Each night the moon makes its majestic appearance. Without this luminous sphere, our planet would be a vastly different place. It is responsible for the ocean’s tides, seasons, temperatures, and Earth’s very rotation. Both humans and animals are affected by the lunar presence. Scientists have theories about the planetary object’s origins yet all remain mere speculation. Some researchers disagree with current hypotheses and have proposed an intriguing conclusion. They argue the moon is an artificial satellite intentionally placed into orbit by advanced extraterrestrials. 

“The Moon is bigger than it should be, apparently older than it should be and much lighter in mass than it should be. It occupies an unlikely orbit and is so extraordinary that all existing explanations for its presence are fraught with difficulties and none of them could be considered remotely watertight.”

-Alan Butler, Who Built the Moon?

Lunar Lore Throughout History

While the notion that the moon is a synthetic celestial body may seem unimaginable, it has been discussed for thousands of years. Our ancient ancestors who had no contact with one another all shared nearly identical stories about a “time before the moon”. Greek philosophers Aristotle and Plutarch referenced an age in which the astronomical orb did not exist. In Africa, Zulu legends chronicle how the planetoid was similar to an egg with its yoke removed. Certain Native American tribes believed their evening spotlight was brought here by advanced alien beings. Indigenous Colombians recounted a pre-lunar civilization in their writings. These diverse groups all describe a terrible cataclysm upon the moon’s arrival. Widespread fatalities reduced the population to a single race. Modern science has ascertains that humans share one common ancestor: Mitochondrial Eve. Might it be plausible ancient fables may be in fact be knowledge of events long forgotten?

Rang Like a Bell & Strange Sounds Emitting

Prior to mankind’s historic cosmic ventures, Apollo 10 traveled to the dark side of the moon. During radio transcripts, the astronauts recount hearing “eerie outer space music”. Bizarre electromagnetic tones similar to the frequencies recorded inside Saturn’s rings were clearly audible. A dreadful otherworldly orchestra encompassed the ears of every voyager. NASA representatives quickly dismissed the acoustic oddity and blamed radio waves interfering with the moon’s magnetic field. However, their argument is not applicable as the satellite does not possess a magnetic field.
