- YouTube user Wowforreal has posted a video showing the strange figure
- It can also been seen on Google Moon at 27°34’26.35″N 19°36’4.75″W
- The find was made by looking over thousands of Google Moon images
- The users has previously claimed to see an alien spaceship on the moon
- Seeing familiar things in random objects is a known as Pareidolia
- Scientists claim we also tend to use this ability to ‘enrich our imagination’ and recognise meaningful shapes, even when they’re not there
From a lunar base to alien spaceships, the dark secrets hidden in the moon’s surface have long been a source of fascination for conspiracy theorists.
Now one YouTube user believes he has made the ultimate find on images from Google Moon – an alien figure lurking in the satellite’s deep craters
Wowforreel’s video shows what he says could be an alien figure walking along the surface and it has already been viewed more than two million times in less than a month.
However, the most likely explanation for the sighting is a psychological phenomenon called Pareidolia, which is the brain’s response to seeing faces and other significant objects in random stimulus.
(What is this mystery figure on the moon? The image was spotted on the Google Moon site by web user Jasenko. Nasa announced the shape is simply ‘dust, an eyelash [or] scratch on the negative’ of the film that took the image)
The strange shape can also be seen on Google Moon at 27°34’26.35″N 19°36’4.75″W.
Tom Rose, a paranormal explainer, wrote in the Examiner the figure bears an uncanny resemblance to what the ancient statue, ‘The Colossus of Rhodes’, is thought to have looked like before it was felled a massive earthquake in 226 BC.
Wowforreel said he started investigating the shadow after receiving an online tip from another web user named Jasenko.
‘An irregularly shaped dark spot he noticed on Google Moon looks like it could be a cast shadow from a massive standing object, or figure,’ Wowforreeel told UFO Sighting Daily.
‘At first I thought maybe it was something drawn into the picture but after going to Google Moon, whatever it is or isn’t…uh, is there.’
The images used to create the lunar images for Google’s moon series come from Nasa. However, the space agency has yet to comment on exactly what they believe the image shows.

This isn’t the first time that Wowforreel has spotted strange objects after ploughing through Google’s moon series.
