![]() Analysis of LRO images in “Preliminary Image Analysis” including coregistered and ‘fused’ images at different sun angles reveals this is not the case. ![]() Many times, objects that appear unusual in older lower resolution photographs turn out to be unremarkable in higher resolution digital images. “Background” summarizes the discovery of these features – a case study in citizen science. ![]() This paper provides evidence supporting the hypothesis that certain features in the crater Paracelsus C on the far side of the moon may be artificial in origin. Where on the Earth the evidence may be buried beneath overlaying strata, Davies believes “Quarrying or construction on the moon or asteroids would persist conspicuously for much longer, and scrutiny of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data would be a useful exercise”. The search for alien artifacts on the moon is an outgrowth of this more inclusive search strategy.ĭavies called for a citizen science approach to SETI stating “rather than leaving SETI to a small and heroic band of radio astronomers, we should mobilize the entire scientific community to ‘keep their eyes open’ for telltale signs of alien technological activity.” One suggestion is to look for evidence of mining or quarrying activities. Seeking a broader alternative to radio SETI, a search for extraterrestrial artifacts (SETA) was proposed in the 1980s. Forthcoming high resolution photographic reconnaissance of the Moon from space vehicles – particularly of the back side – might bear these possibilities in mind”.įoster estimated frequencies of visitations by extraterrestrials or their messenger probes and suggested the possibility that past encounters may have left behind artifacts or indirect evidence (e.g., deranged planetary terrain). The Moon seems one reasonable alternative. Because of weathering and the possibility of detection and interference by the inhabitants of the Earth, it would be preferable not to erect such a base on the Earth’s surface. During these early years of SETI, Sagan spoke about the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation, “It is not out of the question that artifacts of these visits still exist, or even that some kind of base is maintained (possibly automatically) within the solar system to provide continuity for successive expeditions. ![]() The search for extra-terrestrial intelligence (SETI) began in the 1960s with radio-telescopes and has, to date, produced no positive evidence of its existence. It is shown that these objects are visually different from the lunar background because their underlying structure is different. The terrain surrounding the two structures is not flat but appears âÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂexcavatedâ by some unknown mechanism, natural or artificial. A reverse angle view looking southwest shows the passageway ending at a rise of terrain at the other end, possibly leading underground. Using single image shape from shading and 3D terrain visualization we show in a computer-generated perspective view looking northeast that the southwest end appears to be the entrance to the passageway. By combining multiple images, we show the larger feature, oriented in a northeast/southwest direction, is not simply a wall but two walls on either side of a narrow valley or âÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂpassagewayâÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ. At first glance these structures appear to be walls or towers on the lunar surface.
