This bizarre alien-like shape on the moon was spotted by an eagle-eyed Google Maps user.

A mysterious figure appears to stare into the distance of the lunar landscape complete with a matching shadow behind it.

It was first uploaded in a YouTube clip by user Wowforreeel which now has over 500,000 views.

He wrote: "Looks like it could be a cast shadow from a massive standing object, or figure."

Other users were as baffled by the unusual shape, one wrote: "looks like a vulture﻿," while another added: "It could be a walking man."

One user said: "Okay, you found me!"
