"What NASA did not tell the American people is that it discovered the remains of an ancient lunar civilization, and to this day, that data and those artifacts have been withheld from the American people," claims Richard C. Hoagland, founder of The Enterprise Mission
"The orbital photographs show us the scale of ancient ruins on the moon. And surface photography by the astronauts have shown remarkable, specific examples of anomalies that could only be explained through there being ancient remnants of some extraordinarily advanced technology,"
I've considered Hoagland to be a fringe pseudoscientist, not really worth debunking. Sometimes, claims are so silly that they aren't worth bothering. But things have changed recently. Hoagland has been given lots of airtime on the late-night "Coast to Coast AMradio show, which has millions of listeners. His most recent antics involve the new Mars missions. He is claiming that, among other things, NASA is covering up evidence of alien life on Mars. He says the evidence is in the images returned from Mars by the probes, and the "real" data are being hidden from view.
These claims, like most conspiracy claims, are silly, internally inconsistent, and pretty easy to show wrong. So you might think no one pays any attention to him, right?
If only. He is actually rather notorious in the pseudoscience community. And remember, "Coast to Coast" has an audience of 10 million people. If even a tiny fraction believes in his nuttiness, that still adds up with such a large pool of listeners!
Now, I have been on the C2C show several times myself (once to actually debunk one of Hoagland's ridiculous claims), and I am of the opinion that most of the audience listens to the usual crackpots on the program with their tongues firmly planted in their cheeks. But with so many listeners, it's inevitable that many will take Hoagland seriously.
Keep in mind glass is also much stronger in the vacuums of space than on earth so it wouldn't surprise me to see structures of glass.

I looked him up but I must have missed something. What exactly is his claim to fame?
I saw the remote viewing, the Saturn trip. But, all remote viewing. No concret evidence.
Am I missing somehthing that you were trying to hightlight?

I've always believed there are ruins up there and I also believe humans built them. That means we have to ask serious questions about our past and history would have to be rewritten. I believe humans have been around MUCH longer than the ancient Sumerians and I think time has wiped away all evidence our past technologies. In regards to the moon ruins, I also believe believe there is an alien connection. What would happen if a series a great catastrophes wiped out most human life today and even evidence of our modern day civilization? If a few tribes in the Amazon jungles survived, it would be like man kind starting all over again. Then in about another 10,000 years man would reach our level of technology today and eventually go to the moon again only to discover our American flag and rovers from the 1969 landing. They'll wonder how the heck did that stuff get up there and probably keep that information from the population. Because the moon doesn't go through changes like on earth and there is no oxygen on the surface, things can be up there in near perfect condition for millions of years.
