U.S. scientists unveil NASA’s secrets about cities on the Moon and microbes on Mars from Pravda.Ru
The former manager of the Data and Photo Control Department at NASA’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory during the manned Apollo Lunar Program, Ken Johnston, has released quite a number of sensational statements recently in the USA. The specialist said that U.S. astronauts found ancient ruins of artificial origin and a previously unknown technology to control gravitation when then landed on the Moon. Astronauts took pictures of the objects that they found, but NASA ordered Johnston to destroy the images. Johnston did not follow the order. He said that the U.S. government had been keeping this information a secret for 40 years.
Johnston's startling Apollo allegations have recently appeared in a new book, "Dark Mission: the Secret History of NASA," co-authored by former NASA consultant and CBS Science Advisor, Richard C. Hoagland and Mike Bara, an aerospace engineering consultant. According to Kay Ferrari, JPL Director of the SSA Program (in a phone call to Johnston last week), it was Johnston "being quoted [as] criticizing NASA in Hoagland's new book, 'Dark Mission,'" that prompted her to ask for Johnston's resignation from the SSA Program. When Johnston refused, citing First Amendment protections of free speech afforded all NASA employees, even those at JPL, Ferrari apparently decided to remove him arbitrarily from the SSA Program this week without cause.
The low quality pictures included in the book depict ruins of buildings, huge dome-like objects made of glass, stone towers and castled hanging in the air.
“I have nothing to lose. I have quarreled with NASA and I got fired,” Ken Johnston said.
Indeed, NASA believes that allegations of the ancient civilization found on the Moon are not serious. The authors of the controversial book also say that President John F. Kennedy, who launched the lunar race with the Soviet Union, actually intended to share extraterrestrial technologies with Moscow. Making a speech at the United Nations Organizations in September of 1963, Kennedy supposedly offered the USSR to organize a joint mission to the Moon.
Richard Hoagland believes that Washington’s interest in the Moon exploration that suddenly appeared after 30 years of silence is based on the lunar findings that the U.S. government has been keeping a secret for 40 years. Russia, China, Japan and even India have publicly announced their plans to work on the exploration of the Moon. The USA, Hoagland said, wants to be the first at this point.
In December NASA announced plans to build an international base on one of the poles of the Moon. The base is to be finished by 2024. Russia’s booster rocket maker, Energia, has a more ambitious program: to build a permanent manned base on the Moon by 2015

I wish I could see those pictures of the ruins.
Floating castles ?
Sheesh... this article reads as a pure advertisement for the book.
I would be somewhat more impressed had the article not been quoted from Pravda, of all places.

SkepticalEd: "FROM(!) Pravda. Ru. Ridiculous-sounding, breast-beating, chest-puffing Press Releases get big airplay outside of the U.S. Hoagland/Bara loved the acceptance."

SE: "Look for the thread where Ken is mentioned and who lost his job as a NASA "Ambassador" based on the results found in the thread. He can say all he wants, just as anyone can do, but it's the missing evidence that gives credence to false utterings."

SE: "As I also mentioned in another thread dealing with this book, it is a farce. Hoagland is up to his old tricks of making ridiculous claims supported by ridiculous "evidence." Now he has Michael "Mike" Bara at his side and the whole is even worse than the individuals for Bara has a website dedicated to foolishness about alien structures on the Moon."
The low quality pictures included in the book depict ruins of buildings, huge dome-like objects made of glass, stone towers and castled hanging in the air.
SE: "None of the pictures in the book depict anything but fantasy. Not one dome of "glass," no towers, and no hanging castle. This is all due to misinterpreting NASA photos. Worse, the small size of the photos in the book show nothing to support the claims. I've been "battling" such claims for many years because Hoagland and Bara like to show photos that were taken during extreme light conditions or from earth-based telescopes whose resolution is not as good as acquired by Lunar Orbiters and Apollo astronauts. I know where this "hanging castle" is located and the photo shows a natural surface formation. The L.A. photos shows nothing but natural formations. The "paperclip" while interesting may be seen only because it is a small, low-resolution photo. And on it goes."
“I have nothing to lose. I have quarreled with NASA and I got fired,” Ken Johnston said.
SE: "Maybe so, but I think he got fired because he made unsupportable claims and accusations against NASA."

SE: "It isn't that NASA 'believes" but that NASA KNOWS that there is nothing on the moon but natural features ON THE SURFACE. I stress this because UFOs have been recorded near and over the surface of the moon. If they are there, it would be ridiculous for them to have surface environments to be seen by humans."
