Richard C. Hoagland identified the Apollo 10 photograph frame number he was studying and sought to acquire, from sources outside the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Apollo 10 photographic maps and other data pertaining to the image.
“Still measuring, he copied down the Apollo 10 frame number. The next step involved attempting to acquire, from sources outside NASA, Apollo 10 photographic maps and other data pertaining to this image.”

One of Richard C. Hoagland's colleagues had saved original documents from the Apollo missions from over a quarter of a century earlier, and sent copies of the Apollo 10 maps and documentation to Hoagland.
“one of Hoagland’s colleagues had carefully saved original documents from the Apollo missions, from over a quarter of a century ago. Soon, copies of the crucial Apollo 10 maps and other documentation were on their way.”

The Apollo 10 footprint maps indicated that someone had wanted the Apollo 10 astronauts to extensively photograph the entire Sinus Medii/Ukert region of the Moon.
“it soon became obvious, from even casually looking at these quarter-of-a-century-old NASA “footprint maps,” that someone, early on, had very much wanted the Apollo 10 astronauts to simply photograph the hell out of the entire Sinus Medii/Ukert region”

Ken Johnston found a newly posted image on the Apollo Lunar Surface Journal website, taken from the Apollo 17 Lunar Module looking down on the Taurus-Littrow Valley landing site just before the Apollo 17 landing, that confirmed the prismatic colours of the Moon.
“one of the “team” (Ken Johnston) found yet *another* image that ultimately confirmed the “prismatic colors” of the Moon; the image was taken from the Apollo 17 Lunar Module, looking down upon the Taurus-Littrow Valley landing site, just before the A-17 Landing itself.”

Richard C. Hoagland ordered the entire 70mm hand-held photographic sequence taken by the Apollo 10 crew across Ukert in May 1969, from an inside NASA source, the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC), and directly through the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)'s Johnson Space Center.
“Hoagland proceeded to order—from another “inside” source at NASA, then directly from NSSDC and (simultaneously) through NASA’s Johnson Space Center—the entire 70mm, hand-held photographic sequence taken by the Apollo 10 crew across Ukert in May 1969.”

Analysis of Apollo 10 images AS10-32-4854, AS10-32-4855 and AS10-32-4856 of the western Sinus Medii region confirmed the presence of the Tower/Cube from a mission completely different from Lunar Orbiter.
“Analysis of Apollo images of this same western Sinus Medii region—AS 10- 32-4854, AS 10-32-4855 and ASIO-32-4856—confirmed the presence of the Tower/Cube, and from a completely different mission than Lunar Orbiter (Apollo 10).”

Richard C. Hoagland used a 486 personal computer, a 1600 dpi scanner, and contemporary digital photo-processing software to analyse old National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) photos and negatives, beginning with Apollo 10 and the unmanned Lunar Orbiter and Surveyor programmes.
“Armed with a 486 personal computer, a 1600 dpi scanner and a variety of then state-of-the-art digital photo-processing software—more powerful than all the millions of dollars in equipment and manpower that NASA had twenty-five years before—Hoagland began anew to analyze, from his desktop, old NASA photos and negatives—beginning with Apollo 10 and the unmanned Lunar Orbiter and Surveyor Programs.”

In We Found Alien Bases on the Moon, one lunar image stood out to Richard C. Hoagland: three reproductions at various magnifications of a single hand-held Apollo 10 orbital frame acquired by an astronaut during the Apollo 10 mission.
“In Steckling’s non-stop comedy of errors... one lunar image suddenly stood out: three reproductions (at various magnifications) of a single, hand-held Apollo orbital frame acquired by an astronaut “sometime during the mission of Apollo 10.””

Richard C. Hoagland suspects that Gene Cernan's silent protest at the 2004 announcement stemmed from something more than a political disagreement with George W. Bush, possibly connected to the Apollo 17 mission and Cernan's role in it.
“We began to suspect that there was something more to Cernan's silent protest than a mere political disagreement with President Bush. Perhaps there was something more, something about the Apollo 17 Mission … and Cernan's role in it at work here.”

In 1998, Richard C. Hoagland's original assessment of the Apollo 17 mission found the landing site's location to be extremely dangerous.
“The first thing that struck Hoagland in his original assessment of the Apollo 17 Mission, back in 1998, was the incredibly dangerous look of the landing site.”

The Apollo 17 landing at Taurus-Littrow was by far the riskiest Apollo landing, requiring Gene Cernan to set the lunar module Challenger down among mountains between approximately 2,000 and 2,500 metres tall on a valley floor littered with large craters.
“This was by far the riskiest Apollo landing of them all, as Gene Cernan would be required to set the lunar module *Challenger* down among gigantic (6,500 to 8,200 feet tall) mountains on a valley floor littered with large craters.”

Richard C. Hoagland, after looking at the Apollo 17 landing site images from Lunar Orbiter, wondered what could be so significant about the site that NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) would attempt such a hazardous landing.
“In originally looking at the Apollo 17 landing site images from Lunar Orbiter, Hoagland began to wonder: what could possibly be so significant about this site that NASA would attempt such a hair-raising landing?”

The Apollo 17 landing ellipse at 19.5 degrees is close to, but not exactly at, a 19.5 degrees by 33 degrees tetrahedral location similar to the Mars Pathfinder landing site selection, differing by roughly 64 kilometres in latitude and 2 degrees in longitude.
“Just like the *Pathfinder* landing site selection on Mars years later, it was very close to a 19.5º x 33º tetrahedral location—but, 2º on the Moon equates to nearly forty miles away from the Taurus-Littrow landing site, and that site rests at 31ë longitude, not 33º.”

Keith Laney identified a massive, hexagonal mountain located almost in the centre of the Apollo 17 landing ellipse, later officially named the South Massif.
“In more closely examining the proposed landing site years later, it became obvious to Keith Laney what the attraction was. There, in almost the center of the ellipse, was a massive, hexagonal mountain. Officially dubbed the "South Massif" for purposes of navigation, the mountain has at least four clearly visible and near-equal length sides, and the implications of two more sides that were obscured in the collapse of the main structure”

Richard C. Hoagland considers the only viable alternative explanation for the layering on the massifs to be that it is a surface manifestation of heavily eroded, repeating, artificial three-dimensional cell-like constructions, exposed and re-eroded by continual meteorite bombardment.
“The only viable alternative is that this mysterious "layering"—repeatedly seen (and photographed) by the Apollo 17 crew—is only a surface manifestation of some kind of now heavily eroded, repeating, artificial, *3-D* "cell-like" *constructions.* It is these former highly geometric rooms which are constantly being exposed (and then eroded back …) by an incessant meteorite bombardment of these massive lunar "mountains"”

Richard C. Hoagland considers a comparison of Apollo 17 lunar surface footage from the original 1972 NASA transmission and a 2005 rebroadcast to show distinct "honeycombing" on a small background feature known on NASA maps as Mons Vitruvius, visible in the enhanced 2005 version of the original broadcast.
