Welcome to Farside Anomalies Found on Lunar Orbiter Photos in Books

Welcome to Farside
Anomalies Found on Lunar Orbiter Photos The Images in this section are scanned from books that were published in the early days of the Apollo Missions. Some of the same images are available online, however they show obvious differences. We will provide Book details so if you wish you can find a copy yourself and compare the images to those found on the websites. Both sources are the same... NASA.
This image is scanned from “Exploring Space With A Camera” NASA SP-168 (1968)

Comments:
There are many interesting anomalies in this photo, but we are going to focus on a few of the easiest to see ones. They are detailed below.

"Mining Operation"
.

Comments:
Lots of disturbed dirt here and many "roadways"

"Roadway"
.

Comments:
The image above shows a long relatively straight roadway to another mining operation. On the right side below the crater there is what appears to be a circle of lights.

"Industrial Complex"
.

Comments:
The image above shows several "roadways" with lights. In the upper right corner you can se a fairly large structure on the ridge that stands out like a beacon

On the left is a dirt road through trees, and two clusters of lights. On the right is two crossing roads with street lamps. Both these clips are from Cape Kennedy Spaceport taken by satellite and reduced to approximate the scale, used here for comparison

UPDATE:

Presented at AboveTopSecret.com by a member in THIS THREAD "Study of lunar orbiter1-102 image (moon anomaly)"

Original Image used for this Pegasus version was taken from Lunar Orbiter Photo Gallery Frame 1102
LO-I-102-h1 We first presented this in the John Lear Moon Thread as "Industrial Complex" (see above). This new release of LO-I-102 is much better resolution than the book scan and gives us a much better view of this 'structure'

Original Image cropped...

Color Highlighted 'Structure'...
..

The entire structure is within one scanner strip from the video scan of the original negative left on board the Orbiter

.. Despite the poor resolution, the anomaly still appears as a rectangle. This is one think we look for when hunting. In the lower res version they satnd out clearly. Then if it holds up in the higher res versions you have something... as in this case

.. In the above two Apollo versions, though you cannot see any deatails, both images show a pronounced rectangular area. Assuming the locations are correct this makes it avery interesting find.

.. In the above two even poorer versions you can still see the little rectangular area... so it seems that in all the photos above there is clear evidence of something rectangular in that region

"Those Mysterious Spheres"
.

"Spheres"

This group is arranged in a semi- circle

	"Spheres" Lots of groups of spheres in this area arranged in neat rectangular rows just like street lights
