It was hard to make anything out on this one. It's not the same color as the stuff around it, so that sticks out. It also looks like tracks run next to it in the third picture.

It's probably a bird, or a chinese lantern though.

I like it anyway. Good find.

I like it too.

I usually just yawn when i see these moon pictures, but this one is way more interesting than most of them. Could just be some rocks dust and tricks of light and shadow, but it's an interesting shape and fun to look at.

Thanks for posting it!

pretty cool..
dont care much for nasa stuff,.. you only see what they want you to see

my name is weneedtoknow, because we need to know

Thanks for the feedback and interest so far.

What makes this standout more than any other moon anomaly I've seen so far, is that there appears to be more a 3D look about it as well as a number of BRIGHT lights that appear in 4 places...they are certainly brighter than anything else in the surrounding areas.

If nothing else it's a very strange formation that appears rather unique...

The imagres of the 'alien craft' look like shadows to me. But how do the shadows fall on both the sides of the white rocks (?) is what I dont understand.

looks to me like some fish shaped object with glowing eyes.
But what do I know,I saw Elvis in a grill cheese sandwich once.Thanks for the maybe crashed alien space craft.

WHOA! Thats a space craft if i ever seen one.
Where did you find this


s&f

Interesting find. While the main feature you focus on is surely compelling, I am more captivated by the apparent "tracks". It's in the neighborhood of the A-15 landing site, (which accounts for the high resolution), but it's a bit too far away for a rover visit; about 42km. The parallel lines are 15m apart as measured with the ruler tool. (Is this accurate? (I imagine that google's moon team would have accounted for this, but i don't know for sure))

I'm leaning towards scratches on the negative, but it's hard to say for sure...

Surveying the area for similar features, here's the first thing to show up on my radar:



What's that??

the "dots" measure about 12m apart.

Oh, I think I may have been too hasty. sorry to distract from the object of interest... Looking at the "track" I just posted from a wider viewpoint betrays it for what it must be: a "stitching" artifact. Check it:

There could be something in this one?

Beats the old Nasa airbrushed "lets all guess what they have covered up now routine?"

Its food for thought and no doubt Mike or Zorgon will stick there nose in for a looksee!

what google earth you guys are using i cant get that close to the surface
send link so i can download the right version

I think I can see a person walking in that photo with shadow behind them?
Do you have image focusing software at all? Might be worth downloading a free trial and sharpening up the image?

That's pretty cool, Space Jockey. No idea what it is.

At first glance it looks like something on the photo itself and not on the Moon, I have to look for the original photo.

But it was a good find!

'fraid "my" google moon doesn't show that level of detail. How did you get down to that level of detail? I just get a blur.

However I did find a giant (62m) moon spider at 25 28 26 16N 3 31 02 02E.

Hi All, glad that most of you are as intrigued as I am by this image

I'm using Google Earth PRO so that's why the higher definition.

Here's one of the other shapes I found, though not as interesting as the possible alien craft. Very similar to the vectors shown in the Moon Rising movie:



Cheers,

I have looked at photos AS15-M-0414, AS15-M-0587 and AS15-M-0855, and that thing does not appear in any of those photos, so I am more convinced that it's just a photo problem and not something that was on the Moon.

Usually, those dark things are just the result of a scanner that was not clean enough (it's hard to keep a scanner perfectly clean).

My bad- I must have Google pro to witness this alien site.
I will give you this.. great imagination!
