We need to break the taboo that does not allow serious scientific research to create grounds for serious scientific studies of the presence of the flying vehicles of extraterrestrials and their artificial structures on our moon,

There is no such taboo. The problem may be that every serious study has pruduced results you don’t like (mundane explanation or insufficient evidence to reach any conclusion). 

Structures on the moon?

Well so far no evidence shows they are wrong and the lack of interest in evidence is disturbing... Martian canals? You're reaching John... Anytime ridicule substitutes for evidence there is a problem... 

Pointing out that the evidence shows that people, even scientists, make mistakes about what they see is a vital part of the scientific examination of UFOs.
Otherwise you end up believing everything.
The lack of evidence is inevitable, (not least because of what I and others already said)

Serious scientific research requires evidence- usually repeatable evidence. So, you can't do research on things that don't provide evidence.
That's not a "taboo", it's the basis of science so, if we say we don't need to follow it in this line of research, what's to stop people deciding to ignore it in other fields?

Would you like to break the taboo and allow , for example, medicines that have no basis in evidence?

Every time a  flying object pops up somewhere where it can be studied properly- ie where evidence can be collected, it is identified and isn't a UFO.

So the UFO's necessarily come from the subset where evidence is lacking.

The lack of interest among scientists  is inevitable because there's nothing to do science on (except, perhaps psychology) and the lack of evidence is also an inevitable matter of definition of "unidentified".

When you say "

One scientist J. Allen Hynek, who was hired by the air force to debunk UFO sightings actually changed sides

you are making the logical fallacy of an appeal to authority and you should know better.
When ridicule replaces logical fallacy, it's an improvement.

A thread claiming evidence of aliens needs to provide some evidence. As Carl Sagan (and others) have put it, extraordinary claims rerquire extraordinary evidence. Crappy videos do not qualify.
