Summary

Welcome back to The UFO Rabbit Hole podcast. Today we turn our attention to our nearest neighbor, and the anchor for some of those most compelling and mysterious stories in the UFO lore—the Moon.Hanging serenely in the night sky, its face unchanging aside from the precise pendulum swing of the lunar cycle, the Moon is our constant companion. It’s the one heavenly body that we can easily observe with the naked eye, and as such it feels deeply familiar to us.But what if there is more to the Moon than we ever realized? It’s an unnerving thought to consider that the Moon as we know it might not be what we think it is at all. But that’s exactly what the deep UFO lore surrounding the Moon suggests.In this episode we’ll discuss theories for the origins of the Moon (including the theory that it might be an alien superstructure), the mysteries surrounding the Apollo missions and the moon landing, what some of the top astronauts from the early space program have said about the Moon, and we’ll even tell a story about Neil Armstrong that I, frankly, straight up didn’t believe the first time I heard it.NEW Class from Dr. James MaddenUnidentified Flying Hyperobject: UFOs, Philosophy, and the End of the WorldFour-week online class via ZoomWednesdays, March 27 – April 24 (skips April 10), 20247 – 9 pm ETLearn More About the ClassSign Up NowThe Full Ross Coulthart Interview On Theories Of Everything With Curt JaimungalGET THE EPISODE BRIEFBECOME A PATRONGET THE BOOKGet a SIGNED COPYGet it on AmazonFOLLOWWebsiteTwitterFacebookMUSICTheme: Cabinet of Curiosities by Shaun FrearsonMusic Break One: Insomniac’s Dream by SémøMoon Landing: No One Is Out Here by Yehezkel RazOutro: Moon by Space DovesSupport the showBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-ufo-rabbit-hole-podcast--5746035/support.

0:36.5	Today, we turn our attention to our nearest neighbor and the

0:46.2	Hanging serenely in the night sky, its face unchanging, aside from the precise pendulum swing

1:08.5	that the moon as we know it might not be what we think it is at all,
1:12.5	but that's exactly what the deep UFO lore surrounding the moon suggests.
1:17.3	So could it be true?
1:19.5	In this episode, we'll examine everything that's just straight up weird about the moon
1:24.3	and try to get to the bottom of the many mysteries that present themselves.
1:29.5	But first, if we're going to talk about the mysteries and lore surrounding the moon landing,
1:34.8	it feels inevitable that we'll come across the question of whether or not we did, in fact,

1:50.7	If you're unfamiliar, the story goes something like this. When JFK made his famous 1962 speech,
1:57.2	declaring that the United States would put a man on the moon by the end of the decade,
2:04.4	it was more than just an inspiring primetime soundbite.
2:09.6	More than a decade into the Cold War, both the U.S. and the Soviet Union were pouring enormous resources into developing increasingly advanced weapons and other technology in a battle
2:15.6	for global dominance. Putting a man on the moon wouldn't just be a major flex to own the commies.
