Greetings,

Welcome to The Lunascan Project web site. Not much happened in 2004 but look out 2005! To keep up with the latest research and findings we urge you to check this message periodically for updates.

One lunar mission is already sending images back and two more are about to begin their missions. ESA's SMART-1 is operating as you are reading this very web page. Chandrayaan-1 and TransOrbital's Trailblazer are next in line, the latter designed to obtain live, high-definition videos. See full details and press releases at  the LPIT Briefing  site The Lunascan Project Imaging Team is preparing a priority list of features and specific targets, and you can be kept up-to-date by visiting the site.

The overall Lunascan Project description can be found at  Status Report No.1. Of particular interest is the report on the detection of an object apparently near the Moon in 1996 at Status Report No. 3.

An updated video, "ULO-092196 & The Lunascan Project: 2001" covers both detailed papers and is available for a $20 donation. An added bonus is the actual video footage from the Tycho of August 1996.  See address below.  A CD showing the stunning digitized video images of ULO-092196, originally $10, is free with this DVD.

Be sure to visit the sections  page (76 nearside lunar Section Directories) where we've recently added considerable information.

The "Best Images of the Moon" (originally "Fifty Views") page has been updated.

The controversey around the September 1999 Sky & Telescope article, "The TLP Myth", is very well countered at  ltpmyth?

The primary goal of The Lunascan Project is a world-wide team effort to conduct live & recorded scanning of the lunar surface in search of evidence (including repeat activity) of Lunar Transient Phenomena and "fastwalkers".  If you have a telescope equipped with a video or digital camera (or even standard photo equipment) and want to be part of our Lunascan Project Imaging Team, please contact us at the email address below.

Our secondary goal, since September 1997, is to produce an international interlink site for LTP research. To that end The Lunascan Project has produced, and continues to update, The Lunascan Project web site. If you are aware of any reputable or noteworthy lunar site, please advise us so we can place it on our directory at links

If you're not on our Mailing List, be sure and email us ASAP. We're usually emailing Lunascan Updates almost every day.  Be sure and specify "Lunascan".
