"Life, but not as we know it Scotty" ..... The words attributed to Captain Kirk whenever they found something they couldn't explain. Well here's one for you:
1). Down load this picture from the NASA site ... http://www.hq.nasa.gov/alsj/a15/AS15-89-12016HR.jpg
2). Open it up fully using a photo-viewer that allows close-ups and ...
... well an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) is apparent if you look closely.
Or, if you trust me not to have Photoshopped it, then look at these examples from the picture ...
Of course the uncritical part of the web goes wild .... but look more carefully ......
With no atmosphere on the Moon to leave 'a trail', the line beneath and to the left of the 'UFO', suggests something a little more prosaic .... a bit of lens dirt, aka lens specks, the curse of cameras since their creation. Probably a pollen speck with a tail, or maybe something like lint from the polishing process on Earth.
"Seeing is believing" as they say, but more often than not, we "see only what we want to see".
