The moon is actually a giant spacecraft watching our planet, with a crew of aliens inside driving it around.

At least that’s what UFO conspiracy sites reckon after a video shot in Krasnodar, Russia, appears to show the moon flying around, then shooting off into the skies.

UFO Sightings Daily says, ‘The object moves much too fast to be the moon and changes its glow.

‘Smart trick on their behalf, but smarter people are catching on to alien tricks.’


Other, more sceptical, observers suggest that digital editing may have been involved – noting that the same YouTube account uploaded a video of a ghost captured on dashcam not too long ago.

Nigel Watson, author of UFOs of the First World War, says, ‘The idea of the Moon being hollow and the home to extraterrestrial beings isn’t new. H.G. Wells used this concept in his novel, The First Men in the Moon published back in 1901.



‘It came in favour as a a factual concept in the 1970s, after the Apollo Moon landings. Most of the theory is down to the fact that the Moon doesn’t seem to be as dense as the Earth, leading to the idea of it being hollow.

‘If the Moon is a huge alien craft captured in the gravitational embrace of the Earth, it would account for a variety of artefacts and ‘buildings’ seen on the Lunar surface suggesting that it is, or was inhabitated by alien astronauts.
