Moon structure and 1962 Mars landing

Those aren't raw images, Brett. The daytime Viking shots had color added in by NASA programmers; it did not represent a real color reading. I was around win those first pictures were shown and when they were corrected. NASA said that the blue skies were calibrated into the image because of inaccurate assumptions, and were corrected using the atmospheric data. This probably explains it better than I could: http://www.webexhibits.org/causesofcolor/14C.html I tend to believe NASA on this one. Here is another Viking image with the second calibration: Edit: this is a recalibration of your first image, which was the first calibration.

Actually, the second image is a 2009 revamp in 'almost true colour'. This is the original image from 1976.

For anyone who is interested in NASA, they put out a free publication called 'Spinoff' that features commercialized NASA technology at this site: http://www.sti.nasa.gov/tto/ click the 'request a spinoff' on the left and fill out the form and u get one free The King of all "the moon was populated" Richard C. Hoagland was on C2C last night and mentioned it again. For a laugh go to his web site and see the pic of the head that looks like C3PO he found on the moon after reviewing NASA archive footage.

The second clip is blatantly fake, comes from an early 90's UK TV show called Alternative 3, but it is one of the main attractions on the site of a well-renowned Italian ufologist named Franco Chendi. Here are another two videos that he has on his You Tube page. I mean, these are so laughable and how he can be seen as a top ufologist is beyond me. I knew I'd seen the footage somewhere. Yep, Alternative 3 was a British TV mockumentary done in the style of the 1933 War of the Worlds broadcast or Ghostwatch, it was never intended to be factual but an idiotic few took it seriously. As for Chendi, he may call himself a "top" Ufologist as in top of the crazy crystal-rubbing, hippy, new-ager Las Vegas lecture circuit, but proper Forteans (people who look into this kind of thing with a serious but slightly sceptical point of view) would probably not give him the time of day.
