Don't get me wrong.
I don't LOVE the silly explanations they wheel out (although i would LOVE to know what they think of the CERES BASE Photo's i posted but how can they own up to knowing of any such a thing? it would be plastered all over the news!)
Personally speaking i can't think of what else this could be if not a base or a series of objects brought together? it's certainly NOT natural to my eyes, what about you folks? as usual your quiet but if ever that's an Artifact then maybe i should call it a day searching these photographs from the various missions.
And yet i still LOVE NASA & the MISSIONS, i really do wish they would be more honest with us though, they just seem to be digging a bigger hole they just don't seem to be able to get out of (probably military pressures i'm sure) when disclosure finally comes it should prove to be very interesting how they go about it.
Anyhow here is a kind of tribute to NASA...a few photo's of my NASA / SPACE collection...Hope you enjoy them and inspires you to seek out some yourself maybe...

And the final photo's...
Probably have about the same again stashed away in boxes somewhere, i also have an original APOLLO 13 movie poster showing the spacecraft in trouble close to the Moon...if ever i find it and dig it out and display it i'll try to remember to take a picture and show it to you all, SUPER poster far better than the helmet version.

So what have we got here?
Well there are some RARITES and there are some items you can still get a hold of even today, fairly CHEAPLY...
The affordable, cheaper items which are still a delight are the Pins...
The majority i believe to be original NASA Space Shuttle Mission Pins (and can still be found for just £2-3 pounds each if your lucky, although the shuttle shaped one which turned out to be a true disaster now seems to be asking around £10 alone)
The first day stamped cover feaures lovely artwork and can probably still be picked up for just a few pounds.
I have also seen the 7 inch record "MAN ON THE MOON" (a record of APOLLO 11's Mission) with a magnificent fold out cover detailing the trip there & back, can be found for as little as £5 but i paid nearly £10 for this one, arghhh (but it's in truly nice condition though, NM)
The 3D View master reels for the MOON LANDING are superb, kinda makes you feel like your looking out of the porthole of the spacecraft at times and these can be picked up for around £15 I've noticed (again i paid more for mine £20 i think)
I've previously mentioned the miniature Glass Marbles set of the Earth & Moon and if you search on E-Bay you will still find this set being sold for around the £10-12 mark, need to find a little display base for these, really nice though...you can actually say "I've got the whole WORLD in my hands"
And then we get to the pricey stuff and some of the RARER & HARD to FIND material...
I think you can still pick up one of the Limited Edition Medals (2,000 made i think) with Plastic Case with metal flown to MOON Orbit which is KINDA COOL (the metal came from one of the Apollo 13 ring binders) but last time i checked you could now only get these from the USA priced around $29 (approx. £25) which in my eyes is a GREAT BUY and one hell of an investment (in truth this one shown here is my father's and it will NEVER EVER be SOLD if i can help it) the raised embossed ARTWORK on it is simply STUNNING!!!...i can see this increasing in price many many times over but again i just simply LOVE the item and the history itself.
What do you think of the Russian Space Rocket Lamp?
That's really Stylish isn't it?, lights up Green in the Base and Red up through the tube giving a feel of BLAST OFF and is decorated with small Russian achievement plaques around the base including a Cosmonaut.
Took a risk and ordered this on E-Bay from the Ukraine and to my surprise it arrived, works wonderfully using a British plug adapter but sadly had a very small chip out of the glass right at the top which means the rocket can become a little loose when moved, got a partial refund so ended up costing approx. £40 all in but well worth it as i could not find another one for sale here in the UK.
The Original UK press photo's you can see down the right hand side are from the original APOLLO Missions (mainly APOLLO 17 the last mission to the MOON well officially but with a few APOLLO 15 one's too) what i wouldn't give for more original APOLLO 11 press photo's...you'll notice i do have one of those, all matted & framed up showing Buzz Aldrin and the Flag, it has some relevant info on the back of it too but was, if i remember rightly kind 'a costly at around £20, although i have seen these on sale in the US of A for far far more than this (many times this)...so this was a good buy i think and looks WONDEFUL....again will never be sold, LOOKS GREAT when displayed and is i think the kind of investment (if that's what your looking for) that will pay off handsomely in the future, me? i brought it simply because i LOVE this famous image & it's an original complete with Hasslebramd camera info on the back.
As for the other very rare UK APOLLO Press Photo's...i think i got lucky with these as i have seen similar one's actually selling for around the $20-30 each range, so times that by 8 and simply try finding another original one of these with such subject matter, showing the actual mission and astronauts involved (rather than just behind the scenes types which you can find from time to time) a nice lucky buy this...think i got the LOT for about £20 only!!!!
The other Original Press Photo you can see which is framed and is i believe really rather RARE is the one showing the first SPACE SHUTTLE Mission to launch a Satilite into Earth Orbit.
Being a fan of artwork you can see how i might like this one...showing the swooping Shuttle deploying this said 1st sat into orbit, this came from the actual company that deployed the said satalite and was picked up for around £12 so as you can see there are SPACE COLLECTIBLE BARGAINS to be had if you look....this i think is worth many more times this but again is one unlikely to ever be sold.
"All we did was Fly to the Moon" Book can be picked up fairly cheaply and is a GREAT read focusing on NASA's SPACE missions, it is SUPERB and WONDEFULLY illustrated, basic copy can be brought for around £5 but this is the signed by the author issue picked up for £10.
I collect POP UP BOOKS, yup i said it, a grown man who collects pop up books
LOVED 'EM since i was a kid and still do, i have Star Trek one's, A Black Hole one, Tron, Dinosaurs, Space, Hollywood Scenes and this one here which is probably the rarest and most expensive one i have ever brought, it is in very good condition as you can see and ALL the pop up's work.
PAID over £30 for this but can't remember if it was £35 or £40...had to ask about condition as this was and is prcey but i'm so glad i took the plunge and brought it, it's a corker of a pop up book and features the Story of the APOLLO MISSIONS whilst the missions were going on (as this book dates to the early 1970's)
Might not ever be worth anymore than this but damn do i love it...POP UP's i just can't help it
There are 3 official NASA photo's in the middle...the launch of the Saturn rocket is my favourite with info on the back and these can still be picked up for around £5 each.
And finally the HARD-TO-FIND Newspaper APOLLO MISSION Slide Sets for APOLLO's 11, 12 & 15, complete with their covers (albeit torn.
Each set if found last time i checked tends to be for sale for around £15 each.
WHAT'S MISSING? Ah the LUNAR MISSION ONE Patch well it might still happen (fingers crossed)

And you folks thought i was just a UFO / ALIENS nut
Nah, in actual fact i'm probably as normal as you reading this, it's just that i have probably read and discovered more about that kind of stuff from a young age as my father introduced me to this subject and all those 1970's & 80's sci-fi Tv series so i guess i never had a chance of escaping the subject.
Growing up all i knew was the Apollo missions and the Saturn Rockets & Skylab and then in my teens along came the Space Shuttle Missions, blimey if only i knew then what i know (or think i know) now my little head would have exploded...the footage for most of these missions would be enough alone for many to see, consider and then proclaim yup that's some strange _ _ _ _
I was innocent at this time and simply LOVED NASA creating all these missions including trips to Mars, Voyager 1 & 2, Hubble etc, yup if i could have worked for NASA i would have but then at that time i thought they were above board and NOT withholding discoveries and coming up with excuses for sightings and the like, sometimes so silly it's untrue, HOW DID THIS wonderful organization COME TO THIS?
I mean an astronaut outside of the ISS using his hand to shield a UFO craft that can still be seen...craziness that just very sadly makes them look silly in many people's eyes but i still hold them in HIGH REGARD despite this (you'll never really understand how much they mean to me, i dreamed many dreams through them!)
Can NASA return to something like i remember and not be an online laughing stock?
I do dearly hope so, it begins with openness, i don't know if that thing on Ceres captured by DAWN is a rover? maybe it is one almighty coincidence and it is an artefact (i still don't mind being wrong as i prefer truth but it sure looks something like a rover) and then there's that BASE looking like photo i found on CERES, again, maybe i am wrong but boy that sure looks like something.
And of course there's the 'BIG' issue if all these things around us...Close to to the Moon & Earth Orbit, i just don't think they can explain them away anymore, it simply does NOT make sense, they're here or something is and they're all over the place and look to have been so since at least the 1950's but in all likelihood for centuries.
It may well be...in the end that NASA were actually protecting us all from truly shocking or disturbing news but the truth will always out eventually and i think we're now getting close & with that i wish you all a goodnight.
BACK Tomorrow (i think) with postings of PLUTO, as with the Ceres base pictures i was trying to figure what those shapes upon that small curiously shaped rocky outcrop sitting in what appears to be the ice sheet of Pluto was all about? and i have to say i still find it hard to believe that the shapes upon this one place could feature so MANY different shapes & angles that would appear to be strangely UN-NATURAL...but of course your free to comment if you wish?
It seems to me either i'm completely wrong and the majority of you folks are smiling back at the screen thinking he's at it again OR maybe, just maybe i may have persuaded a few of you that there's something not quiet right with Ceres and / or Pluto.
Until Tomorrow my Friends
