Alien Base: The Evidence for Extraterrestrial Colonization of Earth: THE LUNAR EXCURSION
On arrival at the Moon, Menger began to take more photos, with the aid of some coloured filters given him by his hosts. These particular Polaroid pictures — showing a domed structure rising out of hilly terrain and a saucer hovering above — are interesting, though not unequivocal because they might have been fabricated.
After the spacecraft landed at a dome-shaped building, about 150 feet wide and 50 feet high, the guests were taken, in different groups, for a guided tour of the Moon, in a ‘long train-like vehicle with ten or fifteen coaches with plastic domes over them’ which glided noiselessly about a foot above a ‘copper highway’.
Menger’s description of his alleged lunar visit understandably provoked as much ridicule as that heaped on Adamski’s story. We passed mountains, went through valleys, visited underground installations . . . Huge cliffs and mountains made our own look like ant hills. One particular desert locale brought to mind ‘The Valley of Fire’ in Nevada. There we stopped long enough for our guide to open the door and permit us to stick our heads out for a brief moment, which was all one could take, for it was terribly hot outside — like a blast furnace. I was certain no one could have lived outside very long .
Finally we came to another large dome-shaped building, where we halted and our guide told us we could get out on the moon’s surface where we could breathe the air with little or no difficulty . . . My first impression was that I was in the desert. The air was warm and dry. I could see little wind funnels forming on the ground, drawing up dust particles like tiny whirlwinds. I looked up at the sky. It was a yellowish color. When looking I had the queer impression that if I walked some distance I would fall off, since the horizon seemed foreshortened . . . The ground beneath our feet was like yellowish- white powdery sand, with stones and boulders and some minute plant life showing here and there as we looked around us.
In addition to the group of ‘learned’ Earth people he travelled with in the spacecraft, Menger professes to have spotted ‘hundreds of Russians, Japanese, Germans and other people from other nations’ who also were being taken on a guided tour of the Moon. This seems absurd, because, if true, surely by now at least one other tourist would have come out and spoken about his or her experiences.
