This thread's topic is very specific: It's a question about a picture of a specific area of the moon, and the source of said picture. The overall topic of this thread is NOT to prove whether or not alien bases, human bases actually exist on the entire moon.
Again: THIS thread is about a SPECIFIC place on the moon. Not the ENTIRE moon.
Nor is this thread for trying to prove the existence of aliens anywhere.
My opinion is that this is sound advice for anyone interested...

Come on people! If you call yourself an expert and say you have been doing this for many years, be prepared to back up your claims with detailed evidence.
As far as I can tell, the OP did not do a single one of the following:
1) Compare the image with original source material.
2) Understand the technology used to produce the images you are looking at, including digital compression.
3) Provide details of the size of the object.
4) Do analysis, such as constructing a 3D model.
5) Obtain data from an alternative source.
6) Hesitate to jump to conclusions.
Once again, we are asked to believe a story based on pixelated data below the limits of resolution after image compression from a source not designed for scientific analysis. This just gets tired.
Here is a simple guide to doing research:
* Understand and check your data sources (scale, resolution, errors, format, limitations, provenance, reliability, repeatability all being understood)
* Make very conservative guesses and rule out only those that you can be absolutely sure are not correct
* Find a way to independently confirm your analysis/findings and present it for scrutiny by other experts
* Assume that you have made an error and actively look for it
* Make sure you respect the laws of evidence -- extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence
The biggest problems on ATS are inability to distinguish conjecture from evidence, to discern reliable sources of information from unreliable sources and a lack of understanding about science.

Why insert garbage into a perfectly good thread?

So it's a resolution anomaly, it does funny things to square pixels imaging organic nature. I could have told you on page one it is a terrain map and the photographic resolution is 10-meters/pixel, LRO has imaged under .5 meters per pixel recently as it has lowered its orbital ellipse. But even at that one has to consider the speed that the camera is traversing the ground, motion distortion is impossible to fully get rid of, its why several passes are merged together and final images take a while to go public. Still, 25 km high at nearly 6,000 mph the ground at one meter is going to give you hundredths of a second to image it, and crap does happen.
