Haha Polluks, good joke. You sound as if you have just had a visit from the Men in Black and been told that from now on.... everything is just a rock - OK?? !!
The first thing I did after I downloaded that huge tif file was to turn it 90 degrees sideways so maybe that is why they all look like alien houses and structures. I will have to turn it another 90 degrees and find that they all turn into rocks again - like NASA say.
It is spooky how the 'artists impressions' of the moon bases in the top two image look very real - even down to the dust coming from the rover's wheel and the vehicle wheel impressions in the moondust outside the base on the left.
In the photo, there is a lot of black stuff which obscures and confuses the eye trying to make recognition more difficult. They black-out half and it makes the eye think this is nothing, but if the other half was shown, it would be easily recognisable. Yes, it does look like a moon base structure.
Hi Qmantoo. Thanks for the links. Despite the fact that the image has distorted by NASA (seems like double vision) you can see something similar to the lunar base, at least so it seemed to me.
I really dont know if this is one of those huge LROC images which has already been referenced on this forum. I may have downloaded it after reading a post on here, just cannot remember. Anyway, they are large enough for hundreds of people to be examining each one and still each person finds their own anomalies or adds to those found by others. I dont claim any of these are unique.
Anyway, I want to present to you one of the large LROC images M162350671L of 250Mb+ from here. It often appears differently on different sites but the one I downloaded and examined is from the official web page. It purports to be from Tyco crater but I really dont know. The other images with this reference are totally different so anything is possible.
Anyway, I just thought that this complete image is absolutely littered with evidence of civilisation. It is not obvious at first glance but look closely and there is an order in the way many of the boulders and overhangs are placed. See what you think. The IMG files are roughly 500Mb so obviously I cannot put them on here as they are too dimensionally tall & wide as well as too large. So this is a very small piece of one section of the lossy tif file. The black areas have no detail in them at all unfortunately, but they may have in the picture which comes out of the IMG file.
To me, if some of these areas were rolling green hills, with rivers and streams, it would almost be perfect and I could see why they might not want to be disturbed.
