NASA/JPL Moon and Mars Photos: An Unappreciated Resource in the Battle for Disclosure

For almost as long as human beings have been sending artificial satellites into space, we have been sending up artificial satellites which carry cameras. These invaluable tools now routinely capture the formation of galaxies as well as the surfaces of neighboring and distant planets, moons, and asteroids. We both learn from such photographs and appreciate them for their wonder and beauty. But among the countless images taken from our spacecraft over the past decades, there continue to be a percentage which NASA/JPL prefer that we not see, and that if we do see, not dwell upon. These are the images which strongly indicate the presence of structures of varying sorts on the surface of the Moon and Mars, among other planetary bodies. These seemingly in the form of buildings, towers, transit-ways, and artifacts.
In this well-illustrated presentation, Peter Robbins turns, or returns our attention to a neglected but significant area of investigation, this while reminding us that it is human nature to seek out recognizable imagery in the randomness of nature, be it in the form of a cloud shaped like a lamb or a human profile in a rock formation. The condition, Pareidolia, is important to acknowledge when reviewing such imagery. With the advent of Photoshop, no picture is safe from alterations, and alterations there are some of the NASA/JPL images– alterations which could have been made prior to their public release. The implications of these images are formidable. An enhanced public awareness of their documented reality has the potential to accelerate the process we’ve come to call Disclosure. To paraphrase the late, great ufologist and nuclear physicist, Stanton T Friedman, the question is not, do such photographic anomalies represent actual buildings, construction activity, mining operations, towers, settlements, bases and even smaller objects of one kind or another. The question is, do any of them convincingly demonstrate these allegations? The answer to which is yes.
