The video discusses various mysterious luminous events observed on the Moon between 1875 and 1886, particularly during notable dates and celestial occurrences such as the opposition of Mars. It details specific observations of bright spots, changes in lunar features, and phenomena that may suggest signaling or activity on the Moon's surface.

Key Points:

Luminous projections observed from the Moon
On July 13, 1875, officers from HMS Coran noticed a luminous projection from the Moon. This occurrence was hypothesized to be part of a series of significant events leading to the opposition of Mars, with further similar projections noted in subsequent years.

Significant observations near lunar craters
During 1877, astronomers observed bright spots and luminous effects in various lunar craters, suggesting changes on the Moon's surface. Specifically, a bright line of light was reported across the crater Exodus, further fueling speculation about transient astronomical phenomena.

Recurring sightings during Mars opposition
Many of the observations coincide with the opposition of Mars, suggesting potential relationships between these celestial events and the visibility of oddities on the Moon. The frequency of reports seemed to peak during these periods.

Reports of peculiar light and shades
Throughout the years, astronomers reported peculiar phenomena, such as reflections resembling moving mirrors and odd lights resembling smoky features. These observations contributed to the ongoing mystery surrounding lunar activity.

Connection between Earth atmospheric phenomena and lunar appearances
There is speculation that atmospheric events on Earth may influence what is seen on the Moon. Reports in 1883 and 1884 described light effects on the Moon's surface that were not typical of Earthshine, suggesting possible interactions.

Diverse colors and patterns observed
Throughout the years from 1880 to 1886, astronomers reported a range of hues from reddish smoke-like appearances to stark lights—suggesting varied phenomena that continued to intrigue enthusiasts and scientists alike.
