In 1899, Nikola Tesla believed he had intercepted a message
from the stars. He was experimenting with a high
frequency receiver, an early design for long range radio
transmission. But what came through wasn't
static. It was patterned, repetitive.

Decades later, other radio operators reported.
Hearing something similar, Bursts of unexplained
transmissions, unmapped frequencies.
It didn't stop there in 1950. 4 Newspapers across the US
reported that the Air Force had detected 2 satellites.
Orbiting Earth, but at the time,no country on Earth.

Had the capability. To launch anything into space.
Sputnik wouldn't launch for another 3.
Years. So what?
Were they tracking? The object was dark.
It moved in a polar orbit, something impossible with the
propulsion systems of the time. Polar orbits aren't designed for
communication, they're built forsurveillance.
(01:13):
The object didn't match any known satellite, and it didn't
respond to any known frequency. Some dismissed it as
misidentified. Debris.
Others called it ancient. It would later be named the
Black Knight Satellite, but longbefore that there was another
reference. Stranger, older, A Quatron

It's hard to ignore how closely the language fits a machine in
orbit, not ours, waiting to be found in 1998 during the STS. 88
(02:00):

photographed something that shouldn't have been there.
A large irregular. Object hanging in low Earth
orbit, angular. Black.
NASA labeled it a piece of insulation that had come loose,

Watchers, if it's real. If it's what some believe it is,
then we've been under surveillance since before we
(02:45):
knew how to look back in October2017, Astronomers at the
university. Of Hawaii.
Detected something strange. A long, thin object was moving
through the solar. System.
It wasn't in orbit, it wasn't from here.
(03:06):
This was. The first time humanity had ever
observed something from interstellar space entering our
system, they named it Umwamua, aHawaiian word meaning a
messenger from afar arriving first.
But the name only deepened the questions.
It didn't behave like a comet. There was no tail.
(03:27):
No out gassing, it was rotating.Erratically every 8 hours.
Then as it passed the sun. It accelerated.
No known physics could explain how it changed course, not
without propulsion. And yet Umwamua didn't emit
heat, radiation or chemical discharge.
(03:48):
No evidence of fuel, just motionunexplained.
Precise. Some scientists said it was
natural, a fragment from anothersolar system, but others weren't
convinced. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb
published a paper. Suggesting that Umuamua might be
artificial. A solar sail.
(04:09):
A derelict probe. Technology from another
civilization sent to explore or monitor.
Loeb was ridiculed. But he wasn't dismissed.
Even the team that first spottedit admitted they had never seen
anything like it before. The shape was unprecedented.
Its brightness varied tenfold, suggesting an object long and
(04:33):
thin, possibly metallic. Then it was gone, back into the
black. No follow up, no second chance.
Just a brief passage A. Flyby That left more questions
than answers. If it was a probe.
Who sent it? And.
What was it looking for? The strangest anomaly of all
(05:06):
might be the one we see every night, The moon.
It feels familiar, constant, butit's anything but ordinary for.
Starters. It's too big.
A moon this large shouldn't orbit a planet our size.
It's an outlier. In fact, no other moon in the
solar system behaves. Quite like ours, it's perfectly
(05:28):
placed. Perfectly round, perfectly
synchronized 1. Face always facing.
Us we never. See the far.
Side not from Earth. And then there's the sound.
During the Apollo missions, seismic charges were detonated
on the surface. The moon rang.
(05:49):
Not like a rock. Like a bell.
Vibrations. Echoed for hours.
Leading some scientists to conclude that the moon's crust
is unusually light and its. Core possibly hollow.
Hollow moons aren't natural and yet.
That's the best. Explanation we have.
Add to that the reports. Rumors of structures on the far
(06:11):
side, angular formations, shadows that don't match.
Craters Photos redacted. Missions cut short, Some
astronauts spoke. About it.
After they returned, others didn't speak at all.
And there's one more question. Most people never.
Ask where? Did the moon come from?
(06:31):
Mainstream science says it was formed by a collision, a chunk
of Earth knocked into orbit. But that.
Theory has problems. The moon's composition is too
different and too similar. At the same time, it doesn't
quite add up some ancient myths.Speak.
Of a time before the moon existed.
(06:52):
A sky without it so. If it wasn't formed naturally.
Was it placed? Was it brought here by?
Someone or something long beforewe arrived.
We've been staring at it for thousands of years, but maybe
it's been staring back. The ancient Greek philosopher
(07:40):
Democritus. Wrote of a.
Time when the Earth was without the moon, His contemporary and
Axagoras. Also described a period.
Before the moon appeared in the heavens, the Arcadians a pre
Hellenic. People of Greece.
Were known as the procelenes literally meaning?
Those who lived. Before the moon, Greek historian
(08:02):
Apollonius of Rhodes noted that the Arcadians were considered so
ancient. They were said to have lived
before. The moon hung in the.
Sky in. Colombia.
The Indians. Of the Bogota Highlands, told
Early. Spanish chroniclers about a time
when the moon hadn't yet risen. They spoke of a great.
Catastrophe a shift? In the heavens, after which the
(08:24):
moon. Appeared the Zulu people of
South Africa. Hold similar stories.
According to Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa, Zulu legends hold the
belief that the moon is hollow and serves as the home of the
Python or Hitauri reptilians, a race of intelligent
extraterrestrials. According to these legends, the
(08:48):
moon was brought to Earth hundreds of generations ago.
By two brothers. Woe Wayne and Meepanku.
Who were the leaders of these? Reptilian extraterrestrials.
These two brothers. Known as the.
Water brothers possess. Scaly skin resembling that of a.
Fish. This tale bears a.
(09:09):
Striking resemblance to the Mesopotamia and Sumerian
accounts of the two chief. Leader Brothers.
N Lil and Enki. Lords of the Earth credo.
Mutwa continues to narrate the Zulu legends, recounting how
Wowan and Impanku stole the moonin the form of an egg from the
Great Fire Dragon they then emptied.
(09:30):
Out the yoke. Transforming the moon into a
hollow. Sphere.
Subsequently, they rolled the moon.
Across the sky. Causing cataclysmic events on
Earth that marked the end of theGolden Age.
Of the past. In the papal.
Vu, the sacred. Book of the Maya The moon is
tied to a cosmic drama, a shift in the world.
(09:52):
'S structure. A reordering of time In the
myths of the Cherokee, the moon came after the first people who
lived in darkness and heat. Before light, before the sky.
Changed over and over again, these traditions point to the
same idea that something changed, that the sky wasn't
(10:13):
always like. This.
And that the arrival of the moonwas a cosmic intervention, but
by. Who?
And for what purpose some believe it was.
Brought here to stabilize Earth's.
Rotation. Others believe it was.
Placed to monitor us. But the stories don't end with
placement. They hint at something deeper,
(10:33):
That the moon might not just be watching us, it might be
controlling something. In 1969, humanity stepped onto
(11:01):
another. World, or so we're told for
decades. Some have claimed we never made
it, that the moon landings were faked.
But what if the? Truth is stranger than either.
Story what if we did go but whatwe.
Found was so shocking it was never meant to be made public.
(11:23):
Millions of people around the world.
Watched a blurry. Transmission from another world
Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin the first men to walk on the surface
of the moon, a giant leap for mankind.
But almost as soon as the momentwas celebrated, questions began
to. Surface Why does?
(11:43):
Some of the. Footage look staged over the
years. These anomalies gave.
Rise to a theory that refuses todie.
That the moon landing was faked.That it was.
Staged on Earth. Part of a Cold War.
Propaganda campaign to. Beat the Soviets, but what if
the reality? Is more complicated.
(12:04):
What if the? Problem isn't that we didn't.
Go, but that. When we got there, we found
something that couldn't be shownto the public.
Think about it. If.
Apollo 11 had encountered something unexpected, something
impossible. What would NASA have done?
They had to show success. They had to.
(12:26):
Deliver the moon to the world. But maybe what they found
couldn't be explained. Maybe the?
Footage was altered. Edited.
Sanitized the anomalies that skeptics point.
To the. Strange lighting, the missing
stars, the inconsistencies. They might not be evidence of a
hoax. They might be evidence of a
(12:47):
cover up. Evidence that when humanity
first set foot on another. World We.
Weren't alone, I. Think perhaps the final descent
(13:08):
to the lunar surface was, for methe highlight of the flight.
It was very challenging, a lot of unknowns and it was for a
pilot that it was a wonderful experience.
The astronauts who walked on themoon only explored A narrow
slice. Of its surface.
(13:30):
Always the same. Side.
The side that faces Earth. But what about the far side?
The moon is. Tidally locked.
One hemisphere permanently turned away from Earth.
We never see it, not directly when the first images of the.
Far side. Were transmitted.
Back to Earth by Soviet. Probes in the late 1950s and 19.
(13:53):
60s, they showed. Something unexpected Craters.
Yes, but also. Strange formations Angular.
Structures. Towering Spires objects that
didn't match the random impact patterns seen elsewhere.
Some photographs showed patterns, grids.
Rows of. Shapes so geometric they seem to
(14:15):
defy natural explanation. Then there are the missing
images. Entire regions of the moon's far
side where photographs are conveniently low resolution,
blurred or simply missing. Declassified internal NASA
documents mention the use of airbrushing, altering.
Photographs before public release.
(14:36):
To remove sensitive. Details.
Insiders, whistleblowers, even contractors have spoken
anonymously. Over the years.
They claim there are structures on the moon, Massive ones.
Not craters, not natural formations.
Artificial constructs, some resembling towers rising miles.
(14:56):
Above the surface. Others resembling domes,
pyramids, even the ruins of vastcomplexes.
If these claims are true. They.
Raise a chilling possibility that the moon isn't just a
satellite. It's a relic.
A monument left behind by a civilization that predates.
Ours or a forward base? Still watching, still waiting.
(15:27):
Officially the Apollo. Missions were a triumph of
engineering, precise, clinical, successful, but behind the
official. Story.
There are other accounts, accounts that suggest the
missions encountered something unexpected, something not human.
During the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts reported strange
(15:51):
objects shadowing their craft. Buzz Aldrin himself later
admitted they saw something following them, an object
tumbling alongside their trajectory, changing speed,
changing direction. NASA dismissed it.
Debris. Ice.
A reflection, but the incident was quietly.
Classified for decades. Then there's the rumored off
(16:14):
radio transmissions recordings said to have been intercepted by
amateur HAM radio operators listening in on the secret NASA
channels, according. To these leaks.
When Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface,
they found more than just rocks.Armstrong's alleged
transmission. They're here.
(16:36):
They're watching us. We were warned off.
I can't go into detail. But their.
Ships were enormous and intimidating.
These communications were. Supposedly suppressed broadcast.
Only to mission Control's private channel.
Other Apollo missions reported similar anomalies.
(16:58):
Apollo 15 Apollo 16 Apollo 17 Strange lights unexplained radio
noise sightings of. Structures just.
Beyond their landing zones and there were other warnings,
rumors of unmanned probes that failed mysteriously when
orbiting the far side. Secret photographs.
(17:19):
From the command module that showed things machines watching
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon,
openly stated after retirement that he was convinced
extraterrestrials. Had visited.
Earth, he hinted that what the. Public was told about.
Space exploration wasn't the full story, and he wasn't alone.
(17:43):
Overtime insiders from NASA, military contractors, even
mission doctors and flight engineers.
Quietly leaked the. Same message, the moon isn't
empty. We weren't the.
First ones there and we were told not to return.
(18:09):
The moon is too. Perfect.
Its orbit, its size. Its influence on Earth's tides,
seasons and axis. All of it.
Balanced with impossible precision, its placement allows
for. Perfect solar eclipses.
Where the moon covers the sun with mathematical exactness out
of more than 200 moons in our. Solar system ours.
(18:31):
Is the only one that creates that kind of.
Effect the. Odds of this happening by chance
are beyond astronomical. And yet there it is, locked in
perfect position, always showingthe same face.
A tidal anchor. A stabilizer.
Without the moon, Earth. Would be chaotic.
Unstable. Possibly uninhabitable.
(18:54):
So. We asked the question no one
wants to ask. Was it placed?
Here on purpose in 1972 Soviet scientists Mikhail Vasin and
Alexander Cherbakov. Published a paper titled.
Is the moon the creation of an intelligence?
In it they suggested something radical, that the moon may be
(19:16):
an. Artificial satellite, a hollow
shell created. By unknown beings and towed into
Earth's orbit in the distant past.
The theory was dismissed by mainstream science labeled as
speculative fantasy. But decades later.
Many of their arguments still remain unanswered.
(19:37):
The moon's crust is unusually hard.
The core is strangely small or missing.
Apollo seismic experiments revealed that the moon rang like
a bell for hours after impact and its internal density lower
than it should. Be as if it were hollow.
What? Kind of natural.
Object does that. Ancient cultures describe the
(19:59):
moon as arriving suddenly. As we've already.
Seen, which raises A disturbing possibility the moon may not be
natural, it may be a construct, and if.
It was built. Who built it?
Was it the same force responsible?
For the stories of the. Watchers.
The same architects behind the Black Knight.
(20:21):
Was the moon meant to stabilize Earth or monitor it?
A machine? A station?
If the Moon was built, it wasn'tbuilt by chance in ancient
traditions across. The world, there are stories.
Of beings who descended from thestars, not gods.
Watchers. In the Hebrew book of Enoch, the
watchers are. Described as powerful.
(20:42):
Entities who came down to. Earth to observe.
To intervene and eventually. To corrupt.
The Sumerians spoke of the Anunnaki, the sky born ones who
shaped human civilization. The Zulu people tell of sky.
Beings who dragged the moon into.
Orbit across. Continents the same.
(21:04):
Idea repeats visitors. Came from above.
They changed the earth and then they stayed.
If the moon was placed, could itbe their construct?
A monitoring station? A quarantine mechanism?
A tool for control? In ancient Egyptian myth, the
moon was often associated. With Thoth, the keeper of
(21:27):
secrets. And the measurer of time in the
Greek tradition, the moon goddess Celine.
Rode her chariot. Across the heavens.
But the vehicle she drove was described.
As mechanical, made of gleaming silver.
It's a device. A machine maintained and
operated by beings older than memory, some researchers.
(21:49):
Believe the watchers, whoever orwhatever they truly were.
May have placed the moon to. Stabilize Earth so to observe
its evolution, to watch us grow to.
Monitor our development to control the cycles of life and
time, and maybe to ensure that Earth never outgrows its prison.
(22:10):
In 1969, during Apollo 12 astronauts.
Deliberately crashed a. Portion of their lunar module
into the surface seismic instruments placed on the Moon.
Recorded the results. The moon rang.
Like a bell. For more than an hour,
vibrations echoed through its. Crust.
Not the short. Chaotic waves typical of a solid
(22:32):
rock. But a resonance.
As if the surface was hollow. Later experiments produced the
same. Result larger.
Impacts made it ring even longer.
Some scientists quietly admittedthey had no model that could
explain it. Then there's the matter of
density, the Moon's overall mass.
(22:52):
Is too low for its size. Its crust is disproportionately.
Thick, especially. On the far side, suggesting an
uneven manufactured shell. The core thin, small, nothing
like Earth's dense molten center.
It's as if the moon isn't natural at.
All. But a lightweight construct
(23:14):
covered in just enough rock and dust to mimic a planetary body.
Some seismic readings even hint at the presence of metallic
materials deep within the moon'sstructure, elements that don't
match the surrounding lunar. Rock.
Soviet Research. From the 1970s quietly ignored
in the. West suggested.
(23:35):
The moon might be coated with titanium alloy in certain
regions. Titanium, one of the strongest,
most heat resistant metals knownto man.
And then there are the magnetic anomalies.
Pockets of unexplained magnetismscattered.
Across the surface. Too strong, too localized.
Too structured to. Occur naturally in an otherwise
(23:57):
inert body. In the Book of Enoch, the
watchers descended from the heavens, interfering with the
natural course. Of Earth's.
Evolution In the midst of Mesoamerica, the Sky People came
down and altered the land and the heavens themselves.
Are these fragments describing the same architects?
A civilization capable of movingplanets, of constructing
(24:21):
hollowed out megastructures the size of small worlds?
Some believe the answer lies even deeper that before modern
humanity. Rose.
There was another civilization on earth, a race whose
knowledge. Reached the stars.
And when catastrophe came, when Earth was.
Reset the survivors. Left behind.
(24:42):
Traces, structures, technologies.
And maybe the moon itself. After.
(25:25):
Apollo 17 in December 1970. 2 the.
Program was over. Officially, budget cuts public
fatigue a shift. In priorities.
That's what we were told. But the truth doesn't add up.
The technology was there. The momentum was there.
NASA had already planned future missions.
(25:46):
Apollo. 18/19/20 missions that would.
Have pushed further. Across the lunar surface.
They were quietly. Cancelled the Rockets, the
modules, the blueprints, all left.
To rot. In the decades since, no human
has returned. Not the United States, not
Russia, not China, not anyone. Why, if the moon was simply a
(26:11):
dead rock, a conquered frontier,why abandon it?
Why leave it untouched for half a century?
Some say the answer was written in the silence.
We didn't stop because we couldn't afford it.
We stopped. Because we were warned off, what
the astronauts encountered forced A reckoning, A presence
already there, ancient watching,the message was.
(26:33):
Clear. You are not welcome.
You are being watched. Do not come back.
And so we didn't. The moon controls the tides.
(27:01):
It stabilizes the Earth's tilt. It shapes the very.
Rhythm of life on this planet For thousands of years, full
moons have been linked to strange behavior.
Ancient cultures warned that during certain phases, madness
would rise. The word.
Lunacy comes from Luna, the Latin word for the moon.
(27:25):
Even today, police and hospital.Records show spikes.
In violence, accidents and emergency room visits during
full moons. Sleep studies have.
Revealed that human sleep cyclesbecome disturbed near the full
moon, even when subjects. Are sealed.
Away from the sky, heart rates change.
Melatonin production drops. Something about the moon's
(27:48):
position, its gravity, its radiation, or something even
stranger seems to reach into thehuman body itself.
Ancient mythologies didn't just observe the moon.
They worshipped it. As an entity, a living being,
sometimes benevolent, sometimes hostile, the moon cycles mirror
(28:11):
biological rhythms. Menstrual cycles align almost
exactly with lunar months. Migratory patterns of animals
and fish follow its. Pull.
Some researchers now believe themoon acts as a kind of
biological tuner, amplifying certain traits, suppressing
others. Was the moon placed?
(28:32):
To help life thrive or to. Control how life.
Would develop if its arrival triggered the great.
Flood Myths. If its.
Gravitational field manipulates brain chemistry and behavior.
Then humanity may have been under lunar influence since
before we could even write our own history.
Could the moon be the machine ofthe?
(28:53):
Watchers placed deliberately. In the heavens, could the Black
Knight satellite be a communications relay linked
directly to the moon? Was Umuamua A probe sent back
from the Anunnaki to gather information from our solar
system? The moon does not just.
Observe us. It shapes us.
(29:15):
And the real question is, to what end?
(29:50):
Music. The.
(31:08):
None.

(08:24):
moon. Appeared the Zulu people of
South Africa. Hold similar stories.
According to Zulu shaman Credo Mutwa, Zulu legends hold the
belief that the moon is hollow and serves as the home of the
Python or Hitauri reptilians, a race of intelligent
extraterrestrials. According to these legends, the
(08:48):
moon was brought to Earth hundreds of generations ago.
By two brothers. Woe Wayne and Meepanku.
Who were the leaders of these? Reptilian extraterrestrials.
These two brothers. Known as the.
Water brothers possess. Scaly skin resembling that of a.
Fish. This tale bears a.
(09:09):
Striking resemblance to the Mesopotamia and Sumerian
accounts of the two chief. Leader Brothers.
N Lil and Enki. Lords of the Earth credo.
Mutwa continues to narrate the Zulu legends, recounting how
Wowan and Impanku stole the moonin the form of an egg from the
Great Fire Dragon they then emptied.
(09:30):
Out the yoke. Transforming the moon into a
hollow. Sphere.
Subsequently, they rolled the moon.
Across the sky. Causing cataclysmic events on
Earth that marked the end of theGolden Age.
Of the past. In the papal.
Vu, the sacred. Book of the Maya The moon is
tied to a cosmic drama, a shift in the world.
(09:52):
'S structure. A reordering of time In the
myths of the Cherokee, the moon came after the first people who
lived in darkness and heat. Before light, before the sky.
Changed over and over again, these traditions point to the
same idea that something changed, that the sky wasn't
(10:13):
always like. This.
And that the arrival of the moonwas a cosmic intervention, but
by. Who?
And for what purpose some believe it was.
Brought here to stabilize Earth's.
Rotation. Others believe it was.
Placed to monitor us. But the stories don't end with
placement. They hint at something deeper,
(10:33):
That the moon might not just be watching us, it might be
controlling something. In 1969, humanity stepped onto
(11:01):
another. World, or so we're told for
decades. Some have claimed we never made
it, that the moon landings were faked.
But what if the? Truth is stranger than either.
Story what if we did go but whatwe.
Found was so shocking it was never meant to be made public.
(11:23):
Millions of people around the world.
Watched a blurry. Transmission from another world
Neil Armstrong Buzz Aldrin the first men to walk on the surface
of the moon, a giant leap for mankind.
But almost as soon as the momentwas celebrated, questions began
to. Surface Why does?
(11:43):
Some of the. Footage look staged over the
years. These anomalies gave.
Rise to a theory that refuses todie.
That the moon landing was faked.That it was.
Staged on Earth. Part of a Cold War.
Propaganda campaign to. Beat the Soviets, but what if
the reality? Is more complicated.
(12:04):
What if the? Problem isn't that we didn't.
Go, but that. When we got there, we found
something that couldn't be shownto the public.
Think about it. If.
Apollo 11 had encountered something unexpected, something
impossible. What would NASA have done?
They had to show success. They had to.
(12:26):
Deliver the moon to the world. But maybe what they found
couldn't be explained. Maybe the?
Footage was altered. Edited.
Sanitized the anomalies that skeptics point.
To the. Strange lighting, the missing
stars, the inconsistencies. They might not be evidence of a
hoax. They might be evidence of a
(12:47):
cover up. Evidence that when humanity
first set foot on another. World We.
Weren't alone, I. Think perhaps the final descent
(13:08):
to the lunar surface was, for methe highlight of the flight.
It was very challenging, a lot of unknowns and it was for a
pilot that it was a wonderful experience.
The astronauts who walked on themoon only explored A narrow
slice. Of its surface.
(13:30):
Always the same. Side.
The side that faces Earth. But what about the far side?
The moon is. Tidally locked.
One hemisphere permanently turned away from Earth.
We never see it, not directly when the first images of the.
Far side. Were transmitted.
Back to Earth by Soviet. Probes in the late 1950s and 19.
(13:53):
60s, they showed. Something unexpected Craters.
Yes, but also. Strange formations Angular.
Structures. Towering Spires objects that
didn't match the random impact patterns seen elsewhere.
Some photographs showed patterns, grids.
Rows of. Shapes so geometric they seem to
(14:15):
defy natural explanation. Then there are the missing
images. Entire regions of the moon's far
side where photographs are conveniently low resolution,
blurred or simply missing. Declassified internal NASA
documents mention the use of airbrushing, altering.
Photographs before public release.
(14:36):
To remove sensitive. Details.
Insiders, whistleblowers, even contractors have spoken
anonymously. Over the years.
They claim there are structures on the moon, Massive ones.
Not craters, not natural formations.
Artificial constructs, some resembling towers rising miles.
(14:56):
Above the surface. Others resembling domes,
pyramids, even the ruins of vastcomplexes.
If these claims are true. They.
Raise a chilling possibility that the moon isn't just a
satellite. It's a relic.
A monument left behind by a civilization that predates.
Ours or a forward base? Still watching, still waiting.
(15:27):
Officially the Apollo. Missions were a triumph of
engineering, precise, clinical, successful, but behind the
official. Story.
There are other accounts, accounts that suggest the
missions encountered something unexpected, something not human.
During the Apollo 11 mission, astronauts reported strange
(15:51):
objects shadowing their craft. Buzz Aldrin himself later
admitted they saw something following them, an object
tumbling alongside their trajectory, changing speed,
changing direction. NASA dismissed it.
Debris. Ice.
A reflection, but the incident was quietly.
Classified for decades. Then there's the rumored off
(16:14):
radio transmissions recordings said to have been intercepted by
amateur HAM radio operators listening in on the secret NASA
channels, according. To these leaks.
When Armstrong and Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface,
they found more than just rocks.Armstrong's alleged
transmission. They're here.
(16:36):
They're watching us. We were warned off.
I can't go into detail. But their.
Ships were enormous and intimidating.
These communications were. Supposedly suppressed broadcast.
Only to mission Control's private channel.
Other Apollo missions reported similar anomalies.
(16:58):
Apollo 15 Apollo 16 Apollo 17 Strange lights unexplained radio
noise sightings of. Structures just.
Beyond their landing zones and there were other warnings,
rumors of unmanned probes that failed mysteriously when
orbiting the far side. Secret photographs.
(17:19):
From the command module that showed things machines watching
Astronaut Edgar Mitchell, the 6th man to walk on the moon,
openly stated after retirement that he was convinced
extraterrestrials. Had visited.
Earth, he hinted that what the. Public was told about.
Space exploration wasn't the full story, and he wasn't alone.
(17:43):
Overtime insiders from NASA, military contractors, even
mission doctors and flight engineers.
Quietly leaked the. Same message, the moon isn't
empty. We weren't the.
First ones there and we were told not to return.
(18:09):
The moon is too. Perfect.
Its orbit, its size. Its influence on Earth's tides,
seasons and axis. All of it.
Balanced with impossible precision, its placement allows
for. Perfect solar eclipses.
Where the moon covers the sun with mathematical exactness out
of more than 200 moons in our. Solar system ours.
(18:31):
Is the only one that creates that kind of.
Effect the. Odds of this happening by chance
are beyond astronomical. And yet there it is, locked in
perfect position, always showingthe same face.
A tidal anchor. A stabilizer.
Without the moon, Earth. Would be chaotic.
Unstable. Possibly uninhabitable.
(18:54):
So. We asked the question no one
wants to ask. Was it placed?
Here on purpose in 1972 Soviet scientists Mikhail Vasin and
Alexander Cherbakov. Published a paper titled.
Is the moon the creation of an intelligence?
In it they suggested something radical, that the moon may be
(19:16):
an. Artificial satellite, a hollow
shell created. By unknown beings and towed into
Earth's orbit in the distant past.
The theory was dismissed by mainstream science labeled as
speculative fantasy. But decades later.
Many of their arguments still remain unanswered.
(19:37):
The moon's crust is unusually hard.
The core is strangely small or missing.
Apollo seismic experiments revealed that the moon rang like
a bell for hours after impact and its internal density lower
than it should. Be as if it were hollow.
What? Kind of natural.
Object does that. Ancient cultures describe the
(19:59):
moon as arriving suddenly. As we've already.
Seen, which raises A disturbing possibility the moon may not be
natural, it may be a construct, and if.
It was built. Who built it?
Was it the same force responsible?
For the stories of the. Watchers.
The same architects behind the Black Knight.
(20:21):
Was the moon meant to stabilize Earth or monitor it?
A machine? A station?
If the Moon was built, it wasn'tbuilt by chance in ancient
traditions across. The world, there are stories.
Of beings who descended from thestars, not gods.
Watchers. In the Hebrew book of Enoch, the
watchers are. Described as powerful.
(20:42):
Entities who came down to. Earth to observe.
To intervene and eventually. To corrupt.
The Sumerians spoke of the Anunnaki, the sky born ones who
shaped human civilization. The Zulu people tell of sky.
Beings who dragged the moon into.
Orbit across. Continents the same.
(21:04):
Idea repeats visitors. Came from above.
They changed the earth and then they stayed.
If the moon was placed, could itbe their construct?
A monitoring station? A quarantine mechanism?
A tool for control? In ancient Egyptian myth, the
moon was often associated. With Thoth, the keeper of
(21:27):
secrets. And the measurer of time in the
Greek tradition, the moon goddess Celine.
Rode her chariot. Across the heavens.
But the vehicle she drove was described.
As mechanical, made of gleaming silver.
It's a device. A machine maintained and
operated by beings older than memory, some researchers.
(21:49):
Believe the watchers, whoever orwhatever they truly were.
May have placed the moon to. Stabilize Earth so to observe
its evolution, to watch us grow to.
Monitor our development to control the cycles of life and
time, and maybe to ensure that Earth never outgrows its prison.
(22:10):
In 1969, during Apollo 12 astronauts.
Deliberately crashed a. Portion of their lunar module
into the surface seismic instruments placed on the Moon.
Recorded the results. The moon rang.
Like a bell. For more than an hour,
vibrations echoed through its. Crust.
Not the short. Chaotic waves typical of a solid
(22:32):
rock. But a resonance.
As if the surface was hollow. Later experiments produced the
same. Result larger.
Impacts made it ring even longer.
Some scientists quietly admittedthey had no model that could
explain it. Then there's the matter of
density, the Moon's overall mass.
(22:52):
Is too low for its size. Its crust is disproportionately.
Thick, especially. On the far side, suggesting an
uneven manufactured shell. The core thin, small, nothing
like Earth's dense molten center.
It's as if the moon isn't natural at.
All. But a lightweight construct
(23:14):
covered in just enough rock and dust to mimic a planetary body.
Some seismic readings even hint at the presence of metallic
materials deep within the moon'sstructure, elements that don't
match the surrounding lunar. Rock.
Soviet Research. From the 1970s quietly ignored
in the. West suggested.
(23:35):
The moon might be coated with titanium alloy in certain
regions. Titanium, one of the strongest,
most heat resistant metals knownto man.
And then there are the magnetic anomalies.
Pockets of unexplained magnetismscattered.
Across the surface. Too strong, too localized.
Too structured to. Occur naturally in an otherwise
(23:57):
inert body. In the Book of Enoch, the
watchers descended from the heavens, interfering with the
natural course. Of Earth's.
Evolution In the midst of Mesoamerica, the Sky People came
down and altered the land and the heavens themselves.
Are these fragments describing the same architects?
A civilization capable of movingplanets, of constructing
(24:21):
hollowed out megastructures the size of small worlds?
Some believe the answer lies even deeper that before modern
humanity. Rose.
There was another civilization on earth, a race whose
knowledge. Reached the stars.
And when catastrophe came, when Earth was.
Reset the survivors. Left behind.
(24:42):
Traces, structures, technologies.
And maybe the moon itself. After.
(25:25):
Apollo 17 in December 1970. 2 the.
Program was over. Officially, budget cuts public
fatigue a shift. In priorities.
That's what we were told. But the truth doesn't add up.
The technology was there. The momentum was there.
NASA had already planned future missions.
(25:46):
Apollo. 18/19/20 missions that would.
Have pushed further. Across the lunar surface.
They were quietly. Cancelled the Rockets, the
modules, the blueprints, all left.
To rot. In the decades since, no human
has returned. Not the United States, not
Russia, not China, not anyone. Why, if the moon was simply a
(26:11):
dead rock, a conquered frontier,why abandon it?
Why leave it untouched for half a century?
Some say the answer was written in the silence.
We didn't stop because we couldn't afford it.
We stopped. Because we were warned off, what
the astronauts encountered forced A reckoning, A presence
already there, ancient watching,the message was.
(26:33):
Clear. You are not welcome.
You are being watched. Do not come back.
And so we didn't. The moon controls the tides.
(27:01):
It stabilizes the Earth's tilt. It shapes the very.
Rhythm of life on this planet For thousands of years, full
moons have been linked to strange behavior.
Ancient cultures warned that during certain phases, madness
would rise. The word.
Lunacy comes from Luna, the Latin word for the moon.
(27:25):
Even today, police and hospital.Records show spikes.
In violence, accidents and emergency room visits during
full moons. Sleep studies have.
Revealed that human sleep cyclesbecome disturbed near the full
moon, even when subjects. Are sealed.
Away from the sky, heart rates change.
Melatonin production drops. Something about the moon's
(27:48):
position, its gravity, its radiation, or something even
stranger seems to reach into thehuman body itself.
Ancient mythologies didn't just observe the moon.
They worshipped it. As an entity, a living being,
sometimes benevolent, sometimes hostile, the moon cycles mirror
(28:11):
biological rhythms. Menstrual cycles align almost
exactly with lunar months. Migratory patterns of animals
and fish follow its. Pull.
Some researchers now believe themoon acts as a kind of
biological tuner, amplifying certain traits, suppressing
others. Was the moon placed?
(28:32):
To help life thrive or to. Control how life.
Would develop if its arrival triggered the great.
Flood Myths. If its.
Gravitational field manipulates brain chemistry and behavior.
Then humanity may have been under lunar influence since
before we could even write our own history.
Could the moon be the machine ofthe?
(28:53):
Watchers placed deliberately. In the heavens, could the Black
Knight satellite be a communications relay linked
directly to the moon? Was Umuamua A probe sent back
from the Anunnaki to gather information from our solar
system? The moon does not just.
Observe us. It shapes us.
(29:15):
And the real question is, to what end?
(29:50):
Music. The.
(31:08):
None.
