John Brandenburg, Ph.D., was involved in the Clementine Mission to the Moon, which was part of a joint space project between the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) and NASA. The mission discovered water at the Moon poles in 1994. He was the deputy manager of that mission. It is noteworthy to mention that the Russian government recently called for an international investigation into the U.S. moon landings regarding missing artifacts (lunar rocks) and the disappearance of film footage.
According to Brandenburg, it was the Clementine Mission, a photo reconnaissance mission, conducted basically to check out if someone was building bases on the moon that we did not know about. Were they expanding them? He also went on to state that after the completion of the Clementine Mission, the photos were analyzed by an elite defense department team with the highest security clearance. They basically kept to themselves and just did their work, and he was told not to interfere with them.
The mission was designed to investigate and map all corners of the moon. This is a very brief background of someone who is clearly a well respected academic in his field. Not long ago, Brandenburg joined a long and growing list of academics who are helping to pull back the curtain that has been blinding the public for what seems to be a very long time, even though this subject is still ridiculed by many in the academic world.
It was during the Clementine Mission, more specifically, the mapping of the Lunar Surface, that Brandenburg began to suspect an extraterrestrial presence on the moon. Of all the pictures he has seen from the moon that show possible structures, the most impressive is a picture of a miles wide recto-linear structure. This looked unmistakably artificial, and it should not be there (and it was not geological in nature?). As somebody involved in the space defense community, he reports on any such structure on the moon with great concern because it is not ours.
