Menyibak misteri: Betulkah Bulan adalah pesawat ET raksasa?
 
 
Moon - Spaceship Theory: the moon is a gigantic extraterrestrial craft,
brought here eons ago by intelligent beings.
 
 
Kasak-kusuk tentang keberadaan Bulan tak ada habisnya dibincangkan dari
waktu ke waktu. Di masa lalu, terang bulan dan kerlap-kerlip bintang
menjadi hiburan utama di malam hari - sembari baca-baca kitab suci - karena
pada zaman itu langka tempat gaul. Beda dengan zaman kini yang dipenuhi bioskop, diskotek, mal, bar, kelab malam dan sejenisnya, minimal nonton TV atau dengar radio di rumah. Lalu terang bulan dan kerlip bintang terabaikan, melulu jadi urusan ilmuwan.
 
Tapi apa sebetulnya fungsi Bulan bagi Bumi? Bulan purnama adalah simbol romantisme, cocok buat manusia yang lagi kasmaran. Saat gerhana bulan, ada yang percaya bahwa Si Bulan dimangsa  Batara Kala. Konon, gerhana bulan punya dampak psikologis pada manusia,  emosi jadi tak stabil - entah bagaimana membuktikannya secara ilmiah. Belum lagi muncul istilah datang bulan, bulan sabit, tanggung bulan, wulan merindu,  terang bulan, bulan-bulanan, dan masih banyak yang lainnya. Dari dulu hingga kini misteri tentang Bulan belum juga tersibakkan secara tuntas. Misi pengiriman astronot NASA ke Bulan juga belum mampu menjawab teka-teki secara
tuntas.
 
Di masa lalu, Bulan, Bintang dan juga Matahari, jadi sesembahan. Sejak
zaman Nabi Muhammad hingga kini Bulan dan Bintang jadi simbol agama
Islam, selain Kaabah, pedang panjang, dan warna putih serta hijau. Di Indonesia,  misalnya, ada partai politik bernama Partai Bulan Bintang (PBB) yang  jelas bernuansa Islam. Palang Merah disebutnya Bulan Sabit Merah. Ritual  puasa diperkirakan warisan dari kaum Sabeanik karena dihitung berdasarkan  peredaran Bulan. Bahkan menurut AQ, Nabi Muhammad konon pernah membelah  Bulan jadi dua bagian dan mampu membuat orang-orang ternganga. Entah benar-benar terjadi atau sekadar kiasan, namun menurut para ilmuwan, kisah itu  musykil pernah terjadi karena tak bisa dibuktikan secara ilmiah. Tetapi umat Islam memang menghindari penggunaan simbol
Matahari - si sumber enerji - yang jadi sesembahan sejak Mesir Kuno dan di
masa modern didewakan oleh masyarakat Jepang. Agaknya umat Islam tak
mau mengikuti jejak langkah ritual penyembah Matahari.

IS THE MOON THE CREATION OF INTELLIGENCE?
 
by Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov, scientists
 
Although people long ago began to wonder whether the "canals" on Mars
were the creation of cosmic engineers, for some odd reason it has not
occurred to look with the same eyes upon the peculiarities of the
lunar landscape much closer at hand. And all the arguments about the
possibilities of intelligent life existing on other celestial bodies
have been confined to the idea that other civilisations must
necessarily live on the surface of a planet, and that the interior as
a habitat is out of the question.
 
Abandoning the traditional paths of "common sense", we have plunged
into what may at first sight seem to be unbridled and irresponsible
fantasy. But the more minutely we go into all the information gathered
by man about the Moon, the more we are convinced that there is not a
single fact to rule out our supposition. Not only that, but many
things so far considered to be lunar enigmas are explainable in the
light of this new hypothesis.
 
AN ARTIFICIAL SPUTNIK OF THE EARTH?
 
The origin of the Moon is one of the most complicated problems of
cosmogony. So far there have been basically three hypotheses under
discussion.
 
HYPOTHESIS I. The Moon was once a part of the Earth and broke away
from it.
This has now been refuted by the evidence.
 
HYPOTHESIS II. The Moon was formed independently from the same cloud
of dust and gas as the Earth, and immediately became the Earth's
natural satellite.
 
But then why is there such a big difference between the specific
gravity of the Moon (3.33 grammes per cubic centimetre) and that of
the Earth (5.5 gr.)? Furthermore, according to the latest information
(analysis of samples brought back by the U.S. Apollo astronauts) lunar
rock is not of the same composition as the Earth's.
 
HYPOTHESIS III. The Moon came into being separately, and, moreover,
far from the Earth (perhaps even outside the Solar system).
This would mean that the moon would not have to be fashioned from the
same "clay" as our own planet. Sailing through the Universe, the Moon
came into Earth's proximity, and by a complex interplay of forces of
gravity was brought within a geocentric orbit, very close to circular.
But a catch of this kind is virtually impossible.
In fact, scientists studying the origin of the Universe today have no
acceptable theory to explain how the Earth-Moon system came into being.
 
OUR HYPOTHESIS: The Moon is an artificial Earth satellite put into
orbit around the Earth by some intelligent beings unknown to ourselves.
We refuse to engage in speculation about who exactly staged this
unique experiment, which only a highly developed civilisation was
capable of.
 
A NOAH'S ARK?
If you are going to launch an artificial sputnik, then it is advisable
to make it hollow. At the same time it would be naive to imagine that
anyone capable of such a tremendous space project would be satisfied
simply with some kind of giant empty trunk hurled into a near-Earth
trajectory.
 
It is more likely that what we have here is a very ancient spaceship,
the interior of which was filled with fuel for the engines, materials
and appliances for repair work, navigation, instruments, observation
equipment and all manner of machinery... in other words, everything
necessary to enable this "caravelle of the Universe" to serve as a
kind of Noah's Ark of intelligence, perhaps even as the home of a
whole civilisation envisaging a prolonged (thousands of millions of
years) existence and long wanderings through space (thousands of
millions of miles).
 
Naturally, the hull of such a spaceship must be super-tough in order
to stand up to the blows of meteorites and sharp fluctuations between
extreme heat and extreme cold. Probably the shell is a double-layered
affair--the basis a dense armouring of about 20 miles in thickness,
and outside it some kind of more loosely packed covering (a thinner
layer--averaging about three miles). In certain areas--where the lunar
"seas" and "craters" are, the upper layer is quite thin, in some
cases, non-existent.
 
Since the Moon's diameter is 2,162 miles, then looked at from our
point of view it is a thin-walled sphere. And, understandably, not an
empty one. There could be all kinds of materials and equipment on its
inner surface. But the greatest proportion of the lunar mass is
concentrated in the central part of the sphere, in its core, which has
a diameter of 2,062 miles.
 
Thus the distance between the kernel and the shell of this nut is in
the region of 30 miles. This space was doubtless filled with gases
required for breathing, and for technological and other purposes.
With such an internal structure the Moon could have an average
specific gravity if 3.3 grammes per cubic centimetre, which differs
considerably from that of Earth (5.5 grammes per cubic centimetre).
 
A BATTLESHIP THEY COULDN'T TORPEDO?
 
The most numerous and interesting of the formations on the lunar
surface are the craters. In diameter they vary considerably. Some are
less that a yard across, while others are more than 120 miles (the
biggest has a diameter of 148 miles). How does the Moon come to be so
pockmarked?
 
There are two hypothesis--volcanic and meteoric. Most scientists vote
for the latter.
 
Kirill Stanyukovich, a Soviet physicist, has written a whole series of
works since 1937 in which he expounds the idea that the craters are
the result of bombardment of the Moon for millions of years. And he
really means bombardment, for even the smallest celestial body, when
it is involved in one of those fastest head-on collisions so common in
the cosmos behaves itself like a warhead charged with dynamite, or
even an atomic warhead at times. Instant combustion takes place on
impact, turning it into a dense cloud of incandescent gas, into
plasma, and there is a very definite explosion.
 
According to Professor Stanykovich, a "missile" of a sizable character
(say 6 miles in diameter) must, on collision with the Moon, penetrate
to a depth equal to 4 or 5 times its own diameter (24-30 miles).
The surprising thing is that however big the meteorites may have been
which have fallen on the Moon (some have been more than 60 miles in
diameter), and however fast they must have been travelling (in some
cases the combined speed was as much as 38 miles per second), the
craters they have left behind are for some odd reason all about the
same depth, 1.2-2 miles, although they vary tremendously in diameter.
Take that 148-mile diameter crater. In area it outdoes Hiroshima
hundreds of times over. What a powerful explosion it must have been to
send millions of tons of lunar rock fountaining over tens of miles! On
the face of it, one would expect to find a very deep crater here, but
nothing of the sort: there is three miles at the most between top and
bottom levels, and one third of that is accounted for by the wall of
rock thrown up around the crater like a toothed crown.
 
For such a big hole, it is too shallow. Furthermore, the bottom of the
crater is convex, following the curve of the lunar surface. If you
were to stand in the middle of the crater you would not even be able
to see the soaring edge-- it would be beyond the horizon. A hollow
that is more like a hill is a rather strange affair, perhaps.
 
Not really, if one assumes that when the meteorite strikes the outer
covering of the moon, this plays the role of a buffer and the foreign
body finds itself up against an impenetrable spherical barrier. Only
slightly denting the 20-mile layer of armour plating, the explosion
flings bits of its "coating" far and wide.
 
Bearing in mind that the Moon's defence coating is, according to our
calculations, 2.5 miles thick, one sees that this is approximately the
maximum depth of the craters.
 
A SPACESHIP COME TO GRIEF?
 
Now let us consider the chemical peculiarities of the lunar rock. Upon
analysis, American scientists have found chromium, titanium and
zirconium in it. These are all metals with refractory, mechanically
strong and anti-corrosive properties. A combination of them all would
have envitable resistance to heat and the ability to stand up to means
of aggression, and could be used on Earth for linings for electrical
furnaces.
 
If a material had to be devised to protect a giant artificial
satellite from the unfavourable effects of temperature, from cosmic
radiation and meteorite bombardment, the experts would probably have
hit on precisely these metals. In that case it is not clear why lunar
rock is such an extraordinarily poor heat conductor--a factor which so
amazed the astronauts? Wasn't that what the designers of the
super-sputnik of the Earth were after?
 
From the engineers point of view, this spaceship of ages long past
which we call the Moon is superbly constructed. There may be a good
reason for its extreme longevity. It is even possible that it predates
our own planet. At any rate, some pieces of lunar rock have proved
older than the oldest on Earth, although it is true, this applies to
the age of the materials and not of the structure for which they were
used. And from the number of craters on its surface, the Moon itself
is no chicken.
 
It is, of course, difficult to say when it began to shine in the sky
above the Earth, but on the basis of some preliminary estimates one
might hazard a guess that it was around two thousand million years ago.
We do not, of course, imagine that the moon is still inhabited, and
probably many of its automatic devices have stopped working, too. The
stabilisers have ceased functioning and the poles have shifted. Even
though the moon keeps that same side turned towards us, for some time
it has been unsteady on its own axis, on occasion showing us part of
its reverse side which were once invisible to observers on the
Earth--for example, the Selenites themselves if they made expeditions
here.
 
Time has taken its toll. Both body and rigging have disintegrated to
some extent; some seams on the inner shell evidently diverged. We
assume that the long (up to 940 miles) chains of small craters
formerly ascribed to volcanic activity were brought about by eruptions
of gas through cracks appearing in the armour plating as a result of
accidents.
 
No doubt one of the most splendid features of the lunarscape--a
straight "wall" nearly 500 yards high and over 60 miles long--formed
as a result of one of the armour plates bending under the impact of
celestial torpedoes and raising one of its straight, even edges.
The Moon's population presumeably took the necessary steps to remedy
the effects of meteorite bombardment, for example, patching up rents
in the outer shield covering the inner shell. For such purposes a
substance from the lunar core was probably used, a kind a cement being
made from it. After processing this would be piped to the surface
sites where it was required.
 
Not long ago astronomers discovered variations in the gravitational
fields near the large "seas". We believe the reason to be this: the
Moon's dry seas are in fact areas from which the protective coating
was torn from the armour cladding. To make good the damage to these
vast tracts, the installation producing the repair substance would
have had to be brought immediately beneath the site so that it could
flood the area with is "cement". The resulting flat stretches are what
look like seas to the terrestrial observer.
 
The stocks of materials and machinery for doing this are no doubt
still where they were, and are sufficiently massive to give rise to
these gravitational anomalies.
 
What is the Moon today? Is it a colossal necropolis, a "city of the
dead," where some form of life became extinct? Is it a kind cosmic
Flying Dutchman? A craft abandoned by its crew and controlled
automatically? We do not know and we shall not try to guess.
 
WAITING FOR THE EVIDENCE
 
We have put forward in this article only a few of the
reasons--unfortunately the evidence is so far only circumstantial--for
our hypothesis, which at first glance may appear to be crazy.
A similar "crazy" idea was put forward in 1959 by Professor Iosif
Shklovsky, an eminent scientist, in relation to the "moons" circling
around Mars. After carefully weighing up the evidence he concludes
that they are both hollow and therefore artificial satellites.
We feel that the questions we have raised in connection with our Moon
provide sufficient food for serious thought on the matter; the result
may be the illumination of our many lunar riddles.
Now, of course, we have to wait for direct evidence to support our
idea. Or refute it.
 
Probably there will not be long to wait.

STRANGE MOON FACTS
 
Compiled by Ronald Regehr, the Alien Chaser
 
The moon is the Rosetta stone of the planets."  -- Robert Jastrow, First
Chairman, NASA Lunar Exploration Committee
 
After hundreds of years of detailed observation and study, our closest
companion in the vast universe, Earth's moon, remains an enigma. Six
moon landings and hundreds of experiments have resulted in more
questions being asked than answered. Among them:
 
1. Moon's Age: The moon is far older than previously expected. Maybe
even older than the Earth or the Sun. The oldest age for the Earth is
estimated to be 4.6 billion years old; moon rocks were dated at 5.3
billion years old, and the dust upon which they were resting was at
least another billion years older.
 
2. Rock's Origin: The chemical composition of the dust upon which the
rocks sat differed remarkably from the rocks themselves, contrary to
accepted theories that the dust resulted from weathering and breakup
of the rocks themselves. The rocks had to have come from somewhere else.
 
3. Heavier Elements on Surface: Normal planetary composition results
in heavier elements in the core and lighter materials at the surface;
not so with the moon. According to Wilson, "The abundance of
refractory elements like titanium in the surface areas is so
pronounced that several geologists proposed the refractory compounds
were brought to the moon's surface in great quantity in some unknown
way. They don't know how, but that it was done cannot be questioned."
(Emphasis added).
 
4. Water Vapor: On March 7, 1971, lunar instruments placed by the
astronauts recorded a vapor cloud of water passing across the surface
of the moon. The cloud lasted 14 hours and covered an area of about
100 square miles.
 
5. Magnetic Rocks: Moon rocks were magnetized. This is odd because
there is no magnetic field on the moon itself. This could not have
originated from a "close call" with Earth—such an encounter would have
ripped the moon apart.
 
6. No Volcanoes: Some of the moon's craters originated internally, yet
there is no indication that the moon was ever hot enough to produce
volcanic eruptions.
 
7. Moon Mascons: Mascons, which are large, dense, circular masses
lying twenty to forty miles beneath the centers of the moon's maria,
"are broad, disk-shaped objects that could be possibly some kind of
artificial construction. For huge circular disks are not likely to be
beneath each huge maria, centered like bull's-eyes in the middle of
each, by coincidence or accident." (Emphasis added).
 
8. Seismic Activity: Hundreds of "moonquakes" are recorded each year
that cannot be attributed to meteor strikes. In November, 1958, Soviet
astronomer Nikolay A. Kozyrev of the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory
photographed a gaseous eruption of the moon near the crater Alphonsus.
He also detected a reddish glow that lasted for about an hour. In
1963, astronomers at the Lowell Observatory also saw reddish glows on
the crests of ridges in the Aristarchus region. These observations
have proved to be precisely identical and periodical, repeating
themselves as the moon moves closer to the Earth. These are probably
not natural phenomena.
 
9. Hollow Moon: The moon's mean density is 3.34 gm/cm3 (3.34 times an
equal volume of water) whereas the Earth's is 5.5. What does this
mean? In 1962, NASA scientist Dr. Gordon MacDonald stated, "If the
astronomical data are reduced, it is found that the data require that
the interior of the moon is more like a hollow than a homogeneous
sphere." Nobel chemist Dr. Harold Urey suggested the moon's reduced
density is because of large areas inside the moon where is "simply a
cavity." MIT's Dr. Sean C. Solomon wrote, "the Lunar Orbiter
experiments vastly improved our knowledge of the moon's gravitational
field . . . indicating the frightening possibility that the moon might
be hollow." In Carl Sagan's treatise, Intelligent Life in the
Universe, the famous astronomer stated, "A natural satellite cannot be
a hollow object."
 
10. Moon Echoes: On November 20, 1969, the Apollo 12 crew jettisoned
the lunar module ascent stage causing it to crash onto the moon. The
LM's impact (about 40 miles from the Apollo 12 landing site) created
an artificial moonquake with startling characteristics—the moon
reverberated like a bell for more than an hour. This phenomenon was
repeated with Apollo 13 (intentionally commanding the third stage to
impact the moon), with even more startling results. Seismic
instruments recorded that the reverberations lasted for three hours
and twenty minutes and traveled to a depth of twenty-five miles,
leading to the conclusion that the moon has an unusually light - or even
no - core.
 
11. Unusual Metals: The moon's crust is much harder than presumed.
Remember the extreme difficulty the astronauts encountered when they
tried to drill into the maria? Surprise! The maria is composed
primarily illeminite, a mineral containing large amounts of titanium,
the same metal used to fabricate the hulls of deep-diving submarines
and the skin of the SR-71 "Blackbird". Uranium 236 and neptunium 237
(elements not found in nature on Earth) were discovered in lunar
rocks, as were rustproof iron particles.
 
12. Moon's Origin: Before the astronauts' moon rocks conclusively
disproved the theory, the moon was believed to have originated when a
chunk of Earth broke off eons ago (who knows from where?). Another
theory was that the moon was created from leftover "space dust"
remaining after the Earth was created. Analysis of the composition of
moon rocks disproved this theory also. Another popular theory is that
the moon was somehow "captured" by the Earth's gravitational
attraction. But no evidence exists to support this theory. Isaac
Asimov, stated, "It's too big to have been captured by the Earth. The
chances of such a capture having been effected and the moon then
having taken up nearly circular orbit around our Earth are too small
to make such an eventuality credible."
 
13. Weird Orbit: Our moon is the only moon in the solar system that
has a stationary, near-perfect circular orbit. Stranger still, the
moon's center of mass is about 6000 feet closer to the Earth than its
geometric center (which should cause wobbling), but the moon's bulge
is on the far side of the moon, away from the Earth. "Something" had
to put the moon in orbit with its precise altitude, course, and speed.
 
14. Moon Diameter: How does one explain the "coincidence" that the
moon is just the right distance, coupled with just the right diameter,
to completely cover the sun during an eclipse? Again, Isaac Asimov
responds, "There is no astronomical reason why the moon and the sun
should fit so well. It is the sheerest of coincidences, and only the
Earth among all the planets is blessed in this fashion."
 
15. Spaceship Moon: As outrageous as the Moon-Is-a-Spaceship Theory
is, all of the above items are resolved if one assumes that the moon
is a gigantic extraterrestrial craft, brought here eons ago by
intelligent beings. This is the only theory that is supported by all
of the data, and there are no data that contradict this theory.
Greek authors Aristotle and Plutarch, and Roman authors Apolllonius
Rhodius and Ovid all wrote of a group of people called the Proselenes
who lived in the central mountainous area of Greece called Arcadia. The
Proselenes claimed title to this area because their forebears were
there "before there was a moon in the heavens." This claim is
substantiated by symbols on the wall of the Courtyard of Kalasasaya,
near the city of Tiahuanaco, Bolivia, which record that the moon came
into orbit around the Earth between 11,500 and 13, 000 years ago, long
before recorded history.
 
1. Ages of Flashes: Aristarchus, Plato, Eratosthenes, Biela, Rabbi
Levi, and Posidonius all reported anomalous lights on the moon. NASA,
one year before the first lunar landing, reported 570+ lights and
flashes were observed on the moon from 1540 to 1967.
 
2. Operation Moon Blink: NASA's Operation Moon Blink detected 28 lunar
events in a relatively short period of time.
 
3. Lunar Bridge: On July 29, 1953, John J. O'Neill observed a
12-mile-long bridge straddling the crater Mare Crisium. In August,
British astronomer Dr. H.P. Wilkens verified its presence, "It looks
artificial. It's almost incredible that such a thing could have been
formed in the first instance, or if it was formed, could have lasted
during the ages in which the moon has been in existence.
 
4. The Shard: The Shard, an obelisk-shaped object that towers 1½ miles
from the Ukert area of the moon's surface, was discovered by Orbiter 3
in 1968. Dr. Bruce Cornet, who studied the amazing photographs,
stated, "No known natural process can explain such a structure."
5. The Tower: One of the most curious features ever photographed on
the Lunar surface (Lunar Orbiter photograph III-84M) is an amazing
spire that rises more than 5 miles from the Sinus Medii region of the
lunar surface.
 
6. The Obelisks: Lunar Orbiter II took several photographs in November
1966 that showed several obelisks, one of which was more than 150 feet
tall. ". . . the spires were arranged in precisely the same was as the
apices of the three great pyramids."
