Can you believe the remarkable object detail that can be observed in this Quickmap capture? (2m per pixel with browser zoom of 200%)
If the object detail in the view is what I think it is, then it would seem quite likely that Armstrong and Aldrin were 'warned off' the moon and told not to come back.
The resolution is effectively 1 meter per pixel and the co-ordinates are given below. The location is in the same general area as the other images shown above.
Centre of view: Lat: -62.7737, Long: -141.2122.
Neil Armstrong presented a cryptic speech at the White House in 1994 and there were a couple of things he said that caught my attention.
He said, "There are great ideas undiscovered, breakthroughs available to those who can remove one of the truth's protective layers."
I thought this was odd since when does truth need protective layers and what did he mean by breakthroughs to those who can remove the protective layers.
Could it possibly be that what he was referring to is the applied artificial 'fog' that can be seen in many of the lunar images?
He also said, "There are many places to go beyond belief." Could it possibly be that he was referring to 'places to go' on the moon that are 'beyond belief'?
From this I can only conclude that he must have had first hand knowledge and experience and what he was recollecting was the knowledge of that experience.
In the views shown above it can definitely be seen that the surface of the moon is literally covered with something much more interesting than rocks or boulders.
Members may find the above animation of interest. A good optical magnifier helps to view the object detail in the clearer view.
Many of the structural shapes and formations can also be observed in the original capture but due to the 'fog' are slightly obscured.

The animation shown above relates to the square-shaped cluster of structures as seen in the above post.
For some reason this cluster of structures appear to have been built using different materials when compared to the many other structures seen in the view.
You will also probably notice that many of the objects seen in the enhanced view can also be seen in the obfuscated capture
Members will have noticed that I have used the Quick Map 2m resolution and have applied a 200% browser zoom. This effectively gives a resolution of 1m per pixel.
The reason for this method is that the lower resolutions are just not clear enough. It's as though for the 1m and 50cm resolutions a special algorithm is being used to distort and disguise the surface object detail, but at the 2m resolution the object detail is much cleaner and definitely clearer.
The area that qmantoo has marked on the image is in a darker part of the view where the object detail is not very clear.
The area that is much more interesting is just below the marked area. In the enhanced view this is where groups of structural formations can be seen.

Taking your first image, I see the area of interest smack in the middle where there appear to be structures perhaps. I have not gone to the LROC quickmap site to enter the coordinates, but I have indicated the area in your image with a very crude large black circle below.
As always, these images from NASA are just at the boundary of pixellation and of course we have the compression as well to deal with. However, there may be structures there where you are indicating. As I have said to you before though, I dont think we can use screenshots of images on the screen because you have the monitor resolution as well as the original image compression to take into account. Then if we do our own magic, as I have on your posted image, we really could be looking at anything at all. Anyway, it is fun to speculate so here is what I see.
Here is the raw capture from QuickMap. I have placed a red ellipse around the group of objects. If, as we are told, the atmosphere around the moon is a near vacuum, why are we seeing this white 'fog' effect? There can only be one answer. The effect was applied after the image was downloaded to obscure something on the surface.
In the image seen above there can be no doubt that there are many structural objects on the surface, but who built them?
The big question is, were they built in a near vacuum or could it be that there is an atmosphere surrounding the moon? If the Apollo astronauts went to the moon, why did they never mention anything about structures on the surface as we can see in the views above?
Here is the full enhanced view. Now we can see why the artificial 'fog' effect was applied.
This type of image manipulation is a deception as it deprives us of observing the real object detail on the lunar surface.
In the light of the detail that can be observed in this image , how many other LROC images have had this type of obfuscation applied to conceal the surface detail?
The original capture was captured as was 1280 pixels wide but as a browser zoom value of 200% was applied this effectively changed the resolution to 1 meter per pixel. The image was then resampled to produce an image 1000 pixels wide. Therefore, the resolution in the view is equivalent to a resolution of 1.28 meters per pixel.
The view shown below is a partial enhancement. The only problem with using this procedure is that all the grey and white values change making the image darker. Nevertheless, although the image is darker a large amount of object detail can still be observed.You will notice how the procedure has removed some of the 'fog' effect
I have placed a red ellipse around some of the interesting groups of objects that do not have the appearance of being natural formations.
Do you see anything that looks familiar? Any comments are most welcome.
After finding some remarkable object detail in an obfuscated Clementine image I checked out the more recent LROC views in the same area.
What I found were close views that had a mysterious 'fog' effect over them as if an attempt was made to cover the object detail on the surface.
The problem is that this 'fog' should not be present as there is very little atmosphere to support a fog or for that matter anything that resembles clouds.
As I had seen this effect before, I immediately realised that using an enhancement procedure the applied 'fog' could be removed to reveal what is really underneath.
Here is the raw capture of the view including the reference information. See if you can spot anything recognizable in the view.
