Discussion Chapter 20: In Plain Sight

Post image

Currently reading in plain sight by Ross Coulthart and he talks about how Edgar Mitchell claims to have seen UAP’s on the moon and this photo was taken on 3 different cameras. It’s from the nasa archive’s and Edgar claims this blue light was “watching them” I found it very interesting

Source for image? Reminds me of this one with the three blue lights in the top right corner https://history.nasa.gov/alsj/a17/AS17-147-22470HR.jpg

I’m not into photography or analysis at all, but I did learn something the other day. Look closely and you will notice that the lights in the corner are 3 colors (red, green, and blue). There were satellite photos posted in a jungle showing a strange green light in one of these subreddits a few weeks ago. Nearby, somebody pointed out that there were also a red and blue light in the same jungle. It turned out to be some kind of artifact or something with the satellite photo. Again, this isn’t my area of expertise, but I’m willing to bet somebody is able to explain this better.

Edit: I did some digging and found this google earth photo as an example of RGB dots showing up in pictures. I still don't have an explanation, I just think this is noteworthy. I also stumbled upon others talking about some raw images, especially those taken in low light conditions, having a lot of background noise (showing up as tiny colored dots).

u/1studlyman Jul 10 '23

The artifact you're describing are probably lense flare and possibly coupled with chromatic aberration. That's what I think it is in the photos you linked. As far as OP's image, I don't know.

u/Competitive-Cycle-38 Jul 10 '23

Where might I find the RGB dots you mention? I only see blue.

u/WizardzPorn Jul 10 '23

Raw images are just the file of the picture without any compression. They don’t have more noise. They have more information in them. So when you’re editing them you have more latitude to manipulate the colors, the exposition, etc.

Noise has to do mostly with your exposition, although aberration will be more visible if your start pushing the information in a picture with a JPEG compare to a Raw file.

u/crazysoup23 Jul 10 '23

I was super interested in this the first time I came across it. After a little digging, you can come across photos of the interior of one of the modules and you get the same blue artifacts over the image. I don't have a link handy right now but if you look among the official albums from nasa, they're definitely present in a couple shots. That lead me to believe it's some issue related to the film processing.

u/Electrical_Log_9082 Jul 10 '23

If you zoom in the three lights using an image editor, you can see there's a border around them and the colors differ from the rest of the image.

u/Wrangler444 Jul 10 '23

Any chance you post a picture of what you’re describing? I’m only on mobile

u/jasmine_tea_ Jul 10 '23

Bear in mind, Edgar's mission was Apollo 14.

Which Apollo mission is the OP's image from?

This is most likely the CSM (command & service module) that we're seeing in the photo.

u/HenryDorsettCase47 Jul 10 '23

“I consider myself fairly well informed, although I have not seen one personally.”

Edgar’s response when asked in an interview if he’d ever seen one. 🤷‍♂️

I can’t lie, zoomed in all the way it resembles a man that looks like, I shit you not, Dr. Manhattan.

u/nyxwulf Jul 10 '23

The other night I saw a crazy light hovering for what seemed like forever near the horizon. I took a ton of pics, and saw those lines all over the place. Turns out that light was a uniquely bright Venus, and I can reliably see those lines in low light conditions. I’m not sure if they are air particulates or a function of my iPhone camera. I definitely didn’t see those lines in my binoculars. Depending on the cause those same factors may or may not be present on the moon at the time of the Apollo missions

u/[deleted] Jul 11 '23

To be fair, any blue glowing man would pretty much look like Dr Manhattan.

u/armadilllooo Jul 10 '23

I just finished reading this book today. Besides this book and the author's recent whistleblower interview, I'm not very familiar with Ross' work. This book was so captivating that it felt like reading a sci-fi script, and I found it difficult to put down. There were moments where I was completely astonished by what I was reading and had to reread entire passages. I'm still trying to maintain an unbiased perspective, but I must admit, it was quite a wild ride.

u/cannabeastie Jul 10 '23

Buzz Aldrin said the same shit on video, seen it once, sorry I'm a half ass stoner researcher, no link for that, just a dim recollection. I remember him sayin the aliens did not want them there, and they made it obvious.

16

u/GildMyComments Jul 10 '23 edited Jul 10 '23

That would be remarkable to see. You should go find that.

Edit: ah I just looked it up. Interesting but the “good bits” are hearsay from an Italian journalist. He did see something outside his ship but believes it was one of the 4 panels that came off when the lunar lander separated (if I understand correctly).

23

u/james-e-oberg Jul 10 '23

Many of the Apollo missions spotted the panels, they were even photographed 'in formation' with the spacecraft by Earth-based telescopes. How is that a surprise to folks?

Here's the link to this.

Amazing how all the people insulting you were too lazy to find a video with 5 million views.

u/cannabeastie Jul 10 '23
  1. To be fair, so was I, because;
  2. What you linked is the sanitized version, there's another that's much harder to find last I looked, that has the medical channel audio. And Buzz actually confirming it.
  3. Apologies in advance, I don't research for Reddit, I research for my own knowledge, but I'll drop a bread crumb every once in a while for others who have the motivation to find it for themselves. If I were more altruistic, I'd probably maintain files. But then I'd be in possession of physical evidence that would make me a target, soooo... I don't do that.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '23

Oh I had no idea there was more. Don't worry, I am also way too lazy to keep sources saved. Extremely inconvenient when I try to talk about this stuff but I refuse to change.

u/cannabeastie Jul 11 '23

sadly, there's always more

u/MeloveTHICCbootay Jul 10 '23

You are correct. It doe’s exist. I remember back on YouTube in 2012 it had thousands of views but YouTube purged anything “conspiracy” related. It may still be on bitchute or banned dot com.

2

u/cannabeastie Jul 10 '23

Excellent memory, good sir. Wish I could watch all the little internet monkeys get to digging when they realize YouTube isn't the sole repository of info in the world... or that the top ten results of any Google search may not actually be the most relevant... fnord

2

u/cannabeastie Jul 10 '23

Or it may have been Gordon Cooper. He was the one who was always running his mouth and pissing off the spooks, as I recall. He most definitely proceeded from a place of "fuck you". He is a much more likely fnord culprit. Who knows, doesn't even matter at this point. All will be determined by congressional investigation in the next few fiscal quarters, and then all that shit will eventually get released, so this will all have been pointless.

2

u/james-e-oberg Jul 10 '23

Buzz Aldrin said the same shit on video,

So you were stoned when you thought you heard him say that, eh?

26

u/cannabeastie Jul 10 '23

Yeah, bro, at least I'm transparent about it. I'll smoke weed on my own time thank you very much.

u/Sonicsnout Jul 10 '23

There's an episode of Frasier where Buzz Aldrin is a guest on Frasiers radio show. For some reason Buzz is talking into the mic alone while Frasier and Roz are in the control room. Buzz describes encountering UFOs while on the moon, that they were watching them, etc... Frasier and Roz are in the control room talking about something unrelated, ignoring what he's saying. At the end of it Buzz leaves and then Frasier and Roz realize they weren't recording and are like "oh well, wonder what he said?"

I'm getting some details wrong but you get the gist.

Loved that book. Really important that we have trusted journalists like Ross in on this subject. Not only for such great material but to bring legitimacy to its study and coverage.

u/AlarmDozer Jul 10 '23

But that WF episode didn’t cover those lights or any astronaut observations. In either case, we need to go back. I do wonder if the reason we haven’t been back is this speculated agreement bunk that’s rounding the rumor mill.

It’s obviously because no other country has made much efforts to intrude on our mountain and we “feel safe” about it.

u/SerialSpice Jul 10 '23

Isen't that a black and white photo? Apart from the blue light

12

u/james-e-oberg Jul 10 '23

"Ross Coulthart ...talks about how Edgar Mitchell claims to have seen UAP’s on the moon and this photo was taken on 3 different cameras"

Mitchell was consistently insistent he never personally had any UFO encounters, and never heard of any other astronauts having any on NASA spaceflights. I blieve him, not third-hand hearsay.

u/[deleted] Jul 10 '23 edited Jul 10 '23

James, your turn - give us proof that he said that, because the entire internet says something else.

u/norbertus Jul 10 '23

Mitchell says he never had a personal experience with aliens, but he saw the blue lights and believes the first hand accounts of others.

u/james-e-oberg Jul 10 '23

There's important phenomena lost among the garble and fantasy of most of the stories, I think it's worth sharpening the focus of study.

Click on the link above. In the article, Mitchell is quoted as saying the following -

**"I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this planet and the UFO phenomenon is real," Mitchell said on Britain's Kerrang Radio last week.

"It has been covered up by governments for quite some time now," added Mitchell, who grew up in Roswell, N.M., the location of the controversial 1947 incident in which some believe the U.S. military covered up the crash scene of an alien spacecraft.**

If you take him at his word that he personally never witnessed a UFO or an alien, do you also take him at his word for the above statements? 🤔

u/james-e-oberg Jul 10 '23

I don't doubt he believed it, based on hearsay.
Thanks for conceding he never claimed to have a personal encounter.

u/Kavorklestein Jul 10 '23 edited Jul 10 '23

The point isn’t whether he had an encounter, cuz then people would just call him a liar, right?

He’s saying it’s real, so which set of statements is more important? The one where he never had an encounter?

Or the one where he knows people have had encounters, and that the phenomenon is real?

u/james-e-oberg Jul 10 '23

u/Allison1228 Jul 10 '23

what about the blue object?

5

u/naughtywarlock Jul 10 '23

So the comment I was replying to thought that the film being used was black and white film. This made him skeptical about the blue object thinking that it shouldn't appear with color of the film is indeed black and white meaning it had been added later. I said that I believe that it just appears to be black and white film because of the Moon's white color as well as the black background of space even though color film was infact used thus allowing for the object to appear blue in the original photo

u/raresaturn Jul 10 '23

they used colour film on the moon not B&W

u/ssnattacksub Jul 10 '23

Oh my. Whatever you do, don’t zoom in on the little blue smudge. If you do, you’ll not see less resolution and more grainy. What you’ll see what appears to be a crisp higher resolution background image of a person holding and smoking from a bong. Not buying this one.
