Joking aside, if this is really a rocket body impact, there is literally no way we didn’t fully record the launch, the trajectory, and travel.
As well, if the crash site were fully on the moons far side (backside), the crash site area would need a lunar orbiter from a mission of our own around the far side of the moon to image it.

“...Western media coverage tends to ignore or deliberately downplay China’s space achievements, to include the Chang’e 4’s attempt, China has yet again proven that it is dead serious about its deadlines set for its ambitions in space. The ambition to land on the far side of the moon was articulated by China’s space agencies years ago, and 2018 was set as the year when they would launch. And here we are, in 2018, with another Chinese space mission goal achieved as per the deadline set. This meeting of deadlines set has been the trajectory of China’s unmanned (1999) and manned space missions (2003), its space stations, the Tiangong 1 (2011) and Tiangong 2 (2016), as well as the indigenously built cargo spacecraft, the Tianzhou 1 (2016), which docked with the Tiangong 2.”

There is a whole lot more, but much of it is actually classified.
They have been “marking” off portions of the moon for a while. China also believed they could avoid much of our surveillance and possible targeting by setting up shop on the far side of the moon. They are partially correct, but only for a “window” in time.
