Strangest Mysteries of the World and Beyond !

Moon and Ancient aliens

Moon and Ancient aliens

WHAT WE CANNOT see, often, we fear… or at least consider with suspicion. This is perhaps because it's unknown, and people tend to be frightened of the unknown.

Because we cannot see it, the far side of the Moon is for many a place of dark mystery. Why can we never see it? What's there? Rumors in certain circles speculate that it's the perfect place for an alien base.

Rumors aren't reality, of course, so is there any information to back up these claims?

Why we can't see it

When we look up at the Moon, we always see the same side. This peculiarity results because the Moon rotates just once for every orbit it makes around the Earth. The Moon is slightly lopsided, so over millions of years, gravitational forces have slowed its rotation so that the one side always faces our planet.

The side facing away from us often used to be referred to as "the dark side of the Moon," which is erroneous since, on average, the side we don't see receives just as much sunlight as the side we do see.

For many hundreds of years, humankind wondered what the far side of the Moon was like. Was it similar to the familiar near side? Was it different? What secrets did it hold? The mystery began to be revealed in 1959 when the Soviet Union's Luna 3 spacecraft flew to the far side of the Moon and photographed it for the first time. These first photographs were crude and grainy, but seemed to show a land as bleak and lifeless as the near side.

Subsequent space probes, such as the Lunar Orbiter 4, succeeded in photographing the surface of the far side in much greater detail in 1967. Then in 1968, astronauts aboard Apollo 8, which circled the Moon in preparation for the Apollo 11 landing, saw the far side of the Moon with human eyes for the first time.

Today, we have detailed photo maps of the far side, as well as topographic maps calling out its main features. So the far side of the Moon is not as mysterious as it once was. Yet the stories persist that there are still many secrets there - stories fueled in part by the fact that since Apollo 17 in 1972, we have not returned to the Moon with a manned mission. The conspiracy minded suspect that there's a reason for that: the aliens don't want us there.

Alien bases

It has long been a theory of some UFOlogists that the far side of the Moon could harbor a base for extraterrestrials. Presuming they come from a distant planet in some other solar system, they must have a base from which they can make their regular visits to the Earth. What better place than the far side of the Moon, which is perpetually hidden from sight?

Milton Cooper Knew About the Alien Moon Base

A Naval intelligence officer, Milton Cooper was privy to some intriguing information which he shared quite readily. According to him the U.S. Naval Intelligence Community refers to the Alien Moon Base as “Luna”. He also stated that it was known that the aliens had a huge mining operation going on and that their massive mother ships were kept near the mining site, while they used smaller craft to visit Earth.

“It was seen and filmed by the Apollo astronauts. A base, a mining operation using very large machines, and the very large alien craft described in sighting reports as mother ships exist there." - Milton Cooper

Milton Cooper was shot dead by 'law enforcement' officers near his home on November 6th 2001. Interestingly, he spent every waking hour informing the world of the presence of aliens both on our planet and on the moon. According to him, the U.S. government had been cooperating with the aliens who were far superior to us in terms of technology, for decades. Why was he killed?
