Re: NO 'GREEN CHEESE' HERE ???
Hi Bob ...
I have the book called "Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon". Strangely enough I picked it up at a garage sale too.
Here are a few more..
Susoni
1. "Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon". Don Wilson. Dell Publishing: 1975.
2. "Secrets of Our Mysterious Spaceship Moon". Don Wilson. Dell Publishing: 1979.
These two books purport that our Moon is a hollow spaceship which has been placed into orbit around the Earth. These books are largely based on an article "Is the Moon a Creation of Intelligence?" in Sputnik magazine, by Mikhail Vasin and Alexander Shcherbakov.
Although American scientists have claimed that the article (Sputnik is a Russian scientific magazine) was intended as a joke, Wilson takes this theory and runs with it.
Both books are crammed with evidence - some quite convincing - that "the moon is hollow". Although Wilson also believes that the Moon may be a base for UFOs, it does not necessarily follow from the hollow Moon theory, nor is the hollow Moon theory dependent upon UFO activity for its validity.
The second book (Secrets) is more explicit on some of the scientific and technical evidence for a hollow Moon.
Interestingly enough, all of the traditional theories of the Moon's origin that Wilson rejects in favor of his theory have recently been discarded by the scientific establishment in favor of a new theory - that early in the Earth's history, a huge meteor or planet struck the Earth, breaking off a big chunk which became the Moon.
Doesn't sound much more plausible than a spaceship Moon!
3. Moongate: "Suppressed Findings of the U.S. Space Program": The NASA-Military Cover-up. William L. Brian, II. Future Science Research Publishing Co.: 1982.
Another hollow-moon book. Although I have not yet read it, my understanding is that it uses the "rings like a bell" evidence, McDonald's motion of the moon study (it behaves like a hollow sphere), and the "surface is much denser than the interior is" fact. Unfortunately, I have not run across this accidentally, and it's value is around $40 (more than I want to pay!)
4. "Worlds in Collision". Immanuel Velikovsky. Doubleday: 1950
see also:
5. "Ages in Chaos", Volume I from the Exodus to King Akhnaton. Doubleday: 1952.
5. "Earth in Upheaval". Doubleday: 1955.
6. "Oedipus and Akhnaton Myth and History". Doubleday: 1960.
Peoples of the Sea (Ages in Chaos). Doubleday: 1977.
7. "Ramses II and His Time" (Ages in Chaos). Doubleday: 1978.
8. "Mankind in Amnesia". Doubleday: 1982.
9. "Stargazers and Gravediggers: Memoirs to Worlds in Collision". William Morrow: 1983.
Note: Velikovsky isn't the guy that started it all, but his popular influence is undoubtable. Although he wrote Worlds in Collision and Ages in Chaos at the same time, Worlds was published first. Velikovsky's basic premise here is that Venus (the planet) popped out of Jupiter as a comet. It then approached the Earth, wreaked all sorts of havoc during the time of the Biblical Exodus, and eventually wound up in circular orbit around the sun as the planet it is today.
All of his books are characterized by a literal reading of ancient mythology. Although he lacks the physical evidence necessary to make this truly convincing (later organized in Earth in Upheaval), Worlds is a fascinating read, and at least plausible: why, for example, would mythologies from around the world refer to Venus as a "cloudy" planet? It has no halo now, but may have in its previous existence as a comet. This book had a tremendous impact on the reading public (though not as much impact on astonomers and historians as Velikovsky would like to think), and since Worlds, innumerable books have been written based on a re-reading of mythology to uncover mysteries of the past; though few are done with as thorough research as Velikovsky's.
10. "Moons, Myths and Men". H. S. Bellamy. Harper: 1938
see also:
11. "Built Before the Flood: the Problem of the Tiahuanaco Ruins". Faber & Faber: 1943.
12. "The Atlantis Myth". Faber & Faber: 1949.
13. "The Calendar to Tiahuanaco". with P. Allen. Faber & Faber: 1956.
14. "The Great Idol of Tiahuanaco": an Interpretation in the Light of the Hoerbiger Theory of Satellites of the Glyphs Carved on It. with P. Allen. Faber & Faber: 1959.
Although I have not read it (yet) Moons sounds like an absolutely fascinating book. Bellamy's work examines the mythologies of cultures from across the world. His conclusion is that all of the legends point to a time in human memory when there was no Moon orbiting Earth! Bellamy's work, if true, would support a very recent "capture theory" of the origin of the Moon, or, of course, that the Moon is a spaceship recently arrived!
Note: There are, of course, many "unorthodox" theories out there. This list is composed only of books which do a decent job of supporting their argument. As this general field is a favorite of mine, we will be adding to this list as I read (or hear about) more.

WOW --- WHAT A NICE LIST OF APPLICABLE BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT. YOU MUST HAVE A LIBRARY ABOUT THE SIZE OF MINE. aND IT IS OBVIOUS YOU HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN THIS SUBJECT FOR A LONG TIME.
I REMEMBER WHEN "WORLDS IN COLLISION", BY IMMANUEL VELIKOVSKY, FIRST CAME OUT, A FELLOW NAMED "CHESLEY BONNESTELL" HAD SOME GREAT PAINTINGS WHICH DEPICTED THE STORY IN GLOWING COLOR HOW THE BOOK FASINATED HIM. THESE PAINTINGS WERE ALSO PRINTED IN MAGAZINES AT THE TIME, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS IN ABOUT 1950. I TRIED TO SAVE ALL THE MAGAZINE PICTURES, BUT WERE FINALLY "LOST IN THE SHUFFLE" OF DAILY LIFE.
