The Reality Gap Part 1
Preparing To Exceed Overpressure.
It is now over 50 years since the last manned space mission to the moon of Apollo 17 ended. Officially, since that time no human has gone beyond earth orbit. We are told for almost half of a century all space missions have been unmanned probes. We are told all that was found during the Apollo Lunar Missions was rocks and dust. The public’s knowledge concerning the manned moon missions has been allowed to fade into history. We are still being told by NASA and other ‘authoritative’ sources that intelligent life beyond earth is speculative.

We are told nothing but lies.
By the end of the Early Space Program (1958-1972) the extraterrestrial question as well as radical discoveries concerning our star system and the very nature of the universe had been answered in detail. The Moon was indeed the Rosetta Stone to understanding space as had been hoped for.
However, the public was told none of this. Instead, the decision had already been made from the beginning to lie to the population of the entire planet; to withhold the discoveries.
In preparation for what top decision makers knew was coming, NASA contracted with a Washington based Think Tank, The Brookings Institution (Brookings) to produce a report titled – “Proposed Studies on the Implications of Peaceful Space Activities for Human Affairs. The document was received by NASA in November of 1960 and presented to Congress in March of 1961.
The roughly 300-page report along with the attendant summary mainly addressed things as Attitudes and Values of the public, US dominance in the coming commercial satellite and telecommunications industry, cultivating government support for the space program, and so forth.
However, within that report there were four or five pages of such immense importance it cannot be overemphasized. Those pages contained a single recommendation that would be used to legitimate blocking the evolution of civilization’s understanding of its origins for at least the next 60 years.
Brookings stated that although face to face contact with extraterrestrials is unlikely in the next twenty years through our upcoming space exploration… artifacts left at some point in time by these life forms might possibly be discovered through our space activities on the Moon, Mars, or Venus…”
“Though intelligent or semi –intelligent life conceivably exists elsewhere in our solar system, if intelligent extraterrestrial life is discovered in the next twenty years, it will very probably be by radio telescope from other solar systems. Evidence of its existence might also be found in artifacts left on the moon or other planets. The consequences for attitudes and values are unpredictable, but would vary profoundly in different cultures and between groups within complex societies; a crucial factor would be the nature of the communication between us and the other beings. Whether or not earth would be inspired to an all–out space effort by such a discovery is moot: societies sure of their own place in the universe have disintegrated when confronted by a superior society, and others have survived even though changed. Clearly, the better we can come to understand the factors involved in responding to such crises the better prepared we may be.”
One of the key experts Brookings used in their citations was Cultural Anthropologist, Margaret Meade whose studies of Pacific Islanders gave rise to the following axiom:
Whenever a civilization of lower technology comes into contact with a civilization of higher technology one of two things always occurs –
1- The civilization of lower technology becomes subservient to the civilization of higher technology.
Or
2- The civilization of lower technology disintegrates.
Brookings goes on to state the people most affected would be “…the scientists themselves whose most cherished theories are at risk.”
Brookings then concluded that not disclosing the discoveries in our upcoming space exploration should be considered due to the threat of social upheaval. In fact, “non-disclosure” had been in effect long before the Brookings recommendation.
In 1958 Carl Gustav Jung, one of the world’s foremost experts on human behavior and a giant of the 20th century said of direct confrontation with more technologically advanced creatures –
The “reins would be torn from our hands and we would, as a tearful old medicine man once said to me, find ourselves ‘without dreams’ that is, we would find our intellectual and spiritual aspirations so outmoded as to leave us completely paralyzed.”
Obviously, a major objective for the space program would be to travel a mere 240,000 miles and explore the Moon beginning incrementally with probes and then with manned expeditions. What was not being told was that ongoing activity on the lunar surface had been reported by professional astronomers for over 80 years. Since the 1870’s (When the industrial revolution could produce large aperture telescopes) reports of moving lights on the lunar surface, physical changes in craters, glowing lights inside craters, and ‘lights’ moving across and above the lunar disk had been repeatedly reported so much so that by the 1890’s major newspapers openly discussed the presence of our lunar neighbors
On July 29, 1953, John J. O’Neill, science editor of the New York Herald reported seeing an approximate ten-mile-long bridge like structure in the Crisium region of the moon. The observation was confirmed shortly after by the prominent British astronomer and lunar expert, H.P. Wilkins. Wilkins being well familiar with that particular area added, “And it appeared almost overnight.” Pressure was put on Wilkins to retract his observation. Subsequently ‘debunkers’ went to work to mislead the public. Inaccurate, misleading accounts persist to this day based upon NASA imagery which as you will find out is not to be trusted.
NASA’s report on Transient Lunar Phenomenon which came out seven years after Brookings incorporated much of the above-mentioned ongoing observations by professional astronomers.
After an 18-month study, Josef F. Blumrich, an engineer at the Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, concluded that the Earth and Moon have been visited regularly by extraterrestrial beings, and that we will soon find artifacts placed by them on the Moon.
The world, and Americans in particular, have been subjected to a long-term disinformation program concerning off world civilizations and their interactions with us. The foundation of this program is repression of information as well as propagating false information mostly in a coordinated campaign of “debunking” through ridicule and lying to the public to supplant the truth. If you are hesitant to accept that observation the following statement should be considered:
“We’ll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false.”
– William Casey, CIA Director (from first staff meeting, 1981 as claimed by reported attendee, Barbara Honegger.)
– Of course, Casey’s quotation lacks real impact without knowing the specifics and magnitude of the lie(s) in which the public is being bathed most especially with regard to the early space program. Perhaps only one in ten thousand people actually fathom what this statement implies.
No incident has been sensationalized, attacked, distorted, and ridiculed more than the events arising from the night of July 3 rd and 4 th 1947 near Roswell, New Mexico; so, some mention of this is appropriate. The following is my general understanding.
On that night during a particularly violent thunderstorm there was an aerial collision involving two advanced, non-terrestrial or non-contemporary craft. The shattered parts of one of the craft fell to earth forming a debris field of mostly small sized material in an area of the Foster ranch outside of Roswell, New Mexico. The debris field was discovered about two days after the collision. The military were brought in and reports were that soldiers positioned on their knees shoulder to shoulder moved across the debris field probing the ground with bayonets to recover every bit of material.
On the early morning of July 4, the second craft was discovered 160 miles away visible just off the road in an arroyo on the Plains of San Agustin by passing motorists who pulled over to investigate. Reports from witnesses described a badly damaged craft (with a large gash consistent with having been impacted by a saucer shaped object on edge) and several small humanoid bodies laid out on the ground with at least one of them still alive. In the gash area of the craft was seen strange looking wiring with lights blinking.
After only a few minutes the military arrived. A soldier was seen approaching the still living humanoid and when the humanoid had moved his arm reaching towards his belt the soldier had hit him in the head with his rifle butt.
It should be said that there have been numerous reports over long past years of UFO occupants having controls including weapons operated from their belts. The soldier’s reported actions indicated that he had been trained and was aware of this potential threat. The reported action suggests that the military likely had previous experience in such situations.
In the days preceding the night of July 4 citizens in the town of Roswell, New Mexico reported numerous plainclothes military people showing up and hanging around in town.
This was just after the end of the Second World War and the townspeople were well aware of the distinctive demeanor of military, uniformed or not. Further, when the local newspaper began to teletype Roswell Army Air Force Base’s initial announcement of a “recovered disk” out on the newswire the transmission had been interrupted in real time and shut down by the FBI. The military would shortly thereafter change their story of a recovered crashed disk to a crashed weather balloon.
It wasn’t until the 1980’s when a prominent US scientist and a former member of the Science Board, Dr. Robert Sorbacher spoke up in an interview concerning the Roswell event. Commenting on the recovered thin, light, super tough, metallic debris Sorbacher said when the Electron Scanning Microscope (ESM) was available (after 1966) were we finally able to fully analyze the material. What was found was that “It was ‘welded’ on a molecular level.”
It wouldn’t be until the 1990’s roughly 50 years after the event until General Arthur Exon gave further explanation to the Roswell event. In a discussion with writer and family friend, Whitley Strieber, General Exon had related that on the night of July 3 rd and 4 th 1947 the military had been conducting high powered magnetron tests in that general area of New Mexico. Putting it plainly Exon was saying on the night of the ‘crash’ the military was ‘testing’ a powerful microwave weapon.
The presence of plainclothes military (probably counter-intelligence) pre-positioned in Roswell in the days prior to the ‘crash’, along with the FBI closely monitoring local access to the newswire in addition to General Exon’s statement strongly suggests that the Roswell “crash’ of 1947 was actually a planned, take down of an advanced/ extraterrestrial craft. (The actual result being the microwave weapon interrupting the propulsion/navigation systems of two craft resulting in their collision) The presence of Military counter-intelligence, FBI influence, along with announcements of disinformation, and publicly ridiculing anyone speaking of the event was almost totally successful in distorting and initially suppressing the information, a process that would continue for over 60 years.
In summation – The government’s official position was that a “weather balloon” had crashed. Anyone saying differently was a “Wingnut.” And Roswell was just one of numerous takedowns and crashes of off-world or non- contemporary craft in the US Southwest alone.
As an example of the propaganda- on the week of the 50 th anniversary of the ‘supposed’ Roswell crash I happened to view The McLaughlin Group, a weekly news analysis television show hosted by John Mclaughlin and his group of prominent journalists. I distinctly recall a clueless Eleanor Clift ridiculing the topic with a big smile on her face; laughing and giggling it up with Fred Barnes, Morton Kondracke and the rest of the show members. In comparison they made The Three Stooges look highly intelligent. Nonetheless their antics served to suppress a misinformed public.
Getting back on track
Based upon Brookings which publicly provided the rationale legitimizing censorship, an elaborate protocol and infrastructure was instituted to shield a clueless world from the magnitude of the radical discoveries that would certainly be made upon reaching the moon; which first entailed sending probes containing cameras and sensors beginning with the Ranger program, Surveyor, then Lunar Obiter, and culminating with Apollo10- 17.
In the over twenty-five-year period of my involvement in this topic one comment stands as the greatest understatement perhaps in all of history. It was made by Dr. Farouk El Baz.
In a post Apollo interview Dr. Farouk El Baz, a consulting NASA scientist from BellCom who had overseen the astronaut’s geologic training of missions 13 and 15 and also authored NASA papers concerning lunar geology, El Baz had made the following statement, “… not every discovery has been announced.” El Baz claimed that NASA was “looking for something” on the Apollo missions. He did not elaborate on just what it was that NASA had been looking for.
Again, at a NASA post Apollo Program banquet on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landing astronaut Neil Armstrong had spoken, advocating for the further exploration of space. Armstrong stated in part, “There are unimaginable wonders [out there], for those who can remove some of Truth’s protective layers“
The only place Armstrong or any person had traveled to at that point was –The Moon.
So, what ‘Discoveries,” what “Wonders” are Dr. El Baz and Neil Armstrong speaking of? The public was told that all that was found on the Moon was rocks and dust. Officially, one of the more titillating scientific finds was made by Apollo 17 astronauts Gene Cernan and Harrison Schmitt in December 1972. In the Taurus Littrow Valley while at Shorty Crater they observed and had collected samples of “orange soil” which was reportedly made of fine glass bead particles.
If the public had been told by NASA what had really been discovered alone on the lunar surface in December of 1972 the population of planet Earth would have been electrified with likely hundreds of millions of people going into shock.
Four Main Actual Mission Objectives for Apollo –
- Collect ultra-advanced technology in the form of archeological artifacts on the lunar surface and return them to Earth for study.
- Perform a visual and photo reconnaissance of surface structures and artificial features on the lunar surface. (Done by both the two-man surface team and the third crew member above in lunar orbit from the Command and Service Module.)
- Assess the lunar infrastructure
- Make contact with neighboring civilizations
On December 11, 1972 the Apollo 17 Lunar Excursion Module, Challenger carrying astronauts Mission Commander, Gene Cernan and Lunar Module Pilot, Harrison Schmitt departed from the Command and Service Module (then in Lunar orbit) headed to the Taurus Littrow Valley on the eastern shore of Mare Serenitatis. (The Sea of Serenity) NASA had chosen the Taurus Littrow Valley as well as the Apollo 17 LEM landing site based upon intense examination of extremely high-resolution imagery taken by Apollo 15 while in lunar orbit over the area. NASA knew pretty much what would be found and had planned the surface expedition accordingly.
The Taurus Littrow Valley had once been residence to an advanced race of humanoids. An extensive surface installation comprised of structures of various size; some of colossal scale, all lay now in ruin and decay. At multiple locations stood vehicles, strange equipment, and lunar walkers all dead in their tracts since some violent event of the distant past.
Subsequent to the LEM landing, Schmitt and Cernan upon exiting would see up close that they were in the midst of an archeological debris field containing fragments or pieces of mechanical devices and even humanoid body parts laying on the surface as they set up the Apollo Lunar Science Experiment Package (ALSEP) nearby. The massive structural ruins in the distance would dominate the landscape of the valley floor.
Now at this point, for the reader’s benefit I will have to agree how patently preposterous this all sounds. In addition to over a dozen probes, NASA sent eight three-man teams to the Moon. Mission 10 was orbital only as well as Mission 13. No US astronaut reported anything like this. Tens of thousands of extremely high-resolution photographs were taken from orbit and on the surface. None of them revealed any of this as well. The few images that were questioned over time were not exactly convincing.
However, it literally took NASA years to make the photo inventory required by law available to the public (As per The Space Act of 1958) which given their capabilities and their mandate of transparency, is in itself quite fishy.
The Hat Trick
Below is the official NASA handheld Hasselblad image AS17-136-20694 taken on December 11 1972. This “20694” is what the public is shown.
It shows Apollo 17 Mission Commander Gene Cernan at the “Deep Core” setting up one of the lunar surface experiments in the ALSEP area. The photo was taken by LMP, astronaut Harrison Schmitt.
Next is the official 20694 with a specific area highlighted within the red ovals then magnified. (Below)
Schmitt and Cernan are in the middle of an archeological debris field. Do you see any machine fragments or humanoid body parts as claimed? Pay particular attention to the oval highlighted areas. Still don’t see anything?
Of course, you don’t because it’s not there. The “Official’ photo has been highly censored; through airbrushing, denuding resolution, along with other techniques.
Now look at the less censored collage version of “20694” (assembled around 2005) derived from an image as contained in SP-362, an obscure publication downloaded from the NASA History Office circa 2004. Again, look at the highlighted area. (See 20694 COLLAGE VERSION below)
