ET expert Scott Waring took to his etdatabase.com blog to discuss the lunar anomaly, shot by 1969’s Apollo 12 crew. He said: “I found this UFO in an Apollo 12 index and it shows a U-shaped UFO with a blue trail behind it.

“The object is huge and from the angle of the blue trail, the UFO must have come down at a 45 degree angle to the surface of the Moon.
