Two mysterious shapes in a half-century-old Apollo photo, a UFO blog claims
According to an American UFO blog, two unidentified objects are visible in Apollo 10's 1969 lunar orbit images, which the author only noticed in September 2026. For now, the claim comes from a single, unconfirmed source.
The images, designated AS10-27-3864 and AS10-27-3865, were taken during the Apollo 10 mission between May 18 and 26, 1969, while the spacecraft was orbiting the Moon. In a September 23 post, Scott C. Waring, who runs the site ufosightingsdaily.com, claims that two unusual shapes can be seen near the spacecraft in the images: a thicker, triangle-shaped object and a spherical object with a flat disk discernible beneath it.
According to Waring, the objects may be similar in size to the Apollo module and only appear smaller in the image because they are farther away. The blog post suggests they could be unpiloted devices of alien origin that are watching and recording the human space program, but this is solely the author's assumption and is not supported by any analysis or measurement.
As far as is currently known, this single blog post is the only account of the case so far. It is not known whether NASA or any independent researcher has examined the two images, nor is it clear what method Waring used to identify the shapes in the half-century-old photos. Until such an analysis is done, the origin of the two shapes remains an open question.
