How YOU Could Find Aliens on the Moon
According to the Huffington Post, Physicists Paul Davies and Robert Wagner of Arizona State University are looking for volunteers to help them look for signs of an alien visit to the Moon.
Since 2009 the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter has apparently taken over 340,000 photos of the lunar surface.
In a science paper published by these physicians in Acta Astronautica, an on line journal, they say that it would be impossible for any one team to scrutinize all these photos in detail.
The volunteers would be required to patiently study each photo for signs that aliens may have once been on the Moon’s surface. These signs could include left over artifacts, signs of mining or even tracks left on the surface.
Although they admit that the chances of finding something are very low, they maintain that if the costs of the research are kept low, then where is the harm in looking.
The logic behind this research is that scientists believe that if aliens have visited our Solar System, then it was probably some time in our ancient past.
If this were the case then any evidence that may have been left behind perhaps thousands of years ago, would have certainly disappeared from the surface of any of the planets in our system.
The Moon however is different.
Because of the atmospheric conditions on the Moon any evidence, such as scrapes in the sand, could remain intact, undisturbed for millions of years, therefore still be visible today.
- Do Snakes Prove Ancient Aliens?
Some of the ancient Sumerian stories seem unbelievable. What if they were true?
Although I believe that aliens may have visited us at some time, even if it was in our past, I am not so certain as to whether this research would be a waste of time or not.
In general terms, I think their logic is sound and is a good suggestion. My concerns however are caused by other sources.
Firstly I suspect that something will happen to stop this research from taking place.
Many people think that authorities have already found evidence of alien visitors to the Moon and Mars, if not Earth. If this is the case then these authorities, for their own reasons, have kept this information secret. Therefore they would not appreciate someone else “letting the cat out of the bag”. So, if this research were allowed to be continued, I suspect that the same authorities would take over the project to ensure that they had control of the results.
Secondly, I believe that if the research was allowed to continue, anything found would be discredited by the authorities, who could easily claim tampering as the photos were not kept in a controlled area or under strict computer security.
Personally, I am more optimistic than the physicians that something would be found. It is just that I do not believe that the world would be allowed to be privy to anything that was found.
Call me a skeptic but to me, considering the millions of dollars that are spent on these probes, we, the public, get to hear very little about what they actually find. The authorities through the media just seem to hype us up at the fact that the mission was a success and allow this hype to distract us from what the mission’s actual goals were.
- Proof of Alien Existence by 2026
The senior scientist at SETI makes a wager that proof of aliens existence will happen by 2026. How can he be so confident?
- Alien Life in Our Solar System
With so many whistle blowers speaking up about NASA, could they all be lying?
- Are Humans the Result of Alien Colonization?
Some scientists believe that colonization of space has already happened. Does this mean that we have been colonized? If so then what happened to the colonizers?
- Have We Been Visited by Aliens.
There are many stories of aliens visiting our ancient ancestors. This highlights a couple of them that although they are so well known, are perhaps a little more believable.
