Poppycock on wheels

Warning: Spoilers
Professional video documentary producers and directors DO NOT mix real-life imagery with artwork and model shots, with intent to deceive the audience into believing that the real-life imagery is more persuasive than it really is.

Robert Kiviat was guilty of this "video sin" over and over in this hilariously contrived piece of film-flam. The images purporting to show alien structures on the Moon are laughably unconvincing, so they had to be "boosted."

Mike Bara, a laid-off CAD-CAM technician with no training in geology or image interpretation (and, in fact, a well deserved reputation for botching Apollo Moon imagery) told us about a "giant paper-clip" and a "mile wide Ziggurat". These are simply lies. The paper-clip is a curly fiber in an amateur scanner that wasn't kept clean. The Ziggurat is a spoof that Bara stumbled across on the "Call of Duty Zombies" web forum.

Lee Spiegel fell for another hoax, the "crashed spacecraft" on the Moon. Examination of the far better images from Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter proves that this is just a dune feature, cratered exactly the same as its surroundings.

Pathetic.
