Someone beat us to the Moon

I copied this image from the NASA site: quickmap.lroc.asu.edu. It was back in 2016 and I took a shot off my monitor. These are very strange constructions in the middle of a very small crater that cannot be geological in origin. I think that some will find this thought provoking.

Looks like a cluster of lower buildings with two 'high rises'.
Maybe been there all the time, watching us. We have only had the telescope a few hundred years. Is it just being found and being seen?

You are certainly seeing something that I don't.
There are three objects in the shadowed half of the crater that appear black with the tallest getting a bit of sunlight. The two major objects are in full sunlight and appear to have flat, square tops. The increased albedo in the sunlit side indicate that the soil has been disturbed. If I correctly recall, the crater is between 500-1000 meters in diameter. Go to the website I included and zoom in to the 500 meter/inch on a 23 inch monitor. You will be amazed.

A YouTube "mysteries" video that I watched recently purported NASA moon missions halted due to alien or strange creature habitation. Fact or fiction? Only NASA and the government know for certain.

Bill, if you go to the website, you will see what the lunar recon orbiter photographs from 70 miles above the surface. The definition is fantastic.

The Apollo astronauts on one of the missions was heard to say "they are watching us, they are lined up on the edge of a crater". Here is another closeup of two things looking like space craft that were parked on the northern rim of the small crater named Hershel.

No need to imagine, just poke around as I have done. the address to lunar orbiting camera is:
quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/ Yes, that is the entire address
If you look closely behind the top craft you will see a parabolic antenna dish, most likely pointed to Earth.

You must not realize that at the distance this photo was taken there would be no apparent parallax, yet the 'buildings' are all at different angles. This is consistent with a viewpoint nearly at the level of the tops of the 'buildings', at which point the horizon would be nearly at the crater edge, not a wide field view. All leaning towers of Pizza???

Interesting, but by no means conclusive. The interpretation is also muddied by the photo being oriented such that depressions appear as bumps. I don't see what you saw.

Do you have any idea of the magnification the optics must have to get this resolution? This is a severe telephoto shot; not a wide angle view.

Cool
If you like challenges, the lunar coordinates for locating the parabolic antenna that is behind the northernmost spacecraft on the quickmap site.are:
Lat. -5.07879
Lon. -2.02988 Note these are negative factors
It will be very helpful if you go to the north rim of the crater Herschel.
Once again, the NASA site is: quickmap.lroc.asu.edu/ (that is a small L in lroc)
HAVE FUN!
