Some of the 20 UFOs Near the Moon Are Ring-Shaped and Spin at Twice Earth's Gravity, Astronomers Claim

Astronomers at Ukraine's Main Astronomical Observatory say they have detected more than 20 unidentified flying objects near the Moon, using high-speed camera systems at the Vinarivka observatory in rural Ukraine.

The team, led by researcher Boris Zhilyaev, reports observing large ring-shaped structures close to the lunar surface, some estimated at up to 36 kilometres across and said to rotate roughly every three minutes, which they calculate would generate centrifugal forces exceeding twice Earth's gravity.
