NASA declares war on ET? - countdown!

     Wow, does time fly?  It's hard to believe that is has been almost four months since I wrote my initial article on NASA's flight to "bomb" (a controversial term) the moon!  Now, in just a few days, it's going to happen!  According to MUFON s Board of Director, Clifford Clift, who has studied Moon anomalies, amateur astronomers will be able to see the action through common telescopes.  Get out your telescopes and get ready for the excitement!!   Don't have a telescope, watch it on your computer.  NASA plans on having a live NASA TV Broadcast for the LCROSS 5:15 a.m. MDT, Oct. 9, on NASA TV.

      Just as a recap, NASA has launched the Lunar CRater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS).  to send unmanned probes of the moon.   As NASA would like you to believe:

"The LCROSS mission is a search for water on the moon. The LCROSS mission is going to do this by sending a rocket crashing into the moon causing a big impact and creating a crater, throwing tons of debris and potentially water ice and vapor above the lunar surface. This impact will release materials from the lunar surface that will be analyzed for the presence of hydrated minerals which would tell researchers if water is there or not.

    LCROSS will bomb the moon on October 9, 2009.. The plan is to drop  a 2 ton Kinetic "bomb"  (or impactor the word NASA prefers)  at a speed of 5,600 where, upon impact,  it will create a new crater on the moon which is 5 miles wide and expel a cloud of vapor or moon dust, gas and hopefully vaporized waster and ice about 6 miles high. Astronomers on Earth and especially the Hubble Space Telescope will get a great view of the explosion. I understand from various sources that there is now a discrepancy as to the size of the crater which will be created  by the Kinetic 'bomb"  NASA previously reported a crater of 5 miles wide, but some readers and sources now tell me the crater will be only the size of a tennis court..

     Just last week NASA reported the final projections for the project.  The final impact time will be on Friday, October 9, 2009 at 5:31:30 a.m. MDT, (Denver, time) and will hit a crater called Cabeus.  According to Clifford of MUFON, the crater is really a safe distance form any moon anomalies which may be considered

structures that are possibly UFO related.    Last weeks shift as to the impact location was a direct result, in part,  of  data obtained from the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) a counterpart to the LCROSS mission.  LRO has independently verified the presence of hydrogen and hinted that the potential of water or ice was more widespread than believed  earlier.  According to Clift, the location was also changed to Cabeus because of the excellent mapping system of the Chandrayaan  satellite from India.    Even Japan's Kaguya spacecraft. was relied on in this mission.  Surprise, and you thought only the U.S. was capable of landing or had missions to the moon!  HA!  Don't please don't be as narrow minded as the main stream press!

     So, you are probably wondering to yourself, why did NASA  spend three years preparing to send this $79 million space craft to "bomb" the moon just to remove 350 metric tons of space dirt  and create just four minutes  of space dust?   Is this another NASA "non-event"?

     What about the aliens that are reported to have left buildings on the Moon?  Do they still live there?  NASA says it is just looking for water on the moon?  Didn't they already find it?  We'll these are things we will discuss in  my next article.
