CHAPTER FOUR
TO THE MOON, ALICE!
    A t this point in the mid-1990s, there had been a significant movement forward in the study of lunar anomalies. Early researchers like Steckling and Leonard had opened the doorway to close examination of the NASA photographic records of the Moon, and Hoagland had blown it wide open with his findings. But what was missing was that critical ground truth we talked about—direct evidence from the lunar surface that these miles high glass dome structures existed.
    Most of the time, when someone uses the word “dome,” it implies a watch crystal like, single piece structure over a crater or some other low lying surface feature. Inside such a structure, it would be possible to create an Earth-like environment. But Hoagland’s model, giant multi-layered scaffolding type structures, actually makes more sense. A naked, watch crystal type dome would be vulnerable to the kind of high-velocity impacts that Moon has experienced for most of its 4.5 billion year life. But a multi-layered, reinforced glass dome would act almost like an atmosphere in terms of the protection it would provide over eons of smaller impacts and the inevitable degradation they would cause. I’m not saying there aren’t “watch crystal” type domes over some lunar craters—in fact we’ll study a few later— but they would be the last line of defense for an Ancient Alien civilization on the Moon. The scaffolding would be the first and presumably the most robust. At this point, all that was left was to find some evidence of it—from the ground.

    In early 1995, Hoagland was on a lecture tour in Seattle and met Ken Johnston, a Boeing engineer at the time, and a former test pilot for Grumman Aerospace. After his tour of duty in the Marines, Johnston had gone to work at NASA in the mid-1960s as a Lunar Module test pilot at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston. There he and his team subsequently trained all of the Apollo astronauts to fly the Lunar Module, while simultaneously being part of the extensive spacesuit development program (“I was ‘capsule size,’” Johnston would later joke).
    Johnston later moved across the center, going to work for Brown-Root Corporation and the Northrop Corporation in MSC’s Lunar Receiving Laboratory (LRL) during Apollo. This consortium had the prime contract for the processing of the actual lunar samples coming back from the Moon, and Ken’s key function was as supervisor of the data and photo control department. This was the section of the LRL that handled all of the critical photographic and written documentation for the Apollo program. After processing elsewhere in the Lab, the films and samples went through Johnston’s office for cataloging and long-term storage.

    Having read Hoagland’s first book, The Monuments of Mars , Johnston wrote a letter of introduction and offered at Hoagland a chance to review Ken’s collection of about 1,000 old NASA photos and other memorabilia. But the story of just how Johnston came to possess the photographs is very interesting and worth retelling.
    As head of the LRL photo lab, it was Ken’s responsibility to catalog and archive all of the Apollo photographs taken by the astronauts. As part of the archiving process, the LRL eventually developed four complete sets of Apollo orbital and handheld photography, comprising literally tens of thousands of first-generation photographic negatives and prints. Ken also had responsibility for managing the 16mm mission films from the on-board “sequence cameras” (modified military gun cameras), operating from the Command Module and Lunar Modules during various phases of the missions, including lunar orbit and descent/ ascent. One of his duties was to frequently screen these on-orbit
