The moon, however, is dry, cool and mostly rigid, like a chunk of stone or iron. So moonquakes set it vibrating like a tuning fork. Even if a moonquake isn't intense, "it just keeps going and going," Neal says. And for a lunar habitat, that persistence could be more significant than a moonquake's magnitude.

first off, anyone ever hear of Pumice?? it's a very hard glass like rock substance that can float on water

The moon was ringing like a bell and continued to do so for around an hour. After they had had a chance to analyse the seismological information, NASA declared that the moon seemed to be a hollow sphere with a metallic layer around 34-40 metres deep.

It is true that aliens live and work inside the moon but it is not hollow per se. The moon has gigantic caverns as does earth. Within these caverns are huge laboratories and probably living quarters. The same is true for earth.

I think its funny people doubt the moon is hollow for no reason at all. For every theory, there is an anti-theory person, waiting to disagree for usually no good reason.
What person said it can't be hollow because it has gravity??? That is so entirely false that I can't understand why someone said it, and nobody debated it.
The Sun, which is made of gas, has the strongest gravitational pull in the solar system. Explain that?
It is completly possible that the moon is hollow. I see no reasons at all for it to not be.

If the Moon is hollow, then why does it have so much mass ?
Gravitational field strength has nothing whatsoever to do with what an object is made of.
sorta makes sense that it has the strongest gravitational pull.

who does not work for NASA and is simply quoted by their site. Unless you were joking and I missed that?

So you don't really know?
Until we get back to the moon and gather more info, than everything on this thread is speculative.

The Puzzle of Why the Moon "Rings" like a Hollow Sphere When a Large Object Hits It: During the Apollo Moon missions, ascent stages of lunar modules as well as the spent third stages of rockets crashed on the hard surface of the moon. Each time, these caused the moon, according to NASA, to "ring like a gong or a bell." On one of the Apollo 12 flights, reverberations lasted from nearly an hour to as much as four hours. NASA is reluctant to suggest that the moon may actually be hollow, but can otherwise not explain this strange fact.

NASA has reported that it "rings like a gong or a bell" when hit by spent rocket stages or landed upon by modules ~ reverberations of from one to four hours were picked up by Apollo 12.
Unless you were joking and I missed that?
So you don't really know?
Apply that same question to yourself.
Until we get back to the moon and gather more info, than everything on this thread is speculative.
First off, reasons the Spaceship Moon Theory would work
(quoted from the book)
1. It would explain why the moon gives evidence of being much older than the earth and perhaps even the solar system
2. It explains why there are distinct layers within the moon, with the most dense materials on the outside layer. This is exactly the type of "hull" one would expect to find a spacecraft.
3. This theory could explain why no sign of water has been found on the moon's surface, yet there is evidence it exists deep inside.
4. It would expalin the magnetism found in moon rock (that is too weak to pick up a paperclip on earth). These rocks were magnetized as the mooncraft passed by planets and suns on its journey through space.
5. The strange maria or moon seas, are explained as dumping pools for molten rock blasted from the moon's interior. The mascons--those dense masses located just below the center of each maria--may be remnants of the machinery used to hollow out the moon.
Also it goes on to talk about the moon being hollow. One of the most interesting points about this is, that when a few of the Apollo missions crash landed stuff on the moon (Apollo 13 dropped Stage 3 or osmethin like that), the entire moon vibrated like a bell or a gong for over 3 hours.
Also there are intriguing events such as
1. A "star" was seen within the body of a crescent moon "directly between the points of her horns" on March 5, 1587
2. A small white "cloud" was seen on the moon Nov.12, 1671 by French Astronomer Gian Domenico Cassini, director of the Paris Observatory
3. On April 24, 1882, moving shadows were seen in the moon's Aristotle area.
4. A "black cloud surrounded by violet color" ws see nin the Sea of Tranquility by Canadian astronomers on 9/11/67
And also there are formations that are on the surface that are too "perfect" to be non-artificial. And the moon's orbit around the earth is so close to being a perfect circle, it's unnaturall. And the moon is the perfect distance from the Earth to cover the entire sun during an eclipse(except for that one part with the rays). AND the formations are in the exact same positions on the moon as the pyramids of Egypt are on earth (there are also formations on Mars, including the Face of Mars, that are in the same exact position as the pyramids). So yeah, thats all i have so far, anyone have more info or insights to this? Just think about it, the Moon, a ufo!

On Earth, vibrations from quakes usually die away in only half a minute. The reason has to do with chemical weathering, Neal explains: "Water weakens stone, expanding the structure of different minerals. When energy propagates across such a compressible structure, it acts like a foam sponge—it deadens the vibrations." Even the biggest earthquakes stop shaking in less than 2 minutes. The moon, however, is dry, cool and mostly rigid, like a chunk of stone or iron. So moonquakes set it vibrating like a tuning fork. Even if a moonquake isn't intense, "it just keeps going and going," Neal says. And for a lunar habitat, that persistence could be more significant than a moonquake's magnitude.

Precisely, so there is no reason it can't be hollow with a very massive shell
Sorta? So you don't really know?
