RE: Interpretation of anomalous structures on the moon, based on evidence shown 
to me by Richard C. Hoagland on 24 April, 28 April, 7 May, and 11 May, 1994, 
and discussions of said evidence with Hoagland.

Areas of interest: Central area and southwestern area og Sinus Medii, center 
of moon disk; Mare Crisium, northwest area of moon disk.

DATA: All photographs at same scale.

Lunar Orbiter, February 1967

Original negative from National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC) at Goddard 
Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, MD: III-84M of "Shard" and "Tower" on 
southwest side of Sinus Medii from 30 miles altitude, taken by 3" camera 
objective (film developed on board satellite; scanned with 6.5 mu dot scanner;
images transmitted, reconstructed, and reassembled at NASA). Horizon at 256 
miles; "Shard" and "Tower" about 230 and 200 miles distance from camera, 
respectively; resolution of Shard and Tower calculated at about 70 and 60 
meters, respectively. Orientation of this photograph 45 degrees south of 
Apollo 10; photographs AS10-32-4854, AS10-32-4855, and AS10-32-4856.

Surveyor 6, November 1967

One of seven photographs published in NASA Technical Report 32-1262 (NAS7-
100), entitled: Surveyor 6 Mission Report, part III. television data; 
published by JPL at Cal. Tech., August 15, 1968. View angle of photograph west
from western part of Sinus Medii, showing refraction of intense light from Sun
(beads are image of photosphere) by surface material on horizon.

Apollo 10, May 1969

NASA catalog SP-232: AS10-32-4822, AS10-32-4854, AS10-32-4855, and AS10-32-4856
of Sinus Medii from 70 miles in orbit, taken by hand held Hasselblad camera. 
Photographs 4854-56 looking west at terminator (lunar surface sunrise line)
from above eastern side of Sinus Medii; photograph 4822 looking northeast
across Ukert crater in the most intensively photographed northern edge of 
Sinus Medii (this photograph intentionally blacked out on catalog).

The Lunar Orbiter photograph and the three sequential photographs AS10-32-
4854 - 56 taken from the Apollo spacecraft all show the "Tower" (and "Shard") 
in the southwestern area of Sinus Medii from different angles and different 
perspectives. The Surveyor 6 photograph shows anomalous geometric structures 
above the ground, like those associated with the tower extending north of the 
"Tower" for about a hundred miles. The censored Apollo 10 photograph near 
Ukert crater shows anomalous geometric structures extending on the ground 
extending for tens of miles over an area the size of the Los Angeles basin. 
All of these unnatural structures appear to have sustained varying degrees of 
damage from meteorite and micrometeorite impact. Small impact craters (1-2
miles), for example, exist within the anomalous area near Ukert, and clearly 
post-date the anomalies. Recognition of such damage is important in 
understanding and interpreting the nature and time sequence in the origin of 
these structures.

Apollo 16, June 1972

NASA photograph AS16-121-19438, looking northwest from above the eastern edge 
of Mare Crisium and across Mare Tranquilitatus form 70 miles altitude.

                                UKERT

        Ukert is a crater-like feature that displays a circumscribed 
equilateral triangle at full Moon (Noon local time) in its center. I agree 
with Hoagland's interpretation that this triangle is not natural, because the 
sides of the "crater" are much brighter only opposite the sides of this 
triangle. The apices or angles of the triangle intersect the darkest three 
areas of the "crater" rim, while the brightest three areas of the rim are 
opposite the sides of the triangle. In addition, the brightest parts of the 
rim are midway between the apices of the triangle, and are at 120 degrees 
orientation from one another. If a line is drawn from the centers of each 
bright area across the triangle to the opposing angle, the lines will exactly 
bisect each angle. Such regular geometry is not a natural feature of any 
terrain, either on Earth or on the Moon. Furthermore, the symbolism of an 
equilateral triangle within a circle is a two dimensional representation of a
tetrahedral pyramid within a sphere. Tetrahedral geometry is the primary 
message encoded in the geometry of the Cydonia complex on Mars (Hoagland, 
1992; McDaniel, 1993).

                              THE SHARD

        The Shard is an obvious structure which rises above the Moon's surface
by more than a mile. Its overall irregular spindly shape (containing a regular
geometric pattern) with constricted nodes and swollen internodes, if natural,
has got to be a wonder of the Universe. No known natural process can explain 
such a structure. Computer enhancement with about 190 feet (60 meters) 
resolution shows an irregular outline with more reflective and less reflective 
surfaces. The amount of sunlight reflecting from parts of the Shard indicates 
a composition inconsistent with that of most natural substances. Only crystal 
facets and glass can reflect that much light (polished metallic surfaces are 
unnatural). Single crystals the size of city blocks are currently unknown. I 
concur with Hoagland that the Shard may be a highly eroded remnant of some 
sort of artificial structure made of glass-like material. Other larger 
structures and their reflectivity in the area support this theory.

                              THE TOWER

        The Tower represents an enigma of the highest magnitude because it 
rises more than five miles above the surface of the Moon, and has been 
photographed from five different angles and two different altitudes (from 30 
miles altitude, and from 70 miles altitude at three different distances). In 
all four photographs the same structure is visible and can be viewed from two 
different sides. The Tower exists in front of and to the left of the Shard in 
the Lunar Orbiter III-84M photograph. The distance from the Tower and the 
camera is estimated at about 200 miles, while the distance of the Shard beyond 
the Tower is estimated at about 230 miles. The top of the Tower has a very 
ordered cubic geometry, and appears to be composed of regular cubes (similar 
in size) joined together to form a very large cube with an estimated width of 
over one mile! There is apparent damage to the outline and surface of this 
megacube, because many cubic spaces or indentations occur over its surface 
(these spaces are 50 to 60 times larger than pixel size, and their shapes are 
not controlled by the rectangular shape of the pixel). A narrow columnar 
structure connects this cube with the surface of the Moon. The columnar 
support is at least three miles tall, and tapers towards its base. The taper 
may be in part due to perspective, if the Tower is oriented at an angle and is 
leaning towards the camera. The leaning Tower may be part of a larger more 
transparent structure, which is also inclined.

        Surrounding the Tower are faint indications of additional light-
reflecting material. The amount of light coming from this material is very 
small compared with the amount of light reflected off the lunar surface. In 
order to make it visible, the surface of the Moon has to be over-exposed on 
the photograph. The pattern that becomes visible above the moon's surface is 
not caused by the scan lines that make up the Lunar Orbiter photography. The 
scan lines can be seen clearly, and are oriented at different angles from the 
orientation of patterns in the sky. The regular cubic and/or rectangular 
nature of this pattern, and indications of radiating structures that connect 
the Tower with the surface indicate that material of low light reflectivity 
exists above the Moon's surface over a large area measured in hundreds of 
miles. The irregular splotchy reflection from some of this aerial material may 
be due to meteorite and projectile damage over millions of years. Its highly 
transparent nature (bright stars can be seen behind and through this material)
indicates either an open grid with cubic spaces or glass-like material held 
together by some sort of structural grid or a combination of both. Other 
photographs described below confirm the size and extent of this grid-like 
construction.

                             THE SKY GRID

        The Surveyor 6 photograph of the Sun's corona at the horizon 
(Photograph published in NASA Technical Report 32-1262) is a view just to the 
north of the Tower (less than 100 miles). Total image was recorded in primary 
data, and variations in image reproduction are due to processing differences.
Two major anomalies are apparent in this photograph: 1) sunlight at the 
surface of the Moon is refracted towards the camera and appears as elongate 
beads of bright light on top of the horizon (JPL measurements indicate light 
saturation for the camera was reached in these beads); 2) a regular cubic 
pattern of horizontal benches appears above the surface, and extends nearly as 
high as the view in the photograph to an altitude of several miles. Due to the 
angle of incidence of backlit sunlight from the Sun, which was located below 
the horizon, the visibility of the pattern above the surface decreases with 
increasing angular reflection from the center of the Sun. This means that 
whatever was causing the reflection and refraction above the Moon's surface is 
geometrically dependent on the Sun's position below the Moon's horizon, and is 
therefore not likely an artifact of imaging, reproduction, or processing. Six 
additional pictures of this horizon were taken within 90 minutes, and if 
available (obtainable) will provide additional data for further analysis.

        The bright beads of light on the surface decrease or become non-
continuous laterally along the horizon. This anomalous beading was explained 
by NASA as diffraction by fine dust suspended above the surface. No such 
suspended dust was found by the Apollo astronauts, and an alternative 
hypothesis is warranted. I agree with Hoagland's interpretation that:
a) the light is refraction, and b) the intense concentration of light is 
likely caused by glass imaging the Sun from beyond the horizon. It is unlikely 
that the material causing this phenomenon is natural dust or glass tectites on 
the surface, which are largely opaque to only partly transparent. The glass 
refracting the light has to be nearly transparent to transmit so much light to 
such a height above the surface, particularly if the refracting material has 
any depth to it. It may represent the basal more intact part of a 
superstructure that is apparent above the surface. Because of less damage, and 
more massive glass support structures at the base (visible in some photographs
as a hierarchy of stacked glass arches, each with expanded bases), more light 
is conducted and focussed there as a series of glass lenses. Simple reflection 
can be ruled out as an explanation for the beads because of the position of 
the Sun below the horizon.

        The three Apollo 10 photographs showing the Tower in the distance also 
show the grid structure from above. These photographs were taken at three 
different distances from the Tower as the Apollo spacecraft moved towards the 
Tower. Within the sky above the horizon and around the Tower a regular grid 
pattern emerges with proper contrast control. This grid pattern appears to be
three-dimensional, and is expressed as dark lines with random points of 
reflection around those lines. The grid appears to be some sort of support 
structure, perhaps formed from a metallic rebar. The reflective material 
associated with it is cubic and hexagonal in design, but incomplete. With 
different attitudes or angles of sight, different areas of the grid structure 
become illuminated or reflective, implying that angle of incidence is 
important. I agree with Hoagland's interpretation of this material as remnant 
portions of the glass structure, which still remains attached and suspended 
above the Moon's surface on a metallic cross support structure. The Tower, by 
contrast, is visible in all three photographs, because there is much more 
glass remaining than on the suspended grid structure around the Tower. Even 
from different angles and distances in these photographs, the top of the Tower 
appears as a giant cube made up of smaller cubic and hexagonal objects.

        There is no way to get around this evidence once it becomes apparent.
Altering the contrast of the Moon's surface can make this faint structure 
disappear, but such photographic manipulation (of NASA catalogs) will not 
invalidate it. The evidence that Hoagland has brought to light may assail 
one's sensibilities because of its magnitude and artificial implication, but 
it cannot be dismissed or ignored. It is there and it must be explained.

                        THE CITY COMPLEX NEAR UKERT

        Photograph AS10-32-4822 in NASA catalog SP-232 is blacked out, along 
with several other photographs. When it was ordered, the image was of high 
quality, contrary to what was implied by it being blacked out in the catalog. 
Instead of a poor photograph, the image shows features near Ukert crater that 
defy conventional explanation. A linear dome-shaped hill runs diagonally 
across the photograph. To the north of that hill a large area exists with 
regularly aligned rows of structure. Within this anomalous area more than a 
dozen small craters can be seen that modify the landscape. From a distance 
the regular rows appear like benches. On Earth such a feature would be 
interpreted as the pattern produced by the eroded edges of layered rocks that 
dip below the surface. But on the Moon there have been no physical processes 
that can account for such a regular geologic structure. Furthermore, rills and 
wrinkles on the surface of a cooling magma outflow do not form such a regular 
pattern, as is evident in so many mare on the Moon. And this anomalous pattern 
has definite boundaries beyond which it is absent. 

        Upon magnification, this anomalous pattern begins to take on a 
different character: Rectangular features exist along the rows, with many 
having gaps between them. In addition, thin spires project up from the surface 
in several places along some rows. Upon further magnification some of the 
rectangular structures take on a form like buildings and skyscrapers. 
Resolution at high magnification (for the image I saw) is not good enough to 
resolve more than the outlines of possible buildings. The whole area resembles 
what one might expect for a city the size of Los Angeles that had been 
abandoned and left to decay for centuries. The crater impacts and constant 
barrage from micrometeorites over millions of years would have provided an 
abrasive force as damaging as our weather and earthquakes on Earth over 
centuries or even decades.

        I agree with Hoagland that someone or some group within NASA 
deliberately concealed this picture in the catalog because of its content, and 
that this area may contain one of several city complexes that were built under 
an enormous glass dome within Sinus Medi. The sheer implications of such 
massive structures on the Moon, if verified by an open and honest visit by 
astronauts to the Moon, would cause man to rethink many ideas and question 
many beliefs about other intelligent life in the Universe. Clearly, such 
structures are well beyond our current technologies, and rank with the 
Pyramids and Sphinx on Earth, and with the Cydonia complex and its humanoid 
face on Mars, as major mysteries of our Solar System.

                        THE DOME OVER MARE CRISIUM

        Further evidence for such massive constructs on the Moon can be found 
in Mare Crisium. The photograph that Hoagland showed me of that area (NASA 
photograph 1) has a strange set of large, concentric, circular light 
patterns within the mare. To one side an enormous spire or tower rises from 
the surface within the perimeter of these light circles. Magnification of the
area around this spire shows cubic patterns like those around the Tower in 
Sinus Medii. Numerous holes of various size can be detected within this cubic 
pattern, probably caused by meteorites. Around the edges of these holes I can 
see layers of light-reflecting cubic glass-like material and suggestions of 
strands of rebar support. Below this cover on the ground there is more 
structure, which can be detected under some of the larger holes. There is an 
unusual interference pattern below the cubic pattern as well. None of these 
patterns can be explained as normal or natural. I interpret the major cubic 
pattern as reflections off rebar and micrometeorite-frosted glass of the dome 
that covers most of Mare Crisium. I interpret the pattern below the dome as 
possibly caused by artificial structures on the surface of the Moon, such as 
the city-like construct near Ukert, and the concentric circles of light over 
the surface of Mare Crisium as light reflection and refraction through the 
remaining portions of the glass dome.  

        I support Hoagland's interpretation that the anomalous patterns in 
photographs from Sinus Medii and Mare Crisium cannot be explained as natural. 
I further support his interpretation that these patterns above the surface are 
caused by enormous structures of artificial origin, structures that may 
represent the remains of glass domes that were built to cover, protect, and 
provide a life-support environment for habitable structures on the surface.

        Clearly, further independent investigation and analysis by experts is 
warranted. There is also a relevant need to press the Pentagon into releasing
all 1.5 million Clementine photographs immediately and without censorship.
