled "A" and "B", and remember those as we will come back to them shortly. First, however, is a description of how the SPLIT HSL process worked:
1. Downloaded the original picture (will show you that following this blurb about how to split hsl).
2. Open in graphics program.
3. I use Paintshop Pro 8.
4. Then cilck Colors, then from menu choose Split HSL
5. Turned up the light on some, that falls under
Colors/
Adjust/
Brightness-Contrast
Diagrams for how to do it on Paintshop Pro 8:
6. First select color from the top menu
7. Then select Split Channel and Split HSL
8. You can get the latest version of paintshop at Corel (Use to be Jasc, but Corel bought it). It's paint shop pro 11. They have a free demo you can try, fully functional for 30 days
9. It's "Tiny URL" because the other one is so long. You'll be redirected to the site
/gw39r
10. This process separates the layers into a hue layer, a saturation layer and a lightness layer. If the pic is black and white, and was never a color image, it will separate into the three layers, two of which have no data. However, if it was a color image from the outset, the color mask will peel away when the hue layer is split from the saturation layer and you will be able to see how the scene may have appeared to the camera's eye when it was originally taken, depending on the type and extent of tampering that was done with the image originally.
11. Some pixellation occurs as the image is being stripped down into its basic components. The extent of the pixellation is determined by the surrounding features. For example, an underlying object that appears to be pixellated but has something above it that isn't pixellated, means that the underlying object is not pixellated. It will only be pixellated to the degree the object above it is pixellated. Observe what I mean by viewing the pic I posted at the beginning of this post. The smoke/clouds/fog, floating around and over top of the underlying structures in the pic, are not pixellated, so the structures underneath these mists/clouds/etc, are not pixellizations. It's really there and it really appears to be a multi-layered construct of some sort. The variations in light and dark shades of gray, white and black are the result of the "hue" layer being removed. The original color can only be guessed at.
12. The final step of uncovering this anomalie is to convert it back into a positive image, as removing the hue layer converts it to negative.
I challenge anyone who honestly looks at these images, to still claim they are not unusual or simply pixellized images. They are repetitive tubular and geometric constructs, issuing steam/smoke and encircled by an embankment of clouds. THAT is what Tsiolkowsky

Thx for the tips. Some interesting processes you've got there.
I labelled where you can seperate it in photoshop.

Yah I think we just might... And IF as we claim there is already a thriving active operation up there... wouldn't be to hard to arrange an "accident" and have their ship crash...
ESA's Smart 1 made a nice little cloud of dust when it went down...
Well Japan is out of the game now...

TOKYO - Japan's space agency has recommended scrapping its first moon mission after more than a decade of delays, a spokeswoman said Monday, in the latest blow to the country's beleaguered space program.

Don't know about India yet...
As to China... if we staged a war with them in say 2008, that would give Bush a reason to stay in office...

(Thanks to undo for the expose!)

As a test, try to see what was on the original image on the right of my Christmas tree.
You can not, there is no way to recover deleted information.
Please do not waste your time with a technique that is meaningless.
Edit: I forgot the photo of the Christmas tree.

i think a good added feature would be to show ..images of know earth features..that, may help put into perspective what is being looked at.
i think we have a rare opportunity to view what may be something overlooked by the NASA censors...
in my view..these pics were suppose to stop at the 'oh golly..nice pictures of the moon' and NASA hoped, because of time constrants, that people would not question and look at these pics in minute detail with very new tech.....an oversite or...'whistle blower' for future generations?!?
are there two space programs?..one for the public and one that is 'private'?! with all the evidence...WE MUST QUESTION IT
20th Space Surveillance Squadron
Location: United States Air Force
Point of Interest : The Tower was Built in 1960 and Contains a Transmitter and Receiver that are Components of the Largest Phase Radar in the World. The Radar was Used to Track Soviet Targets, and Now Assists with the Space Shuttle. This Radar also Tracks the Equatorial Plain Orbit. It is Capable of Tracking a Target the Size of a 12 oz. Soft Drink Can 25,000 Miles Away in Space. The Total Value of the Radar Tower is in Excess of $800,000,000.

Ok, I'm still having trouble with these "clouds" that everyone is seeing.
If these really exist, then why don't they cast a shadow like all other clouds on Earth do?
With what appears to be a grey sitting staring at it. Anyone else see what appears to be a humanoid sitting there looking straight at that dark square? Maybe I'm the one seeing things now, I dunno. It sure does look goofy to me too.
Good find. Now I'm thinking again...
