My conjecture that most images (with anomalies) <--- should have included this disclaimer in last post) have been tampered with is based on observation. I have no proof, and I am not immune from making mistakes like any other human. If I should start noting blaring examples of obfuscation I would have no time for examining the purported anomalies. It surprizes me that you, after examining many more photos than I have, would not agree with me at least partly, on this. You and everyone else here are mature enough to make thier own decisions through the evidence presented. The statement you cited represents my feelings on the political situation at hand. IMHO no government agency of the United States or the EU will ever admit to evidence of extraterrestrial life and will actively block or suppress it. I dont need any CT sites or blogs to convince me of that.
In common terms "I deal with the hand I am dealt" refers to the evidence handed out to all of us. It is all we have unless someone has a source for higher resolution raw data directly from the sattelite feed. (which I believe is encoded) . My conjecture is from direct observation only, and yes my knowelage of Imaging techniques is stunningly inadequate. That is not to say that I dont learn from everyone here, I have learned much and I thank everyone in here for being informative and mostly concise but, I do not have to agree with anyones conclusions.
That is enough, you may have the last word as I am done with this thread.
All I know is that Skipper based some of his observations on shadows, and that was very convincing to me. If anyone can show me another pic of something similar, without going thru diversionary machinations, that the shadow wraps around but is not part of, then I will believe it is possible that the object is not an object but an "illusion". Until then I am not convinced.
And I do believe it is possible and even plausible to conjecture that objects with more than one or two right angles, or perfectly circular objects that are seen from a thousand miles away could be structures made by intelligent beings. Errors in conclusions and the disproving of such are the only way we feeble humans learn.
Another factor to take into consideration is the BLATANT obfuscation in allmost every picture released by NASA ESA The USN JPL and apparantly every other 3 or 4 letter agency supposedly responsible for the distribution of taxpayer funded resources and information.
As for closer or more detailed pics that have not been tampered with to get "under the hood" for any type of confirmation of an anomaly, good luck in our lifetimes. I deal with the cards I am dealt.
Macten. As I expect the ability to just talk about the anomalies when structural analysis is needed gets thrown out of the window. Skippers works? Be more specific. Is it beyond anyones ability to drill down to the point, in THIS CASE, and not any others, theres a very very strong chance of just being flat wrong. Its not an anomaly. To be frank I will make a pretty clear judgement that most anomaly hunters here have very little if any, understanding of what is tampered and what isnt. One cant judge a book by its cover, especially with orbital images due to imaging artifacts (subtle and obvious). The paradoxes of compression algorithms etc are still beyond any of you. Because an image looks hazy doesn't mean its tampered with deliberately.. Isnt anyone here up to speed with imaging and its processes? I cant be the only one here outside MarsA that has any idea or thought process that is objective. Stunning rebuttal from you Macten . Youve said absolutely nothing to further the argument. Just some beliefs based on hear say and the ever growing conspiracy infested trough of ideas which are burying the true anomalies. Believe me, Its easy to rip Skippers work (in most cases) apart but I do respect his right to thoroughly convince himself. Again i must emphasise the fact that Im an anopmaly hunter too. Just not so blinkered to swallow anything a book or conspiracy site throws at me. The alien question is key. Not personal agendas with no Substatiative proof.This isnt an ideological argument but a forensic one. This involves acute observations of both normal and anomalous features to get a better idea of what one is looking at. Also being able to foster the strength to step forward and say to fellow anomaly hunters.... Your wrong is flavor for progression! And to back that up one arguement with initial observations. To debunk should be part of an anomaly hunters armory. if you dont, shadows and blind alleys are the only things you'll be truly commenting and proclaiming on.
Macten strangly states: As for closer or more detailed pics that have not been tampered with to get "under the hood" for any type of confirmation of an anomaly, good luck in our lifetimes. I deal with the cards I am dealt.
And for the record. If you find it hard to understand why one needs to get closer to anomalies then you are are a little further back in forward thing than I first imagined. May I point out that we have actually been to the moon and if its Nasa images you use then try and put the foot work in and look at everything! Astounding statement! ??!! Have a chat with The Genealogist. I may not agree completely with his findings, I find his tireless clear presentations a breath of fresh air in the choking idealist world.. The images should do the talking.

If you take another look at the pic I supplied with the shadow and the circles around it, It encompasses the base of the orb and encircles it. That is to say that part of the shadow is behind the orb.
That could not happen in your scenario. The object was probably only there when that photo was taken. It is obviosly a craft of some type that moves or changes location.(IMHO) I have also looked for it in other photos and cannot find it. Maybe it is visible in the new Chinese map but I dont have 800GB to download that !
The ops image is of a relatively recent impact within a much older impact of possibly billions of years ago (clue in The low-albedo interior floor is nearly level and featureless).
Ray patterns from bright sub soil tones seen from a much further distance or in the OPs post, orbital images can be interpreted as anomalies. . judging such features from a distance is leaving one open to errors in conclusions. The crater below is similar and part of the 100s of thousands of craters on the moon. Closer studies of lunar crater systems, their creation, their source of structure and the peculiarities of lunar surface impacts due to Lunar geo-historic past, will help remote sensing conclusions..
There ares some very strange anomalous craters but a much closer image is needed to get under the hood of specular illusions.

I just wondered if you guys had considered that the pin like object protruding from the top of the 'seahorse' could be the pointed end of a safety pin? To me the dark circle at the bottom of the anomaly looks like the coil of the safety pin. Just an observation.
The following slides do not discount the possibility of a giant sphere in Firsov K crater I just couldnt find one after making a number of scans across the crater on the LRO. What I did however find is only a possible explanation. I have supplied a surface elevation towards the viewer in the original Apollo photograph.
I have magnified a very large hill the top of which reaches -180 metres. This hill reflects light very brightly. At the bottom of the steep hill is a small shelf (at -320 metres) and at the bottom of the hill there is what looks like a small crater. The bottom of this crater is at -350 metres. Going by what I have found in Tycho crater is it possible that the bright hill has 2 areas below it reflecting light differently which look like shadows at long distance. The overall effect is to create the illusion of a sphere. Just an idea. Observations welcome.
It doesn't take much to compare THAT crater highlight in the BG with the ones in the foreground and see that it is not an object, but the sun reflecting on the left side of the crater - just like in all the others.
I have attempted to find the anomolie in the clearest pic I could find which was AS11-44-6644HR.jpg and as I calculate from the Genealogist map, should be on the farside crater wall of Firsov K. No such luck so maybe it was not there for Apollo 11. I cannot find a pic of Firsov K in AS17 pics.
Goggog in your Gif what is the crater closest to the viewer?
Am I right in assuming that the the orb sits in the crater Firsov K? I've tried to plot it below. I've used a couple of coloured arrows on craters to identify them. The orange one is the sharpe ridge (crater wall) between Firsov and Firsov K.
THats pretty neat but it would have to be a really huge arthropod? There is something else in this pic that might peak your interest in the upper left corner. It is pretty blurry and could be nothing at all but it is interesting to me.
Macten, there are often these round 'orb'-like things seen in the sky watching the Apollo mission and it is interesting that you have found one on the ground. I think we should have a thread to document where we have found these because - as with all these anomalies - the more similar sightings we can get, the more likely these things are to be real and not just image artifacts. Personally, I think they may well be some kind of robot drone or spy-in-the-sky keeping a close watch on our missions.
We need to find the same thing in other images from other angles and from other times/dates if possible to make sure (for the skeptics) that we are not seeing image artifacts.
well spotted.
might help occasionally although a search for KING only gives the very far-off Lunar orbiter view. Possibly a longitude and latitude search might be better.

The second image clearly shows that somebody doctored the original. And it wasn't me.
This image has had me stumped since you posted it, at first glance it looks like the surface has been shaven leaving a large flattened plateaux , but having studied the image a little more, I agree that the image has been doctored..... "And Inverted" the image has also been stretched slightly, I also believe the seahorse feature has been added as a distraction (as can be seen in the inverted image)
The main question is.... Why invert the image?
(Willease lol...... I do not think it was you who doctored the image)

IMHO, I feel the seahorse is just a processing artefact, there are other artefacts (fibres?) in the lower right of the image, but there are plenty of other interesting anomalies (structures and possible tampering) throughout the image, really good find.
