More Moon Anomalies

No I haven't found another "washing machine" however:

When I was looking through the image banks from the apollo 16 mission I came across this from EVA-3:

Another image with them in:



Quite a few odd looking things in the image. If they are rocks then they are very rare shapes. Could just be my eyes so im not going to point them out just yet unless you guys are struggling to find what im talking about.

Oleg,

I've seen plenty of rocks in the mountains that look similar to these. Nothing to write home about, really.

I too have seen alot of odd shaped rocks and mountains, however I havent seen many on the moon.

Agreed. That big rock has kind of a straight edge on it, but not perfectly straight by any means, and the other edges aren't very straight. Other than that, if you're going to turn this into one of those "let's see what we can describe those rocks kind of look like" threads, I think you can come up with a better image to do it with.

Otherwise, I see rabbits, skulls, a creepy gnome, Jesus, C3PO, and a busted transmission from a Ford F150 pickup. Did I miss anything?

Hi.

I have seen these images before and if i remember correctly,the main talking point about them is the circular shaped "rock" sticking out of the ground in the middle of the rubble pile.

Interesting images.

Well, I zoomed in and I still see something that no one else does- footprints or paw prints. Anybody else see them?

Well, well well, imagine my surprise at seeing these
images!
These things are rocks... nothing more.
If I was you, I'd take this posting and get your rocks
off... any way you can.

As Tom Hanks said in Apollo 13, " I've come here to
chew bubble-gum and to kick Bacon... I have a brother?"

Yeah your funny ... anyway I didn't say they weren't rocks I stated they were odd to find on the moon. Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion on any topic on ATS. However comments like this shows nothing but immaturity.

You know Rich, the first thing I noticed about these photos is the wierd streak along the sides.


Looks to me like bug guts! It also looks like it's got color against a black/white landscape. Looks brownish to me.

Seriously though, what is that on the camera lens? This is from Apollo 16, so there were humans there, but I'm not finding it feasible that one of them removed his helmet for a second to spit on the lens and wipe it off! LOL

Is there that much moisture on the moon just floating around that moondust would clump to the lens like that?

These were discussed before, maybe on the "John Lear Moon pictures" thread.

Zorgon was (as usual) one of the most active participants, and I think it was he who brought the photos to the thread at that time.

I don't think it's on the lens, but rather on the photo the image was scanned from. Apparently NASA's been leaving their old lunar images out in the garage again for the possums to poop on.

Otherwise, upon reviewing the images again, I think I see a bird flying sideways in one of those images. It's a bird!

I see rocks and boulders but how did they get there in the first place? I don't think they are meteors/asteroids because they seem to have the same color as the surface of the moon, in other words light gray.

Seems like moon material from minning operations but I could be wrong.

Hey there Nohup!

That's entirely possible! NASA did recently lose a bunch of originals didn't they? Spilling coffee on some isn't outside the realm of possibility either. Man we need a new space exploration department.

By the by, your on a roll today! I hope everyone understands your sense of humor, because in relation to that other thread your comment was hilarious, and I hope people read your joke in context.

Just to let you know though, Oleg/Rich is the real deal, and participates heavily in serious examination of some of these threads. I'm sure he must have seen something in this image or he wouldn't have posted it.

He did point out that he wasn't going to refer to the specific object so that others would not be swayed by any 'labeling' of the photo.

I don't see it, just the gunk caught my attention, but from my experience Rich is the sort of guy that has an open mind about an issue. And he always checks out the 'practical' explanations first.

I respect both his views and yours, and just wanted you to know

-WFA


"It's a bird!" -Nohup... I'll be laughing at that all day long!

Why mining operations?

I know that on the Moon there is no wind or rain to erode the rocks, but a meteor impact is strong enough to break rocks.

True. That is not out of the question either but I remember reading about a company taking up minning operations on the moon. The name escapes me at this time but if I find it you can bet I will post it.

Thank goodness there aren't any rounded ones otherwise then we'd be discussing the action of water on rocks.

Various rock types on the moon are known to be crystaline and crystals have shear planes which create sharp edges. It's by splitting diamonds along shear planes that we get faceted cut diamonds.

What cuts these rocks along those lines...?

Pretty simple. Meteor impacts of which there is evidence you can see just by looking at the moon's craters. It's just evidence of impact debris.

No big deal... No conspiracy.

Oh, sure! Lots of companies have been mining on the moon. It's so efficient. Way more efficient than mining for the same stuff down here.

I guess the only real problem they have getting all that freaking rock off of the moon and safely transported back to Earth, huh? I wonder how they do that?

I propose an alternate explanation: they're rocks. Get over it. We're not mining on the moon. We're not mining on Mars. Regrettably, we're mostly stuck here on Earth.

Just for fun here's a theory. I noted that the shadows on the rocks are not the same as the shadows on smaller rocks and landscapes.

Most graphic programs comes with what is known as a "paintbrush" that plops a given Object, like a series of rocks, over the image.

Done well, this would be far easier then smugging out objects of intrests like alien creatures or buildings. Rather then try to smudge out those pesky little topsecrets they could quickly drop an image right over them.

Those photos were not digital, originally, and there are copies of the original images.

The images we see on sites like "The Project Apollo Archive" are scans of those copies.

And yes, it is possible to change a photo, both in the negative or in the printed photo.

My guess is they are just micro-meteor impacts!

Anyone else?
