Yes yes I know its a fuzzy picture... Well that would be the point... because the "fuzzyness" is caused by the cloud cover... forget the fuzziness for just a minute... the craters in the previous picture are OBSCURED... And THAT is the point.. you cannot SEE them because they are covered by cloud.

The illusion of clouds is enhanced by the fact that the picture appears to have been taken with black and white film. The film exaggerates the "Shadow Effect" in the picture. As for the fuzziness, this is an old picture.
See if you can find youself a high-resolution color image of the moon's surface, and you will see that what appear to be clouds are really nothing of the sort!

Whoa hold up. Is that one of the claims, that there are clouds on the moon??... Please tell me its not, seriously lol.

Moon Mystery Emerges From The X-files by Charles Seife
Lunar South Polar as imaged by Clementine Pasadena - October 21, 1999 - Reports of curious flashes and fleeting clouds on the Moon may not be figments of wild imaginations, astronomers say. A new look at observations by the American satellite Clementine show that a small area on the Moon's surface darkened and reddened in April 1994. Why this happened remains a mystery.
For hundreds of years, people have reported seeing flashes, short-lived clouds and other brief changes on the Moon's surface. But astronomers have never been able to confirm the sightings. "The events were observed on many occasions, but most astronomers don't believe in them," says Bonnie Buratti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

The electric universe theory explains alot, and i urge anyone interested to look it up.

Its a paradox zorgon.....that photo is so bad, it obscures itself.

Still awaiting my "Americans Only" tour ( for those I am sure are monitoring) and BTW, lunch at base camp was awesome, hoping to be invited again next year.

This argument about cloud cover and obscured craters - seems to me it's very unlikley that you would get cloud cover - and therefore presumably a significant atmosphere - AND craters. Surely having a substantial atmosphere would mean fewer asteroid impacts - and fewer scars on the surface. That's before you've even taken into consideration what an atmosphere would do to weather and erode any impact sites.
I just don't think you can have both. And I'm pretty convinced, based on what I've seen with my own eyes that there are definitely craters. So until someone can explain away those craters, I don't know how to accept any of the theories about atmosphere or much else on the surface.
Note I write "I don't know how to" - I'm not being disrespectful to anyone's point of view - presumably based on other testimony or knowledge that they have that I don't, and which they trust. I suspect, from what I've read of John Lear's postings on these boards, that he would understand the difference between inability to accept and contempt for another point of view.
Doesn't mean he's right though

... I don't know. But I go on reading, because the bottom line is I really want JL to be right and me to be wrong, but more than that I want to see the evidence for it.

I don't agree with everything that John Lear espouses - like the soul tower on the moon idea - which he may no longer accept.
Thanks for the post Paul_Richard. I'm not sure where you got that idea but I am firmly convinced that the 6 mile high tower that sits in the Sinus Medii, very near Mosting A transmits and receives souls to and from earth. Now whether or not ALL souls get transmitted or sent from there I don't know. But some of them do.

...I believe the moon is without atmosphere, and those craters are caused by impacts.
Now, I'm not narrow-minded enough to refuse to accept that nothing I think I know might well be false - you'll see I use the word "purport" heavily in what I write above. But to accept such a radically different version of events, I would require far more evidence than hypothesis, conjecture and grainy photographs of what really could be anything (though I accept my mental limits may not allow me to see what's really there, if that helps) can provide.
The original post asks if John Lear is spreading disinfo. My personal feeling is that JL doesn't take his opponents on here too seriously, he's not waging a "Thou Shalt Believe" campaign, he's simply saying what he thinks is true.
I can't believe that people get so worked up and upset when trying to argue against his theories. All I'm saying is that there are limits to what I can accept - whether through personal weakness or ignorance, or because I'm actually right - I don't know. But I go on reading, because the bottom line is I really want JL to be right and me to be wrong, but more than that I want to see the evidence for it.
