Here is a more in depth look at moon anomalies. These are all NASA photos though, so who knows if they have been tampered with.
SkepticalEd: "Nobody knows if NASA really tampers with lunar photos (Mars is another topic) because all that has happened so far is that so and so said that NASA airbrushes lunar photos to remove UFOs, artifacts, etc., but NO ONE has ever shown a before and after photo proving the claims. Until this is done, accusing NASA of impropriety is one-sided and without evidence."
American researcher Steve Wingate was the first person to bring world attention to the anomaly in the far side Lobachevsky Crater by posting the old Apollo 16 photograph and several new views from the recent Clementine mapping mission to the Lunascan Mailing List. Even more recently, eminent German geologist and science writer Dr. Johannes Fiebag confirmed Wingate's discovery of an "unusual and possibly artificial structure" on the mysterious far side of the moon as shown in the 25 year old NASA Apollo 16 orbital photograph, AS16/10075825.
SkepticalEd: "I was involved in this ridiculous brouhaha back in the late '90s. Steve Wingate did NOT bring
world attention to this NATURAL feature. It wasn't hailed by the world as very few were aware of it. It is not an anomaly and Wingate should be whipped into submission for b.s. those that became aware of it, such as Lunascan Project, and claiming it was something other than a natural feature. Dr Fiebag made a major error when he confirmed and promoted this stupidity. Jeff Rense had an article on his website when it was called SIGHTINGS titled "Astonishing Intelligent Artifacts (?) Found On Mysterious Far Side Of The Moon." If you search for it you won't find it 'cause I wrote to Rense and told him the truth about this b.s. "anomaly" and he removed the article. The article also included a debunking by another person who came to the same conclusions as I did. I also wrote Dr Fiebag and lambasted him for using his good name to endorse b.s. He replied, and I still have his email archived on videotape. He said to me, in part: "However, besides this I already made clear in different mailing lists and personal messages that I VERY LIKELY WAS WRONG! The white straight structure is an artifact - but an human one made here on Earth." What does he mean by '...an human one made here on Earth.'? What I told him and Rense and everyone who put up a page on their website with Rense's article: that the 'anomaly' was nothing more than Liz Edwards' computer enhancement of a small photograph and got pixelated beyond use. What you see on her enhancement is nothing but pixels on steroids. I'm simplifying this but eventually I was responsible for the removal from websites. The only person I had a problem with was Ms Edwards herself who couldn't see beyond her stupidity. Crater Lobachevsky has a small crater on one of its walls. The crater is named Guyot. It has edges with high albedo and some lava flow. When you look at a high resolution photo you won't see any 'anomaly' but a crater with high reflection called albedo. Edwards created the 'anomaly', not aliens. Anything below this rebuttal on this post is worthless and has no merit as it is not based on real, hard data but on the gullibility of people who do not do enough research but accept claims as if blind."
Dr. Fiebag, highly-respected, is the author of two recent books: "Mars - Planet Des Lebens", Econ-Publisher, Düsseldorf 1996; and "Mission Pathfinder", (Econ Publisher, Düsseldorf 1997).
Below is the original NASA Apollo 16 photograph which we will now examine in extraordinary detail.
Click to view attachmentUpon examination of the photograph, it was apparent that both Steve Wingate and then Dr. Fiebag's claims about the Apollo 16 photograph of the Lobachevsky Crater merited immediate closer examination. The picture was sent to graphics analyst Liz Edwards at IWonder Productions for enhancement and further analysis. Her work quickly underscored the fact that there are indeed some bizarre anomalies in the photograph, in fact there are several.
(Ms. Edwards' most recently exposed what appears to be a tiny missile in a photograph of a New York sunset at the exact time of the TWA 800 tragedy.)
Ms. Edwards made it clear that her multi-stage "enhancement process takes the image to its most critical viewing size without distorting the objects in question." Below, is her first enhancement of the NASA Apollo 16 photograph...
Click to view attachmentThis first enhancement (above) is remarkable in itself in that there are apparently four clearly strange and unusual 'objects' or anomalies in the Lobachevsky Crater.
Item "A" demonstrates a strange white rectangular shape along the ridge of the crater rim and includes an unusual shadow below and to its right.
Item "B" appears to be a spectacular 'spire' soaring perhaps hundreds of meters straight up from the lunar surface and standing next to what appears to be a rectangular shadowed hole or depression running from its base out to the right.
Item "C" smaller but odd, sits in the bottom of the small valley or ravine below the crater rim.
Item "D" is set apart from the other objects and projects an extraordinary and bright reflective surface.
Click to view attachmentHere is Ms. Edwards' close-up enhancement of three of the subject areas.
Item "A", the ridge-top on the left, draws immediate attention because of its stunning line-up of round protuberances. These appear to be an integral part of the white colored area or cap on top of the ridge. These black, holed objects are lined-up in such a way as to provoke images of large 'ventilation' or exhaust stacks as might be seen on an ocean liner or large industrial plant...only much larger. These objects seem anything but a trick of light and shadow. A spectacular formation. Evidence of volcanism? Part of a major project or operation? What is it?
Item "B" presents what appears to be a dazzling image rising straight up from the lunar surface many hundreds of feet into the void of space. Are we witnessing this tower-like object being hit by the sun's rays and appearing to be thereby illuminated....as one would expect a piece of crystal to do if struck by the sun in this fashion? Or, is the entire 'tower' simply some type of photographic anomaly? If real, it is a stunning artifact...a crystal lunar obelisk? A construct of ET technology somehow linked to the bizarre ridge-top 'vent' pipes above on the crater rim? A part of a mining or excavation operation directly related to the dark, shadowed surface depression next to it?
Item "C", at the bottom of the ravine below the ridge, smaller, but seemingly also rising up out of the lunar soil to pose mute questions that we can only ponder.
Maximum Object Enhancement
Click to view attachmentItem "A". Again, this is an absolutely stunning display of?
A long series of ridge-top holes or openings or vents?
What are they?
Evidence of ancient volcanism?
The results of some type of post asteroid impact heat release?
Are they intelligently devised and part of an operational base and installation?
Funnels to carry some gaseous emission out from deep below?
Almost like Lunar 'coral'. What do you think?
Click to view attachmentItem "B" presents itself as major enigma. Think about it...
Click to view attachmentItem "C". Smaller 'spire' like item.
By the way Dr. Fiebag has not openly described his discoveries as necessarily representing an extraterrestrial artifact on the lunar surface but makes it clear that he cannot rule that possibility out.
Click to view attachmentItem "D" is very much its own enigma. Sitting well away from the other primary anomalies, this small item puts out a distinct shadow and shape and has further been enhanced by Ms. Edwards as displayed in the small inset in the lower right corner of the picture. Again, what do you think??
Lobachevsky 'Excavation' or 'Shadow'
Recently Imaged By Clementine
Click to view attachmentCourtesy NASA and Steve Wingate
Where is the 'tower' next to the 'excavation' in the recent Clementine photographs of Lobachevsky?
Was it simply a defect in the original Apollo 16 photograph? Hardly likely.
Then where did it go?
Was it removed when it's task was completed?
Analysis of the 'excavation' anomaly area suggests the shape of the crater appears to have changed noticeably from the time of the Apollo picture more than 20 years earlier.
Could this apparently different lunar terrain texture have resulted from a major excavation and/or mining operation which entered into the side of the crater rim? Or, is this dark area all just a 'lava flow' as NASA states?
Here is a nice conspiracy video as well...http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?docId=-9075306542842977658&hl=en-GB
