Apollo 15, was the first of three advanced lunar missions.
It was launched on July 26, 1971 and carried astronauts
Alfred Worden, James Irwin and David Scott. It was also the
first mission to include the Lunar Roving Vehicle, and
involved exploration of a part of the Hadley-Apennine region
of the moon. The mission brought back 76kg of lunar
material, some of which has been used by scientists who have
proved that the moon is, in part, a massive chunk of the
earth that was struck from our planet by a collision with a
gigantic space object billions of years ago.
Now, it seems, Apollo 15 collected something else: a shot of
an unidentified flying object. Anomaly hunters who sift
through millions of images available from NASA have found a
most unusual shot from this mission. The image shows an
object that would be among the most unusually shaped meteors
ever observed, if it is a meteor. It is not the Apollo
Command Module, which would not have been visible due to its
small size and orbital distance.
It appears above the surface of the moon, and is shown in
sharp detail, meaning that the object is probably not
tumbling so fast that it appears distorted.
So, what is it? At this point, nobody knows. NASA has had no
comment. And Apollo 15 was a successful mission, with no
reported high-strangeness events associated with it.
Until now...
