YouTube user Wowforreeel first started investigating the figure using Google Moon, a collection of millions of NASA images made public, according to KGW. On its face, the "figure" looks like a shadow created by any number of geological formations on the moon's surface.

　　But as these things go, the Internet is pointing to aliens and an ancient statue from Greece as the true subjects of the photos. The Examiner even urges its readers to set aside all logic before examining the mysterious shape:

　　Of course, the shadow might be explained in a number of ways, particularly as a trick of light or a camera lens glitch.

　　But, if those explanations are ruled out, it still leaves the question of what this object is, since it appears to be rising a great distance from the surface of the Moon.

　　外星人是否存在一直都是众多科学家和UFO爱好者们非常关注的问题。而近日，有人却从“谷歌月球”收录的一张月球卫星照片里发现了疑似人形的影像，引发了众多猜测和讨论。

　　8月13日，美国一家媒体报道，一名“YouTube”网站用户从立体月球地图软件“谷歌月球Goolge Moon”收录的美国国家航空航天局数百万张月球卫星照片中挖出了这张图片。根据图片上的指示来看，确实很像一个人走在月球表面上，还形成了影子。

　　新闻网站观察家网公布他的发现，说如果不考虑逻辑，那么那个影像可能是外星生命体。

　　“当然，对那个影子可以有多种解释，”观察家网的汤姆·罗丝说，“但如果这些解释都被排除，仍有一个疑问，就是那东西到底是啥，它似乎从月球表面升起一段距离。”
