A UFO researcher claims a 3.4-mile-long moon anomaly captured in a 1967 NASA photograph is an alien 'small shuttle craft' hovering above the lunar surface. On August 21, 2026, Scott Waring, who runs UFO Sightings Daily, stated that the elongated smudge near Theophilus crater is '100 percent proof' that aliens were watching humans before the first Moon landing.
The claim emerged after the black-and-white image, taken by NASA's Lunar Orbiter 3 on February 23, 1967, resurfaced online. The frame was part of NASA's mapping work ahead of the Apollo landings and shows a stark stretch of terrain dominated by Theophilus, a large impact crater about 100–110 kilometers (62–68 miles) across.
