A group of researchers at the Central Astronomical Observatory of Ukraine has reported observing more than 20 unknown objects moving near and above the surface of the Moon during several months of 2025.
According to a new study, which has not yet undergone the scientific evaluation process, some of the disc-shaped objects were estimated to be between 15 and 25 miles in diameter.
The team of researchers divided the objects into two categories: “atmospheric” objects, which appeared to be stationary; and “continental” objects, which appeared to move across the lunar surface.
Researchers claim that the objects exhibited unusual changes in brightness and rotation. According to them, these patterns could be linked to organized and technological behavior, also raising the hypothesis that the objects could originate from a hidden base on the Moon.
“UFOs are observed on Earth and in near space. We believe that the Moon serves as a base for UFOs,” the team’s study states.
According to researchers, these objects can reach Earth within about 20 minutes and appear in the atmosphere as UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena).
They argue that their supposedly intelligent movements could be indicative of the existence of a “technologically advanced civilization.” However, the claims have not been confirmed by the scientific community and the study has not yet passed the peer-review process.
