\nA shadowy figure was spotted on the moon’s surface last month, and since then it has grabbed the attention — and the extremely wild imagination — of the Internet.
\nYouTube user Wowforreeel first started investigating the figure using\u00a0Google Moon<\/a>, a collection of millions of\u00a0NASA images made public<\/a>, according to KGW. On its face, the “figure” looks like a shadow created by any number of geological formations on the moon’s surface.
\nBut as these things go, the Internet is pointing to aliens and an ancient statue from Greece as the true subjects of the photos. The Examiner even\u00a0urges its readers to set aside all logic<\/a>\u00a0before examining the mysterious shape:<\/p>\n

\nThis isn’t the first time<\/a>\u00a0that Internet users have decided that rocks — or craters, or shadows, or light — are most definitely aliens. Take a look at our\u00a0slideshow of photos taken by NASA’s rover Curiosity<\/a>, which features objects on Mars that look like aliens, but probably aren’t.\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
