Scientists Spot 'Fleet' of UFOs Near the Moon, Report Says

The non-peer-reviewed preprint says some objects flashed in sync and may be linked to a hidden lunar base, drawing criticism from other scientists.

  • More than 20 unidentified objects were spotted near the Moon, according to astronomers from the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, who suggest the Moon may serve as a base for UFOs.
  • The Kyiv-based researchers categorized anomalies into "atmospheric" objects that appeared stationary and "continental" objects moving rapidly, with some structures estimated at up to 36 kilometres across.
  • Harvard University astrophysicist Avi Loeb criticized the methodology, noting the team used a six-inch telescope without independent verification and arguing that distance-calculation errors likely caused misidentification of ordinary disturbances.
  • NASA officials continue to state that no confirmed evidence of extraterrestrial technology has been found, while the NAS of Ukraine previously concluded the team's work contained significant errors and failed professional standards.
  • NASA's recent Artemis mission photographs of the lunar far side showed no evidence of lunar-based structures, and the reported anomalies remain subject to debate until independent observations using multiple telescopes confirm them.
