Hoagland represents many things to many people. My personal epiphany with Hoagland occurred many years ago when I got a chance to personally view a duplicate of 120mm negative that Hoagland analyzed. The original negative was taken by Apollo astronauts as they circled the moon. I believe it was the Apollo 14 mission. Hoagland spent a great deal of time "analyzing" what he interpreted to be a strange anomaly that seemed to be on the surface of Mare Crisium. Richard seemed convinced Mare Crisium contained an artificially constructed tower... a HUGE tower. When I viewed a copy of this negative, I had to admit that at first glance it did look like a massive tower. The "tower" was so huge that it would have been impossible for the Apollo astronauts NOT to have spotted or to have commented on it many times as they orbited above Mare Crisium. Of course, the fact that the astronauts apparently DIDN'T comment on what they saw within Mare Crisium only added more fuel to exciting conspiracy theories. Obviously, the astronauts must have been sworn to secrecy. Whatever... Meanwhile, within seconds after I viewed the negative I noticed that there appeared to be several other strange artifacts nearby. These other artifacts also looked like they could be "towers." What was even more interesting was the fact that all these other artifacts where aligned in an exact same parallel angle with the original "tower." But these other towers were located on other spots on the moon where the visual 3-D perspective as well as the natural curvature of the surface of the moon would have changed their parallel alignment as perceived by the camera. These other "tower" artifacts, to have been actually towers should NOT be in an exact parallel angle with the original "tower." And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. The original "tower" was nothing more than a simple scratch in the emulsion of the film. Someone got careless when they were handling the original negative and they ended up inducing several parallel scratches upon the surface in several locations. Those scratches was then faithfully duplicated in all the rest of the negatives. I was astonished that Mr. Hoagland, with all of his presumed analytic abilities, appeared to have been incapable of diagnosing a simple emulsion scratch on the surface of a negative. That pretty much told me everything I needed to know about how far I should take any of Hoagland's speculative theories. Despite what I personally concluded was Hoagland's inexcusable misinterpretation I must confess that Mare Crisium ITSELF remains a fascinating mystery. For the curious please take a look at some of the following images of the Mare. Of particular interest are the first three photos in the top row. The shape of Mare Crisium is unmistakably hexagonal. Is this hexagonal shape just a coincidence? A mere artifact of shadow and other natural events that somehow conspired to make such an interesting shape? Some have speculated that perhaps there was some artificial work-at-hand. If so, some speculation suggests that such work-at-hand most likely occurred billions of years ago when our Moon was much younger, while life on our Earth was probably no more advanced than single cell protozoa. Could there have been an observational post on Crisium? Was it possible that someone was watching us, wondering what might eventually come out of that gooey soup some day???? Who knows. ;-) Enjoy the show! http://images.google.com/images?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=mare+crisium&um=1&ie= UTF-8&ei=yv07S-XGEobmM6WyzYwJ&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=4&v ed=0CB4QsAQwAw http://tinyurl.com/ybh6cqy Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
