Yet, is there any evidence to back up his claims?
Swann’s claims of observing structures, mining activities and humanoids on the far side of the moon are too fantastic to be taken at face value for the average person. For many, perhaps these are nothing more than the ramblings of a mad man and not worth a second thought.
However, claims of strange lunar structures have been circulating for decades and Swann is not the only one who claims there are structures, towers, activity or anomalies on the Moon.
Disclaimer
Before I go on, let me just say that I’m not going to prove or disprove anything with this post. I simply would like to explore whatever possible evidence there may be from other sources that also suggest anomalies and the possible discovery of unknown structures on the Moon’s surface.
By exploring similar claims, we can compare them to the results of Swann’s remote viewing experience of the dark side of the moon.
Somebody Else is on the Moon
In 1976, a year after Swann claims he was involved in the secret Remote Viewing of the far side of the Moon, he states that he received partial confirmation of his observations. A booked titled “Somebody Else is on the Moon” by former pilot and NASA scientist George Leonard, arrived on his doorstep.
George Leonard was a former NASA scientist in the photo intelligence division of NASA , as well as the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. In the book, Leonard accuses NASA of having photographs that confirm non-human presence on the moon.
The book’s main focus was a detailed review thousands of official NASA photographs of the Moon from the various Apollo missions. At the time, the quality of the images were very poor but Leonard included the photograph identification code numbers.
He also claims that evidence and photographs of non-human structures on the Moon have been hidden or destroyed by NASA to prevent the information from becoming public.
It's important to note that Swann's account of of his 1975 remote viewing of the dark side of the moon was not published until more than 20 years later in 1998. In Swann's book, Penetration, he claims that he was instructed not to talk to anyone about his experience for 10 years.

A Visit to NASA
Later in 1979, a pair of researchers named Lester Howes and Vito Saccheri decided to visit the Johnson Space Center in Houston after hearing that NASA was withholding photographs of the Moon and Apollo missions. The pair of engineers insisted that as a government agency supported by taxpayer money information relating to all NASA missions must be open to the American public.
After several days of frustrating bureaucratic run-arounds, they were finally directed to an obscure building off the main NASA road one. Incidentally, though the building was on NASA’s sprawling property it was extremely difficult to find. At the end of a dirt road that passed through a wooded area they found a small nondescript building with a small sign that read - Lunar Landing Observatory.
After nearly 2 weeks of attempting to see the photo archive, they were finally allowed to see them but under the condition that they must follow strict guidelines.
The men were prohibited from making any type of recordings while viewing the lunar photographs.
- No cameras, no pictures
- No pencils or calculators
- No recording devices of any kind
- Must be accompanied at all times
The pair spent 3 days looking over the photos.
On the final day, feeling very tired Saccheri decided to go for a walk to stretch his legs. Noticing a panel that was out of the ordinary Saccheri discovered there was a separate room adjacent to where they had been studying the photographs. The librarian conceded there was another room and, since they had grown quite fond of one another, he allowed Saccheri to enter the room which was filled with thick binders of data and also transcripts of certain Apollo missions.
This is what Saccheri wrote:
. . . killing the last 15 minutes of time. Then my
eyes caught it- "Houston, we've got a bogey at two o'clock."
And there was more- "Roger that, Apollo. Switching to alpha. Roll
eight degrees and begin sequence... "
"Roger, Mission Control. Confirming alpha."
Though I knew instinctively what it meant, I couldn't believe what I
was reading. I raced through the pages and other mission transcripts
and found similar dialogue-
"Mission Control, we've got Santa Claus coming over the hill...."
"Roger, Apollo. Hold your fix. Switching bravo. Do you copy?"
"Roger, Houston. Bravo link...."
These guys were reporting UFO activity, but I couldn't remember ever
hearing this during the live TV broadcasts of lunar missions in 1969
and 1970. I was too dumbfounded to say a word and too scared to tell
Les or Roger [librarian]. I didn't want to get either of them in
trouble-we had no clearance to see these documents.
Saccheri claims to have discovered transcripts detailing an encounter between Apollo astronauts and an UFO that seemed to be monitoring their mission.
First Images of the Dark Side
The Russians were the first to get a glimpse of the far side of the Moon as the ZOND-3 satellite orbited the Moon in 1965.
This is the oldest image of the far side of the moon and it appears to show a tower like structure on the surface below. The structure has been nicknamed the “Tower of Babel".
The Tower and the Shard
In 1967, NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 3 took this photograph of a formation now referred to as “the shard”. While people speculated on the abnormal structure of the formation there was, and continues to be, an equal amount of fascination in the tower-like structure looming in the background.
Clementine Lunar Satellite & Censored Images
The Clementine Lunar Missions was a 1994 joint venture between Department of Defense and the US Navy rather than a NASA project. Along with testing various instruments and sensors in space the Clementine mission was tasked with mapping the Moon’s surface.
Over 1.8 million images were taken by Clementine over a two-month period. The Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has made 170,000 images available to researchers and the public.
1.8 million images of the Moon
170,000 available to the public
This means that less than 10% of the DoD and Navy's mapping of the Moon's surface has been made available to the public!
A common complaint about the images that were released by the NRL is that though the Satellite was mounted with high-tech equipment, the quality of the photographs has very low resolution.
There were also photographs with blacked out areas, such as the Reiner Gamma area in this photo. The official explanation for the blacked-out areas is “data loss”.
Strangely, in an updated version of the Clementine archive the blacked-out areas do not appear. It is difficult to determine whether the photos were completely removed or whether they were filled in.
Several more photographs have been circulating for years that appeared to have had portions editing/altering something on the surface of the moon. A number if these censored photos seem to obscure potential vertical objects of substantial size.

Independent Observations of the Moon
For decades, the only photographic documentation available to researchers has been the official NASA Lunar archives, Apollo mission video footage and some soviet satellite images. Essentially, NASA has enjoyed a decades long monopoly over space related imagery.
In recent years however, amateur astronomers and hobbyists have obtained more sophisticated land-based telescopes and instruments to study the Earth’s Moon. This has allowed for an increasing amount of independent observation to take place.
The following video explores high resolution images from several independent Observatories (Namibia, Africa). Obviously, the images are of the near side of the Moon yet they seem to show indications of structural anomalies on the Moon’s surface.

Note: some of the images have filters applied
Strikingly, these independent images of the moon show what appear to be domed structures in some craters. They also show formations that look like enormous bridges and another formation that resembles human male genitalia.
An enormous tower-like monolith is the most outstanding aspect of these photos.
Most notably, these lunar images are not from NASA, the ESA, Russian, Japanese, Chinese agencies or any other national space program. This aspect makes the collection of observatory images unique and even more impressive.
Chinese Land on the Moon - Chang’e 3
In 2013, the Chinese sent an unmanned orbiter and rover to the Moon. The Jade Rabbit is the name of the lunar rover that explored the surface of the moon. The instrumentation of the rover far surpasses the technology of the Apollo missions. Still, only a handful of photographs from the mission have been released by Chinese state media.
Chang’e 3 Lander instruments
- One color “landform” (topography) camera for terrain imaging 2352 X 1728 pixels
- Three color surveillance (“monitoring” engineering cameras
- One black & white descent camera (1280x1024 pixels)
- Near-ultraviolet telescopes (wavelength range 245 to 340 nanometers) for stellar observations down to 13th magnitude
- Extreme ultraviolet camera for observing Earth’s plasmasphere
Yutu aka Jade Rabbit Rover Instruments
- Two color panoramic cameras for stereo imaging
- Two mast-mounted navcams and two forward-facing hazcams
- Ground-penetrating radar (to depths of 30m-100m)
- Alpha particle X-ray spectrometer
- Visible / near-infrared imaging spectrometer
On the Surface
Of the available images of the Chang'e 3 mission, the most striking photograph is certainly the ‘striations’ photo. Some suggest that the photo indicates the presence of a large structure in the background.
Here’s the same image with a negative filter applied.
Striations over the moon's surface are visible with increased noise. As the moon has no atmosphere, dust should be ruled out as the cause of the phenomenon depicted in the photo.
Although the Chang'e 3 mission was a great achievement for the Chinese they're ambitiously planning several more Chang'e missions to the Moon, including the very first controlled landing on the far side as part of their next mission Chang'e 4.
Return to the Dark Side - Chang’e 4 Launch Set for May 2018
- Upcoming Chinese mission to the Far Side of the Moon
- China will be 1st nation to land and conduct experiments on far side of moon
- Mission involves 2 launches
- Relay Satellite will be Launched in May 2018
- Relay will allow communication with Chang’E-4 lander and rover spacecraft
- Relay will hover at 60,000 km above the center of Moon’s far side, maintaining a constant view of both the Earth and Moon simultaneously.
Officially, no space mission has explored the surface of the far side of the moon. The Chang'e 4 aims to be the first mission to explore the far side of the moon with it's lander and rover. Chinese officials state that the relay craft will not only be an important part of the mission but could be used by other missions in the future as well.
The communications satellite will be used not only for the Chang’e 4 mission, but also for supporting future manned and unmanned lunar exploration missions to the far side, and cis-lunar activities.
Future missions, the Chang'e 5 and Chang'e 6 projects that are slated to follow this year's venture will be focused on obtaining, securing and retrieving moon samples.
A likely destination for Chang’e 4 is the Apollo crater, located near the edge of the moon’s South Pole-Aitken basin, the largest and oldest lunar impact site. Scientists believe the huge basin, which extends up to 5 miles (8 kilometers) deep and stretches almost 1,500 miles (2,500 kilometers) across, exposes parts of the deep lunar crust, and perhaps even material from the ancient molten lunar mantle.
Scientists are eager for a mission to land there, and a sample return probe to bring back rocks from the South Pole-Aitken basin ranks among the highest planetary science priorities for NASA.

Summary
There's much more information that could be included in a post speculating on the possibility of structures on the moon, what was included here was a collection of some of the best existing material available.
Swann's Remote Viewing of the dark side of the moon highlighted towers, lights, bases, tracks and green haze. In this brief exploration there seems to be some indications that there exist massive vertical structures on the surface of the moon. Furthermore, the haze Swann claims to have seen may have been captured in the Chang'e 3 'striations' photograph.
Certainly, the most intriguing revelations presented here are the independent observations made from the Namibian Observatories. These images would suggest that there are certainly large monolithic structures on the near side of the moon: domes, towers, bridges, and platforms.
Considering that 90% of the Moon's surface mapped by the Navel Research Laboratory has NOT been made public it seem reasonable to assume that there's something being hidden from us about the true nature of the moon. Whether there's mining activity related to a secret space program, alien bases being covered up or a structures that indicate the colonization of the moon by an ancient civilization, there's certainly no end to the speculation.
Final Note
Remote Viewer Ingo Swann also claimed that the far side of the moon was populated by humanoids who were busy with some sort of mining activities. Since, this post was already getting out of control lengthy, I decided not to include evidence of alien craft. However, there's a multitude of alien craft and UFO videos footage on YouTube available to those that are interested.
Here's a couple of videos provided by Secure Team 10.
