Lol, that's not allowed on this board. NASA photos are the absolute truth 'round these parts, everyone knows that. I mean after all, NASA/gov has nothing to hide right? They'd never retouch a photo, they probably wouldn't even know how... How's that for sarcasm

It would more likely be alien imho for several reasons...
1. the military isn't run by the brightest people, just the big-headed.
2. I doubt we can build mile high ... "things" in total secrecy (good on the military jocks if they have)
3. someone would leak something about all the stuff that's had to go up there (a lot of stuff has been leaked about UFOs etc, but nothing really about space programs (unless you got a juicy link for us)).
4. I just think it's more likely that a non-earth being has been observing us for millenia from the back of a very unusual satellite than it is for a NASA general to build a base up there - and then you gotta ask why woud they do that?The alien has more reason to build one. What are we gonna do? Planet hop? I doubt that.
I guess it all depends on the reverse engineering idea - which I think is bunk. I don't have any trouble believing in non-human entities and suspect that they have been a) at least watching us or at worst b) breeding and farming us

Considering the original image this video was made from is 45 years old, and considering the person in the video is trying to fool us by saying it is a new image from the Chinese spacecraft, I think the image in the OP is probably a hoax.

The question we should really be asking is if true and structures on the moon do transpire to be artificially made, then why have the American's, Russian's and even Chinese kept this from us for so long? What don't they want us to know other than disclosure? What is on the moon that they are so concerned about?

China will be releasing Hi Res images taken by the Chang'e-2 moon orbiter, which clearly show buildings and structures on the moons surface. Is this proof NASA is lieing?
Lots of reasons why TPTB would not want it revealed.

There are SO MANY alternative media outlets. nowadays....the so-called "PTB" do NOT have 'control' any more....
Just think......the "PTB" is a distraction.....think outside that box, please!!!
And, no.....there are no "alien bases" on the Moon....more distractions.....just THINK!!!

Just curious as to how you explain all the Ph'd's in the military, particularly the officer corp. Almost everyone above the rank of major has a master's (it's practically an unwritten requirement). Most senior NCOs (you know the plain ole' enlisted guys) have bachelor's these days. Or how you explain that the Air Force Academy's basic curriculum is a hard science/engineering program, one of the toughest in the country....even if you "major" in a non science program?
Here is the homepage, you can cruise through the academics and see if you could hack it.

I am not saying we (or Aliens) have anything up there. But to say our military is full of "not the brightest people" is sheer ignorance. If the military wanted to put a base up there, given the funding, it could. Secretly, possible, but less probable.
Hell, had Apollo not been cancelled they were already looking at extended stay missions and possible long term out posts. Probably should have stuck with Apollo instead of going to the shuttle.

Venus fly bys, larger stations, expansion of moon missions. All planned and developed to a degree. And all but one of the Apollo Astronauts were those "dumb" military men................edit on 20-2-2012 by SrWingCommander because: grammer
