I'll probably inherit the new Magik nickname but hey what the hell.
All the people instantly dismissing these sorts of things are equally as uneducated (for lack of a better word) about the subject as those who make such claims.
It seems to me there is rarely anyone on the fence with such things.
There are people who dismiss such claims out-right, sometimes (as seen above) without even seeing or researching the 'evidence' provided.
On the flip-side, there are those who avidly believe in UFO's and being deceived by higher powers, and like the prior, believe so without looking for alternative explanations. For example, If you watched the video they mentioned lightning being seen inside some craters, but this can be explained without any theories of aliens, but instead electrical discharge on the moon.
But there are a few middle-men, those who try to debunk claims like these, looking for evidence both for and against. These people I think are the only ones who provided any actual insight into such claims, rather than just opinion.
Let's be honest, your next-door neighbours could be getting robbed right now and you probably wouldn't know, how can you be so certain you 'know' what's going on on the Moon some 240,000 miles away. You don't (both for and against UFO's and the like) and there are very few people who actually do, you've seen photos but that's it.
I think the real reason people don't truly know is the simple and sad fact people don't seem to care. I'm going to sound like a right hippy now but how often have you just stood and thought about where you actually are in relation to the solar system, the galaxy and the universe? Funnily enough light pollution is a bugger to realising this (that and English weather) Yes we see the moon, but how often do you stare up at it and contemplate how far away it is, how insignificant we are.
I'm rambling so I'll just leave you with an incredible video (no aliens mentioned). If we could see this with our own eyes most nights I think more people would care about what/who else is out there.
