Astronomers studying the moon claim to have captured possible evidence of a technologically advanced nonhuman civilization. Scientists at Ukraine's Main Astronomical Observatory have reported seeing more than 20 unidentified objects in and around the moon across several months in 2025.
The disc-shaped objects varied in size, with some estimated to be between 15 and 25 miles across. The study, which has not been peer-reviewed, identified two categories: 'atmospheric' objects that seemed stationary and 'continental' objects that appeared to move across the lunar surface.
Observations and Anomalies
Researchers recorded the main group of objects on September 7, 2025, during two observation periods at 7:05pm and 7:27pm ET. Additional ring-shaped objects were detected on August 16, 2025, at 2:52am ET. The sightings were captured using a high-speed camera attached to a telescope in Vinarivka, near Kyiv, snapping 20 images per second.
The objects emitted rapid flashes lasting between one-tenth and half a second, with brightness rising and falling in repeating patterns. Objects hundreds of miles apart seemed to flash in unison, a link researchers said was statistically significant, though it does not prove communication or intelligent control.
Strange Ring-Shaped Objects
On August 16, 2025, enormous ring-shaped objects appeared against the daytime sky, barely visible until enhanced with false colours. They absorbed nearly all radiation hitting them, measured an estimated 22 miles across, and completed a full rotation every three minutes while reaching speeds of 6.8 miles per second.
Based on size and rotation, researchers calculated the objects must generate centrifugal force more than double Earth's gravity, hypothesizing they produce their own artificial gravity. They argued the objects could reach Earth within 20 minutes and that their intelligent behaviour may point to a 'technologically advanced civilisation' aware of our planet and moon.
Caveats and Skepticism
There is no solid scientific evidence proving intelligent alien life exists or that there are artificial structures on the moon. NASA and the US government have never confirmed any sighting involving extraterrestrial technology.
For the research to hold, the faint shapes must be genuine objects rather than atmospheric distortions or glitches. The study remains not peer-reviewed, so the giant craft have not been independently confirmed or denied.
