For anyone who is into a bit of conspiracy theory, it’s not too hard to find some good source material in the modern world. Conspiracies exist in every single avenue of life these days, with people from all over the world holding various views and opinions on things that “must” have happened. Conspiracies have, obviously, blown up since the internet and especially since the advent of things like blogging and social media. It gives people the chance to present the truth or various facts to the public in a manner they never would have been able to in the past.

    Human fancy has such a dark side. The same part of the brain that thinks up universes (think “Harry Potter”, etc) or symphonies is the same thing that makes others believe, or at least consider, giving weight to “the spooky”.

    It’s so depressing.

    • youknowwho says:

      Human arrogance has such a dark side. The same part of the ego that summarily dismisses conspiracy theories, is the same part of the ego that tries to make others believe, or at least consider, that the official narrative is the final word.

      It’s so depressing

  • Ed says:

    I believe Apollo 18 mission was true. There are some things that should be kept a secret but not at the expense of keeping the public in the dark. Man is not stupid and if there is life on the moon…why wouldn’t we as a society work together to farther investigate and understand.

    • Carolyn says:

      Yuval Harari: Mankind is stupid and their power makes them dangerous.

      Me: We think up disasters much more easily than feats of genius, love, beauty or harmony. When such genius, beauty, love or harmony manages to occur, we immediately attempt to kill it, I’m thinking, out of our jealousy.

  • Ronald says:

    There WAS an Apollo 18. It was the Apollo-Soyez mission in 1975.

  • ray hemmelman says:

    sooo are you saying Apollo 18 is for real? something DID happen? I saw the movie it was creepy good makes you wonder

  • Nicholas M. says:

    “We send space shuttles out every single day that chase meteors and land wherever they please.”
    1. Space shuttles never launched every single day!
    2. Space shuttles never based meteors. The placed satellites in orbit, maintained some of them, and later brought people and material to the ISS, the International Space Station.
    3. Space Shuttles only landed in one place: Earth! They docked with the ISS and some satellites, but never landed elsewhere.

    While Government cover ups are certainly a reality, this article is so poorly written – both from a factual and linguistic perspective – that it only makes me more sceptic about Alien contact and conspiracy theories.
    Too bad, since the topic is fascinating…

    • Elle Jay says:

      Space Shuttles land in two places. California is the alternate landing site. They bring it back to Florida on the back of a jet. I have seen it myself.

  • MarshallMalik says:

    I don’t really understand I mean its weird

  • Martin bates says:

    Just saw your posting. The best observations can be had from the latest chang-e Rover mission simply because electronic images are excellent. Spend an hour per day for several weeks zooming in on a certain type of lunar rock. Not the Grey rocks but those with some, very little color to them. Pick out one and zoom in. You will find a face, never two alike, and, if you are lucky enough to find the identical rock in another photo you may find that has moved. Sometimes you will even see drag(foot?) lines it be lunar soil.

    I can visit with you about apollo if you begin to see this

    Almost a year ago I began looking at old NASA orbiter, Rover, Apollo, and Chinese Chang-e photos. Months before ever hearing of this movie it became obvious to me that most of the “facial rock carvings” that people are seeing on Mars are, just as the moon, living creatures.

    The reasons are numerous and outside the scope of this posting. After consuming this data I firmly believe these creatures are custom made by higher aliens. In short, no two rocks are the same and many of these creatures make no sense. Some have no apparent method of moving and appear to spend their lives buried in the lunar soil. Finally, NASA knew of these rocks, at the latest, by apollo 13.

    • Doctor Reznov says:

      Mr. Martin
      My name is Doctor Reznov. I am ecstatic about your observations and was wondering if you could explain more on your theory’s I have been studying Lunar Sediments for almost a decade and would like to enlightened by your observations

      • Martin bates says:

        I only now read your reply and left more information at the site. If I can help further please respond.

      • Martin bates says:

        This one page of images will show an apparent old pile of rocks gradually peel off and leave in presence of Chinese Rover.

    Apollo 18 mission was real. Now if u search Apollo 18 cast from that movie, some actor plays a guy named “John Grey” some people said that Apollo 18, 19, 20 were ‘canceled’…. Wait! It wasn’t canceled because John grey himself could have played in the movie himself, but where is he? Exactly he’s dead when he went on the mission. If the missions were canceled then why would they make a random alien movie, starring one out of 4 men, John Grey? See. The landing of Apollo 18 is true!!!
