Aliens? In 2013? Could this be the year we finally make contact with extra-terrestrial beings, who are going to enslave the entire human race, or just blow up our planet to make room for an interstellar highway? Maybe, if this video of a UFO flying round our Moon is real.
God knows what this really is — probably just some sort of artefact on the lens or something — but you could be forgiven for thinking aliens have landed on the Moon. One tiny-looking craft jets out of the Moon’s dark side to blaze over the surface before a second one follows, immediately pulling a 90-degree turn. Both white specks leave what looks like rocket trails behind them too.
Well, that’s what UFO nuts are saying anyway. Me? I call bull shit, but hell, it’s fun to imagine that one day your boss won’t be the only one who rules and ruins your life’s ambitions. [YouTube via Daily Mail]
The Moon Looks Like a Distant Alien World From Up There
This Is Not an Alien Planet
Is There Poop on the Moon?
I for one welcome our new moon surfing overlords.
You serial welcomer, you!

Mmmm …cerial!
You can’t eat cilial all the time
Always wondered why you would set off into space and then take a sudden 90 degree turn to goo in the other direction. Maybe the Aliens are using Apple Maps?
goo=go
Could be right in the first place, Aliens often seem to be producing goo
Sorry, I’ll get me coat.
Is there a Giz competition to relate EVERY post to Apple Maps that I don’t know about?
Yep. It was back in September.
Ooohhh SNAP!
Yes and the top commenter receives a free subscription to Google Maps for a year and then its costs nothing thereafter. Fantastic prize if you ask me, which you won’t. Possibly
Many almost identical videos have been seen and explained before.
They are generally just particles of ice that are being pushed about by the force of the stabilising thrusters.
There’s a lot more than one if you look around the video – that alone proves it’s either a whole fleet of the alien things, or something entirely more mundane. I’m betting it ain’t ET.
Nazis, not aliens.
I was thinking that just as I hit publish
The surest sign of extra-terrestrial existance is that they never contact us!
I call that a sign of intelligence!
Its a con to make you click on the advertising link on the rhs of the picture. Tedious.
Its swamp gas.
Reflecting off a weather balloon/GRAIL satellite…
Created and sponsored by whoever put that opaque image of a cat and its feeding dish in the lower right corner, not to mention the banner ad that appears RIGHT OVER the ‘UFO’ at the start of the video forcing you to close the ad – whose content I didn’t even pay any attention to anyway.
And who shot the video anyway and why is it in 480P when NASA can resolve to somewhat more?
A bit like all the dubious UFO footage/photos of the past, yet when a helicopter crashes in London, it’s all caught in glorious HD because it was a real event and didn’t need any jiggery fakery.
