How'd I wind up here.. still going at that UFO highway book. Up to page 124, he says,

"And the same goes for Mars. [101] Buzz Aldrin who was the Lunar Module pilot on Apollo 11, the first manned lunar landing in history, told the world live on C-SPAN that a monolith exists on the moon."

I ask bing AI.

"Copilot

Yes, that’s correct. The monolith Buzz Aldrin referred to is indeed associated with Mars, specifically its moon Phobos. There seems to be a bit of confusion because the term “moon” can refer to any natural satellite, not just Earth’s Moon. Aldrin’s comment about a monolith existing on a moon was in reference to Phobos, one of the two moons orbiting Mars.

The monolith on Phobos is a large, boulder-like geological feature that stands out due to its size and the shadow it casts, making it quite noticeable in images taken by space probes. It’s an interesting object for scientists because studying it could provide insights into the history and geology of Phobos and Mars.

Aldrin’s mention of the monolith was likely aimed at sparking curiosity and promoting the exploration of space, as these kinds of intriguing features can lead to more questions and discoveries about our solar system. The monolith on Phobos is a natural formation, and there’s no evidence to suggest it’s anything other than that. It’s a reminder of the many mysteries that await us in space exploration."

I don't know about that but I was asking it like nevermind that.. in those Kubrick movies.. what was the deal with the monolith and what did it do.

You can ask it about that. Then I'm there.. ok what's the real deal with these monoliths. I do a search on bibliotecapleyades that has so many sub pages of material. I see this page:

Apollo 10 gets glimpse of an extraterrestrial... monolith in space. Later a secret military space shuttle retrieves the space beacon. By Richard Boylan, Ph.D. 1998 from Boylan website.

Let's see if I can copy all this text in here. Oh it's not too much..

The following information was disclosed to me by a reliable confidential informant, who previously worked on contract for the National Security Agency, and maintains connections within the Intelligence community.

This informant, whom I shall call "Jesse", has over 40 years of notes from a very close relative, who served as CIA liaison to the National Security Council on UFO/ET matters.

This information has been confirmed by a second source, Dr. Michael Wolf of the National Security Council’s unacknowledged subcommittee, the MJ-12 Special Studies group. I have talked with Dr. Wolf about the notes’ author, Jesse’s relative. Dr. Wolf said that that CIA official "was like an uncle to me."

The reports which follow are thus not "leaks", but rather based on planned releases of information. These releases are part of a public Acclimation Program, an official though unacknowledged U.S. Government policy of "processed release of information", as Dr. Wolf described it.

According to "Jesse", in 1969 the Apollo 10 astronauts Stafford, Cernan and Young were the first to film an extraterrestrial space beacon, dubbed The Monolith, somewhat like, but smaller than, the one in Arthur C. Clarke’s book/movie "2001". They were not, however, the first astronauts to spot this ET beacon. The Monolith was first sighted by Russian cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, in 1961. He was followed into space that same year by American astronaut Alan Shephard, who also sighted the beacon. Apollo 10 went to it, and filmed it from every angle.

The Monolith acted like a communication beacon.

Jesse said,

"It sort of acts like the message received in the movie "Contact". It had a message on it, in addition to a map of the extraterrestrial civilization which placed it there, and how to get to them."

The Apollo 10 astronauts brought back the message captured on film.

The Monolith’s energy affected Apollo 10’s instrumentation, so that its crew almost didn’t get back. As soon as the film Apollo 10 took came back to Earth, those Intelligence compartments which deal with UFOs were busy poring over information from the Monolith.

The government then used an early secret military space shuttle to go get the Monolith itself. This covert military spacecraft flew years before the first "official" NASA Shuttle’s public flights in 1981. The space-plane is operated by a secret military astronaut program out of Vandenburg Air Force Base, California, among other locations.

The second flight mission of this unacknowledged military shuttle retrieved the Monolith, and brought it back to Earth in 1972 for study. [1]

After being retrieved, the Monolith was then transferred to a secret research facility. Scientific analysis of the Monolith was conducted at this domed underwater facility located north of Abaco, the northernmost of the Bahamas Islands. RCA Corporation is in charge of that experimentation research, Jesse says.

Jesse stated,

"They did it underwater, after they saw people dropping like flies. They figured that there would be better containment [of the Monolith’s suspected cosmic energy emanations] underwater." He noted that the space beacon "has a sound to it, like it talks. It also gives off a light show."

Dr. Michael Wolf shed additional light on the beacons.

"They are ’postcards from the rim’. They emit both light and tone signals, sending a mathematical language. There may be five or more ET civilizations involved in setting up these beacons."

Among the scientists who worked on it were famed astronomer Dr. Carl Sagan, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command General William Stubblebine, (ret.), National Security Council consultant Dr. Michael Wolf, and a former division head of CIA.

Everyone who had prolonged close physical contact with the Monolith got cancer, Jesse says.

"And those who tried to dissect it [the Monolith] died right there on the spot."

The CIA Counter-Intelligence official and Dr. Wolf got colon cancer. The CIA man required surgery, but Dr. Wolf’s cancer later went into a spontaneous remission. Dr. Sagan eventually died of his cancer.

Jesse feels that there are many more space beacons out in space, acting as "postcards".

"I’m sure Mother Russia had one." [2]

Jesse also revealed a 1973 formula for gravity control, used by the military to construct antigravity aerospace vehicles.[a] He disclosed that noted quantum physicist Jack Sarfatti was in a position to be familiar with this gravity formula used by the government.

Jesse observed,

"With regard to Sarfatti, as I can determine it [from the notes], he was on site doing work on the relationship between downed UFO’s and back-engineering, to the degree that he assisted in the gravity makeup formulae."

Jesse added that Sarfatti noticed that the captured UFO’s field propulsion guidance was focused on the ET pilot.

"[The UFO pilot console] had the hand placement with micro holes and light-emitting senses [sensors] to feel the impulse of the sudden hand movement; hence it [pilot and UFO] became as one. The driver always feels the outer skin’s ’road feel’, so it [the UFO] can handle better than a Corvette at 125 mph in fifth gear in the big curve."

Jesse added,

"Then again, Sarfatti has these [formula] numbers... he can attest to the numbers and even affirm that [antigravity field propulsion] is in use today! Matter of fact, the formulae even tell a story of the skin association between flyer and craft." [3]

They [ET pilots] think [a command]... and go. Sort of like... point-click and ship! Boom... you’re there."

"The RAND Corporation (a CIA think tank) holds the key to the [gravity-control] formulae." Jesse revealed. "Our Navy even set up the United Earth Space Naval Forces. I believe this group to be in existence today."

[a] U.S. Government’s old gravity-control formula:

phi(x) =<0lphi(x) l0 > + &phi(x), where <0lphi(x)l0> is the vacuum expectation value, and m2^<0lphi(x)l0>^2 represents the particle’s density of the ground state in the non-relativistic limit. The action of this field in the presence of gravity is... intrinsic gravitational cosmological constant Lambda/ 8piG receives a contribution (1/2) m2^<0lphi(x)l0>^2

So this is kind of neat.. usually in these sci-fi movies.. it's based of real things they dealt with.
