From my personal experience, having served two gov'ts in a military/intelligence capacity over the last 20 years I can tell you with hand on heart that i have been asked to cover up, modify, deny and even lie under oath in order to protect the common folk from knowing the 'truth' about a whole range of national and regional security issues..among which Et's/UFO's and other sundry subjects.
As far as truth being stranger than fiction well...The 'hollow moon' is just the tip of the iceberg..

I agree that it is stupid to try to find ice on Mercury, it's just hot for it to exist. That's about all that I agree with.
How can ice survive on Mercury?
As mentioned above, all provinces on Mercury are exposed to the Sun for almost 90 earth-days at a time, and can reach temperatures over 700 K. Additionally, Mercury has no ambient atmosphere and very low gravity. Water ice on the surface of Mercury is exposed directly to vacuum, and will rapidly sublime and escape into space unless it is kept cold at all times. This implies that the ice can never be exposed to direct sunlight. The only locations on the surface of Mercury where this is possible would seem to be near the poles, where the floors of some craters might be deep enough to afford permanent shading. Whether such permanently shadowed craters exist on Mercury is still problematic. The only close-up images we have of Mercury were taken by the Mariner 10 spacecraft on three close passes in 1974 and 1975. The same hemisphere of Mercury was sunlit on each of these passes, so nearly half the planet has never been imaged, and no determination can be made of what polar areas, if any, are permanently shadowed. However, theoretical studies assuming typical crater dimensions show that craters near the poles should have areas which never rise above about 102 K (4) and that even flat surfaces at the poles would not exceed about 167 K (5). Other studies (6-7) also indicate that water ice in polar craters on Mercury could be stable over the age of the solar system.

It's very frustarting when a newbie comes in and says they have great amts of secret info, that they have come across in their life thru their occupation or whatever, then does not let that info out. No offense, but it just sounds like such BULL! If you have something interesting to say, which is implied by your "tip of the iceburg" comment, then by all means spill the beans. Don't tell me you are worried about the gov't coming after you for passing the sensetive info on cause that is a weak excuse. No one is going to get you for revealing your secrets. Trust me, people make claims to some pretty fantastic stories and experiences from their lives here all the time, so whatever dish you have, I promise it will be nothing we can't handle.
Sorry for blasting away here, but this is the one thing that really gets to me. Telling me you know something, but not telling me what that is only tells me you know nothing.

I am not underestimating your intregrity, intellegence, or authenticity. But, do you realize how many people pop in and give a bunch of phonie credentials to look impressive, only to be exposed as a fraud here? It happens all the time, and I am not afraid to call out you or anyone when I feel like it's about to happen again. I admit, I may have jumped the gun and could have goven you a bit more time to authenticate your claims, but I am just tired of people not being held to their claims.
Now, on a side note, I am definitely a beleiver (relatively new to the whole game, which is why I am so reluctant to accept anything that comes from someone who claims to be something of an expert till I've disected them to peices) so I am not one who needs convincing of the existence of EB's. I have just seen too many people rant on about how much they know, only tp be exposed as a fraud, or end up exposing themselves. Not long ago, we had John Lear (who is a registered member of this site) conduct an interview with ATS to answer alot of the questions about his claims regarding ufo's and the gov't coverup. After that interview, he publicly stated that he was a fraud and made up his claims.
Trust me, much of me wants to beleive what you and alot of other people say, because it just backs up what I feel to be true inside of me. I do not have a gov't job, I do not know people on the "inside". I only have the resources avaible to me in the library and on the net, which are 99% BS to begin with. So, I take it seriously when someone has seemingly authentic sounding advise and knowledge, but I don't take it as gospel. I do however, look forward to your posts in the future though. I repsect the fact that you called me out for calling you out
