THC 49: Mike Bara | Ancient Aliens On The Moon
Lunar Formation Theories, Oxygen Isotopes and Fission
The guest evaluates three major theories of lunar formation: the spin-off fission theory, the accretion theory, and the "big whack" Mars-sized impact theory. Barra rejects the impact theory based on recent studies of oxygen isotopes and titanium ratios which show the Moon is identical to Earth's composition. He favors the fission theory, suggesting the Moon was spun off from a molten Earth, later undergoing modifications by an outside intelligence.
