Outstanding Book
Just had to jump in here -- got the book 2 days ago and could not put it down... very fast reading and it really makes one think -- Rob's book is "brain candy." Whereas Jim Marrs wrote Alien Agenda and included an analysis of the Moon, Rob has 1/2 of his new book analyzing where the ETs come from, what they are probably up to, why they are on the Moon (and Phobos?), and what they are doing with/to us... While he proves nothing, his logic is sound and he is probably correct in a lot of the qualified conclusions he draws.Having just read Virtual Earth Graduate (VEG) by Hegland, I thought I had heard it all and understood 90% of the ET-Earth-Moon-UFO scenario (because VEG does cover it all) and then Rob inserts a couple of things that expanded what I was already thinking. For example, instead of the Anunnaki causing the Flood 10-12,000 years ago, the Moon coming into orbit around the Earth (and it IS a spaceship... get used to it), was most likely the culprit in unseating the Antarctic icecap resulting in the Flood. He also reveals that the disabled Apollo 13 trip to the Moon, which was headed to an ET 'forbidden' zone (to explore what appeared to be an entrance to what we think is a cavern), was 'stopped' and then they 'rescued' our astronauts by getting them safely back into Earth orbit. Lastly, he reasonably discusses the probability of a base on the Moon's far side.As a side note, we are not going back to the Moon and Rob addresses that issue, too. We have been warned off -- Do they really want humans tramping all over their craft? Instead we spend more money sending robotic surveyors to Mars and avoid what is in our own backyard. Rob addresses this issue. Lastly, it reminds me of a video several years ago of a news conference that GW Bush gave where he was rah-rah promoting a return to the Moon and the camera caught E. Cernan's (Apollo 17) reaction: he looked like he wanted to strangle 'W' -- he was obviously very upset with something he knew would not be happening... ..Rob gives a lot of thought to how the ETs would be xenophobic as a way to protect themselves (hence they maintain their distance) and yet they are benevolent and have superior technology... all which makes us realize that we are not alone and not the top of the foodchain! If they were hostile, we would not be here now; they would have taken what they wanted and pushed us aside. They obviously "rule the skies" (book's title) with their advanced technology and there is nothing we can do about it...(hence the Air Force denial? How can you reveal what they are to the public and then tell us that we cannot control our own skies!?) Hopefully the ET seek an alliance with us, and seek to grow us into a species that can withstand any hostile Others finding us -- thanks to our unwise broadcasting of radio waves into the surrounding galaxy! Real food for thought.I highly recommend Rob's book as it causes one to reassess what s/he thinks they know about Earth, the Moon and our place in the universe.

A good primer for a strange topic
This was not a bad book on what you (the average public) would more than likely consider a very flaky subject. I myself don't, as anything's possible in my book. The book has some cosmetic formatting issues, but is easily readable. The exposition does run on and repeat itself quite often, as if the writer's really trying to hammer some points in. I'm also not quite certain if the writer realizes the International Space Station is up there right now, and that it's not Skylab.Mr. Shelsky has some well-thought out ideas about the Moon itself and a lot of them make sense on face value (not knowing the actual science myself, it's hard to evaluate the viability of the ideas; I will say there is logic to nearly all of them). The gist of the arguments is that the Moon is both hollow and inhabited by an alien race, which may or may not be primarily responsible for the UFO phenomena in our skies on Earth, and for the fact that Mankind has not returned to the Moon (as in landing on it) for the past forty years (it should be noted that other avenues of space exploration, primarily the Skylabs and the Space Shuttle programs, which replaced the Apollo program in terms of cost-effectiveness, are completely ignored as possible, and perhaps more probable, reasons for that cutback on the American front; it is mentioned that the Chinese are attempting Lunar missions, with limited success).The title and cover are a tad more sensationalistic than the text would indicate, as this is not a book about evil aliens controlling our skies from their lunar base. That's perhaps one consideration in one chapter; again this is much more thought out and dissertative than some pulp magazine tract. There are plenty of other works out there that will attempt to instill the fear into you. While it was a little drawn-out in places, I have to say I enjoyed reading this book, and I've picked up the previous work by Mr. Shelsky to get some of the background (hopefully) on the Moon and more of its strangeness, at least as the author sees it.

The Moon Might Be More Than You Imagine
If you’ve never thought about the moon being hollow, this book is a good place to start exploring the idea.Rob Shelsky systematically delves into the leading science-based explanations for the moon’s origin and explains why they all come up short.Working from available scientific evidence and research, he also tells us why the moon could be hollow, at least to a large degree. Basically, its density is too low for a celestial body its size and it rings like a bell when struck by space probes.Shelsky maintains a grounded approach throughout the book, carefully distinguishing between facts, myth and speculation. In other words, he does what any respectable scientist should.Following the book’s arguments, you reach the conclusion that the moon probably is hollow, or at least cavernous, and that it didn’t get that way on its own. That, of course, raises many questions about who might have done the work and how and why.Furthermore, you’ll be treated to mind-expanding possibilities that the moon hasn’t always been orbiting the Earth and that someone moved it into place with such precision that “coincidence” sounds like the dog ate your homework.If you’re like me, you’ve never heard about any of these ideas in school, so prepare to have your world (and solar system) rearranged.As much as I like this book, a few things that bothered me are worth mentioning. 1) In the final chapters about aliens, the writing wandered a little and could have used tightening. 2) The chapter conclusion sections didn’t work well when they ran to a couple of pages. The short ones (just a few sentences) did the job. 3) There’s no reason to capitalize the elements – Zinc, Oxygen, Gold, etc. As an old editor, I don’t know of any stylebook that supports this choice.

Could well be correct about this - worth a read to make you think
As others have said there is quite a lot of speculation in this book, however, how else are things to be thought about and commented upon?I think that he could well be correct, as many main stream scientists have speculated on the moon almost certainly being hollow for sound scientific reasons.As for NASA ( heard the old adage about that acronym - Never A Straight Answer?). It is fairly well known that there have been many anomalies to say the least in the way things have been or have NOT been reported on about the moon and Mars. The alteration and airbrushing of huge numbers of images from both places is also a well known fact. The gagging of various astronauts, contract workers, etc. has all been well documented.Why would this be - could they actually have something to hide? Of course, 'they' may be hiding knowledge for what is considered to be 'our own good' - we might all panic and go into a decline, riot, perhaps. Who knows?All of the foregoing does make me think that that Rob Shelsky does have a very valid point and could very probably be right.In any event, this book is well written, easy to read and well worth anyone's time, even if you leave it feeling it could all be totally ludicrous. On the other hand it could all be TRUE.

For The Moon is Hollow
The author begins by telling us that the moon should orbit the Earth in an elliptical motion but instead orbits in a curcular motion, there is no plausible explanation for this, the moon has earthquakes but has no tectonic plates, the moons surface was expected to be soft but was found to be hard with the far side even harder, anything that impacts the moon creates a hollow ringing sound, the solution must be the moon is hollow, astronomers over the years see strange lights and structures, one tower being seven miles high, a crater shaped like a triangle, most Nasa photos air brushed in these particular places, astronauts see Ufo's on the moon, more than ten claim the sameThe author talks of a shadow government responsible for its own Navy, Army and Air Force, many ancient races talk of when the moon arrived in our skies including the Bible, did the moons arrival cause the great flood told of by nearly all religions, it is believed Phobus a moon of Mars is also hollow, since we have the technology today to hollow out an asteriod and live their using it as a space ship it would have been quite simple for an alien race to have hollowed out the moon and flown it here, up to the seventies everything was about the space race then everything stopped, not just America all countries, were we warned off, the author states the moon is hollow and it is possible another reace live thereThis could explain all the Ufo sightings and Uso sightings, is it possible they also have bases on Earth and in our oceansMy verdict, an interesting theory, its certainly something to think about

Intriguing!
A very interesting thesis concerning the true origins of that enigmatic celestial body known as "our" Moon. Well-written, engaging, and thought-provoking, even if the reader does not necessarily agree with the different conceptual strands underpinning the author's theory. However, the book is well worth reading.

Padded out
All the theories and facts in this could be covered in 10 pagesStarted off good, but got very, very repetitive near the end to the point of being boring, it’s as if the author wrote a chapter went away then forgot what he’d written previously, thankfully only wasted £2 on kindle version

Read it, you'll be laughing like me
Very humourous, though I don't think it was supposed to be. Bit wishy-washy on the actual science stuff.
