Is this an alien structure or a secret human moon base?

A mystery object spotted on the surface of the moon has sent conspiracy theorists into overdrive.

The bizarre wedge-shaped structure with rows of seven light-like dots along its edge appears on the lunar surface.

It was discovered on the Google Moon viewer at coordinates 22042'38.46N and 142034'44.52E.

Speculation has exploded over the images of the anomaly that UFO websites have likened to an alien lunar base or spaceship.

There are also theories that it is an alien spaceship nestled under the dust of the moon or even a secret moon base occupied by humans.

As I suspected, it’s entirely a google processing artifact. It’s not in the original image at all. Here is the full resolution, original image.

Thanks. Nice work.

Mystery solved.

Well, it was fun while it lasted... ;)

Calling something groovy in 1980 would get you laughed at, unless you were being facetious. I don’t recall this episode, but I would chalk it up to the then rising counter feminist Playboy bunny culture.

Nope. Calling something something in 1970 that was designed to represent the idea of 1980 "groovy" is entirely correct and apropos. And looking back from 2014, yes, the 1980 envisioned by Gerry Anderson is groovy.
