Here is another lunar surprise that even amazed me when I produced it.
The animation shown below is a product of a quick map nearside lunar view at 0.5m/pixel. The width of the animation was reduced to 580 pixels (0.6068m/pixel).
I have also included an enhanced crop of the downloaded original at 704 pixels wide (0.5m/pixel).
Many people keep telling visual researchers that there is nothing on the moon except rocks, boulders and redundant or crashed hardware from previos missions. The image enhancements are showing everything to the contrary, so what's really going on? I believe the enhanced version is really what the LRO camera has in it's sights, but somewhere along the line the original capture gets changed to give viewers in the public domain the impression that there is nothing exceptional to see on the lunar surface. This is not strictly true because if you look very closely at the animation you will notice that some of the surface objects can just be realized in the original image.
Also remember what Neil Armstrong said at the White House in 1994, "There are places to go beyond belief". At the time, he was not referring to Mars or any other planet, he was referring to what he had seen with his own eyes on the lunar surface but had to deliver the message in such a cryptic manner that it would get people guessing as to what he was really trying to say.
I would be very interested to read your comments and opinions of what you can see in the images, if anything.
You may find that it is better to concentratrate on a small area of the image rather than the full view to determine any features or objects.
The location of the view is as follows
Lat: -12.3164; Long: -50.2618.
Reference the ACT-REACT quick map to view the location.
Hi Timewarp. I saw a very interesting video on youtube which showed how the object in question could have crashed and come to rest in the position photographed by the Apollo 15 crew. I dont know myself whether this could have happened but I always keep an open mind. Ill see if I can find it again and post a link.
Officially, the Apollo 20 mission never existed. The last manned mission to the moon was Apollo 17.
I have explored this particular area wgere the spacecraft shape is situated in some detail and although the downloaded Apollo 'whitewashed' images and the dark LROC images tends to give a viewer the impression that there is nothing much to observe, by using the burn facility in Photoshop at a strength of 3% on cropped selections it's amazing what can be found and many of the features showing up are definitely not rocks as many people seem to think. Many of the features are built structures and the photo enhancements have also shown up pipes which could indicate that air to the structures is being produced by some artifical means.
I believe there is a lot more to this particular area than meets the eye especially within, and close to, the spacecraft shape. Something like a spacecraft has left a huge imprint on the terrain and is similar to the shape found on the terrain in eastern Turkey (Noah's Ark site). There is also another similar shape high up in the Peruvian Andes and this particular site is even more interesting as it would appear that in the ancient past a flying craft of some description crash-landed. There is also evidence that the craft struck a rocky ridge before it came to rest on an incline close by. Some images relating to this find have been posted in another thread and show the dimensions of the craft if anyone is interested.

All the Apollo landers, the larger experimentation and nearly all the respective tracks can be seen on the LROC site at 2m per pixel, 1m per pixel and the highest magnification of 0.5m per pixel. However I have not been able to find one mention anywhere of the Latitude and Longitude of the lander for the Apollo 20 mission. If anyone knows it I would be happy to take another look. The slide above is frpm the new LROC Quickmap image for the location and is set at 16m (left image) and 8m per pixel (right image) respectively.

The object in question is half the size of Manhatten Island. It would be allmost impossible to see the bottom section of an LEM at this resolution. Has anyone checked the New Chinese Map for this object?
Following on from what is contained within the spacecraft shape, here is a large-scale enhancement of what is on the close surrounding terrain.
You'll probably be very surprised at what there is to observe. I certainly was especially when I saw how many structures there are in such a small area.
Comparing this image with the original it's obvious that we never see the real image received from the orbiter.
It would appear that the true original from the satellite gets modified along the way before its release.
Do you think these small shapes are natural formations or a sea of artificiality.
You can zoom into this image to take a closer look but it's better to view with a strong optical magnification.

Google " Alien spacecraft on the moon" or" Apollo 20".
Supposedly this craftwas explored by a covert mission launched from Vandenburg AFB using spare (off the books) Saturn 5 rockets. There are films of this with a famous Russian Cosmonot Alexei Leonov,in an American LEM that is still unexplained.
Hi Timewarp a little while back I did an extensive search on the LROC quick map site for this object and any evidence of an Apollo landing craft. Im afraid I came up with very little except hundreds of small craters. Of course thats not to say there is nothing there just that I couldnt find it. However, not wishing to be beaten I looked a little further a field using the Apollo 15 image just to see whether I could find any other sources of interest for NASA. Slide 1 shows an object with what seems to be a scrolled symbol (5 or 2 maybe) on the side and slide 2 shows a small tower and a leaf shaped 'structure' on the wall of the nearby crater. There is also a few very strange objects on the other side of the crater which I will try to locate for you. I hope this does not wander too far from the subject of your thread as the main ship-like object shown in your images may be an attempt to distract us from the scent of whats really lurking nearby. Where is the Apollo craft supposed to have landed? I cant seem to find it mentioned anywhere.

On my machine, after downloading the animated gif, I can use my mouse wheel to increase the size of the running gif to whatever size I like. It does not look like any boat or craft to me as some have said it may be. However, there does appear to be structures within a more defined enclosure - similar to a hill fort perhaps?
The problem I have is that there are so many structures in that image that I feel that either this is a feature of our photography or natural features of the Moon(unlikely), or this civilisation has been there for a long, long time and has colonised most of the Moon at this point. I suppose it depends on how large these beings are and so how large thier constructed structures will be.
Timewarp, if you are investigating this area, do you have other perspectives which may give us more information ?
The long 'spacecraft' shape that can be seen in the Apollo image AS15-P-9625 has been discussed on many forums, but no conclusive decisions have been forthcoming as to what the anomalous shape could be.
Could it possibly be the remains of an ancient spacecraft or is it just a coincidence that it appears to have the shape of a spacecraft?
I have been engaged in some research of the surface objects and other interesting artefacts in this area and using both the low resolution image for reference purposes and the high resolution version for examination and have found something at this particular location that is quite remarkable. What is contained within the 'spacecraft' shape was only realized during the enhancement of the hi-res image.
Many people have researched this area and the 'spacecraft' shape in particular but have only come to the decision that it is a natural formation. When viewing the raw high resolution image that's exactly what the shape would appear to be - a natural formation. But, if you look closely at the first image of the animation and you will probably notice that there is something not quite right about this particular image. It appears to have been masked with a white 'fog'.
Fortunately, the enhancement process allowed me to see through the 'fog' which enabled me to determine what the masking effect was hiding. The result of this process can be seen in the animation below. The animation shows the original cropped section through to the enhanced version of the same image. Viewing the detail in the enhancement is very convincing as to exactly what is contained within the anomalous 'spacecraft' shape and the surrounding area.
Do you notice anything of interest on the surface?
The first image below is a low-resolution context view but even in this image there are some interesting features showing. The cropped image used for the animation was saved as a png and was taken from the high resolution image. The detail showing is within the anomalous shape.
The animation is 580 pixels wide but a larger view of the enhanced image is available should it be required.
