🌕🚨 20+ UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS AROUND THE MOON? — Ukrainian Astronomers Report Strange Shapes Moving Across the Lunar Disc
Posted by Team - September 19, 2026

The observations were recorded from Vinarivka, Ukraine, during two sessions in August and September 2025. Researchers used an Intes-Alter M603 telescope with a high-speed astronomical camera, then processed the footage to increase the contrast of objects that were barely visible against the lunar surface.
The team divided the objects into two unusual categories.
“Atmospheric” objects appeared to remain fixed relative to certain areas of the Moon. “Continental” objects appeared to move across the lunar disc at speeds estimated between six and eleven kilometers per second.
Some were reconstructed as discs measuring between 25 and 40 kilometers wide.
The strangest examples appeared toroidal, meaning shaped like a ring or doughnut. The researchers estimated one of these structures was approximately 36 kilometers across and completed a rotation roughly every three minutes. Their mathematical model produced a centrifugal acceleration around 2.2 times the force of gravity experienced on Earth.
The authors went far beyond simply calling the objects unidentified.
They suggested the Moon could serve as a base for an advanced technological civilization capable of reaching Earth in about 20 minutes.
That is an extraordinary claim, and the evidence is nowhere near strong enough to establish it as fact.
The proposed structures are extremely faint. Many occupy only a handful of pixels before image processing. There are also no independent observations from another telescope positioned far enough away to prove the objects were actually near the Moon rather than somewhere inside Earth’s atmosphere or caused by the camera system.
The researchers’ earlier UAP work also carries baggage.
In 2022, the scientific council at the same Ukrainian observatory reviewed a previous study from the group and concluded that its data processing and interpretation contained significant errors, particularly when calculating the distances to alleged objects. The council also said the researchers had not adequately ruled out natural phenomena or human-made objects.
Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb separately argued that distance errors in the earlier study could turn nearby artillery shells, insects or other ordinary objects into seemingly enormous craft traveling at impossible speeds.
That does not automatically explain the new lunar footage.
It does mean the claimed sizes, speeds and locations should be treated cautiously until other observatories capture the same objects independently.
So what do you think?
Did these astronomers record enormous structures operating near the Moon, or did a few faint pixels become something extraordinary after distance á´€ssumptions and digital processing?
