According to David Icke's postulation regarding the Moon Matrix, and based on the research of many others who've studied the moon's many anomalies, the moon is an artificial orb that was pulled here for specific gravitational and other earth controlling purposes.
The recent striking NASA photos of the moon give a very clear impression.
First, it's obvious the moon is hardly geographically similar to the earth. You see no huge irregular ridges like earth's massive mountain ranges or deep trenches such as those within our oceans. But even more than that, the moon very much does look like a metallic sphere with a dust covering that has been hit many times over but only to a specific depth--much like the affect of rain drops on a hard surface with a substantial covering of dust.
