This from a scientist friend to me, after I sent him the above 2 vids. I read it this morning: A few disconnected first thoughts::: (1) A few years ago my brother said I was nuts not to believe in flying saucers, and that I ought to open my mind and study it. But I had studied it for many years, read several books, J. Allen Hynek, etc. I was designing (naive) UFO detecters when my brother was still learning to read. He gave me some internet links to follow, and I was surprised to see what an abundance of photographs had accrued in the decades since I had gotten bored with it. The problem was, none of the photographs were clear and credible. To me. There may be, however, groups and networks who have already assembled a trove of researchable sightings, and we could save some time by either joining them or leveraging off of/extending their work. The downside is we would have to sift through all the charlatans and nonsense to find them. Many will be sure planet Nibiru will appear at any moment.
(2) The original lunar posting from Tenac/Montreal has quite a lot of comments. Among them is a video made to look just like the original, the author of which says "here is how I faked it, and I think the fellow in Montreal did the same.” He said someone paid him to prove the first was a fake by duplicating it, and he did an impressive job. Maybe that is all on the level and maybe it isn’t. The governments of the world have never been forthcoming with what they know, and may still be quick to “debunk” genuine sightings as soon as they surface in order to suppress public awareness. It is a good policy to work quietly. I’m sorry to be so suspicious, but the powers that be insist on provoking suspicion by doing dumb things that are most easily explained as hiding something. They shipped all the debris from the WTC to China, and we’re not supposed to be suspicious? They promptly buried Bin Laden at sea, and we’re not supposed to be suspicious? The prophecies peg this as the age of deception: they sure got that right.
(3) Two or three friends with the money could set up dedicated telescopes to watch (videotape-with-time-stamps) the moon from separate locations. Day and night. They could divide up the time-consuming job of reviewing the footage and compare results when they find something interesting. I’m sorry it is out of my reach. The point is, rather than looking for past sightings, make new ones, with the documentation and conditions that would establish credibility. If “they” were out there a week ago, then they still are. A 4” refractor with a good drive, CCD, and laptop,,, and just start watching… I’d love to do it. The only thing I could contribute would be the land for the observatory, and the reviewing. I think coordinating the effort would be the easiest part. “I can observe tonight from 15:00 to 22:00 MDT. Who else can?” “Great. Tomorrow I’ll review the footage from 15:00 to 18:30, you do the rest, and I’ll get back with you.”
The moon is an active place. Impacts happen, outgassing takes place, etc. All that has scientific value, and good science has always been tedious. Some get lucky, but most fish are caught by those who keep putting their line in the water.
Ah, well, talk is cheap and philosophizing is easy. My reply: 'Very insightful! Thank you for these observations. "There may be, however, groups and networks who have already assembled a trove of researchable sightings, and we could save some time by either joining them or leveraging off of/extending their work. " Yes, I think this is a good place to start... Looking for a scientific, evidence-based team. I have heard of such, MUFON maybe? I've seen a fellow called Bruce who looks at the moon, posts to youtube. I really like your idea of a system of amateur telescopes, " A 4” refractor with a good drive, CCD, and laptop,,, and just start watching…" Perhaps attach a video camera to the telescope... Steve"
