astonishing.
So this dome, as it were, is more like layer upon layer of steel-hard, transparent material, probably glass, protecting vast stretches of city-like infrastructure below. It must have taken eons, truly millions if not billions of years, for this immense and incredible feat of engineering to have eroded to the point it had by the time we went to the Moon and rediscovered it. As you will see, this unbelievable accomplishment is just the tip of the iceberg. There is much more to be found on the Moon, left behind and placed there by who knows who.
I’m not saying it was aliens… But…
What happened to Surveyor 4?
What all of this leads us back to is Surveyor 4. If you remember, that was the robotic mission that disappeared while descending at high speed over Sinus Medii. The Surveyor 6 spacecraft that managed to land in the same region of the Moon safely and take the astounding after sunset lunar dome image from the surface was a replacement for this lost mission. In fact, it wasn’t until after that iconic photograph that NASA suddenly decided that Sinus Medii was suddenly unsuitable for the first lunar landing, even though it had been the first choice all along. What I strongly suspect is that NASA actually figured out what must have happened to Surveyor 4.
In short, it went “splat” like a bug on a windshield.
The evidence to support this contention is strong. First, keep in mind that the spacecraft was descending at several thousands of miles per hour at least, given that it was still over two minutes from its designated touchdown site. At that speed, even a minor scrape with an object like the Tower or the Shard would have destroyed the space vehicle. Second, Surveyor 6, rather than land in the same place and use the same approach vector, took a different approach vector and landed about ½mile from where Surveyor 4 was intended to touch down. Another tell-tale sign is the mysterious way in which the spacecraft simply ceased to exist. One microsecond it was there, the next it wasn’t. As I pointed out before, if there had been a chemical explosion, as NASA suggests, then the telemetry would have recorded this rather slow moving process as one system after another on the spacecraft was destroyed by the chemical explosion. Instead, the spacecraft simply blinked out of existence. Also, if NASA truly thought there was a malfunction with Surveyor’s descent rockets, wouldn’t they have tested that thesis and made some improvements to the system? In reality, they did not.
This disappearance then can only be explained by one of two possibilities. Either Surveyor 4 was sucked into some sort of hyper-dimensional wormhole created by the Moon’s Ancient Alien defense systems, or it hit something so fast that not even the light-speed radio transmissions from the onboard computer had time to record it. For obvious reasons, I favor the latter scenario.
At first, it may seem implausible. After all, wouldn’t the spacecraft’s sensitive telemetry also record the considerably slower-than-light impact against the towering glass structures we’ve speculated are littering the Sinus Medii region? Theoretically, yes they would. But the cool thing about conventional physics is there are always exceptions to virtually every rule. A case in point; the “scissors effect.”
Put simply, the scissors effect is an example of the fallacious idea that nothing can travel faster than light (see The Choice). It says that if a pair of scissors were suddenly closed at speeds approaching light speed (1.0c), then the theoretical intersection point between the two blades would (and must) exceed the speed of light. So if the 2 end points of the blades were closed at 0.9c, the intersection point (which exists only mathematically) would exceed 1.8c, or 1.8 times the speed of light. Of course, this calculation ignores the fact that if the two blades actually touch at the point of intersection, as they do in real scissors, then
