5 Weird Anomalies And Bizarre Conspiracies Of The Moon

Perhaps second only to the Sun, the Moon has been a central and focal point in the skies over humanity since the beginning of time! Or has it? Even today, in an age where bizarre and outlandish stories flow freely around the Internet, some claims about the Moon are right up there with the best of them. As we will see, one of them even alluded to a time when the Moon didn’t exist.There are also some genuinely strange anomalies that have yet to be explained in a satisfactory manner. Perhaps even more bizarre, some of these crazy conspiracies (if they were ever proven to be true) would offer those explanations that have eluded us so far. Here are 10 of the weirdest facts and craziest conspiracies about our Moon.

5.Its Dimensions And Positioning Are Too Perfect For Some

Over the last few years, there have been several total eclipses of the Sun by the Moon. The fact that we experience these is a wonder in itself. Our Moon, in fact, is the only known moon to do this with its host.The size of the Moon is about one-quarter that of the Earth. Now here is where things get strange. The diameter of the Moon is about 400 times smaller than that of the Sun. But the Moon is also 400 times closer to the Earth than the Sun.[1]Oh yes, and the Moon just happens to keep a perfect circular orbit around the Earth—again, the only known moon to do so. This also gives us the impression that the Moon and the Sun are the same size in our skies.While most likely coincidence, all these factors still have only an astronomical chance of occurring (literally millions to one). Yet they did. Of course, those in conspiracy and UFO circles will tell you that the reason for this is simple: The Moon is “artificial” and its dimensions—exact and precise as they are—are the result of intelligence and planning. Make of the claims what you will.

4.It’s Hollow

Carl Sagan stated in his 1966 book, Intelligent Life In The Universe, that a natural satellite (which accepted thinking says the Moon is) can’t be hollow. Most would agree with him.So it shocked scientists greatly when the seismic equipment on the Moon registered substantial reverberations on November 20, 1969, after the intentional jettisoning of the Apollo 12 lunar module’s ascent stage back to the surface. Not only did the Moon reverberate “like a bell,” it did so for over an hour.[2]If the data was to be believed, it suggests that the Moon is hollow.During the following mission, a greater payload was jettisoned and the reverberation was measured again. This time, the effect was even greater, with the “ringing” continuing for well over three hours.Despite the suggestions that the Moon might indeed be hollow—based upon NASA’s own experiments—the findings were largely downplayed by NASA in the years afterward. At least to the public’s knowledge, this has not been studied further.

3.The Moon’s Craters Are Strange

The Moon is littered with craters from multiple impacts over the many years of its existence. To some, it is strange how uniform these craters look in terms of their depth. Accepted knowledge tells us that they should vary greatly in depth, yet they don’t.Just another anomaly of space? Most likely. But to some, it is a little more.Those who contend that the Moon is artificial or hollow point to these craters as being further proof of their theories. One such belief suggests that an “inner casing” of sorts exists under the rocky lunar surface.[3]The theorists assert that this casing would have to consist of some kind of metallic material, capable of both absorbing the impacts and evenly distributing them so as to avoid any deep craters. According to some, this casing also prevents damage to what might lie beneath it.

2.The Moon’s Rotation Is Also Unique

We have all heard of the dark side of the Moon, the part of our celestial neighbor that we never see. Many people think that this is because the Moon doesn’t spin. However, it is more accurate to call this part of the Moon the “far side” as the Moon does indeed spin.It takes the Moon 27.3 days to orbit Earth once. At the same time, it also takes the Moon 27 days to do a complete rotation on its own axis. This “synchronous rotation” causes a side of the Moon to always face away from our planet. Again, our Moon appears to be unique in this.From the perspective of the “dark side of the Moon” conspiracy theorists, the end result is still the same. A side of the Moon is permanently away from the viewing eyes on our planet which makes it an ideal place to establish a base and carry out secret activity with advanced technology.

1.Operational Bases

Alex Collier is certainly not the only person to claim that bases exist on the Moon. There has been a wave of such declarations, often connected to anonymous whistle-blowers and leaked secret documents over the last two decades alone.A recent claim about the presence of an operational Moon base was made by Dr. Michael Salla, who works with the Chinese space agency in their attempts to achieve a manned mission to the Moon. If successful, this will be the first such landing since NASA’s Apollo 17 in 1972.Salla also says that the base was the result of the “military industrial extraterrestrial complex.” Even more outlandish were his comments that NASA was actively bombing such bases as well as “ancient artifacts and facilities” to cover up their existence.[10]Furthermore, he has stated that secret mining missions were being carried out by a “secret world government” that had made a covert pact with an unknown extraterrestrial race. Like any such claims, make of them what you will.
