I read a news article that said some scientists think it could be:

I'm just wondering if anyone else has any scholarly websites that might give a decent (and unbiased) discussion about this topic.

I suppose if aliens are visiting us, it would make perfect sense to use the Moon as an outpost where the aliens can set up bases. If they positioned themselves on the dark side we would have no idea that they were there.
I haven't seen anything to truly convince me, although I have heard eyewitness accounts from the Disclosure Project press conference that alluded to bases on the moon.

If it is inhabited right now, it's by alien life forms that have set up a base there. The Moon was born of white hot material, which left it bone dry of water. It also never had significant amounts of carbon and is bereft of the elements and compounds life as we understand it depend upon. The Moon also never had an atmosphere, oceans or plate tectonics that has kept the Earth habitable. No evidence exists whatsoever that life past or present has ever existed on the Moon. Now in the not too distant future, the Moon will be inhabited by humans. NASA has made big plans to return to the Moon, not to pick up a few rocks and leave, but to set up a permanent base there. The goal of the people who will be going there would be to continue where Apollo's astronauts left off. They will also do astronomical and geological research there that can't be done from Earth. Eventually this base will be the launching pad for a manned mission to Mars.

Well, I haven't looked up anything on it but word came down from above about something pretty special. What does the word, "Moon Base" mean to you?
Well, that's the US Government's next big project after the Space Station is completed. Construction is, supposedly, scheduled to begin 2010.

i suppose it could to an alien species that could thrive without the elements we need. however, they would have to probably stay on the dark side to avoid detection from us, but hey they are probably advanced enough that they could roam the moon and monitor us at the same time.

I can suggest an exceptional book..."welcome to moonbase" by Ben Bova.....a very well constructed layout of a permanent moonbase
