I Have Moved! Join Me at New Location: wecameinpeace.net

Please be aware that I have moved my base of operations to a new host and domain. Therefore this blog will be archived with no further content to be added. Please visit my new site at : www.wecameinpeace.net

The new site will cover the same topic as Hunting Moon Rabbit, which is examination of lunar data collected over the years to see if there is any evidence of artificiality on the Moon. The entire project was inspired by the scientific journal article from Professor Paul Davies discussing potential evidence of artificiality on the Moon. I would absolutely call the project a success if it did no more than help a few inquisitive people see the Moon in a different light. Maybe inspire a soul or two in the process.

No sane person wouldn't question the audacity of searching the Moon for evidence of intelligent extraterrestrial life and that may be due to the paradigm shifting implication of such discovery for one. It may also have something to do with the official narrative which has done a good job of manufacturing American public's perception that Moon is nothing but a big uninteresting piece of rock not worth Apollo 18, 19, 20's money.


I will close the final post of Hunting Moon Rabbit with an excerpt from Prof. Paul Davies' Searching for alien artifacts on the moon article. Hope to see you at the new site


The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) has a low probability of success, but it would have a high impact if successful. Therefore it makes sense to widen the search as much as possible within the confines of the modest budget and limited resources currently available. To date, SETI has been dominated by the paradigm of seeking deliberately beamed radio messages. However, indirect evidence for extraterrestrial intelligence could come from any incontrovertible signatures of non-human technology. Existing searchable databases from astronomy, biology, earth and planetary sciences all offer low-cost opportunities to seek a footprint of extraterrestrial technology. In this paper we take as a case study one particular new and rapidly-expanding database: the photographic mapping of the Moon’s surface by the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) to 0.5 m resolution. Although there is only a tiny probability that alien technology would have left traces on the moon in the form of an artifact or surface modification of lunar features, this location has the virtue of being close, and of preserving traces for an immense duration.

Be safe and stay strong.

40m Tall Metallic Object in Triangular Depression on the Moon

A peculiar depression in the shape of triangle is investigated using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera images, particularly Narrow Angle Camera data. A highly reflective object casting a long shadow is identified. Finally, the height of this object is calculated to best possible accuracy using all available data. The object is found be about 40.8 meters tall.

General Location : Farside, North
Major Crater in Vicinity: Coulomb
Exact coordinate of the object: Latitude: 57.534 degrees, Longitude: -112.752 degrees

On the right is the image showing the coverage of narrow angle camera strip where highly-reflective tower or antenna-like object was found. If you click on the NAC link in the caption, you will notice the image is mirrored. The image must be horizontally flipped to match the correct perspective. The tower/antenna-like object is located about 1500m SE of the crater in middle of the triangle.

Next image is the close up of the NAC image strip containing the object. The image has been horizontally flipped to correct the mirrored perspective. The tower/antenna-like object and its shadow are labelled, along with other relevant information.

The resolution of image is 0.873m per pixel.
The length of the object's shadow is 263 pixels.

The formula for calculating Height from Shadow Length is:

Height = Shadow_Length * Tan(Solar_Altitude + Slope)

Variable of Slope in above formula accounts for longer/shorter shadow that will be cast if the object was sitting on a negative/positive slope. That is, object sitting on downhill slope will cast longer shadow than object sitting on level ground.

So..

Shadow_Length = 263 pixels * 0.873m/pixel = 229.6 meters
Solar_Altitude = 90 degrees - Incidence_angle = 17.65 degrees
Slope = 80m / 600m * 100% = 13.3% = -7.58 degrees (negative since downhill slope)

How Slope was Calculated

Finally...

 Height = 229.6m * Tan(17.65 - 7.58)
 Height = 229.6m * 0.1776

 Height = 40.777 meters


Length and Width of the object are measured to be about 6.4m by 8.5m. It's extremely unlikely that a naturally formed single 40m tall and straight pencil-shaped boulder of recent origin would be found on a hillside, stuck exactly perpendicular to the sky, in a basin aged to be around 3.5 billions years old. The alternative explanation from artificial origin theory argues that the object is so unlikely to have naturally formed that it may more likely be an artificial construct. Its function is not clear to us but we might build such object to function as communications antenna or navigational beacon.

The other semi-interesting point is that this object is sitting on a spot that is exactly zero elevation on the moon. Not sure what significance this would have but interesting nonetheless.

Eschew Obfuscation

Eschew obfuscation. What a beautiful concept. Apparently, NASA agrees. The irony and all.

Searching for Alien Artifacts on the Moon

Before we begin looking at the lunar surface, here is a scientific paper I recommend as essential reading if you would like an introduction to what this blog is about.
