The "might" could be verified with relatively inexpensive unmanned landers - instead NASA comes up with a multi-billion dollar Moon program, and uses that "might" as a teaser, instead of quickly sending out the probes (it could be done cheaply in less than a year) to check.
Amazing that next to no spacecraft have been sent to the moon since Apollo. It’s like it doesn’t exist. It could be done cheaply and by any country with any kind of space program. They could even check up on Hoagland’s glass skyscrapers—yes or no.
