This book is the biggest piece of crap I have fallen for in a long time. Totally crazy theories 'supported' by very poorly drawn sketches of what the author 'thinks' he sees in photos of the lunar surface. Included are some reprints of actual NASA photos in which you are supposed to see what the author is talking about. On that note, he seems to see everything but the wreckage of the Titanic! Don't waste your money!

“Somebody Else is On the Moon,” George H. Leonard. Review by Dr. Ali Fant, WB5WAF, 02/26/2021.
I am a former NASA STSOC Space Shuttle Flight Controller. My first mission was “Return to Flight” in 1989 following the 1986 “Challenger” disaster. I left NASA STSOC in November 1995. The Amazon automated browser recommended this book to me as being of possible interest.
The book is interesting, but the information is current only up until the date of publication in 1976. The author lived 12/24/1921-6/26/1994. The author’s primary source is a NASA scientist who refused to be named as a condition for his cooperation. The named scientist is called by the pseudonym “Dr. Samuel Wittcomb.”
From the clues given in the book (and deep Internet research), I suspect “Dr. Samuel Wittcomb” is actually “Dr. Richard Travis Witcomb” of the NASA Langley Research Center. This scientist lived 2/21/1921-10/13/2009. The biographies of both men are very hard to separate fact from fiction.
The book information is based only upon the findings of the Ranger, Surveyor, and Apollo programs. Poor quality monochrome reproductions of NASA photographs are discussed in detail with the conclusions that “they” are already on the Moon, extracting minerals, and ordered us to leave in 1972.
The author writes in the Preface:
“No, I do not know who They are.”
“No, I do not know where They come from.”
“No, I do not know precisely what Their purpose is.”
There is scant information about the author and the pseudonym Dr. Samuel Wittcomb on the Internet.

A through examination of many hundreds of seemingly purposefully built structures on the moon.
Reviewed in the United States on August 7, 2019Verified Purchase
A through, intelligent, and creative investigation and examination of many many hundreds of seemingly purposefully built structures on the moon--and the existence of alien conscious entities on the moon who built them. The author also analyses documented anomalies in the solar system. The author is a brilliant astronomer who is not afraid to expose things that his scientific peers are afraid to talk about in public--(but lucky for us these"experts" do occasionally talk of these things in private, and they opened up in interviews with George Leonard for this book).

This book is quite through in documentation. Unfortunately for the reader the reproduction of the photos and diagrams on rough rather than glossy paper makes examination difficult. The salving grace is that all photos have their original nasa designations so serious researchers can order full size prints from nasa or gaze at those spots if quipped properly.

Hardcover copy, slightly used, Reprint 2013 in India (?). According to the Forward: "In 1976 George H. Leonard published "Someone Else Is on the Moon"..." (Note; "It helps to keep an open mind when dealing with controversial material such as this.").
I found this book more than fascinating, given the limitations of NASA Space-based photography in the 70's. Mr. Leonard is one of the first to actually question the possibility that "Someone Else Is on the Moon", besides Mankind's limited forays to and from our nearest celestial orb.
We now find there are other researchers who have gone so far as to ask provocative questions such as "Who built the Moon" (Christopher Knight, Alan Butler); or much more mundane queries, as to why NASA so abruptly pulled the plug on the Apollo program, never to look back, much less go back? Were we given marching orders to never return because others (ET's, or advanced terrestrials from a breakaway civilization?) who had already laid claim to the Moon long ago, for whatever purpose or agenda (mining, watching us, both?).
- There are a lot of interesting theories out there, all I know is NASA has stayed pretty much uninterested for over four decades, and it leads one to ponder what's really going on? (See: Dark Mission; The Secret History of NASA, by Richard C. Hoagland and Mike Bara for more details).
The best story I've heard (late-night talk radio) was - "The Others" (for lack of a better term) were parked on the ridge of the crater (Tranquility I think) looking on as Neil and Buzz did their historic moon-jaunt, then "The Others" gave them the (seemingly universal?) 'middle-finger' salute. Who can say if that's true or not? However it would appear we may have gotten the message.
- Bottom line; I think George Leonard was way ahead of the curve on this one, but only time (and disclosure) will tell...

I have enjoyed reading the book. Very interesting content. The reason it only gets 3 stars is one of the big draws for me was to see the photographs and the back section with the pics is really poor quality. Honestly, you will very disappointed if you get this for the pictures.

I've heard many stories for years on late night radio about what might be on our Moon? The photos in this book suggest a lot - but we might have to go back to the Moon one day to know for sure... Like Mars, the one absolute way to 'Know' -- is to go (in person - not just robotic probes or rovers).
This new reprint is a great bargain, as used copies are quite expensive (and, also faded a bit). Thanks, Amazon!

Somebody else is taking the Mick
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 2, 2014Verified Purchase
Although not stated this is a reprint of the original courtesy of Ross Marshall. Considering the high cost of the item the seller should have made this clear. I am interested in the possibility of artificial constructs on the Moon and Mars although I have yet to be really convinced that any photos were not Photoshopped.
Plus points: an interesting discourse into artifacts and lights allegedly observed on the Moon over the years, even centuries the author would have you believe. Entertaining and well written with cogent arguments.
Against: Marshall should have checked the spelling of the Foreword. Patrick More? He also states quite arrogantly in my opinion that "The index records the page numbers as printed in the original publishing, but are close enough to locate the subjects in this reprint." Considering how little effort it would have taken to change the page numbers it shows a casual disregard for readers. It is fairly obvious that the original was scanned by OCR and was not properly examined afterwards before being reprinted. There are many lines which are broken by a long gap in the text.
Eg. page 36:
"the Moon's surface, at least
that's the current orthodoxy. If you're really"
These should have been picked up during proof reading. There are also a lot of artifacts left from the OCR translation also not picked up;
Eg. page 139:
"the j explanation was that far out of complex. 1
as intrigued J by the idea of clouds composed of
particulates which, when j stirred up, remained in the
form of a cloud or perhaps a i! couple of minutes"
There are more on the same page, plus far more pages than I could list.
My last complaint is that Marshall apparently used more recent and better quality images to show the constructions and clouds on the Moon. Try as I might, I could not discern anything unusual on any of the photos despite the arrows and boxes which supposedly indicated the site of the anomalies. There are strange things about the Moon, such as why the crater floors are so flat, what caused the rills and how sometimes the rays do not radiate from the centre of the supposed impact site, but nothing on any of the photos.
The book is interesting but the photographic evidence as presented is non-existent and the overall presentation of the text could have been much better with little effort.

Fiction is Alive and Well!!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 22, 2018Verified Purchase
This book was considerably below my expectations. Starting with the quality of the printing, photographs and (in many cases), appalling punctuation, it fell well below accepted standards for a book of this price. A specific criticism concerns the quality of the photos, in which it is almost impossible to identify anything which Mr Leonard says can be seen in the plates. This may be due to the quality of the printing, but is no excuse for lacking almost all detail referred to by Mr Leonard in the accompanying text.
I expected a reasoned narrative in the text, but 95% of Mr Leonard's ramblings appear to be totally nonsensical! With the exception of the "rolling stones", which do appear to have had some sort of motion in the past, judging by their 'trails'.
I could not in all honesty recommend this book.

Fact and not fiction
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 6, 2017Verified Purchase
All the NASA visits to the moon have proved there is life as all the first pictures were not edited like they are now. Ask yourself why so many visits to what most humans claim is a dead rock? There was another motive not made public, and that's why Mars is now the focus of a visit. I purchased this book (again) because the paperback images are far too small to see anything.
