I've looked at Moon through a telescope and seen the 'glow around the edge'. It's blue (thin blue line) and I did not see it all around the moon, but I definitely did see it, more than once. Official explanations? They get rather convoluted. Here is the latest one: Dust in the lunar ionosphere (http://science.nasa.gov/science-news...narionosphere/),Posted by str8thinker (here)
If the far side of the moon has an atmosphere, why doesn't this cause a "glow" at the edge that we can see? And why doesn't the atmosphere leak over to the side that we can see?
What evidence is there for this? I can find nothing relating to Adamski. On the other hand, Menger might have been used by the Pentagon, but for a different reason.(Mutchie) Two of these contactees were George Adamski & Howard Menger,who unbeknownst to the general public both became secret advisors to the pentagon.
There seems considerable evidence that Adamski was a fraud:Later, in letters to investigators Jim Mosely and Gray Barker (publisher of From Outer Space to You), Menger described his book as 'fiction-fact' and implied that the Pentagon had given him the films of saucers and requested he participate in an experiment to test the public's reaction to extraterrestial contact.' He has helped us, therefore, to dismiss his entire story as not only a hoax, but a hoax perpetrated by the US Government,' wrote Keel.

More on Adamski:There are three types of Adamski fans :
1. the credulous ones who believe all what Adamski said, either in his books or in his lectures, without ever questioning it
2. those who are afraid to recognize they could have been duped and who find it easier to believe than to deny
3. those who know he was a liar and who say the contrary for various reasons that I leave to your imagination.

This image taken from William Brian's 1982 book Moongate indicates that Menger's description was similar to that of Adamski's, as noted by John Lear (see Howard Menger - Extraterrestrials link below). However, it does not exclude the possibility that one of them might have copied the description from the other.

My own position: Adamski's claims are fairly easy to debunk, Menger's less so. As for the Moon, there may well be hidden bases on the other side, but hardly forests and lakes as claimed.
There are several other threads in Project Avalon relating to the Moon.
